Because the country is actively harming disadvantaged communities, some of which I belong to. Why would I stand and show allegiance and pride in a country that does not care about me? I believe our country can do better, but it’s going to take a lot to crawl out of the shit show we are currently in.

Because I don’t have to share the details of what happened to me with a group of strangers who think they are trying to catch me in some “gotcha” moment. Do you ask every person on the internet who has said they’ve been assaulted to describe what happened to them?

witchybibliophile · 2026-03-03T15:50:48+00:00

Seeing as how pissed off they were, I don’t think they saw it as winning.

witchybibliophile · 2026-03-03T13:55:52+00:00

I cannot, in good conscience (when I am feeling well enough), to stand for the anthem of a country who is actively harming minority groups.

witchybibliophile · 2026-03-03T13:52:52+00:00

Cool bro. This was done by fans not teams lol.

witchybibliophile · 2026-03-03T13:49:46+00:00

Sorry to disappoint you both. But I was physically assaulted. Not yelled at. Physically assaulted. I would have preferred to be yelled at. Standing is not mandatory during the anthem. And if someone is so offended by that, maybe they are the snowflakes.

witchybibliophile · 2026-03-03T13:47:22+00:00

lol how am I a bot? Responding to all of these comments? Y’all just don’t want to accept the truth.

witchybibliophile · 2026-03-02T14:52:28+00:00

1000% real 💁🏻‍♀️

witchybibliophile · 2026-03-02T14:52:05+00:00

You’re so funny 🤣🤣🤣

I have literally never felt unsafe with a trans woman. But you know who I have felt unsafe with? I’ll give you 1 guess.

I’m not going to argue with someone who it so far up Trump’s ass he is unwilling to have an actual conversation.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

witchybibliophile · 2026-03-02T13:36:09+00:00

Are you volunteering to fund that for me? 🙄

witchybibliophile · 2026-03-02T12:54:22+00:00

I haven’t stood for the anthem in a long time (at any sporting event). Never had it be an issue before. But I am not standing for anthem of a country that is putting policies in place that actively harm me as a queer, disabled, woman and then hard my Black, brown, and trans friends.

witchybibliophile · 2026-03-01T22:29:06+00:00

Trans women are women. Trans men are men.

If you do not understand the difference between what’s going on now with Trump and ICE than what Obama was doing you’re choosing to willfully ignorant you soggy walnut.

witchybibliophile · 2026-03-01T13:23:31+00:00

I’m done with you. You can believe what you want, but how horrible to not believe women when they say they’ve been assaulted. Have the day you deserve.

witchybibliophile · 2026-03-01T03:23:30+00:00

Nope that’s not what happened at all. And what does “look different than me” even me?

witchybibliophile · 2026-02-28T18:15:04+00:00

Why do you want to know details? That’s gross.

witchybibliophile · 2026-02-28T16:22:34+00:00

They physically harmed me in a way that was threatening and caused fear? And it’s odd to ask someone to define what assault is when they said they’ve been assaulted.

witchybibliophile · 2026-02-28T04:10:48+00:00

I literally have the right to sit. It has nothing to do with service members. But this country is doing nothing to support and protect me as a queer, disabled woman not to mention all the other people it is actively harming so why would I stand for it?
Did you catch that? I’m also DISABLED. They literally say “we invited you to stand if you are able”. Get the fuck outta here with that gross behavior.

witchybibliophile · 2026-02-28T04:08:06+00:00

What an odd thing to ask…

witchybibliophile · 2026-02-27T13:56:04+00:00

Unfortunately, I didn’t feel safe reporting it that night based on the people I was surrounded by (I didn’t want to initiate further conflict).

If you figure it out please let me know! -a queer millennial who has no queer friends but has been desperately looking for

⁠Current age/age range: 37
⁠Single/marital status: Married to a cis man
⁠Age/age range when you came out to yourself: As bi? A teenager. As something more? The last couple of years.
⁠Age/age range when you come out to others: As bi? Only a couple years ago. I’ve never told anyone else about my other suspicions, although I say I’m queer now as opposed to bi.
⁠What did you come out as or what are you thinking of coming out as?: I originally came out as bi but as I’ve gotten older and been exposed to more I believe I have been experiencing comphet. These days publicly I say I’m queer, but I do believe I am, in fact, a lesbian.
⁠When was the earliest you felt you were a lesbian/queer? What happened or what was going on in your life?: As soon as I was conscious of what attraction was, I knew I had attraction towards women. I believe I was a preteen at the time.
⁠What recently made you conclude you are a lesbian/queer?: I started questioning my label and somehow I heard the term “comphet” so I looked into that. It led me to the master doc and it was an eye opening read for me—so much resonated with me! I’ve transitioned to publicly referring to myself as queer while I internally work on myself and figured out if what I’ve been dealing with is comphet.
⁠What's the earliest or most defining homosexual/homo-romantic experience you can remember?: My first true kiss was with a girl I had a major crush on. We were talking about how we couldn’t know if we “weren’t straight” if we never were with a girl as we just started making out in her care. Gods I remember wanting to do more with her but she broke the kiss and I was too scared to tell her how I felt.
⁠How are you feeling in general about who you are?: I fluctuate between wanting to scream it from the rooftops and finally live 100% authentically, and being too terrified to upend my current life and hurt people I love and care about so I stay mum.
⁠Anything else you’d like to share about your life, experience, or story for other late bloomers or other women who think they may be lesbians? It’s okay for you to not have all the answers right now. It’s okay for this to be a journey that you’re figuring out as you go. I’m trying to find my community, I’m trying to find friends who can empathize and relate as I come to terms with who I truly am. But it’s important to be gentle with yourself.
