Why I Can No Longer Support Blaire White
I am not transgender, I am not non-binary and I am not a member of the LGBTQ+ group. But there is one thing I am sure about. I love them. I'm friends with them. I know them and I have grown up with them. They are brilliant people. They are scientists and artists, they are actors, singers and chemists, they are librarians, parents, friends and family members. They are all over the world. They exist in so many different forms that I feel like there are always new people to meet and learn about. When they create things - it really cleanses my soul. Why? You know that I have always been a huge supporter of how we need as many different types of invention, art and expression as possible in order to get the full experience of difference as humans. My point is, they are human beings and I support the way they express themselves because they way I have seen it - self-expression is a beautiful thing. Self-expression of the LGBTQ+ community has often been oppressed and the fact that it is becoming more normalised and there are happier members of that community makes me have faith in the world again. Don't get me wrong, there is still a long way to go to normalise their identities entirely but, it is much better than it used to be.
