Happy Pride to those brave enough to live their identity out loud. Happy Pride to those building up the courage to do the same. Happy Pride to those fighting to have their humanity recognized. Happy Pride to those giving it all they can to fight, even if it isn't much.
Friendly Reminder: Single does not equal desperate. Make sure you approach someone you are interested in, whether sexually or romantically, with the same respect that you desire.
Make sure you are getting tested if you are sexually active. Especially in states that restrict access to abortion as those states have seen an increase in STI transmissions
Cheer to the fallen solider. Both the known and the unknown soldiers that allow us what freedom we have in a country with a bunch of medicore White men with a false sense of grandeur who are actively restricting said freedom to all but the rich.
We celebrate your sacrifice

Your triggers and traumas exposed to someone you just met is not fair to them or yourself. In that, you may be creating a whole set of triggers for this person that would be passed on to the next and so forth.
I personally will not say you must be 100% totally relieved of all said trauma, but it is your job to be in control of yourself when activated. They didn’t do anything to create said trigger and are likely unaware.
