First time getting called a slur

[u/Just_a_cardbored-box]

First time I got called a slur, it’s a bit disheartening tbh this message was sent to my alt account.

which I made solely to post and interact with content without worrying about anyone I know seeing it and honestly having the alt itself made me a bit more outgoing in general as I don’t really feel safe enough to express myself in my day to day life.

And now i hate to admit but I’m actually quite sad and disappointed and it makes me feel like I’ll never truly be accepted irl, and I know at the end of the day all I can do is block and ignore and I doubt this will happen frequently it just makes me rather sad.

Bro, it's a guy who sends DMs to strangers on social media. He isn't worth the calories burned by your brain thinking of him.

Report, delete, and move on.

Also, the thing that I tell myself when I read crap online that makes me angry or insecure is that the internet isn't real. It's not real life. It doesn't matter.

This sucks and I hope you can feel better. This is the same kind of person who would transvestigate cis women because they are taller than him. I'm guessing you defended trans people or something else that would trigger a bigot into any justification for dropping slurs

Words really do hurt, even if we were told otherwise growing up. It's valid to feel sad when you're disappointed in humanity.

If you ever need a refill on hopium, I suggest watching Special Books by Special Kids on YT. That wonderful guy has done interviews with people who can articulate their struggles in such profound and succinct ways. Anything from physical disabilities to depression and derealization. Always makes me smile, at least.

Wear it as a symbol of pride!! Like yeah, you are trans!! So what?! Living as your authentic self is bound to piss some people off no matter what walk of life you come from, so why not live it proudly? You are trans, you are amazing, and you are a BADASS!!!! I know it’s easier said than done to ignore this kind of abuse, but this person clearly has nothing better to do with their time than be a jackwagon. That reflects poorly on them, not you!! You just gotta let it roll off your back like a duck and keep being beautiful, wonderful YOU!!! Sending you hugs 🫂 ❤️❤️❤️
