[making_excuses]

In danger of getting sidreyed, this is pretty much my opinion too. Maybe worded a bit differently than what I would have liked, nor is it something I particularly judge people about, I just don't get* the obsession by finding labels. Being defined by a label for the most part sucks.

It comes from the fact that I've lived my life being defined by a label that has nothing to do with me, but still being judged and measured up towards it. It isn't even always negative assessments about me, but they are still based on this one fucking word...

Protip: Fosterkids are like any other kids, different (which incidentally is the current campaign the Norwegian CPS is running) and nope I am not dangerous (most of us like the general population are not), nor will I steal, it also wasn't my fault my parents couldn't take care of me I was a kid for crying out loud, I did not ask to be born... And while we are at it if I tell you this fact, the correct response is not to take a step back or try to figure out if I've ever been beaten or worse by my parents.

Nor am I any better than anyone else because I am getting an higher education and stop telling me that I am special because I am a foster child going to University, don't people hear how fucking condescending that is?

*Then again I don't get a lot of things in life, so who am I to say what is right or not.

sorry, apparently I needed to rant for a bit, ignore me I do this sometimes...

what

[making_excuses]

A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes a subject by asserting that it is, on some point of comparison, the same as another otherwise unrelated object.

I feel you. Coming from a certain area I had people congratulating me the entirety of my educational life for getting decent-to-good grades. And all I heard was, "Well done, but you're still scum".

This has nothing to do with sexual identity tho.

[making_excuses]

It does, except I didn't explain it completely, because I assumed people would get it. If you get defined by your sexuality and only that stereotypes and expectations of how to live your live are there, it is the same for any kind of label, if that label defines you...

I could have used any of my other "labels", but they have not followed me as long so I used the one that I can easily rant about without using a lot of energy.

But being bisexual does bring with it a lot of thoughts and things that I don't feel the need for people judging me about my sexuality to people once in a while, but for the most part: if straight people don't, why do I have to?

My family is okay with me dating a girl now, but as my step mother famously said "you aren't married" as in it would be an issue if you married someone of the same gender as you, but be young and have fun we don't care.
