“Existence as that which is hated, as that which is terrible and fearsome, as well as to be treated as a danger or a threat by those unfamiliar, is an absolute terror to the heart. To be treated like a villain without provocation is a familiar experience to me. I feel like I am often projected upon, having negative and awful ideas piled upon to my percieved personality, on to my physical and mental capabilities, and on to all aspects of my personhood. I, the beast, shed both blood and tear for a divided and unjust world.”
