My Emancipation

I still frequent Facebook. There are some people there worth keeping up to date with. It is still very relevant where I come from. Not necessarily with gen z but millennials and older are still very much on it. And many things still go viral on Facebook.

So a bisexual friend of mine, who's married and has come out to his wife about his sexuality mind you, had the audacity to leave a comment making fun of a transgender individual tying the knot akin to Hindu South Indian customs to a man. This trans individual also had facial hair and looked like they were presenting as non binary which I believe invited the slew of queerphobic comments. I am also being  a tad bit presumptuous as she may also identify as a trans woman.

All that was to simply preface my anecdote.

Now, my emancipation comes in the form of being able to block someone on Facebook.

And as I age, I do not stall. The click is exceptionally prompt.

Especially when I see a queerphobic rhetoric. It doesn't even have to be explicit queerphobia.

And that gives me an overwhelming sense of catharsis.
