Answer: There have been many times Where I felt that my identity was not accepted or encouraged. There are many people that don't seem to respect that people are different than them and want to hurt them for it or feel as if it's not important to respect. It is a truly awful feeling. Being in a state where you are made to feel as if there is a part of you that isn't important makes you feel unimportant as a whole. The best way to fight against this is to try and ignore those people and to try your best to surround yourself with people that will accept every part of you and honor yourself by loving every aspect that is apart of you.
