Hi there. This isnt my usual project, and i’ve been drifting away from scratch for some reason. ig its just not that appealing to me. im definitely not leaving tho. idk if anyone has heard of the artist black polish. they are bisexual and nom-binary. basically, they were rasied with religion, went to a religious school. they were bisexual and told no one. they took a pic in their room with a bi flag in the background and posted it on instagram. girls at their school saw it and told teachers about it. (again, it was seen as wrongful or a sin) and they were sent to conversion therapy. now, i didnt rlly know what that was. i knew the goal was to make u not ‘think’ ur LGBTQ, and just make u not be that way ‘anymore’ i just looked up what it rlly was. back then, they used elecroshock therapy on ppl. now, they gaslight you. they give u drugs. they blame it on trauma, environments your in. use nausea-inducing drugs to connect with ur thoughts on LGBTQ and throwing up would be a result as those thoughts. using religious pressure, prayer, EXORSISMS, SHAMING, and ISOLATION to ‘CURE’ you. PHYSICAL ABUSE AND BEATINGS after acting on or having LGBTQ thoughts/feelings SHACKLING AND CONFINMENT for periods of time. STARVING AND NUTRITION RESTRAINT Forcing individuals into freezing water to induce physical trauma alongside anti-LGBTQ+ lecturing. Utilizing extreme heat or metal coils to inflict pain during exposure to LGBTQ+ imagery. Forcing individuals into exhausting physical labor to "build character" or force them into stereotypical gender roles.
When I was 13, I was sent to a counselor who prescribed me heavy medication. They hoped it would change who I was attracted to and help me fit in with my peers, even though the pressure caused me severe anxiety. Going through that difficult experience ultimately led me to struggle heavily with unhealthy coping mechanisms and substance issues later in life. this is only a simplified version of the story of this poor person is about. i will link the actual story but BE WARNED!!!!!!!!! IT HAS VERY VERY VERY TW AND ADULT THEMES TO IT!!!! PLEASE IF UR YOUNG DO NOT OPEN IT!!! i am religious…and even i think this is 100% not ok. KIDS are going thru this. they dont deserve this trauma. exploring yourself shouldnt be a punishment. and u think ppl choose this??? to be treated like a prisoner, isolated from everyone they love?? if so, you are a sick person. this isnt ok. lets fix the way we act please.
