As an overweight, anxious, pansexual, non-binary kid, I'm used to dealing with a lot of difficult people. It takes a lot of willpower for me to calm down and try to talk things through with them. There's a kid in my class who believes there should only be 2 genders, and also thinks that the only "okay" sexuality is straight. However, we both respect each other's opinions, and I'm fine with him not being okay with it, as long as he has a good reason and isn't rude about it. He says he accepts me for who I am, even if he doesn't like who I like. We're friends now and we talk to each other often. Good luck, guys <33
