"I was saying, you know, what I lived under a bridge for a while. Yeah, because well, for lots of reasons... Addictions and things like that. Yeah, I preferred to sleep outside than at Salvation Army because Salvation Army is evil. And it isn't really great with queer people and are really bad with trans people. [...] They have things based on gender, right? It's like men's or women's floor or that. So if you're trans you're going to end up on the floor that your birth certificate says. Yeah. And that's policy. [...] ...I'm tired so, for the most part, it's just like, oh, you know, I will let you know as much as you need to. Right which, you know, is healthy boundaries anyways. But yeah, most people have very varying views on me based on their various views on different aspects of my identity. I typically think I'm a white-passing Indigenous person. I come out as Indigenous sometimes, but sometimes I don't. Sometimes I just let people think what they think because, well, for lots of reasons. I don't feel like disclosing a shit ton of trauma to you right now, but one: it's just not safe. And two: people, just as soon as you come out as Indigenous and you're white passing, you become an "Ask-a-Native" which is basically like that one person that everyone feels comfortable asking things because you don't look scary." – Anonymous
