in high school we were assigned a project where we put objects into shoe boxes to reflect our relationship with self identity

helena's box had a whisk as she loved baking

alice's box had a canadian flag because she was canadian

my presentation went fairly well
i had a pencil in my box as i loved drawing and a picture of a dog as i love my dog
until....... o-oh.. and uh...
there was a pride flag

the teacher asked,"is that all sadie?"

**crumbles**
yess....
thats all...

some years later: PRIDE
"she looks and acts like a man,disgusting"
"homo is sin"
"HEY,DYKE!!!! why do you need to flaunt your sins?"
"onnly men get to fuck women"

"and because i can"
"i am proud"
