if you’re a gay/bi man you should feel empathy and concern for lesbian experience and liberation. if you’re cis and LGB you should feel empathy and concern for trans experience and liberation. if you’re a trans man you should feel empathy and concern for trans women’s experience and liberation. if you’re white and LGBT you should feel empathy and concern for LGBT POC experience and liberation. if you’re financially comfortable and LGBT you should feel empathy and concern for poor LGBT experience and liberation. i could go on all day. if you don’t, what does community mean to you?

[image description: picture of a cloud with a sad face crying. the cloud’s tears fall into a wavy sea, and on the sea there’s a small boat with a small person in a yellow raincoat holding a bucket and looking up at the sad cloud.

to the right of the cloud and in front of the starry night background there are words “10 Things to Say instead of Stop Crying”, and below on the rolling waves there is written:

1. It’s ok to be sad
2. This is really hard for you
3. I’m here with you
4. Tell me about it
5. I hear you
6. That was really scary, sad, etc.
7. I will help you work it out
8. I’m listening
9. I hear that you need space. I want to be here for you. I’ll stay close so you can find me when you’re ready.
10. It doesn’t feel fair

lastly, in the right bottom corner there is written “happinessishereblog.com The Gottman Institute” /end id]
