I asked my mom again if I could play VRChat, and of course, all I got was a “maybe.” It’s like I can’t even get a clear answer, and it’s driving me crazy. VRChat is one of the few places where I feel like I can be myself, but every time I ask, I just get stuck in this limbo. It’s so frustrating. And on top of that, dealing with hate just for being trans and poly—it never ends. People act like it’s their business to judge me for who I am, like they know anything about my life. It hurts, and sometimes I feel like I’m just drowning in it all. I just wish people would let me live without all this hate and judgment.
