2SLGBTQIA+ identity can help us as people feel relief from the social pressure to fill rigid roles in society. It is a spectrum of social positions from which the world can be viewed. Queerness can help all people, queer or not, feel liberated to self define and live authentically.

What makes you feel empowered in your identity?

Queer identity provides me space to expand on my self concept in non normative ways. It gives me creative freedom over my gender presentation and expression. I am grateful to be queer because it allows me to be myself without apology.
