I want to be able to come out about my fandom self so publicly that I can talk about it on facebook where even employers could see it.
i wonder if i’ll ever be able to do it? it’s been 17 years. i never liked hiding. it makes me hurt.
I’ve started thinking about it because, um, I’ve been thinking about running for political office some time in the next few years - once I have a solid career under my feet to work off. Nothing kills political aspiration faster than trying to hide and we’re only as sick as our secrets.
this secret isn’t a sick one. Dancinbutterfly is my truest self and I want her to be someone everyone knows. i’m desperately proud of what i’ve accomplished as her and the only thing stopping me is what i’ve seen happen to people, including me, when you reveal aspects of yourself that touch on taboos (unconventional sexuality, extreme violence, non-consensual contact, human rights violations described with vivid acuteness).
i want her to stop being Her and start being Me.
i just can’t seem to decide
anon ask is open. i’m seriously asking. the more of you respond the better. I need a lot of opinions on this. there are over 800 of you who follow this blog who aren’t bots or porn blogs but only about 10 of you talk to me. please don’t be shy. I really need to hear you.
