Being Dana… I did not choose this.

I did not choose this.

I did not choose to have my existence questioned every time I go out in public.

EVERY TIME.

I did not choose to have the false judgments of those who claim a religion of “love”.

I did not choose to have politicians publicly call for my beating, flogging, hanging, or execution.

I did not choose to have my health care stripped from me in certain states.

I did not choose to have those states also deny my existence.

I did not choose to have people like me murdered because we exist.

I did not choose to lose family members and those I love because of my existence.

I chose to continue to exist.

I chose to try to feel.

I chose to see that my life could be fulfilling.

I merely chose to be me.
