can we normalize the mindset of "i don't fully understand your identity, but i accept and support you"? i've definitely felt this way before and i wish more people could do so when they don't fully grasp a label. the examples i can think of off the top of my head are aplatonic and afamilial. i don't fully understand your identity but i'm absolutely down to learn! you've found a word and a label that describes your experiences & feelings, that's awesome and i've absolutely been there! you belong in the lgbtqia+ community just as much as anyone else here!!
you don't have to understand why some people don't feel platonic or familial love in society's "typical" way or "normal" level; you don't have to understand why some people have or desire multiple partners; you don't have to understand why someone's gender is fluid; you don't have to understand why some people don't feel sexual or romantic attraction, but some of them still desire those relationships, and others may hate the idea of it; but you can be open to learning, open to being educated, and accepting of the people who have found these wonderful words to describe them and validate them, the people who belong in this community just as much as anyone with a more generally understood label. you can normalize people's identities, and normalize the fact that you do not have to completely grasp all of those identities to support those people.

Hi, my name is Mosab, and I want to take a moment to say thank you once again. Every single day, your kindness reminds me that we are not alone in this fight.
When I first shared my story, I didn’t know if anyone would listen. But you did. You showed up. And because of you, hope feels a little more real today.
Every day brings new challenges, but also small victories—thanks to you. Your support has been a light in the darkness, helping us push forward even when things feel impossible.
🏠 Still Searching for Stability – The road to safety is long, but we won’t stop fighting for a future. 😢 The Pain of Loss Never Fades – The absence of our 25 loved ones is a daily wound, but your kindness helps us heal. 💔 Dreams Still on Hold – But we believe in rebuilding, no matter how difficult the journey.
Every little act of kindness makes a difference:
💛 $10 might not seem like much, but to us, it’s a lifeline—food, clean water, a small moment of relief. 💛 A simple reblog can help us reach someone who can support us.
If you can’t donate, sharing this post means everything. Every reblog brings hope.
Your support isn’t just about donations—it’s about showing us that we’re not forgotten. That kindness still exists. That even in the darkest moments, there are people who care.
Thank you for standing with us. Your generosity, your love, and your willingness to help give us the strength to keep going.
With all my heart, Mosab and Family ❤️
