I'll share 5 assault cases I've gone through in the hands of homophobes and 5 harassment cases I've also gone through in their hands. I'd love you guys to RTS, so this people will see they are hurting us badly.
I was once bruised badly on my wrist by homophobes in broad day. People were around but they never came to my rescue when the guys were doing shits to me. According to them, I was acting girly and they didn't like it, so one slapped me and the other grabbed my wrist until I bled
I don't even want to talk about the thousands of slurs, threats and rejections I face everyday because I being what I didn't choose to be.
I'm*
everything that happened to me messed me up big time. I won't lie. I still havent recovered from any of them. I now deal with a complicated Paranoia and anxiety.

I'm not in a good place mentally at all. Much has happened, I have passed them, but I know many will still come.
Another incident was when I was coming back from the library with my friends at night. Some group of guys called me personally and threatened me but I didn't bother much cause I was with my friends. On my way home,I felt stoned dropping heavily on me.They stoned me and my friends
That night. I got injured on my legs when I was trying to dodge the stones.
A priest after going through my queer content on Facebook,saw me in church.Called me and grabbed my neck,dude choked me while using his other hand to punch me. According to him,I shouldn't be sharing those contents.He punched hard many times and he didn't stop until he got tired
A man at Yaba market once hit me very hard, and when I tried to talk back at him, the whole guys start calling me 'gay' 'man akunna' 'ashawo boys' and 'leaking yansh'

I swear, I was embarrassed, Everyone was laughing hard. I felt the world could just swallow me that instant.
My literature lecturer after exams called me in front of many other lecturers and ask if I was a 'shemale'. She asked and laughed like a devil with other lecturers. I didn't respond. Another one asked why I was walking as if a vagina was there. They all laughed again
They said I wasn't acting like a man.
I was more like a confused people and it's not good at all for a young person.
