You are a strong person that deserves to feel amazing. Brand yourself before taking the label others impose on you. If there’s anything I’ve learnt from dealing with my personal demons, it’s the power of taking control of your identity. The twub tribe is something I’ve created, it’s for me – and whoever else feels twinkylicious with a pinch of cub couture. Identifying under my own label makes me feel like I’m standing out in some way, whilst remaining part of the community – whether I have guys gawking at my underwear pics or not. I’d identify as a twub on and offline, and for me, having a tribe that I feel I sit comfortably within, helps me navigate the minefield of ‘gay twitter’ or being #instagay on Instagram. Especially for a millenial living in the social media age where hours can be lost browsing and swiping through the lives of others. On the flip side, I love being a member of the LGBTI community, but sometimes there are those who are keen to point out our flaws.

Well, it can be really difficult to take in. Looking at yourself through a fine-sequined magnifying glass and not liking what you see….

However, I’ve recently come to the realisation that if choosing to identify as a certain label helps lessen social anxiety, boosts one’s mental well being, whether it be superficial or not, own that label and throw out the receipt!Īnxiety within the LGBTI community is a real problem. I’ve often questioned anyone that takes them too seriously. I’ve never actually been a major fan of labels.
