I got banned from a Facebook group for asking why it’s okay for people who speak English as a second language to get my name wrong repeatedly

And how people mispronouncing my name was privilege

Genuine questions

If I struggle to pronounce a name from a language I don’t speak people will judge me as racist or prejudiced

But when I say my name is a certain way people are allowed to say it wrong continually

Apparently I’m a racist again

I’m sorry I don’t understand

I’m sorry that I didn’t belong in yet another community because I don’t understand humans

Again

What a fucking surprise

My name is not important, but everyone else’s is

That makes me feel exactly like the piece of shit I am in this world

For all the love of the Sun and the Universe

This is a world that tosses me out over and over because I don’t understand

I thought I found somewhere I belonged

What a joke that is

I don’t belong anywhere

And I’m already nothing
