Problem #1: Being a femme.

- It's tough being LGBTQ. It's even harder being a non-conformist to gender stereotypes and being within the community. There are so many femme guys (cis or not) who get a ton of flack by others. Some femme guys get trouble from masculine gay guys about making the gay community "look bad" or "a walking stereotype" and if you're a femme transguy, you get it too -- if not worse.

Problem #2: Being a POC (Person of Color)

- It's self-explanitory. Non-white people in the LGBTQ get the short end of the stick, and if you're a trans person of color...oh it's more of a pain in the ass. It sucks to be a minority in the minority and get little to no recognition at all. (I'm not POC, just speaking form what I've seen and know from personal experience).
