my first rave

went with a couple friends to what I thought was gonna be like the coolest rave ever, and we had to hike through the woods in the middle of the night following a trail of glowsticks to get there, but when we got there they were playing rly shitty house music, like unironically played an ed sheeran song at one point and it was almost entirely cishet frat ppl. like we showed up and someone unironically pointed and giggled at me and another girl later on was like super weird and misgendering me and i ended up crying a lot. the rave went so bad that it actually ended with the entire organization behind the show shutting down, like someone got lost in the woods, another person fainted, im pretty sure there were some other injuries too, plus the cops raided the place at the end.

but we ended up meeting pretty much the only other trans ppl there and they were super cool and awesome and they listened to the same kinda music as me. they genuinely seemed like rly sweet ppl. we all went and got ihop together after and it was super fun and the night ended up being rly nice :) and we also had a trans waitress and she was super nice too. the whole experience made me realize how much i appreciate queer community, and how much i love being around other trans ppl ^_^
