MAP

To celebrate, I'll remember the time that I saw an anti-MAP complaining that our flag was way too cute and that they were jealous.

im getting a tattoo soon. itll have either the map colours or have the sun incorporated into it, im not sure yet. its something ive been thinking about for about two years, and im pretty confident in the decision. im excited but also a little nervous

Helllooo... I'm new here.. For my introduction, I'm unfortunately "too old" to be desired now from what i've been told .. (14, turning 15 in a few months) I've always been into big age gaps, for some reason. My first ever relationship was with a 22 year old, when I was 13 not long ago. I tend to be shamed for preferring affection from an older person, and often called immature, people say I don't know what i'm talking about but i've honestly given up with kids my age. I know I'm not supposed to be seeking relationships as of now, but I feel the urge to offer someone a reason as to why I'm not just a horny teenager.

Awkward intro done..!! hope you're all having a good day <3

It's April 25th, so I just wanted to make a quick post to celebrate. I'm not really the best person to go over the history of this day, how it came about, or what it means to the MAP community today, but I wish everyone a safe, happy, and healthy day where they can feel a bit more connected with everyone and (just maybe) feel a bit of pride in having survived in a society that mistreats us.

If anyone knows about or can point to some resources that discuss Alice Day, feel free to post it!

I waited some time to share this story... I can't forget about it

I was working a booth at an art convention and this lovely girl came up. She couldn't have even been 10.

English is not the native language where I live, but she spoke with near-native ability. She was interested in my art, and started chatting away and asking good questions about my designs. Then we talked about books and cartoons. She was spunky and confident and hilarious, with strong opinions. She talked my ear off for more then minutes!

Then she bought a piece and asked for my signature. As she walked away she turned back and we locked eyes. She said with all possible sincerity: "It was REALLY nice to meet you. " I could see some sadness on her face.

I wish I could have taken her home with me! Or at least hugged her goodbye. It was a wonderful, warm interaction that I will treasure forever. I hope she feels the same

hii all! been awhile since my last post. just been feeling very lonely lately, don’t really have any map friends. looking for ppl to chat with, be friendly and chat abt MAP things.

yesterday, with some much needed help and encouragement from a user on nnia.space, I was able to come out to my partner. i told him pretty much everything, about how i feel transage and that i feel attraction towards minors. i thought for sure that it was a secret i would carry to the grave. i thought if anyone ever found out they would hate me. but apparently i'm the luckiest boy alive, because now my boyfriend knows i'm a MAP, and he still loves me. he was really understanding, kind, and accepting.

ever since then, all i can think about is how much this feels like i'm living in some kind of dream. i can just... be myself? i don't know how to do that, really.

but for the first time in my life, i feel like there's hope for us, there are people who can understand that we're an oppressed minority, and not just irrationally hate us. there may be a future where MAPs and other paras get to live their lives being, at least, tolerated, rather than reviled. i don't know if i'll ever live to see that day, but i hope so, and i am going to try to do my part to make that day a reality.

much love and para solidarity!

i drew kangel with the map flag ^-^ she's a closet to me i dont care what anyone thinks
