I'm amazed that the QKS audience didn't dwindle and disappear when I ended the show. I feel held by those in my life who are in my circles, on my team, and in my community. But I feel so much stronger this time-around. It's still something I'm unraveling.Īs I prep for book launch, I'm bracing myself for another wave of hate aimed my way. I haven't spoken about this publicly, but last year my therapist diagnosed me with PTSD due to the years of online harassment I've faced. The online harassment was overwhelming and horrific and I had little to no support or resources to deal with it at the time. I made the hard decision to end the webseries in 2019 because I simply couldn't take it anymore. The last seven years have been far from easy. I've written and consulted for mainstream pre-k TV, I've sold and written two WHOLE-ASS books, I've performed across the country at hundreds of schools, libraries, and orgs, I've met and worked with incredible people in my field many of whom I got to admire before calling friend.īut I'm not going to sugarcoat it. The last seven years have been an absolute ride and I owe it all to QKS. I made QKS because it's what I wished I'd had when I was a confused queer and trans kid navigating a cisheteronormative world. Wowie today marks Queer Kid Stuff's SEVENTH birthday! I almost can't believe it.
