"This is quite self-explanatory. Society has a low tolerance for the unique minorities and it would rather encourage people to pretend to be uniformly alike and that's when discourse and chaos start. I love and applaud the LGBTQI+ community for standing up and spreading awareness about our plight as a non- binary people. We don't want to be liked but rather to be acknowledged, respected, and accepted in our society. After all, we don't infringe on any one's rights." - Sizwe Sibisi
