SO, WATTPAD IS ALL ABOUT GAY and POC acceptance and stuff, but there's more to the world than just gays and people of color. Don't get me wrong, I love stories filled with gays, like love them. I have 36 stories (counting drafts) and like every single one of them is gay. A bunch of my characters are people of color, as well! Now, there are a pretty good amount of stories with queer and/or poc characters and that's amazing! There's more than that, though!

I have seen a genderqueer character once. Once. Out of the millions of stories on here that I read, only one had a genderqueer character. I think the author deleted it too. Yeah. Transgender, Non-Binary, Agender, etc, people exist! Check out @Transgendercommunity's Transgender Face Claims book for some trans original characters!

You know who also exists? Disabled people! Deaf ocs, blind ocs, paralyzed ocs, etc, they exist! I've read two stories with disabled characters and one of them is my own story so like, yeah.

Equality means everyone guys.
