Ms. Que Banh<p>In my past dating history, I've been fetishized for being Asian &amp; also for being disabled. I'm not an object, like some men treated me as. I chose to stay single for years after my last split because I deserve better, was patient &amp; had rebuilt a pretty content life by myself that I'm not willing to compromise for anyone who doesn't completely value my full worth. I won't negotiate on my own worth - I am a golden soul &amp; deserve an equal.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/AsianMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AsianMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PeopleWithDisabilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PeopleWithDisabilities</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/GenX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenX</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ExperiencedInsight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExperiencedInsight</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PersonalEmpowerment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PersonalEmpowerment</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TrueStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrueStory</span></a></p>
