Rb To Make A Biological Essentialist Mad

Converting sadness into anger like some satanic (praise be) steam engine may not be a healthy coping mechanism, but idk, looks pretty good...

go to this random coordinates generator and say in the tags how you would fare if you were dropped where it generates without warning. i’ll go first i’d be dropped in the middle of the fucking south atlantic ocean and perish

Pronouns are legos, and I'm a caffeinated 12 year old.

pronouns don't mean gender and it should not be the base assumption that they do. send post

I'm locked out of my house

Yet again relating to a post so hard I have to re-evalute my whole ass gender.

> ok with hindsight this enby thing should've been fucking obvious

hey can you elaborate cause im also not sure what I am and it's been creeping into my mind occasionally lately (cause of awesome trans friends)

and you're cool so I also just wanna know

well firstly its the fact that the pronoun they feels good for me. i like being called they. also its that i like the idea of being androgynous, like my ideal body would be one where you couldn't tell whether i was a boy or girl. really for me it was what felt right. being a boy feels right, not being a boy also feels right

I went to see a musical for the first time in a year and a half, and London really does seem to have forgotten the existence of ol' Rona. It's kind of surreal to see an entire train car of people ignoring signs plastered all over the carriage and station.

Anyway, went to see Six, and it was much pog, can reccomend.

I should preface by saying that my mother isn't actively (nor passively) homophobic or transphobic (or in my case, biphobic) in any real way.

But there have been exceptions.

When I was around 14, I said to her I thought I was bi, and effectively got "it's probably just a phase, you're too young to decide that sort of thing". This was after I had already gotten quite frisky with another boy in my year, mind you, and as someone AMAB, this has to be queer in some sort of way. But at the time I wasn't sure why it bothered me as much as it did.

I have since, and in part thanks to the queers and allies on this platform, realised two reasons it bothers me.

One: Even if it is a phase or temporary, it does not invalidate whatever your sexuality is. You are allowed to change over time, and if that includes who you're attracted to, that's fine. I had long thought "maybe I was wrong", but I had never thought "maybe it doesn't matter". I have since had complete confirmation that she's changed her mind somewhat on this issue, as she herself has admitted she feels she's currently asexual, despite previously having been heterosexual.

Two, as OPs post describes: As much as she said "I'd be fine with it if you're gay", this was very much on the assumption that by default I was straight. When I was young, heterosexuality (such as my first girlfriend) was simply accepted as "the way things are", and anything else was merely a hypothetical, or assumed unlikely. It was rarely ever, by anyone, considered as real that I might be queer until I said I felt that way. And the first time I brought it up to an adult (never my peers, thankfully), it was just

"You're too young to decide"

And that's why it bothered me so long. It was a tiny thing really, but from the person I'd relied on most for my entire life, it hurt. I don't think she thought anything of it, nor do I believe she had any ill intent or secretly dislikes gay people, but I think that most people, and even some queers, do not take young people seriously, and still assume heterosexuality to be a default.

I imagine all these thoughts have almost certainly been iterated better than I have put it, and I recognise this is really a minor thing, and not some major instance of homophobia. I'm lucky to have been brought up in an area that didn't give me much trouble for being queer.

Sorry for the very long text post, it's just my two cents. Feel free to tell me if I'm wrong or you disagree about stuff, I don't usually talk about this type of thing.

I like how teens are too young to figure out their sexuality unless its heterosexual

From now on, all of my intrusive thoughts will be voiced by Waluigi.
