cyclone: walking into iceman's office with a report he spent all night on, hoping to receive a "good job, kid" and maybe even a proud pat on the shoulder from the man he deeply admires
iceman, distracted: didn't even notice him walk in
pete "the distraction" mitchell: wearing his tightest jeans, sitting on the edge of iceman's desk and swinging his little legs back and forth while he explains why he didn't do his
Story time that no one asked for: one time in History, I was sitting next to this kid and out of nowhere he says "gay people are so gross right?" And I say "Actually, I'm gay" his face when š³. It took everything I had not to burst out laughing.

me: called it! im so smart!
also me:
I want to boost everything this person has said and add on.
The reason I call myself a tomboy now, despite it being seen as a childish word and having had someone swear at me over it because ātHeReāS nO suCh thInG as BoY thInGs anD giRL thIngS sHut uPā is because I couldnāt call myself that or be like that when I was a kid. It was seen as a negative thing and I was already bullied enough. āLooking like a boyā was the worst thing that could happen to a girl.
And Iām not even 26 yet. We arenāt talking 30+ years ago, we are talking 2000s and even 2010s. Itās only since trans people have become more accepted in the past few years that gender nonconformity has too.
And the people who helped me accept my gender nonconformity more than anyone else? Were trans people. They taught me, āthereās nothing wrong with how you feel. Youāre still a valid woman no matter what you wear, how you have your hair or what youāre into ā¤ļøā
And donāt even get me started on how people treat gender nonconforming men. JK Rowling has a lot of nerve to be like āuwu boys can wear dresses and only us gendercrits accept that!ā when she has, even in recent works, made femininity in men a negative trait, as well as making masculinity in women a negative trait also.
A lot of people still donāt accept gnc people even now. Just last year I had someone tell me theyād never let their daughter ādress like a boyā, and Iām always terrified to walk into a bathroom in case the next JK Rowling is in there, sees my gender expression and pepper sprays me or worse.
āThereās no such thing as boy things and girl things.ā I donāt need to be told that and Iām sure 99% of trans people also donāt need to be told that. Tell that to the society that hates us both instead of actively encouraging that hate.
