Genuinely hate when people act like misgendering me is this big thing that I’ll have a mental breakdown over. (As an afab non binary person)
If it’s a mistake; Totally fine, understandable, try to do better. If they don’t know how to use them in a sentence I’ll give them a tip or examples.
Purposefully ignoring my pronouns and identity in an attempt to hurt me: You’re a dick, but I’ll move on.
On another note: I have genuinely had people say that if I piss them off that they’ll just get me back by purposefully misgendering me.
Am I supposed to find that funny? “Haha, that’s so funny that you’re threatening to try to invalidate my entire existence as a trans person if I mildly annoy you”? Yeah, that’ll work out well.
I really do not care if you misgender me as long as you are actively trying to get better, are apologizing, and as long as it isn’t purposeful. But I have no respect for people that use it as a cheap way to try and make me upset.
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

Our world is full of hate rn, and so I just want to post a little positivity.
You’re valid. You’re loved. You’re beautiful. You’re not alone.
You deserve so much more than this world, and I’m sorry this is the one you were given.
You’re enough.
TikTok comments that are actually funny.
i propose that instead of pride month, we have queer year (queer people are treated like actual people all year long)
