Oh no. That would be my kryptonite for sure. Let us just play different videogames in the same room. So romantic. Or platonic.

Honestly just goals and vibes

[Group text with people from college]

Reagan had many nicknames, apparently people called him "Dutch" when he was young.... Because his father said he looked like a "fat little Dutch boy"

I don't know enough about what Dutch people vs Danish people vs Belgian people look like as babies to know what that means. It seemed unusually specific.

Anyway. Wtf on that chat bot. And yes. We are ALL from the south originally as you can see by the phrasing.

Shout out to my ladies with pituitary gland/connective tissue disorders.

It's easy for the media to forget that you can be "non-standard" for reasons besides X and Y chromosomes.

Michael Phelps has the same disorder I have, marfin's syndrome. And everyone loved him until he smoked weed... Or something... I don't know.... that whole thing was weird.

Anyway. Most of us are not in professional sports because... That is just a really small part of the population.

But yeah, I mean... My hands are huge and I have the arms of a person who is five inches taller than me.

I can also stretch my long-ass fingers apart further than average which makes me extra good at musical instruments and such.

Don't let them erase how weird and wonderful it can be to just be different.

Fuck this discourse about chromosomes in general, but it definitely makes it harder for people with "giganticism"

(marfin's syndrome was still classified as giganticism when I was diagnosed)

Deformed and proud!

I can reach stuff on high shelves!

Mutants are cool!

If everyone was the same I would be so bored!

contrary to popular belief not everyone has an innate sense of internal gender or care to have one or seek a name for it, some people go their whole lives without questioning their occupation in one of two gender roles, but for some people, if pressed, they don’t feel that internal sense of ‘i am a woman’ or ‘i am a man’, and in that case i feel the switch over to transgender vs cisgender relies on active identification of a gender other than the one they were assigned. if someone’s like ‘idk dude I just work here’ then that’s valid

#i would describe my gender as not exactly ‘idk dude i just work here’ #more like…..when someone assumes you work somewhere that you don’t #but you know how to help them so you do it anyway #my gender is wearing a red shirt at a target

These are the best tags

A portion of people in the notes are like ‘but that makes you trans. That’s called being agender’ and another portion of people are going ‘this is how the majority of cis ppl feel and it’s NOT agender’ and personally I feel like both of them are missing the point here. Yes a lot of people identify as agender because of this feeling. Yes a lot of people with this same feeling still identify as cis. These are not mutually exclusive experiences and it doesn’t mean the agender people are secretly cis or the cis people are secretly agender. It just means they have very similar experiences of gender that they choose to conceptualize and label differently, and neither of them are mistaken or wrong to do so.

I reblogged this earlier and then my thoughts kept returning to it.

I have never felt comfortable as a human, much less as a gender. But I will say that I find the fight for recognition of varied gender identities relatable.

Oh! you don’t feel comfortable in the identity that society attacked you with?

—-So freaking relatable.

I never thought much about my gender identity before it was relatively mainstream to talk about it. I mostly felt like societal gender expectations were a burden to me. But that is how I feel about most societal expectations. And I never put it into those words before.

Anyway. I appreciate posts like this. Labels should be self affirming when they are used.

Thanks y'all.

Was it Kierkegaard or Dick Van Patton who said: if you label me you negate me?

do you think that early humans were just like,,, just SO stoaked about rain? beacuse i am

I'm not saying the movie would be better.... But it would be pretty funny to see Queen Dagmar in the Mario Brothers Movie instead of Peach

Ok, for one thing, Queen Dagmar is so good at backhanded compliments and social bullying.

The toads of the mushroom kingdom are really similar to the trogs.

Queen Dagmar would definitely have just married Bowser and stolen his stuff/arranged for his assassination.

Anyway. I just watched the Mario movie and I don't understand why that calculated merchandising opportunity was ever considered worse than all the other calculated merchandising opportunities?

Internet be crazy.
