My favourite translator said that when she was an ambassador for Hungary she took all these Japanese politicians on a tour and she was trying to circumtranslate ‘merry go round’ cause she didn’t know the Japanese word for it by calling it a ‘horse tornado for children’ and they had no blessed idea what she was saying and she finally started running in circles going up and down and they go ‘ohhhhh, in Japan we call those ‘merry-go-rounds’“

being a lesbian has shaped who I am and I wouldn’t be the same if I wasn’t a lesbian. that’s why I hate when straight people say being a lesbian doesn’t define me. I get what they’re trying to say and while there is more to me than being a lesbian it really is a huge part of who I am and has impacted me so much. my personality would be different, my interactions with women and people in general would be so different, everything about who I am would be changed.

like!!! it’s just so sad how much ppl want to de-legitimise films abt wlwoc and criticise them for being fetishist / “pandering to the male gaze” / unrealistic / disingenuous (“i dont buy that they’re actually in love”) / cliche (“i just think the whole coming out to their religious/traditional ethnic family has been Done before”) / so corny they’re unwatchable (like we dont deserve cheesy rom coms?) while the SAme films starring white women with ZERO chemistry keep getting made over and over and over again to disproportionately high praise im fucking TIRED

when i was younger the way i felt about girls kissing was different. it made me uncomfortable, like i knew i shouldn’t hear my own heart skip. i remember watching boys kiss girls on tv and teaching myself “this is all i have”. i’m 24 and i still feel guilty when i think about how much i like girls. i hid it and hated it and i’m not even out to half of my friends. i couldn’t figure out why i felt certain things. i wrecked myself over it, made it hard for me to be in longterm relationships, made it hard to love without feeling like i’m doing the wrong thing.

but yesterday i was teaching a group of second graders.

“i think i want a girlfriend,” she said to me. when a boy squawked “a girlfriend!” the other kids stood up for her instantly. “it’s normal!” “it’s okay if some people want different things.” “yeah, not everybody needs to like boys.”

the boy shook his head and stared at me. “i don’t care it’s a girl” he said, with his hands in the air, “but we don’t even pay taxes, how is she thinking of getting married?”

“miss raquel,” she asked, “why does it look like you’re crying?”

I’m sorry I’ve been so weird lately. I just, I feel uncomfortable around you guys all of a sudden. I have a stomachache all the time. I don’t want to keep secrets.

I’ve had to kind of volunteer to play characters that I can relate to because I didn’t have any growing up. So the characters I’ve been playing and am playing now are characters that could’ve saved me when I was younger and questioning a lot of things. This representation is so important, this visibility is so important.
