TW: Homophobic language, homophobia, profanity
Text:
And suddenly, I feel very awake.
Alix: Dear Anonymous, while I'm eager to illustrate for you the difference between sexual orientation and gender identity, I think we had better start with a more fundamental concept:
Apostrophes.
What you meant was, "You're a fag." "Your," sans apostrophe, is possessive, as in "your devastating lack of creativity," while "you're" is a contraction not you + are, as in "you're a homophobic asshole." I hope this sheds some light on the misery that is your light.
Love,
Alix
