#queer complaints

[skeleton-or-die]

Looking for pronouns pins and getting very frustrated with the lack of they/it options. There's actually just. None.

Barely any it/it's pins, and even fewer he/it & she/it options. Even more inclusive shops that have he/she, he/she/they, xe/xem, ze/zir, & fae/faer as options dont have 'it' as a pronoun option anywhere in their shops.

So I watched Bridgerton Series 3 this week.

Why in the world can’t Shonda Rhimes handle queers and queer relationships?

I mean she sprinkles us in. But somehow it all always feels like “and now I shall add a queer” when all the while there is subtextual queer chemistry among so many other officially straight characters.

Just you know, asking…

Tbh its very telling that more queer people, including my close friends, slip up on my pronouns now then they did when i was younger.

My facial features have actually gotten more 'masculine' and i wear makeup significantly less often, but i have long hair now and have gained weight. I dress pretty much the same. I wear mens tshirts and turtle necks exclusively.

when you tell the person you’ve been seeing about something that happened the day before, and how you were like overcome with emotion and crying on your way home.

  and then they get quiet, and say, “sorry you had a rough day yesterday.  why didn’t you tell me?” 

and you’re like “well, i didn’t tell you because i know you don’t like it when other people have feelings.”  (because, they are one of those Queers that is the only one that is allowed to have feelings.) 

and they’re like “it’s not that i don’t like it when other people have feelings.  it’s that i don’t know what to do with other people when they have feelings because i’m so bad at dealing with my feelings. so i’m just like ‘oh, you’re having feelings.’” 

but like, even though they’re bad at expressing their feelings, at least they’re allowed to do it, right?

like, for them, it gets to be an accomplishment when they express their feelings.

i just get to pretend everything is okay all the time and tell them that they’re great and validate them and give them all of the emotional support, and pretend that i never need it.

so like, that’s frustrating sometimes even though i know it shouldn’t.

I really wish my family wasn’t so uncomfortable with who I date like it’s really shitty how I can’t just have someone I’m in a romantic relationship over for family events at ALL when my family goes out of their way to invite some relative with a heteronormative relationship to things, even if they aren’t even dating officially.

Barf It’s like I even bring them around and there’s a huge elephant in the room where no one but my dad can make a slightly normal conversation lmfao
