Spending my night in bed with my kindle.

Reading keeps me sane and away from people.

okay so I'm trans and as a result a lot of people try to argue with me about who I am. I understand this can be overwhelming for many people who just cracked their egg so this post is a basic guide on things people say.

I"'M AN ATTACK HELLICOPTERRRR". sometimes people say this out of ignorance of how being trans works. some people say this cause they know how annoying it is but still don't know why. either way, the best way to handle this (IMO) is to put them on the spot and ask so many questions that even they stop laughing.

"WHAT'S IN YOUR PANTS" why ya wanna look huh? if you wanna tell me something there are other ways yk. after you say those 2 magic sentences, they get quite scared. FEAR IS GOOD. FEED OFF OF THEIR FEAR.

if they bring up trump or state just talk about each individual's criminal record. normally they shut up

if it gets into religion, all religions have some version of love thy neighbor that you can use. please be aware that the bible's verses have been manipulated in the past for homophobia and transphobia, most notable in the 1920s

this book is gay does get into depth with this stuff. if you want to make a long term impact, I would recommend getting into social psychology and learning about biases and mere exposure (the topic of another post lol)

Some nights all you can do to stay sane is go for a midnight drive with your roommate and choose a spontaneous ihop detour.
