I wanna hold this up to all those ass hats that get upset at stuff that dosent even affect them!!
When I adopted this mentality a year or so ago I felt so... free! I felt way more creative and happy!
People always say the world would be a boring place if we were all the same but I've seen the same people who say this, put down neo pronouns or plurality or any identity that doset fit neatly in a box.
I know it's a cliche and has been turned into a derogatory term, but I truly believe we are all like snowflakes. We're all made from the same stardust just shaped differently.
No human being is the exact same! And isn't that SO FREAKING COOL!!!!!
We, all of us, sentient meat bags are each so unique in our existence that most can't even comprehend each other!
It also costs NOTHING to be nice. To do as OP said and just say, "Cool." COSTS U NOTHING!!!!!!
Plus it feels good to be nice. And not just nice but curious.
I want people to stop insinuating that asking someone about their identity is a taboo thing or offensive in some way. NO!
As long as ur are respectful and genuine in ur curiosity and want to expand ur understanding then don't feel like ur gonna offend anyone
I know people are scared or prefer not to ask in public which is commendable because we all live in a shithole society. But the number of times in private I've had to repeatedly reassure my cis het friends that it's okay to ask, it's alot.
IT IS OKAY TO BE CURIOUS!
It is not okay to be an asshole or faint interest only to make fun of people behind their back! And if u don't get it and don't want to get it. That is also cool. Just leave people to themselves if they're trying to be comfortable in their own skin.
Can't express how stress free being open minded is.
Some lesbians use he/him? Oh cool.
Some people have people inside their head and sometimes it's fictional chars? Sick your brains like a pirate ship they're all working to run.
Some people like being treated like a pet dog? Bark bark bro.
Being fat isn't unhealthy but a perfectly normal type of body to have? Kinda beautiful how different we can all be.
Something doesn't make any fucking sense? Cool an opportunity to learn. And even if I can't figure it out it's cool we still have mysteries today.
I promise this is probably as political as my blog is gonna get.
I recommend reading it all the way through.
Okay so incase anyone is not aware, I'm being let go from the military. I was told this past week. Ive been sitting with it and i wanted to share my thoughts.
No misconduct, no insubordination, no defying orders. I am being separated because I am trans. No, I'm not simplifying it down. It's because I'm trans, full stop.
I thought when I joined, I'd be protecting the country to which I call home. But it seems that country has betrayed me. This also doesn't just affect me. My freinds and coworkers are being forced out of their jobs. And all this isn't even a quarter. The orange shitbag in charge has been done.
He and his moronic VP had the audacity to insult the Ukrainian president to his face. The pure idiocy of letting an arrogant nazi meddle with capital funds. The bs of cutting off aid to vulnerable countries who have already been suffering for years. Aiding and abetting the invaders of those said countries. I mean this truly fuck this country.
And this all isn't only gonna affect our foreign allies and the "woke" but also the people who voted for the Toupee Tyrant. We are already seeing it with the loss of Medicare and medicaid. Trump voters in red states can't afford their medice or they're having to pay an arm and a leg for it.
The new S.A.V.E. act basically states that if you try to vote but ur current last name doesn't match the one on your birth certificate, you can't vote. Who will this mostly affect? Conservatives who believe the woman in a hetero marriage should take the man's last name.
Oh, and you also won't be able to vote showing ur State id/drivers licence. u need ur birth certificate and/or your passport. And an interesting fact, a study shows that a majority of republicans/conservatives don't have passports. And passports cost a decent amount. So have fun trying ngl to reflect him if u misplaced ur birth certificate.
Oh, and though it is to a far lesser extent, college students who voted for him. Their student financial aid is being cut if it isn't already.
What they, and by they I mean Donald Trump, VP Vance, Elon Musk(for some fuckin reason) and all the other rich 1% oligarchs, are doing is keep the masses uneducated, un medicated, and rivalled against each other.
I do not say all this to go, " HA HA, look at all those stupid republicans!"
NO!!!! I say this because we are each and every one of us in this together! We need to put our differences aside and look at what the people in power are really doing. Not what they say they are doing.
And this isn't even just a republicans call out. Democrats are to be blamed as well because they are just as much reactionaries as the republicans are.
The Dems in power care only for performative tolerance and only support the minorities living the "normal and morale" way.
Rich carrer politicians are the ones to blame! They are the enemy! They want us below them scrambling and fighting in the mud for scraps, so they walk on us and not even have to get their shoes dirty!
United, we stand against oppression! Divided, we fall!!!
