shameless

lowkey my childhood home was a saw trap

we are never going to be free until it literally doesnt matter whether a person is ugly or not

honestly even realer

"all you ever do is complain" that's not true. I also resent.

my body knows something that i don’t and i can’t get her to talk to me

isolating will fix me this time

⚠ SANITY CRITICAL

so like. what do people who can't afford this do. are we just supposed to? die or something??

dystopia au where we are all assigned one of two chosen genders at birth

Thanks to ultrasounds, the genders can be assigned before birth.  The people are so excited to conform they throw “Gender reveal parties” to make sure their offspring exist in a strict binary since before they can even form thoughts. 

Children are color-coded according to their binary assignment. 

One of the genders is seen as inherently inferior.

This all sounds really effing creepy when you put it that way

#BECAUSE IT IS

And if you deviate from the assigned gender you can be disowned by your family, fired from your job, and beaten by authorities.

This is like one of those YA dystopian novels where you’re born as one of the bads or one of the goods

It's nuts how common it is to not allow children to be angry, even (especially) in households where adults are angry all the time. As a child I knew my own anger was unacceptable--not just expressing it outwardly but feeling it at all. So now as an adult my immediate reaction to my own anger is often to feel guilt instead of like. Noticing when someone is being rude or unfair or my boundaries are being violated or whatever. fucked up.
