your midwestern uncle

Sorry kids you're only allowed to follow if you're old enough to understand my username

At the annual Houston RenFest we’d always get one or two furries that walk around and every time the general reaction from the medieval roleplayers is akin to  “BEASTS? BEASTS THAT WALK LIKE MAN? FOUL!” 

#I feel like this has implications#specifically with the US and the bald eagle#And how we hide it's call from the world and replace it with something that's more impressive#Even though it's not real#But it's also midnight so I can't work out the details (Via @hugintheraven)

Thus is the defining characteristic of gay millennials: we straddle the pre-Glee and post-Glee worlds. We went to high school when faggot wasn't even considered an F-word, when being a lesbian meant boys just didn't want you, when being nonbinary wasn't even a remote option. We grew up without queer characters in our cartoons or Nickelodeon or Disney or TGIF sitcoms. We were raised in homophobia, came of age as the world changed around us, and are raising children in an age where it's never been easier to be same-sex parents. We're both lucky and jealous. As the state of gay evolved culturally and politically, we were old enough to see it and process it and not take it for granted--old enough to know what the world was like without it. Despite the success of Drag Race, the existence of lesbian Christmas rom-coms, and openly transgender Oscar nominees, we haven't moved on from the trauma of growing up in a culture that hates us. We don't move on from trauma, really. We can't really leave it in the past. It becomes a part of us, and we move forward with it.

Don't answer if this is overstepping or you just don't wanna talk about it, but coul you please explain what you said in that one post about the midwife? Like you'd prefer all your gyno stuff to be done by a midwife. I'm just really curious about what you meant. Like what are the differences benefits etc. Again only answer if you're comfortable. Thanks.
