we are all human.

changed my gender,i go by my alias as my name irl (short for mantharniia),i lived away from home for 4 years,got an undergraduate and masters degree,made new friends and lost some others,got with the love of my life (3 years strong) & so much else to list! here’s to my page revival and if we used to be moots on here or @manthastop let’s reconnect!!☘️

i am gonna sound so uneducated but i don’t know what that is and i am sorry,i should watch it now to make that connection :P

why thank you ;) decided to make a pun out of my sexuality as this is a rant page and I’m bi (probably not original but it’s kinda humorous)

this song came out very recently and is truly a beautiful piece of music. The song was inspired by the 1990 documentary "Paris is burning" which focuses on the lives of transgender,latino,gay and black communities who inhabited the city at the time. this song is a pride anthem that delivers the message of being proud of who you are despite the negativity and judgement and hostility that you may face. It’s a song of comfort that tells people who are in the lgbtq+ community as well as other people who are unique that it will all be alright as they are loved and appreciated...truly beautiful.

This is a question that has been at the back of my mind for quite some time now. Though we may live in a heteronormative world,other sexualities exist so this assumption that they like each other/are dating a friend of the opposite gender to them is rather ridiculous. We don’t have this assumption for same sex couples as they’re seen as "just friends" so it baffles me why only this type of friendship has this assumption as people of any gender identity can be a couple,not just opposite genders being together. In my personal experience,I’ve been given assumptions about my guy friend (who I’ll call Ry out of respect for his privacy) and how he supposedly likes me for wanting to have a catch up by having some coffee with him alone. I have known him for eight years and he definitely didn’t ask me for that reason,he clearly just wanted to catch up as I hadn’t seen him for two years at this point but according to his mother it meant he did? I’d be able to tell if he did like me as we’re very close and tell each other a lot of things so I don’t get why there was a conclusion jump at all..It’s just frustrating and made me question if I said or did anything that supported this theory,all I got in return was that he just asked how I was doing as we don’t see each other much which is NOT a sign of liking someone,it just shows he misses his friend. I do wonder if this stereotype will ever disappear or if it will be applied to the other forms of friendships and we’ll be accused of dating everyone we hang out with,if that happens then the world will have officially bullshitted enough stereotypes for dumbass people to torment others with and potentially ruin their day,which we absolutely love to happen!1!1!

With love island back on air for yet another season,I thought writing this post would be rather suiting. I have come to notice that on shows such as these there is a lack of representation for body types,gender identities and sexualities and when tv is asked about it there always appears to be the argument that they would be "less pleasing" if people of a larger body type,different race,different gender identity or sexuality being on the show. It’s just some twisted fantasy which only represents mainly whites people who have had surgery or worked out (basically unrealistic body ideals) which can cause pressure to some viewers and even make them insecure. As well as this,there is a reasoning for them looking a certain way due to the fact that sex sells so by having only "attractive"people will engage people to watch it more and it’s gross. If only there were more diverse dating shows, I am aware there is one in the UK called th BiLife but that’s the only diverse show I’ve seen showing LGBT+,people of colour and people with more curvaceous bodies. We live in a country where being different is supposedly respected highly yet there’s no other diverse shows on mainstream tv that support this and it’s upsetting to know,but at the end of the day they’re made that way due to societal norms which shouldn’t be the only things represented.
