"I guess the Carny ain't gonna show"

it does kinda bum me out when I'm positive but honest about something and say "oh I would have been obsessed with this a few years back/when I was in middle school" or something like that, and I get a well-meaning response back like "I sure do hope you're obsessed with it now as you were back then!" because man I wish, but that's not gonna happen, unfortunately </3 (I won't be saying that to them though, obviously) might mostly be an ADHD thing but also uhhhh I'm on sedatives and I think that doesn't really help with my dopamine levels 😭

you can't convince me that trans men presenting feminine is a real issue when the fashion industry standards for men is ugly as shit, just look at the boots- you can't pay me to wear those

one of the main things about intersex is: it's way more common than people initially believe because there's so many variations and it becomes clear that it's not just "both traits/ambiguous" when you put more research into it, like finding out about DSD and even just getting curious enough to look at the definition of perisex/endosex yes, even people who have abnormal traits that fall under one sex categorization are intersex! this is also a good reason to push for more intersex focus in things like sex ed! intersex kids deserve to know about their bodies, and just the perisex standard limits them enough that there's adults who never realized even with external traits and often assume their peers are the same and that it's just something that's not talked about (current discussion going around: people with two vaginal openings and often two uterus)

white man referencing MLK's speech to apply "power in the wrong hands" for work ethics and this blonde white woman had the audacity to say some "it's like a chief with a bunch of little indians running around getting nothing done" shit in her analogy about employer abuse of power
