"Not dating or having sex isn't even a source of discrimination in real life-" How many rights and benefits are tied up in marriage contracts though? How much of our economic and societal structure is built with the clear expectation that people couple up and support each other? Where's the security nets and affordable options for people who will never have a partner/spouse to take care of them? How many people save serious commitment only for people they have a romantic and sexual relationship with? How many people will unquestionably prioritize their sexual and romantic relationship above all other social connections in their lives? And where does that leave the people who don't want that at all, ever?

off topic maybe but the reason human trafficking conspiracy theories are so far removed from reality is actual human trafficking operates in a way that is more socially acceptable than most want to acknowledge. there is an overlap of "human trafficking victim" and "adult or child whose wellbeing is more likely to be disregarded by law enforcement and peers alike"

Being a calm, gentle, non-reactive person is really hard work, which is probably why many people are none of these things. Personally I think it’s worth it but sometimes one does want to just roll around on the floor wailing at the top of one’s lungs

People in my notes who think I’m repressed or dissociating: you will feel better when you learn emotions are not a binary of Not Feeling It vs Being Overwhelmed By It

Ok but How Do I Do That

everyday i mourn that my parents did not make me study five languages during my critical window of language acquisition (2 to 7 years)

Still a hopeless romantic after all this time. Very insane of me.
