    Why are Wal-Mart shopping bags dark grey? It makes it seem like they're recycled, or dirty garbage bags. Maybe they are! Wouldn't put it past them.

    Apparently there's a trans guy who looks just like attending the same college I'm going to in the fall. So...I have a clone or a twin. I'm smelling the Parent Trap :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I actually do have an entire side of my family in town that I don't even know (shitty biological father and all). My brother legit met a cousin of ours completely by accident one time. They were in the same class.

    At a Verizon wireless with someone who doesn't know I'm gay. Everyone still try changing me.

    I am kinda ok right now. Just gotta gain trust.

    Peace.

    Ah yes Walmart. I'd love to wait in line for 30 minutes behind a pajama clad person who lacks deodorant and a bra. It's so nice of you to have 2 whole registers open.

    This woman at the drive thru earlier...

    "$5.93, and for the record, that's you giving me the money not the other way around. Why's your eyes red? You got the pinkeye or you just drinking or not giving me some? Or maybe you just need some sleep. I know, you got what, 10 kids to support? 20? 30?"

    "No."

    What, don't tell me you don't got any babies.

    "I'm 21 years old."

    All right fine, be that way. Have a nice day.

    Hopefully they'll lay off once they realize there is no changing you. Be firm. What's been known to you for years is still brand new to them.

    I hate having to use 'he' and 'she' in formal writing, I'd rather just use they.

    F*** laws requiring bikers to be on roads (completely untenable requirement that only results in bikers getting injured or aggressively heckled).

    F*** pedestrians that push bikers into edges between crosswalk and grass, vastly increasing the potential of the biker to wreck and injure themselves.

    Why couldn't you? I try to use gender neutral pronouns when I write a lot of my pieces. Like if I write for parenting blogs, I say "your child might be doing stuff, blah blah blah. They might..."

    I tried using neutral pronouns on one of my first essays, the marker commented on it and basically said in formal writing you should use he/she. :dry:
    I still try and refrain from using it when I can by substituting he/she for child or individual.

    Nothing says fun more like getting misgendered in public without even talking. I swear, I need to get hit in the face with some intense changes or I'm gonna snap. I hope my endo can send me some bloodwork papers so I can get my labs checked out soon. I'm really not in the mood to get told my T levels are low, because this is ridiculous.
