Too funny. I made a similar image back in August..

What’s the big deal? We’re disrupting things,
startkeep digging.
However, I don’t think literally anyone in the entire Western world thinks people in wheelchairs or with similar physical issues are “evil” nor associated with evil...
It’s definitely going for self-consciously retro ‘70s vibe, though I don’t think anyone would’ve published a book with a cover like that back then.
“We keep him in a lead-lined wine cellar”
It’s giving “we have Terry Gilliam at home”.
“He said there was a 5% chance he might be president someday,”
His twisted twin obssesions are his plot to rule the galaxy and his employee’s health. With free dental care and stock plan that helps you invest!
I’ve been the guy in that relationship situation. probably best they divorced.
People who drag unknowing others into the closet with them are a whirlwind of toxicity. It isn’t just the sheer mindfuck of your reality being turned on its head when that person comes out - it’s all of the mindfuckery that precedes it: the projection, the gaslighting, the lack of emotional presence, the general cloud…
Perfectly said. I know that feeling as well... and I was married to my ex-husband for 24 years. This article was infuriating and ridiculously selfish.
Every response to criticism of her opinions sidesteps the criticism and goes straight to “They’re bullying me!!!! No fair!!!
Wow, taking that linked article and this one together, the author does NOT come across well. I’m now happy for the ex-husband, having escaped a relationship with such a self-obsessed, self-righteous partner. Good luck to her future partners, because she’s likely to be equally shitty going forward.
I’ve mentioned it here before, but this seems like a prime moment to weigh in as a cishet woman whose spouse came out as gay after we’d been married for ten years.
From a few years back:
Yeah especially with the context that she seems relatively young so married him likely in a post-Ellen world. I feel like these days there’s a certain amount about yourself you should figure out before you get married and it’s really odd she’s blaming this guy without context
This struck me as... profoundly delusional and kind of the embodiment of the very worst parts of today’s queer culture. You fell in love with a man, married him, decided to write a book about pioneering women in sports who largely happened to be gay. All good! Love that.
What an odd piece with a lot of ambiguity. Without more info, it sounds like the author married a cishet man knowing they were queer, and presumably with him knowing they were queer, and then the author resented that arrangement for not letting them be “queer” enough despite fully knowing that’s not how queerness…
I began to be resentful of my husband, to feel suffocated.
