Right. I go through this often with my own parents. I’ve been out for over 20 years, and even though they profess to be totally cool with their gay kid (now), they still both refer to my “lifestyle” way too often. It grates on me because it contains an implicit moral judgment. My parents freaked the freak out when I…

“PS all your problems and the bigotry you face are your own stupid fault, stupid.”

As a proud (not proud) child of Utah... I can decode this. It is double speak for “I have to sound Christian and kind, ‘hate the sin not the sinner’ and all that, but I can do that because we all know/agree this abomination is going to hell, and I’m winning this election”.

Internally, I live in a constant shit storm of being convinced I’m on the verge of being unmasked as a fraud, losing my job, becoming homeless, and…

Being a hermit is so underrated.

Thought it might be a little reassuring to see that!

I had no idea this was a thing. All of my idols are mentioned in that article. THANK YOU. I can go back to work Monday feeling like a fraud but in good company. Tina Fey? Emma Watson? Kate Winslet? I can do this.

Be not tormented, for you are in vast and excellent company.

This is super-common, yeah, but people don’t talk about it much. I used to think it was more of a female thing, because of the trouble women have being taken seriously even when we know damned well that we’re on solid ground in a given field, but some (secure enough to discuss it) boyfriends disabused me of that…

I don’t understand the question.

Shut up, Adrian Grenier.
