How about “What pronouns may I use when referring to you?” - with this phrasing I am asking permission. It sounds more respectful, and I feel like this question gives more power for the person I’m asking to even back out of the conversation entirely if it’s not welcome. I feel good about this approach but, being cis…

Correction, an XY chromosome Skywalker thing. Leia just got shit don and stayed completely on the light side.

Yet General Leia lost her adoptive family, her entire planet, her son, her husband/partner, and temporarily her brother, and has never once been tempted by the dark side.

Black ops aliens shit is not in any way possibly ever shared with the president. Aside from Truman.

Oh you’re right! That post about kissing women on the eyes (after that amazing sculpture or rendering of erogenous zones). How does my brain hold this much Internet?

COME TO CANADA.

I’ve been using walnut since someone posted it on Jez, and I don’t remember if it was you. If it was, I could never thank you enough. I use it daily.

You want your The Worst award by airmail or Express Purolator?

Oh there are, because I am inexplicably a member of both. Welcome!

Your gender is not inherently fucked up! Avoid getting into that complicated hole because it isn’t true.

What seems to be true is that anyone given regular power over others cannot help but be corrupted by it and blind to it. Men typically being given power over others leads to fucked up, entitled behaviour that causes…

Blacker than midnight on a moonless night.

That’s kinda hot.

I’ll think of him in the White Lodge.

I’m so grateful you posted this because I’m about 6 years into undoing that very. same. conditioning. And I am so scared that it’s taking too long. I wonder if I’ll ever not sound broken to my healthy friends, simply in the way I assign and assume blame and guilt and fear in my every word.
