When I came out as trans, I was asked "How long have you known?"

I expected the question, because the popular narrative in media is "I've always known since I was little", but that's honestly an uncommon experience for many of us.

I would reply "A couple of months, and all my life."

It was like navigating a dark corridor filled with obstacles, then finding a flashlight to see the path I'd taken. So much resolved and suddenly made sense when I finally had context for it.

I don't feel like working. Like, ever again.

I've had quite enough of cis white men who think I need to hear their most banal, pedantic thoughts about how I'm the real problem.

I'm not interested in what you have to say. Your opinions are meaningless to me.

@SecularJeffrey did you see the 2016 Dirk Gently series? Surreal fun!

In Britain, it's called a lift, but Americans call it an elevator. I guess we were just raised differently.

Imagine having to be Barbie's sidekick? Either she's a steadfast best friend, or she's seeing Ken on the side.

My partner called me “the sexiest thing on two legs,” and I became concerned for our pets.

Today I want to share something cute with you🥰

Is it just me or is there some irony or sick humor for the placement of a fire extinguisher next to a statue of Joan of Arc? Just shaking my head here #Histodons #JoanofArc #Geneadons

Welp, just moved from social.snorklr to here, what's going on? So for a little introduction, I'm an old retired software engineer, now part time book seller full time cook and cat caretaker, captivated by anything furry feathered, green or breathing. I still have hopes for this wicked world because the good and sane silent majority are getting a little pissed off and tired of the bull shite. Happy to be here and no longer on the old bird app! 😎 👍

I'm against feminism because of what Jesus said, but I don't know precisely what Jesus said because my husband doesn't like me reading.
