terrible cishet rambling, i am so sorry in advance
and maybe just normalizing these things *as* someone who is solidly cishet is going to be the greater social action.
like: yeah, some girls have to shave in the morning. yeah, some girls have to remove facial hair. yeah, some girls have acne that comes from too much testosterone on the skin. it's just a thing, no big deal.

like, despite being cishet, i'm rather bad at many aspects of girl-ing so to speak, and i feel like maybe talking frankly about what i've learned - and being excited to share with people what i've learned - is something that's going to be an experience more people will resonate with. like i may be cishet, but i can still offer tips to trans femmes about, say, facial hair removal, from what i've learned as i experienced it.

so i've been trying to think about what i can do outside of that label to still be - again. i'm so sorry everyone. - a decent ally.
i think i might actually be able to have a better effect if i just own up to being solidly cishet and keep on keepin' on, as it were. i feel like perhaps i can make more of a difference in some ways there.

to equate my "sometimes i get annoyed about having to shave" to the suffering of, well, actual intersex people, would just be insulting to them. people can certainly have it a lot worse than me, just with PCOS, or even have it lighter than me in symptoms and still feel like the label of intersex fits them!
but when i think of myself using it... idk, it feels scummy? it doesn't feel right and fitting.

they rather reasonably said that this was something where it is available to people to self-identify. so i've been mulling over that.
and to be honest, i don't think i really feel that pull. massive respect for those who do, but i'll be blunt, that mantle doesn't sit on my shoulders so well. it just feels like me, personally, reaching and trying to feed a line of bullshit to people to get into places i shouldn't be in.

so
again sorry about all these thoughts i'm about to jettison into the universe. but
so
i keep thinking about a rather interesting thing i read while looking up resources for someone awhile back - a tumblr about intersex advocacy. one of their posts was about how they - and thus the blog - did indeed consider PCOS to be a condition in the intersex header, if the person with PCOS thought it so.
and i was like: huh, interesting!
all the scandals aside, let's be honest. i'm not buying or installing #fallout76 until there are private servers, and specifically there is at least one private server for #mbmbam fans.
i'm not going down those country roads until i can be assured that there is somebody roleplaying Boycar, Protector and King of Chilladelphia https://i.pinimg.com/originals/36/ac/b9/36acb9debfb67057773e06279bb76213.gif
eye contact, me having a cold
and by instagram i mean snapchat
...
listen, i have a lot of nyquil on board,
ayy apparently the updates from the time when i wasn't playing have ended up doing some much-needed optimization to #conanexiles
i can run everything on medium + high draw distance, WITH chrome still up, instead of it pitching a fit about having to share my computer at all with everything on depressingly low
(but still anti-aliasing turned off) (simply bc you know how there's good anti-aliasing and there's bad? yeah i just don't like anti-aliasing in this game v much. too blurry.)
still somewhat haunted by the fact i may have splatted a five year old in #splatoon2 a couple days ago
seriously, someone tell me that it's the new done thing to put the year you got your system in your username, so i can believe [Personname]2014 was in fact not a very tiny kid
I'M SO SORRY, I THOUGHT THAT AIMLESS WANDERING WITHOUT INKING ANYTHING WAS AN EASY KILL AND DIDN'T NOTICE THE NAME UNTIL AFTER I KILLED YOU....
correction: it was two and a half hours later
forgive me if i'm thinking that "i just wanted support, you're making me feel bad" was actually code for "i'm mad you've offered a thorough rebuttal for my point"
antisemitism
listen, i realize there are many things to object to in the middle east, and that critique of israel should not be off the table, and so on,
however,
holy fuck if some folks could stop slapping a new paint on nazi talking points and declaring it woke, that would be real good
it's bad when even my goy ass notices it
