i'm genuinely not sure if this is internalized oppression or not, but my opinion rn is that everyone needs to change and grow at some point in life. i'm willing to work through this with them, if they change their mind after collecting their thoughts and feels, which for now is all they are asking for-- time, and space.

I definitely know i've been there before, needing time and space to react the way I want to in a situation I'm not prepared for at the moment it happens. So maybe things can work out, maybe not. right now it's just a waiting game, it seems to me.

So I'm just gonna give them space and then have a conversation about it in a few days/a week. We still have a functional communication with regards to the housing situation/logistical things, so I should be good for the next few weeks at least.

I love that over on Tumblr, July is being called something like "Pride 2: The One Without Rainbow Capitalism" while others have said that next summer Pride is cancelled, we're doing Wrath (because of rainbow capitalism, TERFs, the rise of anti-LGBTQ+ extremists, etc).

I learned recently that Marsha Johnson didn't actually throw the first brick at Stonewall - she only showed up once the rioting was well underway. Super weird that this story gets told and that so much is built out of it.

I agree with Ziq, honestly. It simply might not be worth it to work through a sea of assholes and bullies to reach the 1% of people worth defending. Especially if your life is on the line as it is with LGBT+ individuals.

I've never met anybody who uses pronouns other than he/she/they.

I feel good about 'they', thank fuck. Reading this post has made me think about how much harder other pronouns would be. Already I struggle with 'they'.

But I'm also realising that if I lived in a world where it wasn't so brutally hard just to have they pronouns I would likely have been a person who considered other ones. Really they're just unthinkable in my present world. Like so much trans exploration I would potentially like to do. And that's fucked.

I like how I got to think about something different with this question. Thanks.
