fun tip for cis people: instead of saying “back when she was a he” or “back before [birthname] became [preferred name]”, try not being a pile of shit by saying something like “before she came out” or “before she began her transition”!
Pls friends and thanks.
“before she came out” is so easy and preserves so much dignity, PLEASE
I’ve been wondering the best way to say this. Thank you.
also if their transition is irrelevant to the story, don’t bring it up! just say “when X was a kid/ younger/ in college/ etc” and carry on using their current name and pronouns.
That last point is very important! DO NOT OUT ANYONE! Do not bring up their trans status or transition unnecessarily! And you trying to look more interesting/cool/whatever by having a trans friend does not count as “neccessary”!!
he has the personality of someone who took the buzzfeed bick dick energy test and got “ameboid sized dick energy” and cares WAY too much so hes constantly trying to convince everyone the test was wrong
You know, in retrospect, having gay marriage as a debate topic when I was the only openly gay kid in class was SUPER WEIRD. Imagine if you walked into AP Gov and your teacher pointed at you like, “I don’t think Brian should have health insurance because he sucks. Discuss?”
I can’t even fathom what I would do if I had to write an essay about how I should be able to take a piss in peace.
we need to start writing letters again mainly because when i die i need someone to find my gay love letters and publish them and for historians to debate for a century to come about whether or not they were romantic or platonic.
historian 1, going through my tinder messages: these could have been between friends.
historian 2: she had her profile set to “women only”
historian 1: friend networking
me, a ghost, not minding the misinterpretation bc I love attention: nice
