    I like this image :)

    (What follows is a rambly half-vent tirade about my own gender)

    For me a lot of my thinking ends up in “yeah I’m definitely a girl uggh that’s gonna be so annoying”. It’s not a choice and it’s a thing that requires immense amounts of effort… but everyone says it’s worth it, so I gotta drag myself along to avoid regretting it later (and it has been worth it, too). Meanwhile I’d already internalized that gender is bullshit, so I was theoretically fine with being a guy but apparently not in practice. Everything would be easier if I were a guy (or more generally cis, but it’s p hard to be a cis girl for me by now lol), but I’m not and so… incredible amounts of time energy and money it is!

    Anyway the point is: I like this image, because it just… cuts through all of that. No qualifications on it, just. Yay!

      It’s such a pain to just want something and not having any control over it. I tried to be nonbinary at first because it was more in line with how I viewed gender as meaningless and silly, but I just wasn’t happy as an enby. I really am a girl, not because it’s logical or easy, but because it just is. Might as well have fun :3
