You Know It's Bad When Your Friend Goes: "you Still Use Tumblr?"

you know it's bad when your friend goes: "you still use Tumblr?"

And your English teacher just takes a long look at you and sighs.

it's so fun to judge people on TV while eating junkfood and essentially wasting my life🙂

Barbie 2023

as a transguy, I watched the Barbiefilm with a great sense of both belonging and disconnect. It's an incredible movie about feminism, the way that men see the world and how women exist in an unfair world. It's a movie about the beauty of life and what it means to be human.

There is a line in the movie: “We mothers stand still so our daughters can look back to see how far they have come.”

Which for most people was a gutpunch. For me it was that too but after a small while, I realized that for me it applies differently. Because my mother also has that mindset. In her mind, she has three daughters. I have to live with the fact that she'll always see me as her daughter, not her son. Never a boy, who still knows and understands the struggles of being raised as a woman.

And that hurt.

Because while I know who I am, my mother thinks of me as an idea in her head that is never going to change, an idea that has disappointed her beyond measure.

I love having an undiagnosed disability. It's so fun. Having to explain to people that I use a cane without an apparent medical reason?

Hilarious.

Explaining why my hands sometimes shake?

Fantastic.

Reasoning my right to rest when I'm in incredible amounts of pain?

What a laugh.

i'm so sorry for the person I become during the esc
