I Have Come Up With A Better Metaphor Than “you Can’t Pour From An Empty Cup” For Burnout. You

i love girls but they’re out of my league … like every single girl… all of them.. out of my league

How come your kid can be whoever they want when they grow up, but when I try it it’s “identity theft” and “illegal”

Director: How should we show the newfound power and confidence these girls have? The sheer empowerment they feel?

Intern: Have them walk confidently and react to situations without being self conscious because they feel comfortable with who they are and know they don’t need to change themselves because they’re already perfect just the way they are.

Director: *blank stare*

Intern: Change everything about them and make them look like sluts?

Director: Brilliant! Make it happen!

I’m headed to the graveyard to go reanimate myself a girlfriend, anyone want me to pick up anything while I’m out?

“And you?”

“I was tying someone up on the subway”

I was thinking about how vampires need permission to enter a home and then immediately thought: Damn, vampires would make really bad house burglars.

Just a quick reminder PSA for cis people: it’s not okay to ask trans people super invasive questions, and it is especially not okay to ask those super invasive questions in public.

To be clear, I am not telling you it’s wrong or bad to be curious and to want more information about some of the more intimate details related to transitioning.

What I am telling you is that you need to remember this is not an abstract concept to the trans person you are questioning. When you walk up and ask me what kind of surgeries I want, you are not asking about the abstract concept of gender affirmation surgeries. What you are asking is incredibly invasive questions about my genitals, and that is wildly uncomfortable and also unbelievably rude.

We live in the wonderful age of technology where you have access to an unimaginable amount of information at your fingertips! If you want to know something, google it! I guarantee there are resources online that will answer whatever questions you have.

And, I cannot say this loud enough, it is also never okay to ask any of these kinds of questions in public!!! Even if your trans friend has said they are open to answering your more invasive questions, when you are in public, talking about these topics can be dangerous and even deadly for the trans person.

Your curiosity is not worth more than our safety.

“Annie are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?”

“No, I need help with question seven.”
