In a truck stop bathroom washing my hands today and 2 boys, looked about 5 and 9, came in with their little sister who looked maybe 2. The following whispered conversation made my entire day
"We have to wait, there's a lady in here!"
"That's not a lady, he has a mustache! We can be in here!"
"Some ladies have mustaches! And she has boobs!"
"Well some guys have boobs! Like Uncle Jake!"
"Uncle Jake is fat!"
At this point I could not contain a chuckle and both whirled around with identical looks of panic on their faces. I smiled and said "it's alright for you guys to be in here so your sister has help, don't worry. And I'm both! That's why I have boobs and a mustache. Some folks are just built that way"
(In unison) "Ooooooh!"
(older boy) "So do you use Sir or Ma'am or both?"
"Both, but I prefer Sir"
"Cool! Well thanks Sir! We have to help our sister now!"
This was in a small town country truck stop and both boys had "Murica" type stuff on and neither of them had any issue at all with these concepts. Their mom approached me while I was in line about 10 minutes later and apologized for them bothering me in the bathroom (they had told her about the interaction) and she and I had a lovely little chat too. I got to introduce her to the term "intersex" and her reply was "I think I've heard of that before! I didn't know that was the word for it. Amazing how many different ways God can make people!"
Sometimes the world is good. More often than you might think, if you give it a chance. It's not all bad loves <3
thinking back to when i used to be so loudly gay and trans with my pins and clothes and hair, my laugh and my loud jokes. thinking abt how it felt when people looked at me with discomfort from my comfort. thinking abt when someone would comment on my loud laugh and i would laugh louder. wish i was still unapologetic like that. i love being a lesbian and being some kind of gender(idk). i love my girlfriend and i love myself a little more than i used to
i hate being paranoid about nothing. dark corner? there is most definitely a human there, no doubt about it :) weird light that i cannot tell the source of? murderer :) or ghost :) no worries! i'll just wait until exhaustion overtakes me and i pass out! no :) will not happen :) stay awak :)
the Blacks are sooo cunty. like wdym ur a problematic filthy rich family with a black sheep and a mamas boy who are both gay. the tabloids would eat this up.
the noble and most cunty house of slutty waists
so me! (i am neither fully white nor fully a boy)
"Go, white boy, go!" I say to a fictional character, as if I am not also a white boy who is going
