thinking about how non-binary-ness is so unacceptable that the world is always trying to push us back into the binary. Even if we can't or won't or don't want to 'pass'... idk im just pissed that I have to perform any gender to be acceptable.
I am vaxxed and boosted and this shit is terrifying. Really just felt like a flu-y headcold for 2 days, but as of last night my chest and ribs feel like they have ICYHOT all over them... its fucked up.
rigid beauty standards hurt everyone. even people who fit into conventional beauty standards seem incredibly stressed and pressured to uphold them. there are no winners.
well, other than the industries that profit off of your self-hatred.
Assata Shakur said it best “People get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is the normal state of things. But to become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave.”
