everyone who reblogs that “crayola has a genderfluid makeup line” post is giving me an aneurysm because the makeup itself looks cool and all but literally all makeup is gender-neutral; this is just a marketing gimmick to get ally points and capitalize off of the trans, nonbinary and gender nonconforming communities who are always desperately looking for language friendly to them- which isn’t inherently a bad thing, but seeking out and relying on allyship in corporations will always turn sour because corporations care about one thing: profit. not gay people, not trans people, but the money they can give to them if they cater to them.
what you said was very sweet and means a lot to me but i am incapable of properly responding in any way besides “thank you so much aaaah” because i do not know how to accurately express the exact level of my gratitude to where you completely understand how much what you said meant to me without me getting even more emotional and looking like a fucking nerd: an autobiography

hey shout out to trans kids who came out and still feel invisible. to kids whose parents aren’t particularly unaccepting, but almost never refer to you by name anymore. to kids whose parents will gesture at them instead of using their pronouns. to kids who got ignored and waved off. to kids who had to come out again and again. to kids who struggle because its not the worst it could be, but it hurts.
today my anthro professor said something kindof really beautiful:
“you all have a little bit of ‘I want to save the world’ in you, that’s why you’re here, in college. I want you to know that it’s okay if you only save one person, and it’s okay if that person is you”
I feel the mountains burn inside
