Stop the belief that misidentifying with a sexual/gender orientation is a “hurdle” or a “setback” in your journey of finding your true identity and instead realize that misidentification is a common consequence of living in a culture where being cis and straight is supposed to be a norm and access to any information and resources about the existence of non cis and straight identities is quite limited and restricted by one’s peers,institutions etc
Stop blaming and demonizing already marginalized communities for your misidentification when all they did was accept you and provide you a safe space to discuss your experiences and explore your identity.Its not their fault that you didnt feel like you belonged with them.
It’s not bi/pan people’s fault that you identified with their label because of your internalized homophobia
It’s not asexual people’s fault that you identified with their label because of your internalized homophobia
Its not trans/non binary/gender fluid/agender people’s fault that you identified with their label because of your internalized homophobia or your issues with the gender roles imposed on you
Its not lesbian/gay people’s fault that you identified with their label because of your internalized transphobia
There’s nothing wrong with misidentification. There’s nothing wrong with exploring your identity. Hold the cis heternormative society and institutions accountable for your misidentification instead of invalidating the existence of identities which give thousands of people to around the world comfort and solidarity just bc you had a bad experience with them.
sokka is very skeptical about spirit world stuff for a guy who’s dated the moon
Oh, there’s no jizz mopper on the holodeck. It’s all automatically collected by the ship’s computer (in a subsystem that is beyond the scope of this post) and then processed directly into the food replicators.
the wildest thing happened to me the other day i found out a male coworker is into irish music so i told him that my dad is an irish musician and would he like to come to a session and he straight up irl said to me “name 5 irish songs your dad knows”
he asked me if i play and i told him i played the fiddle when i was a teenager but havent played in years and he was like “oh cool. i play drums” as in a drum kit you know the famously folkish instrument the drum kit. bitch my name is molly o’reilly you really wanna challenge the legitimacy of my irish music involvement
So people make fun of the Kirk shirt rip in Shore Leave because it is so blatantly independent of the fight with Finnegan
See:
then:
But what most people fail to acknowledge is that the Shore Leave planet is there to suddenly create things you are thinking about, rather than obey the laws of reality.
Which means that Kirk was thinking about fighting Finnegan, so he appeared:
Which also means, in the middle of the fight, Kirk must have thought: “Man, it would be so cool if my shirt ripped off right now,” leading to the inevitable:
So since we’re fairly certain now exactly what Kirk thinks about during fights, we can continue to laugh at his shirt rip in Shore Leave, but make sure it’s for the right reasons: not so much continuity error, more actually being Exactly In Character.
