pride, personal discomfort
@fineursine the discourse is tiring but honestly I’m just sick of seeing the merch and how much of a personal promo opportunity it is for some people (it’s fair for them to use it that way, I just don’t want to be bombarded with it). I also just like, I’m never going to feel like having a tshirt with a tiger in bi pride colors or whatever makes me feel ‘valid’. Too many people always trip over themselves to invalidate it or make assumptions about me.
