@cinnamon oh! "you're breathing manually now" or "you're chewing manually now" are pretty common things people say on the internet

basically just things that the reader might be doing subconsciously that suddenly stop being subconscious when attention is drawn to them

this is saying that, except switching out "breathing" with being queer, which was a silly enough thought to just kinda post

@thingywott oh, i get that much!

what i don't get, is how i could ever possibly need to think about being queer

it just comes too naturally~

@cinnamon hee, yep! a large part of it is that it's not something you need to think about to be

kinda like how you don't need to think about breathing, which is why it's so weird that someone saying something like this can change that for some things
