I hate Terra. Wanna go home to Mars, where the boy cats love glitter and the girl cats have the biggest cocks. ;_;

Oh FFS, now the Reddit crowd is up in arms over New Zealand changing its "Linemen" signs to read "Line Crew." They're trying to argue that the change is *factually* incorrect because... well, because they don't understand what a "linguistic convention" is, but also because they insist that the suffix "-man" is a totally gender neutral abbreviation for "human." Any contrary opinion is just soyboy liberal revisionist nonsense.

I also had a lot of fun pointing out to these people, "so, what you're saying is, gender isn't necessarily tied to genetics, right? Because otherwise, all that it would take to be masculine is having a Y chromosome."

I anticipate exactly zero head explosions from this observation. They have people like Jordan "Lobster" Peterson, who make their living by taking people's house of gender cards and applying krazy glue-- with extra krazy.

But it's still fun.

Just yesterday, I probably would have let them leave me feeling self-hatey and outnumbered. But today... I'm just hopping mad.

I threw a little shade around, because I'm me... and then I went through the last seven pages of Parallax and cackled madly at our androgynous little fairy-shroom protagonists. Some people are going to absolutely hate this comic, because our innocent little bois will pose a genuine threat to their world.

*steeples fingers* Good.

Had an ad from Bonobos' #evolvethedefinition campaign come up at random on Youtube. It was a series of short testimonies from men about how the definition of "masculinity" failed to describe them. Loved it, checked the comments, was saddened but not astonished to find out they had been ransacked by the "Did You Just Assume My Gender LOL" crowd, ranting about soyboys and Cultural Marxist subversion.

for the three people who get this...

i'm so sorry

I REALLY WANT this to become a thing. I want to live in at least one structure designed on this principle during my lifetime.

Rarely has a condemnation of the right spoken so loudly and clearly for itself.

And you know, since I've already gotten a decent share of my work done for this morning, I am gonna enjoy this newfound sense of emotional unencumbrance and go for a completely random walk in the sun.

And I'm going to make a point of smiling at at least one stranger, because I CAN again.

It felt like nothing positive was happening. I was being told over and over again I just needed to be patient and accept the others involved in this had much longer reset times. But nothing was happening, and it was starting to feel like I was being asked to wait, without feedback, for eternity.

I finally got up the nerve to ask some direct questions, and got the evidence I needed that good things could still happen someday. Frankly... that's all I needed

I'd also been feeling a little lonely again, and projecting my personal guilt over the blow-up with these two onto my interactions with EVERYONE.

Rationally, the evidence pointed to "schmuck, people still like you fine -- you're just reclusive and overly used to having friends come to YOU, because you just moved out of a social nexus." But I couldn't be rational. There had just been too much collateral damage to my sense of who and what I am. :|

And it's been especially difficult because I REALLY DO NOT WANT to have bad feelings towards these people. They were my sisters, and still are. I still love them.

But you know how healing goes after something like this. In the absence of hard information, you tell yourself whatever you need to in order to cope. I found myself starting to think some real unflattering stuff, about myself and them, and it was... not who I wanted to be.
