theres a lot of catharsis in calling myself and my lovers a fag.
Like, I never want to use it or hear it used in public situations, i think ill always feel icky when a stranger says it or if i say it around strangers, but theres a certain level of trust in using it around loved ones that can understand.
i graduated in 2012 and i was literally doing my own projects where id talk about people being gender neutral and my entire senior class was like “woahhh thats a thing??? crazy....” and i had totell them some peopleeven identified as the opposite gender, and all of that was news to ME even when i was researching it for my psych projects.
And hell, its ironic as fuck but without 4chan i never would have even learned as much as I did, and i learned all of it under the name “trap” and went from there.
its now 2022, a full fucking ten years later and i am in awe at how much progress had been made. i am so happy for the youth of today being able to decide who they want to be, and not being subject to the horrible brainwashing that made me think i HAD to behave like a man. the teachings that made me try and overcompensate for my lack of masculine feelings.
Do high school kids these days just have trans classmates now. Like I keep seeing zoomer posts casually referring to it. Fucking wild if true.
What with bucket hats, bare midriffs, and flared jeans having been resurrected by some irresponsible necromancer with frosted tips, I figure there’s no better time to resurrect some of my favorite Y2K fonts.
