God this is... I just can’t with some people anymore seriously. Love yourself, it’ll be okay.
PLEASE REBLOG
I’m considering coming out to my family as non-binary, and so today I brought up the subject of non-binary gendering/transgendering with my Dad as a casual conversational topic. He’s told me that if somebody is born a boy then they “should stay a fucking boy” and not trans to a girl or be a boy some days/girl other days/genderless other days.
I told him that I think gender identity should be something one can choose for themselves, and he says that nobody thinks like that and anybody who is trans/non-binary will just be shunned by every member of society they meet. He doesn’t think that people support n-b/t communities, because he doesn’t. He says to me that not staying one’s natural gender is wrong and against the point of being born a boy/girl.
Every person who reblogs this will have their URL written in a full-size writing book and when it is full I will show it to my father to illustrate to him the amount of people who believe that being non-binary is a valid gender identity.
Writers be like: And then I actually had to write it, ya know? And it was so hard. I thought the scene would never work out.
And other writers be like: But it turned out good, right? I hope so. Writing can be so hard sometimes.
And then some more writers pitch in with: Wait, you actually write?
And normal people are sitting there like: If writing is so hard, why do you do it?
And writers be like: That’s not how it works. We don’t call the writing. The writing calls us. Sometimes it’s hell, but the writing demon summoned us to be the writers, and we cannot refuse the call.
But the writers are also like : I refuse the call every other day.
