Astrology doesn't explain shit. It's a bunch of made up nonsense.
it does still make me insane specifically how many queer people lovingly embrace astrology. I went to a poetry workshop yesterday that was genuinely quite good but also included an option to disclose astrology designations during introductions and so many people broke out some variation of "I'm a [x] sum but I have a [y] placement and it SHOWS" girl no it doesn't. that's meaningless correlation you completely invented the causation
#Yeah the human brain at least exists and effects each person#And so many queers do love themselves some biological determinism#But couched in ~progressive~ language#So many especially gen z internalize their parents' bigotry and never really work to undo it#They just slap some nice and smart sounding language on top#But if you scratch the surface it's the same old bigotry#We don't call gay men fairies and women anymore. Oh no that's bad! We call them bottoms and pillow princesses instead#In a derogatory way#And since we've reclaimed slurs we just call every stranger that#Even when they tell us they don't want it#But it's okay because we're the good ones#And also we'll tell every even slightly feminine man to just transition already and use she/her pronouns for him#Whether he wants it or not#Because if he's effeminate he must secretly be a woman you see!#So it's fine! We're the good ones and trans people can't ever be bigoted you know!#And I'm not saying it's just Gen Z at all#But they're definitely the loudest and most aggressive#Thanks to shit like TikTok I guess#Anyway rant over
