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
