i wish i knew more queer women who were very into their careers
#i've always struggled with gender and while i've settled with being Just Me i can't deny that i was raised on the belief that i would be a#homemaker and upon figuring out that i dont want that and i actually want a#pretty high profile career i'm really struggling#i'm a very veryyy femme lesbian and the way that my relationship is set to work in the future means i won't be the one to carry a kid or#stay at home. and i love that because i know who i am in that regard and my strengths Do lie in career and working#but i struggle with it too because as a person who didnt figure out she was queer until she was 20 and thus thought she'd have the#heterosexual experience of marrying a dude & carrying a kid & not being a huge career person for years#it's a bit of a shock to the system#i really struggle with overcoming gender roles that i've grown up being indoctrinated into believing and still thinking of myself as a good#& kind & nurturing person despite not wanting to be the stay at home mother#i wish i wiiiiish i knew more queer women who went through this realisation and came out the other end of it because it's harddd for real#valentina talks#i never realised how deeply how i grew up and the society i faced drilled into me that being a career woman & gay & taking on a more#traditionally “male” gender role was Bad and made you Wrong TM
