Legitimately this is a fair approximation of what attraction is like for me.

My fantasies about men are a little... off.

But imagine. A man looking you in the eyes with a burning passion and in a low voice he says to you:

"... for Rohan."

Match- message "you've probably swiped right on a trans profile already. Anyhow, bigotry is a nonstarter for me, toodles" then wait a day and unmatch or block without further comment.

Reminded myself of a handful of encounters I've had with unintentionally hilarious anti-theists.

And now I'm giggling to myself over the memory of a couple 'gotchas' that failed spectacularly at making any point for them beside 'I see all religion as fundamentalist Christianity'

😂

At my first pride; alone and sun stricken. Like a used car salesman the person approached me, of course I must like drag...

But I don't.

I think I finally understand why I don't like it though and it's probably how catty and mean the scene appears to my timid ass.

Honestly I'm coming to believe "are you a one issue voter/person" is nearly exclusively used as a thought terminating 'gotcha' to attempt to shame people for having a moral floor.

Are you a one issue person?

It's uncomfortable being at the junction of 'yeah I'm not conventionally attractive but fuck that I attract good people to my orbits and that's more important' and friends forcefully telling me I'm beautiful.

It's confuuuuuuuuusing 😭

Sometimes I have blips of this energy.

I need to cultivate it.

I got a warning for calling people "weird" with a list- while another list doing the same thing got no notice.

I'm so disappointed by trans girls who seem to be in it to be mean appearance-centric bitches.

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human
Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.

Little concerned about how 'Norse Pagan' is being taken to mean 'White Supremacist' with no further questions at all.

Personally I'm an inclusive pagan, these white supremacists can eat shit and I'd like to punch them.
