So much Mexican American culture is so black and white when it comes to the gender binary and it’s hard to pull myself out of it sometimes I guess. Yes, at the end of the day I can just exist as myself and not worry about it but it doesn’t make the sense of a lack of identity magically go away.

Born here and my whole family speaks fluent Spanish but I can barely keep up with what anyone is saying. I hardly know anything about my culture. I’ll always feel more comfortable in the presence of women than I do men and the men will never see me as anything but a short haired woman. Idk

1) I love you please come back and let me love you again
2) Paisley
3) Jack / Finn
4) There’s so much that I didn’t get to say to you / Paul

They’re acrostic poems of sorts. The first one uses the first word to make a new sentence, the next two use the first letters to spell names, and the last one is a combination of both! >>

I simply MUST make a “love me some them” design for a shirt or button or something

And yes, I do understand it doesn’t work for ALL gendered terms but it does work for most. It sucks that Spanish is a language that uses a lot of emphasis on gendered terms (-o and -a endings) but at least try to make the neutral ones something that works for the language 😭

Mis amiges, elle, Latine, Chicane, etc. etc. just roll off the tongue better and makes more sense in the the chosen language of Spanish. I’ve neverrrr been able to get over it souning like people are are saying a variation of Kleenex. 💀
