yea i watch dragonball z, i know pinnochio, vagito etc

as in, came out as trans, she knew i was pan for quite a while

came out to my mum today. she's super supportive and i love her so much 💜

strangely enough i am not like this at all irl, like, i spent my sunday afternoon at the nude beach talking to a group of 4 perfect strangers on the basis of them being hot and me wanting to show off my body also they were really cute

me: oh hell yea i'm gonna post a nude today i've finally worked up my courage
also me: *has deleted the good nudes out of anxiety*

also throwback... wednesday i guess? to that time a fellow engineering student told me when she interned at Siemens she was placed with the (mostly female) secretaries, because management thought she would be lost in the (mostly male) engineering department. somehow this is the thing that makes me the angriest because she's (visibly) muslim and didn't need that shit on top of all the racism she presumably faced.

the company i now work at is tiny, we have no HR or other relevant departments, so i "only have a girlfriend" and am a "cis dude", out of fear of losing this job or having to constantly argue with the boss. what hurts most though is having to talk about my boyfriend as just a friend i mountainbike with :(

at another company, my direct superior brought up the usual shit about it being unfair that there's gay pride because there is no straight pride. at a previous job he apparently was involved in the US missile program. he also believed in the weirdest conspiracy theories like "yea big pharma has developed a cure for alzheimers long ago but they keep it secret because the meds to alleviate it make more money".
smile and nod, Jo, smile and nod^^

like, my dude, i can assure you the gay community has access to way better vibrators than your shitty milk frother and the people working at microsoft are way, way smarter than you with your failing tiny-ass business

it's really astonishing how prevalent this is: at a former workplace my boss claimed to have developed the first solar-powered milk frother (what a dumb idea) and that at the time it was very popular with the gay community because it vibrated. he did this in front of our openly gay PR guy.
another time he claimed "the stupid indians" working at microsoft were somehow at fault for him deleting his outlook archive file and losing all business correspondence...
