ok so there’s a game me and my friends play called “don’t get me started” and basically someone gives another person a random topic and they have to go on an angry rant about it and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us at parties and car rides so I highly recommend playing sometimes with your friends
“Intimacy is not who you let touch you. Intimacy is who you text at 3am about your dreams and fears. Intimacy is giving someone your attention, when ten other people are asking for it. Intimacy is the person always in the back of your mind, no matter how distracted you are.”
sometimes you just gotta give yourself permission to accept that you deserve good things in life. you deserve to feel good about how you look. you deserve the attention your partner gives you. you deserve the praise for that thing you’ve worked really hard on. you deserve the people checking in on you and caring for you. you deserve all of it.
lemme tell you, when you start passing and trying out this scary ass world you gotta prepare- so here’s a list of stuff to watch out for
• don’t look at the urinal with profound bewilderment (trust me, it’s an URGE)
• when a man nods at you while takin a thicc piss, nod back. idk why, it’s secret cis code
• man says ‘how’s it goin?’ don’t hesitate, put on your best Straight Male™ voice and say ‘it’s goin.’
• usually this will be garnered with a gruff laugh, don’t smile or they will smell your humanity!! wash your hands and go bud.
• don’t act like you ain’t meant to be there, you’re prolly more of a man than any of those fuckers so stand tall and stand proud
• if someone glances at you weird, rather than thinking ‘shit im not passing’ realize that it’s probably just that you were so handsome that you just gave a guy his awakening!! congrats!!!
• don’t back down. you both reaching to get that piece of paper towel first? be fast. be bold. crush your enemies.
• a group of swanky men come in laughing? avoid.
• business men? avoid.
• friendly men? approach with caution.
• nervous boy™? congrats you’ve found your kin!!! bless!!!
• above all, don’t be too scared. it is horrifying at first but i promise you you are looking super manly today!! strut into that bathroom!! those losers that say dumb shit?? break their faces with a mirror!!
• you got this!! you are valid my lovely masc-identifying humans!!
