I'm p sure Stephanie Beatriz just came out on twitter

increasing my crush on her exponentially

 

I will never get over how much her actual voice differs from the one she uses for Rosa on B99.

 

@morgantayler I was watching some of the first eps the other day and there's even a huge difference between the voice she used then and the one she uses later

 

I love her so much

 

I came out as queer to my very devout Christian best friends who I've been friends with for years. They were so great. Super understanding, very sweet and very supportive. Only kind of downside was two of my guy best friends kept jokingly asking me if I thought they were attractive but w/e they were just being their normal selves.

It's funny, coming out as queer has been much easier than coming out as a vegetarian/anarchist to my friends lol.

 

For like a year after I told my dad I was a vegetarian he would ask me about all the things I could or couldn't eat. He once asked me if vegetarians ate fish.

I still make fish-grow-on-trees jokes.

 

Same! My moms like "so can you eat fish? What about eggs? Shrimp?". I've had to move back in with them recently and they fucking INSIST on eating my fucking soy and tofu meat products to try them

 

Thats awesome haha. One time, early on, my dad made soup of some kind, and didn't tell me until after I was done eating that it was made with chicken broth (In retrospect, i was a tad naive to not ask beforehand, but oh well). I naturally got a little pissed off and he was just baffled. Asking the question, "what did you think chicken broth was made of" without sounding extremely condescending is very hard, lol.

 

Yeah a lot of it's just common sense but here in the south it's viewed as such a strange lifestyle. Like people literally can't understand why I'm doing it even when I tell them. Plus I get the whole "plants are good for the environment and you're eating them all!" Joke/criticism and it's annoying

 

It's not so bad living in Michigan and not that uncommon, but I still get my share of mockery/ridiculous questions and whatnot. For the longest time one of my buddies called everything I ate "rabbit food" even when it was like a boca burger or something. I'm just so lucky to have a partner who is also a vegetarian. It makes finding food a lot less complicated.

 

That's good. Yeah I get the rabbit food comment a lot.

 

Well, to be fair, there are vegetarians that eat seafood, so that's why we ask that.

 

No I know, it's when it's asked repeatedly by the same person. My parents ask me several times a week about it

 

Well I guess only in America then. Living in the UK being veg was pretty normal. I come here and it's like "how can you not put meat in your salad?" not exaggerating. A fucking salad. I mean. What.

 

"How can you eat that without any flavor?" Is something I hear a lot. Like, it's not like I'm just eating fucking lettuce. But I try to be patient because here in the south it's so foreign to people.

 

Oh, that's really annoying.

 

I become more and more comfortable with gender neutrality as the days go by. Slowly coming to terms with it.

Got called the F word after an old high school friend got up with me and found out I was bi. Not the best way to start my day, but severing ties with him is probably for the best.

Hope you're all having a wonderful day

 

Yuck, definitely leave that dude behind.

 

So I am a social worker in a outpatient dialyis center- and openly lesbian. Today the charge nurse referred to a patient as "a disgusting fucking ***got". I told her that that wasn't okay. She laughed about it. I told my boss but she isn't going to really do anything about it. It is really upsetting me, my stomach hurts, and I am doing my best to get through the rest of the work day being positive and helpful to my patients.

 

I wasn't supposed to buy beer today, but I did, and the old guy at the register said "Thanks Mr. Last name" when he gave me back my ID.

You guys my reaction to that is...it means stuff. Yay gender ride!

 

How did your boss respond?

 

> hey, that guy is really cute
> he is straight

my life in two lines

 

Mine is like
> that girl is so pretty omg
> how do I let her know that I'm checking her out without being creepy
> nvm she has a boyfriend

 

Today was the pride parade and I missed it but my lil cousin went and look how happy he was

 

Tonight some dude on the street repeatedly called me sir while trying to get my attention and though I had no intention of talking to this person it made me realize that 1. I do like hearing people refer to me as a guy and 2. I dislike responding when someone gets it right because I feel like my voice will betray me
