Man: Hi can I get a haircut?

Me: You can but you’re going to have to wait for half an hour.

Man: Oh no its okay I’ll just take whoever’s available.

Me: No one is available right now. It’s going to be a half hour wait.

Man: Oh its okay just give me whoever can take me right now.

Me: There. Is. No. One. Available. To. Give. You. A. Hair. Cut. Right. Now.

Man: what do you mean?

Me rapidly losing patience: I have a colour and my coworker has a Perm. We are both busy and there is no one else in the salon. So if you’d like to take a seat we can fit you in in 30 minutes.

Man: Oh….. Well I don’t want to wait.

Me: Then I suggest you make an appointment and come back and you won’t have to wait.

Man: So there’s no one available right now?

Me:

more information about the upcoming movie Adam (2019) from trans actors who worked as extras in the film 

for those who don’t know Adam (2019) is a film based off a book written by Ariel Schrag and the reason why it’s so gross and offensive is that the plot basically revolves around a cishet boy pretending to be a trans man so he can sleep with lesbians

for more information on the book/movie read this in-depth review by @genderpunksap  (TW: transphobia, homophobia, lesbophobia, corrective rape, voyeurism)

anyway please do not bully or harass the trans actors in this film!!!

oh to be a nun in 1350 enjoying quiet time and gardening and having lots of lesbian sex and then dying at the ripe old age of 36

I stay saying “it is what it is” but I know deep down my heart wishes shit would be different

the discussion of older lgbtq people using queer as a personal descriptor is such a messy conversation because at the same presentation I heard a 60-ish year old woman say queer was an empowering word that most lgbtq people of her age used, while a 79 year old man said he would never call himself queer because of the bad associations he had from having it used towards him as a slur, and you know what? they accepted and respected each others’ preferences and moved the hell on. it turns out older lgbtq people are not a monolith and have individual feelings on the word queer, yet can still act maturely and respectfully about it. where did we go wrong?

respect peoples’ decision to use or not use queer. it’s that simple.
