He's more of a 'I was never taught and even if I was I never listened' kinda guy

There's a few more things going on with that tho

So, there are these two trans kids that I kind of talk to and I'm not 100% sure of their pronouns or which name is their deadname and I've known them for like 3 years but not well enough that I feel really awkward to ask them so when I mention something they do to a friend, is it okay to use "they/them" pronouns?

I say yes. It's definitely okay to use they/them when unsure of someone's pronouns (unless they specifically request you don't). It's safer to do that then accidentally guess/say the wrong pronouns and risk accidentally hurting them and/or sending them into a downwards spiral of gender dysphoria.

It can cause some confusion though. (For some people.)

welcome back rei!

welcome back rei!

haha thanks!

this girl at my school has been saying that she got gender reassignment surgery at 10, and when i called her out for it, she pretty much threatened to kill me in a message on instagram. im scared

If it’s an actual death threat I think you can report it. That’s so scary I’m sorry

yeh she said 'i dont care if the school reports me, i will fucking kill you'
it might not be a full-on one, but i just forwarded the email to the school ahha

Okay good

Ahhhhhhh sneaking on during school to tell y'all my mom went on a rant about how there are only two genders because I opened the car door for my brother, so there's a 80% chance she's going to complain to my dad and he'll out me

But I at least got to say "tradition is just peer pressure from the dead" and my brother agreed with me
But I'm also 80% sure I'm fucked

Oh jeeeeeeeeeeez
That’s Um
That’s annoying and scary
Stay safe dude

Excuse my language but what the fresh fuck is wrong with her that opening a car door for someone else is an even remotely gendered thing?

"tradition is just peer pressure from the rest"

okay i love this

lmao it can be a sign of respect for men to open car doors for women, but as a feminist i am On the Fence

I'll try to

And my entire family says it's manners to wait for the man to open the door for a woman, to the point to where they'll make you wait several minutes and you get in trouble if you just do it yourself

I say it's cool until you make them wait and get a pole up your ass if they don't

I'll try to

no offense, but your family sounds painfully old fashioned
my dad's like that too tho

Oh, they're extremely so. I feel like I'm lucky to wear pants, my dad's close friends with another pastor that their entire congregation doesn't have women wear pants
My dad claims to be unbiased and constitutionalist, but he's such a fucking Republican^TM

Chivalry is dead and so is my sanity

Well there's a page starter

Also both of my parents have made it staunchly clear their minds can't be changed, which sucks ass
Me saying women are perfectly fine opening their doors and men's doors is 'forcing my beliefs down my mother's throat,' apparently

Damn it is XD
Very quotable
