WTF is it with people who dig for reasons to exclude after they've been excluded? They know damn well what it's like. And it's not like the world needs more division and strife.
Yeah, that kind of boggles me. I think it's human nature. Because everyone on this planet has been hurt by something at least once in their life, but yet we find ways and excuses to go on hurting each other, even though we know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of it.
I guess people are better at passing on pain than healing it, which may be the prime defect in our species.
Wow, I have really waxed on about this stuff.
Please, wax as much and often as you like. About this. I think overwaxing can give you a rash in real life though, so maybe exercise moderation in hair removal, but you know what I mean. :)
I'm glad you did say something (I'm almost always glad when you do!) and it makes me feel better to know that at least one person understands and knows what's going on and accepts me for it.
Because I've gotten some harsh comments from people who were gay/lesbian, but I try to remember that right now there are people fighting for the right just to be recognized and equal, and that kind of frustration and pressure from that has to be reaching Pompeiian levels by now (Pliny notes the mountain has taken up smoking...).
So it's nice when someone says, "Hey, I get it."
You're still wearing your pride bracelet, right? :)
Less often than before because it was kind of irritating the skin on my wrist, but I think I shall go and put it back on right now. :)
