The Adventures of Nonbinary Karen

[rynling]

Me: My boss won't use my pronouns and keeps calling me "darling," and I'm getting frustrated.

Nonbinary Karen: Have you tried yoga? :)

Also Nonbinary Karen: A service worker at a gas station called me "ma'am." I feel so attacked and violated. I haven't left bed all day. Please light a candle for me!

As someone who benefited a massive deal from yoga post-suicide hospitalization and continues to practice yoga in their own space, I want to shove a fucking $100+ yoga mat down the throat of the next douchenugget that asks "BUT HAVE YOU TRIED YOGA??????? :) :) :) :)"

I dislike yoga and do jogging instead.

Some dislike jogging and do yoga instead.

Some people are on their feet all day and do Fortnite instead.

But Jesus Christ, personal hobbies and exercise are not an appropriate means of addressing systematic institutional discrimination, and the idea that the individual being harassed is the problem that needs to be fixed is disgusting neoliberal bullshit.

But let's be real, the actual problem is that I need to stop spending so much time on Twitter, which insists on presenting me with stupid people saying stupid things that it knows will make me unhappy.

Also I am so sorry Twitter is a bag of dicks :( the more I hear about it, either from you or someone else, the more I'm convinced it just needs to be burned to the ground and forgotten.
