Why Can't You Just

I don't know. I just don't know. There's so much pain and heartbreak in the world already. I can't stand the idea of adding to it in any way. I'm ashamed of having added to it in the past, and want to completely avoid doing so in the future. But I don't suppose you can completely avoid adding to it as long as you're alive.

I'm 100% down with the concept of rejecting the gender binary, but that's not where I am on the spectrum. I sometimes wish I were. If it weren't used as an anti-trans slur, I think I'd be perfectly happy with being an "it." It evokes no emotion in me one way or the other. It seems calm and neutral. " docbrite is in its house, lying on the living room rug, stretching its spine in a patch of sunlight and wondering what it will have for its dinner." See, just objectively, I like that. But as well as being an ugly slur against people who don't wish to be reduced to objects, it probably also indicates a certain lack of self-esteem: I don't even like it when people refer to one of the cats as "it." If you can't tell, guess; the cat won't care and you'll have a 50% chance of being right. And this paragraph is making the Knights of Ni cry, so I'm now going to end it.

I just deleted a whole paragraph about Billy Joel. You're welcome. I should probably delete this entire post, but fuck it.
