But if you say "Natasha" you might get cut.
I was thinking about SSJN's story where he was utterly compelled to explain to a customer that he didn't identify as a "gamer" despite as much evidence that suggests the contrary as is possible: owning a game store, being in one, probably playing a game in or near that moment. I also don't like that label and I own hundreds of games and avail myself of every opportunity I get to play them. I grind Culdcept on the bus. But it still feels wrong to be called that, appropriate as it might seem to someone who isn't me. I'm not sure I could explain that to someone who called me a "gamer" without sounding rude.
Being misgendered must feel like "gamer" magnified by a billion. Knowing that, yes, I know what I might look like, and I know you can't see why this feels wrong to me, but it does. So if someone corrects you, and the correction I received was infinitely more polite than any I could give over "gamer," how about call them whatever they want and give them a break. Be human out there. We're all sloshing around alone in our gross hambags grappling with terror and loneliness nobody else can even see much less understand and much, much less feel--not your wife or husband or mom or friend--at every moment. Don't make it harder, dudes.

Isn't it nice when stories work on multiple levels?
Fucking gamers.
At work I've gotten to where I just say I don't care.
I don't care what the northeast does. I don't care what the west coast does. I don't care what the gays do. It has nothing to do with my life.
Usually people have a small epiphany when hearing this, like oh yeah, none of this impacts me, why do I worry about it so much?
But they'll be right back to it in a week because of sportspolitik and virtue signaling. People need this shit because they are 1D. It defines how they see themselves and the groups they are in.
If X = ( X / A ) * A
and X = ( X / B ) * B
Can ( X / A ) * A = ( X / B ) * B
?
EDIT: This doesn’t have anything to do with trump, I just want people to read it. Fuck you, you talked about condiments for 5 fucking pages.
