    Just call me a normal normal normal normal because I'm tired of being called a straight cis white man.

    It’s not an attack on you, I say as a straight cis white guy. It’s for people that are othered to not be excluded. It’s saying that every person is uniquely themself as well. How someone identifies is their identity after all. I have friends that are gay, straight, trans, and queer. If I can do little things like acknowledging my friends for who they are, then I am helping make their lives just a little bit better in an often cold and uncaring world.

    That was sarcasm.

    It’s harder to tell when people in this very chain are saying similar without any sarcasm.
