"You're straight? I- I never knew. That must have been so hard for you."

Oh, I have a straight cousin too, he's cool.

"What did your parents say when you told them?"

" You are no longer my son... because now you're my daughter and I love you unconditionally."

What's wrong with this question? Many non-straight people talk about a specific moment when they realized it fully.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Too many straight people use this as the third sentence in a conversation with someone they just met though. Like, a formative moment in my psychological development is not something I'm accustomed to discussing with random strangers. It's different when it comes up in conversations with friends.

Add to that the weight of the oppressive sociocultural context that required me to have a developmental moment of revelation in the first place, instead of just, you know, being able to be whatever I am without having to wade though a pile of fear, guilt, and shame to get there. Yeah... it shouldn't be a casual question.

I see what you mean, and yeah I agree it can be inappropriate depending on the situation.

For me, it was that Alisha Silverstone and Liv Tyler Aerosmith video.

It's so brave of you to be this open about who you are!

I respect your choice.

I've never been to a straight marriage before, it sounds like so much fun

Who's the man in the relationship?

What you say about my momma

Next person who tells me "you can make it!" on my afternoon stroll around the neighborhood, because I'm young and use mobility aids, is getting a whack from said mobility aids. I'm not your inspiration porn.

Dude I'm 46 and run semi regularly. Every time someone on their driveway says something I want to jog up smack them and keep running.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Sorry, "every time"?

I find that so odd, like how often does it happen, and what do people say?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Not every time but over 50%. It is weird. Small town behavior?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Ah, small town, makes sense.

Lmao at my last race a random teenager was all like "FINISH STRONG" as I was slowing down happy it was nearly over. Don't say that to folks high on adrenaline and wondering why they signed up for this please.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

Then they just think they're ugly.
