Right back at you. It shows that you've been thinking about these subjects a lot, and that's awesome.

Yea, for sure. I'm a cis male, but I do enjoy me some nail polish, ear piercings, and some light makeup from time to time. Most of the people I'm around know me well and are based enough to know not to point that out or ridicule it - most, if not all of them, encourage it even - but there are always people, even my family members, who make it their job to comment on it and add their unwanted opinions. I usually just let them talk their bigotry and don't mind it, but sometimes it gets to you. So I get why said something and am happy about it.

Even before touching all of these "heavy" subjects, we can do so much by just being inclusive in the way we communicate with one another.

Fun fact: It's been a really big debate in Germany for the past couple years whether it's "appropriate" to use gender-inclusive versions of words that historically have been used in their masculine-neutral form in order to foster inclusivity, or if it's damaging to the German language (it's not, shut up lol). Stuff like that exists in all languages, I think, and English being a lingua franca, it should be possible to use it as neutrally as possible in such circumstances because it's just not that big a deal to not use these notoriously bigoted words.

Does the last paragraph even make sense?! Sorry, pretty much just rambling.
