ngl I totally appreciate you taking the time to explain to your friend, for a LOT of reasons - primarily because it gets SO DAMN EXHAUSTING having to do it myself, especially when it sure feels like someone who's otherwise pretty cool would rather deny my existence than expand their world a little bit. I'm really glad she reacted well! I probably woulda been like 'because we EXIST' & stomped off to have a good cry.
Gods, I can just imagine how tiring it gets. So yeah—if I can step up and take the flak once in a while, I’m happy to. 💜 Though I admit for the first few hours I was just tempted to send a Mean Girls meme that said, “oh my god, Karen, you can’t just ask someone why they’re ’they.’”
