Hello my wonderful fellow bloggers! It’s been awhile since I posted an actual post (June 16th, to be precise), so I decided to relieve your tired eyes (that should be asleep) and grace you with my amazing wit and funnyness.
PREPARE TO BE AMAZED.
So guys, this could just me being, well, me, but I am one of those people who like to know where I stand. I like to know the kind of person I’m talking too. I like to know what they think of me and so on and so forth.
What? I’m a girl, okay? I can’t be COMPLETELY perfect…
Just kidding, I am.
(Just kidding.)
But anyways, has it ever bothered anyone else when you’re talking to someone online (for me, it’s in my online classes for school), and you don’t know whether they’re a guy or a girl?
Tyler Perry? Madea? Tydea? Maperry?
Maybe it’s just a girl thing (or maybe it’s just a me thing) but it kind of bothers me. It didn’t used to…but now it does. Just a little. It’s kinda like an itch on your back. It’s hard to reach, but you can juuuuust scratch it. And then you go on your merry way, right?
But then 60 SECONDS LATER, it itches again.
There was this one time in 9th grade when I met this person in my English class. Their name was Dakota. I had a friend whose name was Dakota, and she’s a girl, so I thought “HEY LOOK! Another girl Dakota!! :D”
*Fast-forward to the middle of second semester*
A lot of the high school students had to switch homeroom teacher because our system was changing, so I ended up having the same HR teacher as Dakota. So we were all introducing ourselves and this one girl was like “I’m sorry for asking this Dakota, but I was just wondering…are you a girl or a boy?” to which he replied “Haha, no problem. I’m a guy :)”
That whole semester and a half of which he was my friend, I had assumed he was a girl. So I acted like he was a girl, without directly saying anything that SOUNDED like I thought he was a girl. I told my best guy friend later, and he laughed so hard…I kinda wanted to punch him in the shoulder, but 1) he lived on the other side of the state and 2) it was kinda of funny.
Just a teeny bit.
But WHILE I’m on the topic of genders, HOW CAN YOU PROPERLY SAY AN ANIMAL PICTURE IS CUTE WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT GENDER IT IS!? I mean, you’d either have to say “AWWWW! [Fill in the Blank] is so cuuuuuuute!” or “AWWWW! It’s so cuuuuuuuute!”
You can’t go around saying [Fill in the blank]! That’s ridiculous! And you can’t say IT. It’s not an it. It has a gender. ANIMALS HAVE FEELINGS TOO.
LOOK AT THESE EYES.
5 MONTHS LATER_UPDATE: Despite the over abundant use of capitalization, I was completely calm while writing this post…just wanted to throw that out there.

Beautiful baby is so cute. Problem solved. :-P
And yeah, this sort of bothers me too… It probably wouldn’t bother us so much if we lived back when cross-dressing was a nonexistent thing. :-P Then we wouldn’t have to worry so much about it, hence, not a problem.
I am such a history nerd. :-P
Yeah…but you had to think about it didn’t you? DIDN’T YOU?
Hmm, that’s true.
And you being a history nerd also seems to be true.
Yeah, I did have to think… It’s kind of hard for me to do anything without thinking. :-P
It probably is. ;-P
That’s true…
X-P
This post kinda hit home for me…just because I’ve been trapped in the wrong gender body for 17 years now. I don’t see people as their gender for that very reason, because I know first hand how much it can hurt to be thought of as something you’re not on the inside. But hey…it’s whatever man. :-)
