My Dad did the same thing with me once, which is weird because I’m not a lesbian. We’ve got to work together to get the older generation to comprehend the gender spectrum one step at a time!

That is weird, wow. 
My mom have talked a lot about it in the abstract, like I’ve discussed non-binary identities with her and she seems to understand a bit, I think it’s just when it comes to specifically me she gets pretty confused (which, to be fair, I did lead her and everyone else to believe I was a straight girl for most of my life).

But they’ll all come around sooner or later 🙂

Deep down, you know you weren’t built for fighting. But that doesn’t mean you’re not prepared to try.

my mom, about reading fun home, which is about a butch lesbian: oh my gosh this just reminds me so much of you

my mom, like five minutes later: so do you like, want to be a man

me: no, I’ve been leaning towards butch, as in butch lesbian. I’m not a man.

my mom: so you don’t want surgery?

me: …no. I am. not a boy.

this is not the first time she’s asked, I’d understand asking once but she’s done it before. and like, SHE IS READING A TRUE STORY OF A BUTCH LESBIAN. IT’S RIGHT THERE. THERE IS A REASON IT REMINDS HER OF ME. I don’t want to really discuss my gender identity with her because I know she’ll take “not 100% girl” as boy, and the one thing I know for sure about my gender is I am not a boy. 

and I’m not even fully butch, my mom saw me in a dress all of a month ago.

Selfies under the cut, because PLL keeps inspiring me to experiment with make up, and also I’m trying to decide if I can like my glasses-less face enough to try contacts someday. Mostly I’m posting this because I don’t think I’m seeing anyone important today and selfies means I didn’t *entirely* use all that make up for no reason.

I kept making weird faces since I couldn’t see (my eyesight is preeeeety bad), but this is my generic picture face. I make it in like 80% of all pics.

SEE? Also people tell me there is no significant difference in my appearance with glasses vs. without, but I can’t agree.

this is my I’m cool pose. because cool people run their fingers through their hair. it’s science.

ok people are theorizing Rainbow Quartz has two sets of eyes because Rose and Pearl come from very different places of mind.

but consider this: Pearl and Amethyst, from what we’ve learn so far, have quite a similar view of themselves (low self esteem; measure themselves by how people they value see them; constant need for reassurance from outside factors). however, each has a different way of handling (and hiding) the same issues (Pearl’s perfectionism and high strung attitude; Amethyst’s laid back ‘i don’t care what you think’ facade).

they think alike but act differently upon it.

Opal has one set of eyes and two sets of arms.
