I get really annoyed with how in almost everything I see about the bathroom issue, cis women are shown to be the ~accepting good guys~ as if they/we are not the primary policers of who uses the women’s bathroom

like cis men suck don’t get me wrong but cis women are a huge part of the problem too and it’s so disingenuous to pretend otherwise 

today was a lot of work and pretty rough at time but it was such a great day for my presentation. the crowd was so great! lots of people complimented my bow tie, and a couple people just kind of yelled that I’m v cute (I think they thought I worked FOR the celebrity, like on his team, rather than the bookstore, which to be fair the aesthetic fits well (my coworker and I took a pic with him and it’s HILARIOUS because we’re all wearing short sleeved blue button downs and have similar haircuts))

And to top it off the girl messaged me that I looked v dapper (it was her first time seeing me in a bow tie) since she forgot to tell me in person

now that my raise has kicked in I’m among the most financially stable of my friends and navigating that is weird, especially KNOWING that offering to pay for things can make people uncomfortable when money is tight BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT’S HARD TO NOT BE LIKE HEY I FINALLY HAVE SOME EXTRA MONEY IF YOU WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE WITH ME I COULD PAY FOR YOUR TICKET. YOU WANNA DO A FUN THING I LOVE FUN THINGS AND CAN FINALLY AFFORD SOME FUN THINGS.

I am tired of myself, and there’s a lot to that but I’m especially tired of the theoretical status of my lesbianism and how I let the fear of/desire for romance effect me so I’m gonna do something about it.

A) I’m giving myself until next Friday (just under two weeks) to find where I stand with the girl, and if she doesn’t like me/I don’t find out, the mooning is done and I move on

B) Assuming she doesn’t like me/I don’t find out, I’m gonna go to a bar and try something casual, because I’m not waiting FOR anything, I’m just waiting and I don’t WANT to anymore
