#HBP warning.. if you don’t want to be internally screaming F&%K YOU F&%K YOU F&%K YOU F&%K YOU YOU🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬🤬

I advise skipping this article

I’m getting low key passive aggressive disdain & judgement for my staunch stance on #wearADamnMask by the people I see weekly

When #mRNA #vaccines came out & I was a bit hesitant, a client said, oh Lorraine, #takeOneForTheTeam

Getting the same vibe; take your mask off for the team

Yeah, no

My thoughts on #trans and #enby #pronouns:

I sometimes hear #cis folks complaining that they can't remember everyone's pronouns, that they feel it's unfair to have such a "burden" put on them, and that they're scared of being #canceled if they accidentally #misgender someone.

I won't deny that navigating these uncharted waters is often confusing, awkward, and overwhelming. I've definitely made a few errors over the years that still make me cringe to this day. But even if I added up all of the discomfort I've experienced on my #ally journey so far, it wouldn't even come close to the discomfort felt by trans and #nonbinary folks nearly every second of every day.

I'd much rather that it be me having a little difficulty remembering to use people's pronouns than them having difficulty simply living their own authentic lives.

I can #TakeOneForTheTeam and feel a little uncomfortable for a few seconds every once in a while if it helps give them the confidence to be themselves. ⚧️ 🏳️‍⚧️
