Family: “WOW CONGRATULATIONS AMAZING 🥳🥳🥳”

“Hey I’m choosing to live my life as a different gender now and finally be happy with who I am!”

Family: “Are you sure about that? :( Have you thought of The Consequences? :(“

one thing i am quite grateful to Brian David Gilbert for is the phrase “If you needed ME to tell you that… I’m glad I told you that.”

it has been etched into my brain for the past six years, fundamentally altering how i consider knowledge gaps held by others, as well as myself. people usually need to be told stuff before they can know it! that’s how knowing stuff works! this is an extreme example played for laughs but it’s a legitimately helpful philosophy!!
