I wrote about my pronouns.https://t.co/vgLQEwWqs3

These days, it feels as if an identity that, not long ago, felt unique to me in most rooms I entered has gone mass. Yes, part of what I’m personally upset about is the fact that this thing I loved isn’t so alt anymore. But more than that, it feels as if pronoun culture has contributed to nonbinary becoming just the third gender after male and female, more static and concrete than its original fluid intentions. The same nonbinary person who complained about nonbinary stereotypes lamented to me, “I don’t want to be a homogeneous normcore mashing of the two genders.” Ben hoped, “If man or woman can mean so many things, then so can nonbinary.” We all became nonbinary to escape gendered expectations, and now we’re stuck again. I can’t help but think that the walking-on-eggshells battle for pronouns is turning my gender into a human-resources-approved corporate product, more neutered than neutral, and, maybe above all else, profoundly unromantic. Next time, just call me by my name.

Just not having a videogame or popculture tattoo is pretty rare too
Or that might just be from a guy that has tats ands prides himself on his "timeless" tattoo ideas. Im so fricking cringe bruh.
Bonus quip:
"Alternative" girls don't get a moth tattoo instead of a butterfly challenge. LVL = Impossible
