        honestly it’s kinda fitting. if witches were real you just know that harry potter would be a total bastardization of their culture and practices

      transing my gender back and forth like ikaruga to bypass the final boss’s multiple layers of mortal-man-proof and mortal-woman-proof armor

    Daughter: Mom, Dad. I’m… I’m a girl.

    Dad: MOTHERFUCKING FAIRIES! Not you honey, sorry I didn’t mean to yell. You’ve done nothing wrong.

    In the short story White Water, Blue Ocean by Linda Raquel Nieves Perez, the protagonist’s family suffers from a curse where the women can’t lie, and the men can’t fall in love.

    Except the protagonist is nonbinary, so she doesn’t have either affliction.

        I can’t say I fully understood the story, but I think thematically it played a bit with the resentment some people feel towards the LGBTQ community for “playing outside the rules.” Their elderly family kept misgendering them, etc.

    My mom once got told by a psychic that she’d have a boy and a girl. But then they corrected themself in confusion that she’d have another girl sometime later, and that something was different/special about this correction that they couldn’t fully make out.

    Turned out to be very true…

    Not that I believe in that stuff but it’s a neat little anecdote this reminded me of.

    Wouldn’t that be a trans boy? I thought we were supposed to call people what they are inside.

      the prophecy fortold a female, but the child was born a male (assigned male at birth). they came out as a trans girl (male to female) so the prophecy came into effect

      don’t worry about it. it’s kinda confusing at first, especially the phrase ‘trans girl’ lol

      also happy cake day!
