    I was born in Victorian Britain and have a very mirthful air about me.

    So one day I was going about my merry business, being my jovial self.

    When I’m walked a creature that saw what I was about, smoked at me and said ‘well aren’t you the gayest person I’ve met all day’.

    I’m not sure how to feel tbh

    I’ve had a colleague say that tea is “homo water”. I’m aro/ace, but most of my colleagues don’t know that. Similarly a straight colleague of mine got mocked for wearing pink (but not feminine) shoes. After some of these incidents we’ve kinda started pushing back against this nonsense by deliberately triggering these people and calling them out, which has worked so far.

    I remember kids telling me I was crossing my legs in a gay way. I asked them who said so, and they said their teacher. That was the first time I realized some bullies grow up to be teachers.

      Seriously. If I was a girl, there’s no way I’d want to fuck someone with a filthy asshole, especially on my sheets. Skidmarks on the sheets and smelling like old shit is gross.

      Wash your ass and groin with soap and water just like you do your armpits and feet.

      My unasked for advice? Keep your butthole hair trimmed or shaved. Makes it much easier to keep clean, and it takes two seconds in the shower.

      And up to the first knuckle, you don’t have to jam soap up there but wash your nasty ass if you expect anyone to not gag when they get near your crotch.

      Some of yall are nasty.

    It’s funny to me all the times that I’ve been considered not manly enough, whether it’s wearing my hot pink vans or a pink shirt or tie, allowing my gf or now my daughters to paint my nails, and tons of other examples I’ve been called gay for too. It made me think, what really makes a man. And going by their own definition, isn’t it one sign of a man to not be swayed by the opinion of someone who seeks only to denigrate? So why would I care about their opinion?

    Around 2010ish I was thoroughly enjoying some Bells Two Hearted and other IPAs. My brother (2 years older) tried arguing that bud light is man’s beer, and my beers were fruity and girly. It certainly doesn’t matter to me, but the irony of choosing bud light, out of all the macro beers, is just 👨‍🍳😘>

    Use chapstick

    Read a book in public

    Not go to gym

    Play certain more “feminine” games

    Those off the top of my head. I live in a nation of backwards idiots, so there for sure are more

      Use chapstick

      My first exposure to Big Bang Theory was the scene where they made fun of one of their friends for “wearing lip gloss” and refusing to call it chapstick. It was so weird and toxic and I assumed it was a gay panic joke before finding out it was the nerd show I was avoiding. Fucking terrible show.

        Chapstick and lip gloss are different where I’m at. Chapstick is a thick paste stick like beeswax consistancy, and Lip Gloss is a roller tip with liquid inside.

        One goes on matte and one is Glossy

          They’re different in the US where the show was written and the target audience is. Sitcoms just have terrible, toxic people in them because it’s easier to write conflicts. It’s Always Sunny is aware of that and takes the idea to the extreme without making the MCs likable. BBT is just lazy writing with lazy “nerd jokes”

              BBT has terrible “jokes”. Nerd jokes are fine, but this is lazy writing and the “nerd humor” is the only thing that sets this show apart from other sitcoms.

      How I get around that: Wait until my girl uses hers, then kiss her.

      It’s a bit of a running meme between us.
