The biggest lie in fanfiction is that everyone has a first aid kit in their house. I have never owned one in my life

Wait do y’all not have like…first aid boxes in your hall closets? Like just a plastic box that has your basic first aid shit?

...no? Wait, you mean some people actually have first aid kits lying around their homes?

I... personally don't have a first aid kit at home and never had, neither my parents had, but... I've always had a "medicine cabinet", that always have... things like bandages, peroxide, alcohol, chlorhexidine, anti-burn cream... I don't know, the kind of things you are supposed to find in a first aid kit.

Don't you folks have that kind of thing?

#now#fire extinguishers? that's only for rich people

Realizing our household may be more accident-prone than most because we have a fire extinguisher on both levels and a full-on first aid kit, and we've needed them.

Remembering the time my old nb roommate who went to an LGBT law conference and was heaping the absolute biggest bitchfit texting me cause “some cis guy” was talking about trans people and trans men in particular and my roommate refused to listen to what this guy said cause “why should I listen to him” and I said “are you sure he’s cis?” And then towards the end of the presentation he said something that indicated to the crowd he was a trans man and then suddenly my roommate started to consider what had been shared.

Absolute loser behavior, but not completely unique. We’ve all gotta stop saying only x people can talk about x issues for us to listen. Too many people in the in group will have dogshit takes no one wants to challenge because “well, they are x identity.” Likewise, plenty of people on the out group actually know what they’re talking about and have something to contribute to the conversation.

Especially when it comes to sexuality and gender, you relying on someone outing themselves or you clocking them to decide whether their words have merit is shitty, because you won’t always know if they ARE the group “allowed” to talk about it. And even beyond that, I knew a fuckload about transness before I realized I was trans, it helped me REALIZE I was trans. “Listen to x voices” got sooooo warped in the discourse.

Yeah no 'Listen to x voices' is incredibly good advice- but it also doesn't mean you can only listen to them, or that only the in-group can know what they're doing.


Like yeah, you need to listen to them when they articulate what they need because they know that better than anybody. But that doesn't mean they're the only ones who know how to get that, or how to structure systems that are helpful.


And on top of that, like in what you shared, you can't always tell when someone is or isn't a member of a group.

kiss has to be one of the most disappointing bands ever. imagine hearing about this crazy rock band that dresses up in insane costumes and wears face paint and the one guy looks super demonic and has a really long tongue and everyone says they're satanic and then you listen to them and they're just singing about how they wanna bone but it's in a socially acceptable tongue in cheek way that your dad likes
