maydei:

just pinged the gaydar of two older lesbians who commented on the funny way i hold my pencil, the conversation went like this:

them: “oh, you hold your pencil like a lefty but you’re a righty!”

me: “oh yeah, i used to be a lefty when i was a baby!”

them: “oh, did they correct you?”

me: “yep, at catholic school. but they couldn’t fix my bad handwriting, or um. anything… else.” 

and they LOST IT

I DIDN’T EVEN MEAN TO, IT JUST CAME OUT LIKE ME BUT THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUNNIEST FUCKING THING AND I FELT QUEER VALIDATED
