“I’m 81 years old, and I’ve been a zoologist since my 20s. My whole concept of the animal kingdom would crash with this ctenophores-first idea." nyti.ms/2yDBU5V

"i was born a boy but i'm in fact a girl"

- cliché, boring, implies genitals = gender

"before my birth God foresaw my power and, afraid, made me a boy"

- instantly asserts you're Stronger Than God,
- confirms transitionning gives you unnatural powers
- mythology vibes
- metal

Hello #MSWL

I wish HGTV existed throughout history. Can you imagine watching House Hunters: Victorian Era or Fixer Upper: Middle Ages?? It would be so fun.

#mswl someone find a way to make this work for me, please
