( No Title )
I (👑🍸) mean this with all the love in my heart but it feels like some of you have forgotten that you can lie to people on the internet.
It is acceptable to lie to people on the internet.
if people at home call you he/him pronouns and you want people online to call you by she/her pronouns you don’t owe anybody the knowledge of what they call you at home. You don’t have to call yourself trans if you don’t want to. You can just call yourself a girl and move on.
You don’t owe anybody on the ‘net the full veracity of your physical vessel.
I am so, so happy that being transgender has become so much more normal and acceptable but I really feel like it has simultaneously done irreparable damage to the expectation of privacy and the commonality of lying to people on the internet.
Back in my day if you wanted people to see you as a 15 year old girl you just told people you were a 15 year old girl and deleted all your accounts if somebody doxxed you– and remember that you shouldn’t doxx people.
Privacy is good, people! you don’t owe everyone online the naked truth of your soul at all times.
Did among us teach us nothing?!
It’s good practice to lie or evade telling direct facts about yourself as much as possible on the internet. Every crumb you leave online could be what is used to doxx you and make your life hell, or just for creeps to be creepy with.
Only semi related but I feel poetic about itː
Authenticity is meaningless if it’s expected. Facebook authenticity is gross. Sometimes a lie is more authentic than a fact.
Please stop telling me everything about yourself before I have even interacted with you.
I am not interested in your truths.
Your lies are way more interesting. Who do you want to be right now?
Remember, they want to know who you are so they can market to you, or market you. That is all.
