PEOPLE ARE NOT MEANT TO BE “FIXED” AND THEY DEFINITELY AREN’T MEANT TO BE “FIXED” BY YOU JUST FOR YOU TO END UP FRUSTRATED AND EMOTIONALLY DRAINED!!!!!
Reblog if you don’t identify as strictly male or female
Please, I’m trying to prove something to my stepfather who says you can only feel either male or female and that such things as genderfluidity and non-binary genders don’t exist.
