continually awed by how american states function like separate countries
I held back on getting my gender changed in the state of Georgia because it required filing a court case and appearing before a judge to prove that I had transitioned enough to warrant calling myself male on my documents. there was a strong possibility they could deny me because I hadn’t undergone any type of surgery (a requirement under Georgia law that is waived only sometimes), despite passing as male 100% of the time.
this morning I went to the Maryland vehicle administration building and they had a touch screen with buttons that said “male” and “female.”
I paused and asked the lady “I can choose male, right?” and she looked at me (again, I’m just some guy with a beard) (and I think she misheard me) and she was like “Oh! Do you want to be female now?” I said no, my Georgia license (directly in front of her) says female, they wouldn’t let me change it, can I be male now?
she said to just pick whichever I wanted. I got my updated license in 5 minutes.
we’ve started feeding this tortoiseshell-point siamese recently. she’s beautiful, aside from the fact she has disturbingly big, bulging blue eyes. we’ve started calling her… ‘goop’
it’s goop!
GUESS WHO HAD GOOPLETS! SIX ENTIRE BABIES! mama goop held onto her gooplings for an entire week longer than she had to, so the gooplitos came out very well done and fluffy!!
nearly five years ago… since then, mama goop has aged significantly, and as she nears the end of her life, she’s been given a cushy retirement alongside her beloved husband, papa pumpkin. for everyone who remembers this post, the goop troop sends their regards

My husband came to the youth theater rehearsal I was directing last night to work on some set pieces. He usually only works set on weekends when nobody is there, so his goal was to be totally inconspicuous. But the second and third graders treated him like a walking stim video. They were totally absorbed by his painting and drilling and clapped for him when he began or finished a task.
The children, in the middle of their scene, suddenly seeing that my husband is about to put the first stroke of white paint over a wall: WAIT can we watch please please please?
My husband is a somewhat large bearded man, too, so as soon as the kids walked in, I was explaining that I know him, he is helping us, and to not be scared if there was some loud noise.
Meanwhile the children are just watching him the whole time like :) :) :)
This is definitely a plausible Hank moment, but only after a long episode of him misunderstanding and getting it ignorantly (but not maliciously) wrong at first, being distressed and confused about how he’s out of touch with the kids and gender ain’t simple like it used to be
right up until some rude asshole does this in his face and he needs to stand up for his friends / family and suddenly Understands the emotional crux of the issue
“And you have all these so called whistleblowers claiming the government is putting chemicals in vaccines and food to make you one of them transgenders or homosexuals. But I’ve never seen a transgender support the government or one of those so-called “gay frogs”, so it makes you wonder what THEYRE really putting in this stuff. All I’m saying is that Chelsea Manning went to prison and Mr. Rogan is a millionaire, and you always gotta follow the money”
“Tell you what man, talkin’ ‘bout dang ‘ol critical gender theory man, ‘s all a construct, talkin’ ‘bout man’s man and real woman but I tell you what man, talkin’ ‘bout when the lights are off we all just dang ‘ol people man”
“Well I think she’s a real classy lady.”
Not to be that guy but this is already canon. At the beginning of an episode Hank refers to a trans bank teller as “in between genders” but after a whole ordeal of him accidentally receiving a driver’s licence that says he’s female and everyone treating him like a woman for pretty much a whole episode, he approaches the bank teller once again and refers to her as “ma'am”
Hank Hill is canonically a trans ally after being misgensered himself
This artwork presents a young victorian sorceress in a ritual, and it represents the beginning of my spiritual path. I’ve been inspired by tarot symbology, and for this piece in particular I used as reference the imagery of “The Magician”. The cup, the wand, the sword and the pentacle: all of them are tools to create, to manifest, to move forward.
