i actually answered with an "ah" sound to indicate i was there but after a solid five second thinking period

fun fact: i remember the first time i was in one of those public bathrooms that had one toilet and one sink and stuff and someone knocked on the door. i consider this moment to be the root of every single issue and problem i face today. had this never happened, i would never have become trans or neurodivergent or mentally ill or brown or oppressed in any sense. i would just be your normal everyday white cishet christian male who gets into "political discussions" about whether certain humans get treated like humans or not.
