well, how about taking pride in the fact i am a normal, biological male human with intact genitals and have no desire to get them butchered?

and i am also proud to not be "cis" anything. because i'm not a cis-male. i am just "male". i was born male and will always be male.

queue the metaphorical laser sights aimed at my head that i don't give a fuck about for speaking taboo words.

at this point, i think still being a normal person in this world who isn't a victim of harmful ideology is something that is very much something worth taking pride in.

and daring to say as much openly is an act of true bravery in a world of compelled speech and censorship where saying the wrong words or saying or doing anything that might offend so much as a single person is grounds for a ban off a website or social media platform. where saying the wrong words is grounds for being UNPERSONED.

what i think absolutely NO ONE should be taking pride in...

it truly is difficult to put into words just much i hate how thoroughly censored the internet is now. how everyone lives in fear of offending other people, hurting someone else's FRAGILE AF EMOTIONS. how everyone is so incredibly WEAK willed and thin skinned that a single word is enough to get you banned...PERMANENTLY!

how much i hate the fact that free speech may as well be dead, cremated, and scattered to the four winds at this point.

either we walk on eggshells and live our lives in abject TERROR at the thought of offending someone or violating some fictional thought crime.

like i said in another journal. i literally cannot speak freely. i am LITERALLY FORCED TO WALK ON GODS DAMNED EGGSHELL LEST I GET FUCKING BANNED OFF THIS GODS DAMNED WEBSITE!

i have no choice in this matter. NO ONE DOES!

BuT iT's A pRiVaTe CoMpAnY!

-_- how do you think we got in this situation in the first place? more and more people, not surrendering...just flat out THROWING THEIR RIGHTS AS PEOPLE INTO THE FURNACE WILLINGLY!

free speech is dead. we have the right to be censored and that is all we have left.

i wish i could say more but if i dare say so much as a single wrong word... down comes the hammer.

i fucking hate this world...no, i hate what this world has become. the shining beacon of freedom that was the US is now a shining beacon of darkness and censorship run by TYRANTS AND DICTATORS AND CENSORS WHO WANT TO DESTROY THE NATION FROM WITHIN AND ERASE THE CONSTITUTION AND OUR RIGHTS AS PEOPLE!

i fucking hate this. I HATE THIS!

and above ALL else... i hate every single one of the people FORCING ME TO WALK ON FUCKING EGGSHELLS SO AS TO PROTECT THEIR WEAK, PATHETIC, FRAGILE AF EMOTIONS!

I. HATE. EVERY. LAST. FUCKING. ONE. OF. YOU! I HATE THAT YOU TOOK AWAY MY ABILITY TO SPEAK FREELY, YOU CENSORIOUS TYRANTS!

i WANT to speak freely on the internet! i WANT to discuss the things i want to discuss openly. but i CAN'T because that is FORBIDDEN AS PER THE FUCKING TOS AND COMMUNITY GUIDELINES THAT ACT AS GUNS AGAINST EVERYONE'S FUCKING HEADS!
