New Years is a time to reflect on all the dogs and cats we’ve seen this year, and to look forward to all the dogs and cats we’ll see in the year to come
PLEASE REBLOG
I’m considering coming out to my family as non-binary, and so today I brought up the subject of non-binary gendering/transgendering with my Dad as a casual conversational topic. He’s told me that if somebody is born a boy then they “should stay a fucking boy” and not trans to a girl or be a boy some days/girl other days/genderless other days.
I told him that I think gender identity should be something one can choose for themselves, and he says that nobody thinks like that and anybody who is trans/non-binary will just be shunned by every member of society they meet. He doesn’t think that people support n-b/t communities, because he doesn’t. He says to me that not staying one’s natural gender is wrong and against the point of being born a boy/girl.
Every person who reblogs this will have their URL written in a full-size writing book and when it is full I will show it to my father to illustrate to him the amount of people who believe that being non-binary is a valid gender identity.
I'd think of the jewelry store lol. But that also got me thinking, why not personify Pandora? A person who's literally always wearing jewelry, and it always has to be the best of the best. Someone gets them the new Disney Pandora ring and they literally cried because jewelry.
Names are important in stories, so what would your first impression of the name Pandora be?
For a person? Someone kind of dangerous or very beautiful. When I think of Pandora, I think of wide possibilities and unknown things. So if it’s for a place, definitely somewhere with unknown capabilities or a place with mystery :)
