what better activity for the repressed transsexual undergoing an uncomfortable puberty in middle school than one that revolves about strict girl-boy gender pairings and obligate human touch? truly one of the experiences of all time

ahh the feeling of having to hold a pretty girl's hand while i felt like fucking Swamp Thing and wanted nothing less but to vanish completely so i would no longer inconvenience the female gender and the rest of humanity w my presence. good times

Yeah this was Florida in the early 90s. Apparently someone recognized that I was good at following prescribed patterns and decided to weaponize it.

I remember my school having a kris kross day during dance week, everyone came in with their pants on backwards and with bandanas and shit and we did "Jump" for one of our dances. (before the square dancing continued) ahh the early 90s was a weird fucking time.

i will never forgive my high school for forcing me, someone who tends to avoid loud and crowded places, to attend shitty pep rallies next to a bunch of the loudest and rowdiest kids in my school

They taught us how to do the Macarena in middle school against our will

Pretty sure they considered any physical activity that kids will actually do and that doesn't result in injury or property damage a win
