Maia🏳️‍⚧️: I was unaware this was a thing but, ew. Basically my entire life people have nonconsensually projected kink "identities" onto me and I honestly struggle on a regular basis with not getting reactionary about the way people adopt ~conventions~ from kink subculture and throw them around

My phone thinks "twink" is a proper noun

Slight nonsequitur, but the proclivity in kink to capitalize common nouns according to whether they refer to a dom or sub is such a peeve for me.

Totally. I feel like this is almost a constant experience being trans. It makes dating near impossible.

I don't want to kink shame other marginalized people in particular but it is deeply exhausting

And degrading.
