  • The food especially nopales and agua fresca. Deep cut American classic rock being blasted at me from shops and Uber drivers. The people are generally interested in why I’m so stoked to be there, I loved answering questions. Indigenous ruins and archeology zones. I’m from Texas, so it was constantly fascinating figuring out some of the origins of cultural keystones I didn’t realize shaped my life.

    It was such a better time in my life than what I’m struggling with now. That’s probably too personal to be a good answer, but it’s an honest one.






  • It really wasn’t directed towards you specifically. If I was standing around at work and this was asked then this is how I would respond. Which has happened. There is an obsession with this topic that has empowered the dumbest element in my society (American) to take power in my society. Due to those elements (conservatives) I have lost my job (my current pays 1/4 of what I was making), livelihood, and now face an economic collapse. I absolutely don’t blame trans people for this, but recognize that their existence has led to my life becoming worse due to exploitation. Personally I just call people whatever pronoun out of politeness. They deserve equal rights under the law, but unfortunately the law doesn’t mean much these days.

    Mine and people like me (the poor) opinion ultimately does not matter, so I don’t understand why the question keeps being asked. Would it change anything?
