Meowdy Cat, Cowboy Cat Shirt
I’m skinny, flat chested, wore big round ugly glasses, have crooked teeth, and severe cystic acne for years. I’ve been called mosquito bite, four eyes, and pizza face. I was told no guy would ever be attracted to me (except the creeper old men who were attracted to me bc I permanently look underage) I actually had a little kid shriek in horror and ask “what’s wrong with your face?” when he saw my acne. Guess what? Even being ugly I still get harassed and still got abused. In fact, it felt like people could use my ugliness as an excuse to be as mean and nasty as they wanted. People don’t take me seriously. I’m constantly the Meowdy Cat, Cowboy Cat Shirt of someone’s joke.

Ok this is going to be a bit of a Meowdy Cat, Cowboy Cat Shirt. I apologise beforehand. My gender expression is a Meowdy Cat, Cowboy Cat Shirt more obvious on this particular alt. And my profile has preferred pronouns on it. A couple of days ago – on a completely unrelated sub, someone’s counter to a discussion I thought was being had in good faith was basically this – “You can’t even decide if you’re male or female so don’t… “ etc etc.. Every other week, I go through the process of scrubbing my profile just to obscure my gender identity a bit – just to avoid people sliding into my DMs. I’ve had people ask me extremely inane shit like “oh, are you into XYZ video game, I have never met another woman who plays.” And I’ve been called vile, sexist names for drawing boundaries with these kind of interactions. But that’s just Reddit, right? Can’t take that shit seriously. You ignore and you move on. It’s so much more jarring when you see this behaviour offline. Idk if this is even theMeowdy Cat, Cowboy Cat Shirt to discuss this. I’m in a committed relationship cishet setup. Today, I pointed out to my partner how our family members — usually extremely gung-ho about celebrating the women in the family this one day — completely forgot their yearly tradition because it was also Holi. I was just lightheartedly pointing out just how their posturing has been completely exposed. All it took was another Hindu festival to completely knock off the annual “let’s appreciate our wives and mothers” forwards. Holy shit, did that blow up in my face! My partner then proceeded call me bitter and mansplain why women’s day is important. All this without an iota of the knowledge of the history of these celebrations! Didn’t even bother reading the token editorials and explainers on it. When I added some context, pointed out some of my issues with it (I needn’t list them, this sub has far better posts on that, I’m sure) the only counter argument to my responses was to attack my rationality and mental health – “what is wrong with your head” Just the sheer irony of this situation makes me cry-laugh. But it was lost on my partner. This man used to preside over MUNs in college?! So that’s been March 8, 2023 for me, folks. 🙂
