T has started using other people's pronouns "full time" now because T is "tired of letting language have so much power over me". Like, T wants people's respect but doesn't extend that to anyone else?

when u get mad at a waitress for assuming your gender but you're assuming her gender ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gretchen's friend Carroll introduces her to a girl, saying "she and her bat-crazy tr*nny girlfriend are on a break and she's all depressed about it" and Gretchen's only rebuttal is "I'm not depressed". Gretchen never sticks up for T, she never corrects anyone when T is misgendered, she never supports T in any of these ways. Like T is a shit person but, like, still doesnt deserve this bigotry????

"What, do you only want to date trans people from now on?" Nance is joking here but she got the right idea

"Ebony and Felicia are both black, and Joanna is Vietnamese. i felt a little weird at first, like I was boring next to them. Then I remembered that I bring in the LGBTQIA angle, so I was still contributing." mate is this a joke

"I'm so glad [T's sister is] saying all this stuff. I've never asked these questions. I've been so scared of saying the wrong thing" ask! your! partner! about! their! gender! identity! don't pretend to understand!!!! you need to understand!

At first T didn't use any pronouns for anyone and then T switched to using "they" pronouns for everyone and now T is using "ze/hir" pronouns for everyone and it is so gross

ok so THREE characters have said that the word genderqueer is problematic. there is no explanation except "so-and-so" said it was problematic. someone said it was classist, there is no explanation???? what is happening!!!!

"the town was repeating on me."

4 STUDENTS REMAINING -- oh jeez, oh jeez

reeeeally thought Yumiko and Yukiko's story would end in kissing. alas.

I love how quickly it's just gone from hey you're a vampire I wanna be a vampire!!! to okay I'll make u a vampire LET'S FUCKIN GO yes A+

'Sometimes I think she doesn't even know what she's trying to say, she just needs to say something, to vent her frustrations at a world she can't fix.'

'I didn't hate him.' 'You burned effigies of him on the barbeque.'

This is one of the best books I've read in a while and I don't really want it to end, tbh.

"(She'd also been replacing serious with cereal for a while, which was totally stupid but weirdly infectious.)" YES THIS PLEASES ME

Woah there sounding super anti-Muslim here please stop

"The tables of cliques are like labels for sexuality, and I dislike them both" YOU JUST LABELLED YOURSELF AND OTHERS AS 'GAY' AND 'QUEER' LIKE SIX TIMES OVER TWO PAGES

Oh. ):

Hello, end of more of my childhood! So far I'm liking this. The last three books weren't that great but this one is pretty spiffing.

I started reading this a couple of years ago and am excited to start reading it again :D

I thought the part where he peed on the building was only a Jack-Black-movie thing. Guess not.

Lessons learnt from this book: sex is evil, if you are fat you are evil, if you are not white you are evil. What.

Changed my mind, the book is pretty awful. So close to the end ahh

Didn't think I would like this series but oh, goodness, I really do. My friend who lent me the book told me not to get attached to any of the characters because everyone ever dies, but I love Arya. Martin wouldn't kill a child, would he? (He would. He killed one about 20 pages ago.)

What was the point of this book? What was the actual point? Nobody learnt anything, the characters didn't change because they weren't characters, they were just names. Awful book. Awful, awful book.
