one thing i need to start living by is “become the thing that you want” if i want friends who throw themed parties maybe i should start throwing those parties. if i want someone who writes me love letters maybe i should start writing letters for the people i love. if i want to hang out at museums and pretty cafes maybe i should invite my friends to these places. and maybe even then i won’t find the kind of people i want to be around. but then i would have become the exact person i want to be around. and maybe that’s good enough.

This is what I think happened after they reunited
goodbye owl house, and thanks for everything <3

You know what, even IF trans girls were universally better at sports than cis girls, they should still be allowed to play on their high school sports teams because the mental health and well-being of trans kids, the social support kids get from sports, and the societal benefit of basic inclusion and normalization of trans kids are more important than who wins a volleyball game or whatever
I didn’t realize that girls got a say, or universally agreed on, who got to be on their sports teams. I wish I’d known this when I was 12– I’d have voted out Molly, who violated my boundaries by being a bitch
I went to school with a Paralympian. A multiple gold medal winner, no less. She used to beat us all hollow at every bloody sport, even though - and I cannot stress this enough - we weren't even doing the sport she became a Paralympic gold medalist in.
But she was never barred from participating because she was too good. No one ever looked at her and went "Well, she has an unfair advantage" and banished her to a Paralympians Only team. The nature of sport is that some people will be better than you. We weren't whiny little bitches about that who tried to get her disqualified so we could feel more special. We just understood that she was better than us, and got on with it.
Honestly, if you can't handle some people being better than you - whether that's down to raw talent, private coaching, or just higher natural physical stats - you probably shouldn't be in sports at all
#want to get a highlighter and scribble over every paragraph of this post#'The nature of sport is that some people will be better than you' THAT'S IT. THAT'S JUST IT#HUMAN VARIATION EXISTS#some people are better at sports than other people! might be natural physical loadout (which includes muscles & bones & fat & hormones)#might be private coaching ('ooh let's get a team for ONLY the kids with rich parents'); might be ineffable lightning in a bottle talent#people are good at things at varying degrees#that is the nature of living With Other People In A Society#reblogs#also the purpose of Sports (especially at the k-12 level) is only 'winning' as a tertiary or quaternary point#primary is to practise how to play cooperatively with a team of diverse peers. it's socialisation!#if a coach says 'you are here only to win' then uh. that's a cartoonishly bad coach.
