hon, i’m adopted. from china. it’s. not that hard to figure out.
both lesbians are also cis, i’m pretty sure i’ve said that in the past
Also like, ‘my parents are both lesbians’ should probably have a bigger prior of ‘adopted’ rather than ‘test tube baby that didn’t require sperm which is theoretically possible but hasn’t ever actually happened yet’.
The silver lining is that we’ve staffed this corner of Tumblr with so many transhumanists that someone’s brain ACTUALLY supplies “near/mid-future gene-editing technique” before “adoption.”
I mean I’m pretty sure that anon thought that I was Rachel Dolezal: Part Two, Asian Boogaloo; but this is a far more pleasing interpretation. @mitigatedchaos would approve.
Obviously you’re just not signalling being Chinese hard enough.
You’re gonna need to wear a qipao, while putting your hair in a bun and putting two chopsticks through it, while appearing in a kung fu movie set in Hong Kong, while speaking with a heavy Cantonese accent.
This should make it clear to all readers that you are definitely Chinese, despite growing up in America to the point that you tag things as “#half-remembered” and probably having almost no familiarity with speaking Cantonese in your life.
Now I know what you’re thinking. “But wait, don’t many overseas Chinese students these days speak with an accent almost indistinguishable from American English as spoken by a second-generation immigrant?” But this is about Tumblr theater for Americans who project their own terrible race politics on every other country, regardless of whether it’s remotely applicable, so spoon feeding is required.
As for the kung fu, that’s merely a point of disagreement between me and the current government on whether learning a martial art should be mandatory for all able-bodied adult citizens as part of a broad-based, multi-layered civil defense strategy. The good news is that the same viewers don’t know what real martial arts looks like, so you don’t actually have to learn kung fu, at least while the government and I hash out our differences over what qualifies as “an essential obligation of citizenship” and a “necessary sovereign service to be yielded by the state.”

let me tell you about cricket
First, a dingo runs off with your ball, then you get lost in the vast wilderness between the cities and die.
I suddenly realised I have no idea how to refer to the round objects used in a game of baseball
baseballs? doesn’t sound right
baseball balls? surely not
That’s what they are, Argumate. One is a baseball, more are baseballs.
“About the size of a baseball.” “He hit a baseball over the fence.” Etc.
I feel like maybe you don’t belong in America (or Japan).
(Nah I’m just kidding, Japanese would probably use some counter so the plural form wouldn’t be “baseballs” (per se).)

You’re supposed to represent this as a whole number ratio of unicode fruit emoticons, and I’m really personally upset that you didn’t feel it was worth it to address me in the proper way.

I see you subscribe to the Argumate School of Unicode Emoticon Abolitionism.
I can’t say I disagree. May we all work together for a world in which emoticons have been replaced with additional ancient Chinese characters, possibly oracle bone script.
