I hate living in a society ruled by sticks. Thin privilege sucks and people telling me I'm not healthy should just die. You think you have it hard? Try being fat AND black You are obviously blind to your own damn white privilege. ButI can't expect anything else fronm someone raised in a white middle class family. Typical cisgender ableist people. "Boo hoo, look! I'm soo fat!". Try being a transgender, transasian, veteran amputee. All I want is to be kawaii... At least you're in a body of your same species... As a genderless, aromantic panda with Tourette's syndrome and Hitler as a headmate, things are hard... KILL THE JEWS S---! PISS!! OKTOBERFEST T---. AdrianaGameOver.com Tumblr: becaus e f--- loqic
