I'm sure I said this a couple of years ago, but gender has become the new astrology. You know the type -- I'm a Libra with Leo rising with Aries up my ass, blah, blah, blah. It's the same insufferably obsessive over-involvement in made-up bullshit system. I suppose it's a human impulse to make your own personal distribution of otherwise unremarkable human character traits and preferences into a defined (and very special) identity. But JFC is it tiresome to hear people go on about it . . .

🤣 u/reluctantcommenter, add this to the list.

And whoever is responsible for the idea that lesbians are all into astrology, f you. This is one of those "Internet lesbian culture" things that isn't really an IRL thing. My DBT therapy group was waaaay into astrology and they also largely had a disorder where two of the diagnostic criteria are "lack of stable sense of self" and "chronic feelings of emptiness." Go figure.

As an astrology lover, I weep 😭 Let me enjoy my made up bullshit, all religion is made up bullshit, astrology seems like the least harmful--worst case scenario, I miss out on a good connection with a woman cus I'm jaded on ever loving another Scorpio LOL, my brand of crazy only hurts me!
