“If youre not hiding anything youll let me look through this” is a gross manipulation tactic

You have every right to keep your stuff private, it is natural to not want people, no matter how close they are, going through your phone/papers/conversations/pictures.

Dont let them trick you into feeling bad because youre a human who wants privacy.

my fiance has a degree in biotechnology and cytogenetics and worked at bed bath and beyond and older people would always ask him, “so did you go to college?” and when he said yes and told them his degree they would say, “wow!! then what the heck are you doing working here??” and if that doesn’t tell you how disillusioned and ignorant the older generations are to the situation many millennials are in right now i don’t know what will

Unpopular opinion: straight people using “partner” to refer to their SO actually helps normalize the term so that lgbt folx can use it without automatically outing themselves to strangers. It also helps other straight ppl get comfortable with the fact that strangers aren’t entitled to information about other people’s gender or sexuality.
