so my coworkers tend to Look At Me whenever women are mentioned in some capacity because i am the only afab person in the shop (possibly the whole company idk the field crew), and while i dont hide the fact that im queer, i dont necessarily advertise it (for obvious reasons)

but i do, when addressed in a smaller group, have a tendency to go "well, i'm not a woman, but-" in some way shape or form, because it's funny To Me. and i have done this two (2) times at work so far. and both fucking times have been met with "i fucking knew it!". from both my foreman (the first time) and the coworker im partnered with most often

so thats 2/5 of my main coworkers, and now im wondering how long before any of the others say anything, if theyve noticed at all

#the obvious reasons being i live in a somewhat rural area and work a blue collar job#my manager and foreman are chill and apparently so is my main partner#but you never know yk#i do really like my job regardless#rickytalk

if I ever strike gold and end up writing a popular book series i'd love to keep an eye on the fandom to determine the smallest crackship and make that the only one that goes canon

for me being bi has contributed a huge amount to noticing all the ways in which romance and friendship run together and i think in general people would benefit from recognizing that romance and friendship are socially constructed categories used to describe a vast, nebulous, and often overlapping range of feelings

My way of parsing it:

Every Relationship is actually a specific, unique thing. We invented Shorthands, such as Friend or Husband, to help describe recurring motifs in Relationships. But. The labels are simplifications. They will always fail to adequately contain the entirety of the Relationship.
