My favorite thing about Grindr
Is the headless men
No
You see, these “men”
They write
no fats, no femmes, no blacks, no asians
They write
Masc for Masc
They write
If I don’t respond to u then ur ugly
You see, these men
DM my inbox
And they’re looking for an “experience”
I’ve never been with a fat guy before
Can you fuck me in drag??
Can you just fuck off
I am not your fantasy
And I am not your camera roll
So I am NOT going to save your dick pics
I am not your chub rub fantasy
I am not your young cub that
You can train into submission
And no, I will definitely not piss
In your mouth
And when I tell them I have depression
They say This dick will cure you
Well, I didn’t know something so small
Could cure me!
They say I have bottom blues
Or I need a good fuck
Or I need to stop being so
Goddamn feminine
Femininity is unattractive
And well, you see,
I have worked so long
To learn to love my
Femininity and
My curves and
My hair and
My self
And you see, they say
I scare the boys away
That my confidence
Or my vulnerability
Depending on the
Day is unattractive
And, they’re right
I’m glad I scare them away
