Summary:

"You could have asked me," Chloé says irritably. "Why does Dupain-Cheng even carry menstrual pads? That's girl stuff."

Because she's a girl? Adrien almost says. Someday he wants to tell Chloé he himself isn't, though. What else could—

"I know people who menstruate, Chloé," Marinette says. "Some of my best friends are menstruators."

"So you think it'll get you in girls' pants?" asks Chloé. "You know she's straight, right?"

Adrien has lost track of the pronoun referents here.

...so what are we thinking in terms of how to tag community posts for consistency and usefulness?

Community Open!

[soc_puppet]

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the newly opened queerly_beloved! I am your mod, soc_puppet, and I hope you all have a wonderful time here.

This community is dedicated to supporting and celebrating all the queer folks who are excluded by jerks on Tumblr for purely BS reasons, as well as queer folks with intersectional identities (such as POC, disabled, poor, homeless, fat, religious, and lots of other identities that I'm sure I'm missing because I still have a lot to learn and probably always will). To find out more of what this community is all about, I encourage folks to check out the community profile, where you can also find the list of posting guidelines and community rules.

To christen this new community, I would like to formally share the large version of the image I made for our default icon, both of which are available to all community members to download and use as you like. You can find the large image under ( this cut )

(Note: Tags are coming, I just need to figure out how nested tags work, because I am over-eager and wanted to get this comm started already.)
