Yep, I’m a bloke. Don’t worry about that; I get that response a lot on Tumblr. One time, I even got referred to as (bless the person who said this, by the way) “a unicorn” because it was so rare for them to see a male blogger who wasn’t sexist. Which makes me sad, since I was hoping that non-sexists were the majority of male-run blogs on Tumblr and not the exception to the rule. 

Granted, I still have problematic behaviour that I’m trying to unlearn, but I hope that I’m getting better. 

I actually take it as a compliment when people assume I’m female. It means that I’m doing something right in my attitude towards toxic masculinity and sexism. 

‘Bloke’ is British (and Australian as well, I believe) slang for someone who identifies as male. Although I wouldn’t really describe myself as especially ‘blokeish’, since I’m more of a dork than anything else. 

Thanks for the message, anon; hope that cleared things up for you. 

I shit you not even I was convinced you were a girl but I didn’t say anything because it felt silly to give you kudos for being a decent human being. I thought you’d be offended. It’s pretty funny but sad that people express shock when a decent person turns out to be a boy. Nobody would ever say things like, “oh my god you are so nice I can’t believe you are a girl” to a friendly girl.

@ronandhappiness Don’t worry about it. Yeah, it is ridiculous that the bar is set so low that being a decent person is praised so much. Nah, I’m not offended. Like I said, I take it as a compliment since I shows I’m unlearning problematic behaviour that I had developed through toxic masculinity. 

Men have the bar set waaaay too low compared to women. It’s ridiculous that men are praised just for doing the bare minimum of ‘being a decent human being’. 

You are a very nice unicorn. I hope other unicorns emerge from your influence!

Awwww, thank you @gaylittlepieceofsh1t and @leiaorganahuttslayer; that’s so sweet of you both!
