Sascha Stronach🏳️⚧️, The Sunforge out now@understatesmen.bsky.social · 6d agothis is also ... extremely not true of Buffy? Literally everybody in Sunnydale knows what's up and often backs her up. There's a climatic battle where the whole high school shows up with medieval weapons to fight the demon principal.

The cat just looked at me like she was trying to tell if I'm alive because, in my feverish state, I'm just staring up at the ceiling as I think over a paper proposal.
Anyway, we are NOT throwing our trans siblings under the bus for ANY reason. NO. You can kick rocks.
