And then there’s the one guy who just wants to say “ROBOT LOVE IS QUEER,” a phrase I never thought I’d hear on the 5th best-selling album on iTunes.
So… as far as a rough goes, what do you think?
That’s the funny thing about real love, though. I’m not the first to make this observation, but it is never a fairy tale. It’s never a story in which two wealthy, healthy, perfect people fall madly in love and go on to have their flawless Happily Ever After. It’s also never a story about one perfect person choosing to love a broken individual out of altruism. Love—real love— is invariably the story of two troubled people who understand and accept each other’s troubles, but choose to face them together.

Things I Read That I Love #92: More Like Staying Drunk
HELLO and welcome to the 92nd installment of Things I Read That I Love, wherein I share with you…
I can understand why it is that many transwomen feel a need to personally thank me. When society constantly tells you that you’re not worthy of having the kind of healthy, loving relationships that cisgender people take for granted — when the media tells you that your body and identity are the subject of fetishism at best and disgust at worst — I understand how it could be easy to forget that you, too, are a human being, and that you,
too, deserve to be loved exactly as you are. Transphobia is so rampant in every aspect of our culture that it seems that many trans people have internalized self-hatred to the point that they have given up on all hope of love.I’m obviously failing, somehow, to make it clear that my marriage is no charity project. My wife is not a mangy stray puppy I decided to feed, or a soap-opera character who needed a manic pixie dream girl to save her from her own tragedy. She is the love of my life. So maybe it’s time for me to make a few things clear. If anyone is owed gratitude for being in this relationship, it’s my wife.
