“good genes check” ~> “ego check”
what i said was with intentions of complimenting my effervescent, beautiful mum honestly.
but reflecting upon it has brought me to a state of cringing at how egotistical & privileged it sounds.
so heres a refresh & an ego check.
“good genes check” is extremely ignorant to say as a person fitting pretty well into societal standards, being white, slim & pretty.
i have white privilege & pretty privilege no doubt, and saying this just isnt at all dismantling that.
all genes are good genes, or maybe theres just no perfect adjective for genes at all, every single person alive is a genetic masterpiece in their individual way.
anyways, im sorry for using words that enforce bullshit standards & inequality ✌️🦋 love2u
