To All The Hyper-Sensitive Millennials, Before Y'all Get Triggered

Sorry not sorry.

To All The Hyper-Sensitive Millennials, Before Y'all Get Triggered
Adriana Gil

I get the movement for equality. I get the movement for accepting everyone and everything. I get that we are trying to make progress to a better world, but some of you need to be stopped.

You're taking it too far. We went from trying to accept things to everyone becoming highly sensitive to everything! I can't even address a group of people as "guys" or "dudes" without being told that I'm not being "inclusive." I literally address my mom as "dude" sometimes. It should NOT be THAT deep.

I just want to know how we got so sensitive as a society. I mean, y'all are even going after Santa Claus! Santa Claus!!! Like you guys really went there.

Oops, I referred to you all as "guys." I'm not sorry.

And I get that this might come off as ignorant, but it's really not. I just think that we should not get overly sensitive about everything in the world.

For example, don't ruin someone's gender reveal, because it doesn't fit to what you want. I get that you might not want to label everyone into a specific "gender" before their born, but if you actually want to accept everyone, maybe you should accept that others will not agree with you on everything.

I don't think that someone being excited about having a little boy or a little girl is a bad thing. Them being excited about the gender does not mean that if their child grows up wanting to be another gender or not classified as a specific gender overall, that they won't accept that.

Not everyone wants to be in a box, and that's what a lot of people are trying to promote. Though, when you do one thing, the same people that don't want to label, are the first ones to.

I am all for being inclusive and being accepting, but I'm not for the sensitivity that everyone has indulged in and the tip-toeing around conversations.

So when you get “triggered" by something, think about why it's “triggering" you. Think about why the other person might not understand. Think about if it's reasonable to even get “triggered."

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing!
