We accept all identities but not the animalistic core of identity, the smell.
People can dress however they want but they cannot smell however they want.
It makes sense because we can look away or close our eyes. It still says something about the limits of acceptence.
it ain't that deep bro
Just put on the fucking deodorant
Fuck blanket acceptance of odors. A slogan on a t-shirt or a bunch of piercings or a vibrant hair color don't have the power to make me physically ill, but odors can and do.
If smell is an identity then I'm bigoted against people who smell like dumpsters.
