Party stuff.
Everyone take a look if there are any local student encampments. I know a lot of them have special stuff going on.
Learning where my new waistline is was a game changer for fashion. My legs are sooo long when I dress them right.
I don't have to be weird about the fact that I like girly pop music and fluffy-haired zoomer boys with guitars.
But moreso, before transition I was a moody repressed teenager who was really elitist about heavy metal. Not using my consumption habits as a means to suppress my gender issues more just opened up the variety of what I was willing to expose myself to, and it turns out I like a lotta different music.
Still like metal though, just now I listen to my black metal while dressing like a demure country girl.
Dysphoria, dysmorphia, badfeels
Wake up early in the morning, have the eepy weepy morning dysphoria and dress accordingly. Baggy sweatpants and a hoodie. Invulnerability.
Go to work, the rain clears and the sun comes. It's a nice day. Drink the coffee and do the morning stretches. The Silly Funhouse Mirror Disease has abated and it's gonna be okay.

Go outside, see the pretty girls in their cute spring outfits. Imagine what could have been, had different decisions been made mere hours ago. Now the armor is tight, confining. There is nothing left to be defended but civilian life is a whole workday away. Sadness and jealousy remains. Fear once again leads to defeat.

Live by the dysphoria hoodie, die by the dysphoria hoodie.
Anarchist coworker confidently but inaccurately telling me what she thinks State and Revolution says, but I read it with my party last week so I'm able to cite chapters and paragraphs that say the opposite of what she claims.

I tried explaining PCM to a boomer friend of mine and it's a mercy that she did not seem to absorb any of the information.
more sorta off topic AMAB/AFAB essentialism
Local homeless services used to list trans people as "Trans Woman/MTF/AMAB", "Trans man/FTM/AFAB", or "Gender Non-Conforming" on all internal databases until very recently. I had to write the Joint Office many many letters and talk to many confused cis people about how unnecessary including AGAB was.
Whatever happened to knickerbockers?
