The genderqueer flag rules
Thallo
I'm with you, but I think we should be accommodating towards the people who do like them
For many, they couldn't even conceive of what they're going through until there's a word for. It can bring a feeling of safety and grounding.
⚠️To the mods who unpinned the mega⚠️
I have one message for you:
This aggression will not stand.
I'm the only one standing between you and an undulating mass of hormonal super soldiers.
I'm willing to come to the table, but even my patience has its limits.
For your sake, make the right choice.
Is that how almond milk is made?
Thanks! Cognitive techniques like this are really helpful.
Actually, I've had a lot of success with just dropping labels entirely. At the moment, I don't use the terms trans, woman, or man to describe myself.
Instead of thinking, I'm a woman, so please use she/her pronouns. I say, I like she/her pronouns so please use them. Instead of thinking, I'm trans so I should do voice training, I think, I would like a softer voice, so I want to do voice training.
In this way, there's no standard that I can fail to embody. Can't be a faker if there's nothing to fake
on topic
I had a bunch of really splendid thoughts when I was reading The Masker
That's good!
The Masker is kinda cursed
Yeah, the subject matter seems raw. Back when I was Totally Cis (tm), I "came across" sissy porn, and even back then, I was like "wow, this is kind of fucked up and misogynistic."
The idea that being feminine is inherently sexual really fucked me up and kept me from transition for a long time because I was terrified at the idea that I was playing out a fetish. I'm over it now, but there are still echoes. This is why I will avoid the book lol.
I was having a total mental breakdown at the time I posted that. Happy that something good came out of it!
Yeah, you've reached quantum levels of queer
Exactly. Queer lit has also been a game changer in this regard
It's normal to like you're faking it when nothing feels natural, I think. That changes over time (I'm sure)
This book is really hittin' you like
Really skirting the line between pain and pleasure on this one
