Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
autism discussion
Was inspired by all the 'tism talk in the mega to retake the tests on Embrace Autism again. I took them a few years ago, scored in the autistic range, got further confirmation by a psychiatrist who agreed that I probably am autistic, and basically forgot about it. Honestly, out of all my various neurodivergencies, I feel like my autism is the one that causes me the least pain and distress. I despise my OCD and my ADHD, but my autism? My autism is cool.
Anyways, I scored 34 on AQ, 154 on RAADS-R, and to my surprise, 102 on CAT-Q??? I guess I mask a lot less than I thought I did. Maybe that's why I struggle a lot socially, lol. I definitely don't relate to the common autistic experience of following a social "script", though I do try my best to be nice. My experience with trying to socialize with people in-person (especially in school settings) is that I will have a nice, friendly first meeting, and then those people will just... not be friends with me, and become friends with other people instead. I wonder if I just subconsciously radiate those autistic vibes, lol.
Anybody else have a bit of a rough time with epilators (other than the pain, of course)? I find that often, especially on my arms, the hair seems to grow back pretty quickly. I'm thinking that while some of the hairs are being pulled out, others are snapping, therefore making it similar to shaving them. Is there any way to get them to come out instead of snapping, or should I just do upkeep with the epilator in hopes that these hairs will eventually come out?
Just woke up and I feel like shit but also better than last night. Literally as soon as I got in bed and started listening to music I just fell asleep, barely any time to listen to it, but I was hoping to just nap a little so I forgot to do all the actual pre-sleep stuff I usually do so my mouth tastes like shit and I feel a touch dehydrated.
mental health talk, specifically anxiety
It's funny, I used to think I didn't really have an anxiety disorder, but now I think it's staring me in my face and I have to face it. I'm not going to get better just trying to deny that it exists. It's affecting my relationships with people, especially since I have horrible anxiety around texting, and that's the main communication channel everyone uses. Getting a panic attack whenever I see a notification that someone texted me and then leaving it unread for weeks because just thinking about it will cause another panic attack is... really just not conducive for modern existence.
My anxiety is also definitely connected to my ADHD and what I suspect is C-PTSD. I get really bad RSD and I experience a ton of shame, which feeds back into the anxiety and makes it worse. I'm honestly a huge mess mental health-wise, it's kind of embarrassing lol.
would anyone like to synchronize screaming into a pillow? i don't really have a good reason to be doing so but that doesn't matter. all motivations welcome
I hate when I succumb to the worst urges of Online and then regret it, always feels like shit. at least I usually manage to sober up and do a bit of self crit and delete the Bad posts. sometimes I feel like posting is bad for me lol and I should just write in a journal or some shit. i guess everyone's susceptible to it and it's gonna happen from time to time. I like to think this site is better for me than like, twitter or whatever which I don't have anymore. and I think it's a fair thing to think. but maybe I should try take a week off or smth, I've been scrolling and posting a whole lot. love all my trans comrades π
I had some valerian root tea and an edible. I'm hoping it kicks in soon as I wanna go to bed early tonight. And by early I mean by 1:30ish instead of like 3 or later like I've been doing the last few nights
went to a wrestling show last night and got to talk to the champion who was still in character after the show. he let me hold the belt and now i feel like i want to add a replica championship belt to my outfits
laser session 8 done. should really stop booking them on days when the weather's good and i want to be outside
I need to go cute clothes shopping. I have a lot of normal boring almost-unisex clothes that I look super cute in, and some dresses that wouldn't look out of place in a church, and a lotta flannel and sports bras. I need to have a cute, modern arc.
So many fucking libs showing there asses for the the vapid empty souls completely sidling Gaza and accusing lefty people of βmuh divisionβ βcanβt get things done like thatβ Im going to scream
Apparently my prolactin has more than doubled since the last bloodtest. Probably nothing to be concerned about, since I did have a cold when taking this most recent blood test, and I've also read that it's normal to have high prolactin when taking cypro
the author's barely disguised fetish
if you get your E levels to like 600 pg/mL is it possible for a trans girl to get pregenant? 
spoiler eating issues, no specifics though
I don't want sympathy or people trying to talk me out of it right now. I just want to let you all know that I kinda have an ed and if you see me post about my weight or how well my diet is going, you should be cautious before giving me your full support. I will try not to put any of you in that position and avoid saying something like that, but saying I have some specific issues
you know how people with eds can be. This post is part of making me not do that.

Just to not completely ruin the vibe I am actually girl chilling right now, very comfy 
a family friend visited and deadnamed me even though i quite literally shoved my tits in his face 
he wasnt trying to hurt me though, he is just a remarkably slow on the uptake. 
and i do mean slow. he seemed to take the news well enough after he finally got it
late-night nsfw navel gazing
I am having a pretty bad time doing terminology replacement for my own anatomy.
I'm pretty sure "clit" is it because honestly that's what it's most like nowadays, and none of the standard issue terms dudes use or whatever work for me. But I can't really get it burned into my skull, even though I know better consciously, it's just been too long of my brain seeing 'lil nubby thing with a slit on the end and balls under' and going "bepis!" I am going to end cisnormativity.
The main reason I'm having a bad time replacing the term is 'cause I just don't think about it that much, outside of sex, because why would I? (Maybe I should, maybe I need to better internalise the chill familiarity to myself) It's annoying because I think the only part that brings me dysphoria about it is the cisnormative connotations, grrrr. Not a big secret but actually the natal transfem clitoris, the girldick, whatever you wanna call it, it's actually kinda neat.
Sheesh this is a lot of new sexual thoughts all at once... I guess the dam kind of broke? It's good, just also a lot. I also need to get comfy with anyone else referring to it as well, that'd be good. Picking up the pieces after a decade of being really incredibly traumatised, no big.
