What does it take to be comfortable around people while in a crop top? Itβs crazy to me that people can like just wear sports bras. I donβt mind how my belly looks, but I donβt want other people looking at it. Augh.
I donβt like when my computer goes into power saving mode while I am watching a scary YouTube video leaving me alone in the darkness 
i think im off to read wlw fanfics in my bed before falling asleep, goodnight everyone. 
@ashinadash@hexbear.net So itβs been a while since Iβve finished a book (yay adult ADHD) but funny enough I actually know about Manhunt and other modern trans classics from this one booktuber I watch sometimes. I thought you might be interested in her content: she goes by Willow Talks Books on youtube.
I have a question for the trans mascs in the thread. What kinds of things do you like to do for gender euphoria? I have lived my life up until now as a man and I have very few ideas of things a trans guy/masc would want to do. Just wondering, nothing serious.
Late Night Nevada Posting:
But still, Maria is like, I'm supposed to have some kind of insight? Here is my insight: gender is stupid and annoying and I don't want to talk about it any more ever.

Kate Bornstein was right when she said none of this gender stuff is real, but she didn't go far enough. All of this gender stuff is stupid and it's so complicated that it's impossible to make sense of.
she jus like me fr fr
Been talking to this girl who's pretty cool, and while I'm just aiming to be friends ATM, there's an inkling of a crush. But I don't know if it's even fair to pursue a relationship with someone when my best friend will always be my highest priority in life. I already have someone I want to grow old with, and while she's not capable of reciprocating romantic feelings, I'm okay with that.
Okay trying to limit myself to just one to avoid flooding the mega when you unspoiler the text, but did some dress gazing during lunch and I must dresspost
::: spoiler Dressposting So this is one that I love but definitely wouldn't buy for myself since I don't think it suits me, Infanta's Deep Sea Mermaid JSK, specifically version 2 since the original lacks the bit I want to gush about
So this is the dress! I adore how they created the 'scales' for it to imply the mermaid tail rather than just go for nautical theming like every other mermaid dress tends to (including the first version of this one, hence my preference for this version). The scales add such a nice depth to the dress and I love them so much.
That's not to say there isn't other nautical theming to it, the bust is obviously a shell motif and I like how that calls to mind the stereotypical mermaid shell-bra motif without bringing attention to the cleavage and risk sexualising it. Instead you get the larger single shell and some pearls to bring in even more nautical aesthetics.
The roses might be a bit of a departure from that aesthetic, but they provide a good colour complement to the dark blue and the roses on the bow look like they're trying to vaguely be shaped like a fish? Idk might just be me looking into it too much.
God and the blouse! I almost want to buy this blouse on its own it's so pretty. I don't really have much to say about it I just really like it.
Overall the dress is just a very cute take on a mermaid dress that looks good from every angle, I like it.
dysphoria, boy mode, depression
Daily body aches and pains are especially bad today and have been pretty horrible all week.
Financial stress hit me hard this morning. Boy mode/manager part is trying to do it's thing.
Two days until clinic appointment. Feeling anxious. Hopeful.
And overwhelmed generally.
Hiding in bed because I'm afraid I'll be cranky with my very sweet girlfriend. Eating edibles and melatonin and prescription adrenaline blockers I take for nightmares.
Listening to the trainspotting playlist on InnerTune.
Neck is tight as fuck. Self harming thoughts not too bad. No SI. Occasional urges towards self harm but they seem pretty controlled by the medication.
Right now giving myself permission to just ride out these last few days in a depressive little bubble. I did some chores this morning and tried to take care of things. I feel good about that.
Napped after, slept bad and woke up in more pain than when I went to sleep. It is starting to feel like a pattern and I feel really sad and not very much hope for my body to ever stop hurting me all the time.
I think my posture when playing the keyboard is fucked.
Whenever I practice for an extended period of time my back starts to hurt and I have to lie down.
I'm five chapters into The Left Hand of Darkness. I'm liking it so far, thoughts below.
minor spoilers
This book suffers from a unique form of that common sci-fi phenomena in which people's imagination of the future is limited by their understanding of the present β in that unlike a lot of sci-fi where that applies to technology, in here it applies to gender. Like, this is a book set somewhere in the far future where us Terrans have relinquished the idea of the nation-state altogether (communism moment? idk) and yet the protagonist is still stuck in conceiving sex and gender as purely binary.
Like, the whole point of the book is the protagonist being baffled by the unique sex characteristics of the Gethenians. It's a spec fic story with the premise of "hey what if there was a society of people who only exhibit primary sex characteristics once a month." But of course in so far a future in which nation-states have been dissolved for like thousands of years, I living in 2024 find it hard to believe that Genly Ai would have never come across an intersex and/or nonbinary and/or trans person. In this book there are interstellar insta-communication devices; I feel like by that point we probably would have worked out ways to modify the primary sex characteristics for trans people.
I'm not criticizing Le Guin here; this book was published in 1969. I'm just thinking of what a LHoD would look like if it was written today, where the concept of being nonbinary or intersex is much more widely known.
Currently on this goofy webzone trying to see if I can become even more en bee (or more likely if it'd be useful to link to others)
There is a lil ring of websites like this, kinda cute.
