I think the latter part of this survey is just bad.

  • Asking "at what age did you begin transition?" before any other timeline questions puts the importance and emphasis on actions taken instead of starting with self acceptance. This feels like framing I'd see from people that are less knowledgeable of the trans experience as a whole, which I know isn't the case of the people who put this together.
  • The bigger issue is the follow up question, "after you realized you were trans/gender diverse, how long did it take for you to begin to act on it?" The entire self acceptance moment of realizing you were trans is an after thought to "how long did it take to do something about it?" At no point are we asked about the first big moment in someone's transition, only relative to what many people wrongly assume is the start of a transition.

The combination of these questions in this order and nothing about the beginning of the journey is really unfortunate. I filled out the survey up until that point, but didn't feel like continuing after that. I know there's only so much that can be asked, but I don't think the way this was formatted was an issue with not having enough room for questions or overloading a survey.

You are absolutely at the worst parts of the face right now, so it really is easier from there

Hoping this is substantial and gives some (even brief) reprieve from the zionist entity

I don't think so tbh

I'm thinking about one of my favourite shows tonight

“There's nothing in this world that is ever truly decided. Birds sometimes fall out of the sky, and sometimes it snows in April. Everything is uncertain, nothing is 'unnatural.”

Tomorrow is an important day for me

Relaxing to a peaceful game of CS2

It's not news related, but I was really speechless when I played through that part the first time. A beautiful thought I come back to when times are tough

RIP deeper-sadness

the swiftest death to the zionist entity

I don't have a question to ask, but sending all the love and support I have. There are so many thinking of your situation, donating, and never letting a zionist go unchecked abroad. It pales in comparison to what's happening every day, but Palestine is never forgotten. heart-sickle

I can relate. The world really wears a girl down
