TERF's idea of gender: boolean values

Gender, actually: float values

re: Selfie, eye contact 

@MadokaMeowgica@snouts.online And you're still rocking it.

re: being a tran among women 

@TrannyOakley@queer.party In my experience, people are Way more accepting of that kinda stuff after they've gotten to know you as a person.

With Normie guys, I like to play up the fact I'm popular with women first, have some laughs, and then go into Transgirls, transmen, and cismen and how they're all different.
And then there's the Forbidden Genders.

Gender stuff, Fluidity 

I'm just having to accept that part of my dysphoria is a pre-existing sort of hormonal issue.
If I'm up and active and working and feeling secure in my Job, and feeling muscle growth and all that, I end up psychologically reinforced in all the things I Value about masculine existence.

But for three weeks Kerithe has been more or less excluded from occupying the meatsuit, because she can't deal with the physical sensation.

She likes the body better when we're calm, and quiet and doing focused, careful work. She wants to try Estrogen and make some changes to our lifestyle so she can be more comfortable being Soft and sensitive and considerate and sedate when she needs or wants to be.

So it's made me really re-examine why I feel the way I do about mainstream human gender, because I value stuff about myself that's a Contradiction from the Binary viewpoint, but makes for a much more Whole person when that need for definition and exclusion is taken away.

I never felt like my body ever really Decided on male or female going thru puberty. My desires swing all over the place based on how I'm feeling, and follow trends. I know what the hell I am, but there's no polite word for it in English.
Zwitter comes close, in German.

I'm not about to appropriate the Two-Souls thing because we're really Three in here.

And, like... It's hard to consider yourself Trans when you were sorta this way in the First place, and Puberty/Society dropped the ball.

For me, Being Trans... Was the last fifteen years of my Life. I was trying Really hard to pass as a normal cishet engineer boy, and did everything I could to do that and retain my principles and soul. It was a mistake to try and Be a specific thing to fit in.
To get respect.
To get a feeling of Belonging.

I was always a hermaphrodite, something that was Both things and neither of those things. A slur for everyone else, but an identity for Me.

*Preparing to do a personal inventory and systems check*
Okay! boot-up is almost complete, time to spin the wheel of gender!
*Lands on Free Spin*
Well fuck.

@void Keri: Feel you on that former bad guy angle.
90% of what I end up Doing is saying 'Yes, that's a clever idea and all, but you forgot that around 15-20% of humans are Bastards.

Periodic friendly reminder that there are bad people in this world and sometimes treating someone as your enemy is spot fucking on.

The answer to 1200 new jackasses in the fedi is not a warm handshake and caring understanding. That kind of mistake you pay a price for.

Signed,

A Former Bad Person

@shoutcacophony@anticapitalist.party
And some of us tried to be engineers and the Old Ways jumped up and hauled us back to the flower farm.
Then again, I'm only White in the winter.

Short answer: I'm pansexual

Long answer: I'm multiple system and polygender and everyone in here is hetero-romantic while also being homosexual.

:cannabis_leaf: drug talk 

@robin@snouts.online I experience the same kinda clarity.

And it makes certain types of visualization easier

@cozykaffe@snouts.online wait till budgie is open again?

gender stuff 

maybe dont use “cis” as a way to generalize folx for laughs when u have plenty of queer cis peers that now have to reckon with ur need to make a joke no one is gonna laugh at anyway

to them this can reinforce a “you’re not queer enough” thing and hey maybe lets not legitimize that deeply unture thought for our friends yeah?
“but im not responsible for that” maybe, but tbh it’s up to u i guess, just dont make it hard for other people yeah? everyones doin their best

Co worker: I'm just trying to zone out.

Me, with a dissociative condition: cool, I'm trying to like... Not.

Consider:
Instead of "jesus fucking christ"
You could "ada fucking lovelace"

@coda I'm actually working on ways to turn this on its head.

Intent without words

“autistic culture is having to find a way to come to terms with the fact that your own communication will always be judged solely by your specific word choices, but that you will always be expected to only hear other peoples' intention regardless of their word choices.”

Brain: hey. You know how you've been feeling masculine and secure and stuff lately?
Me: yeah, it's actually kinda nice.
Brain: well too bad, now you're feeling emotionally needy and squishy and vulnerable.
Me: gee, that is really inconvenient.

@GlitterDisaster@snouts.online that's why I bought a normal looking car with a trans V8
