re: Personal, defeatism
@apow@snouts.online You're the cool sheep that draws and musics and Creates. That takes a lot of practice, and Faith in yourself. Especially in our era or Mass Creation.
And Thousands of Creators.
Don't feel defeated. The battle isn't against other musicians or creators, the competition isn't between Us.
We Create songs and stories and pictures to reinforce how the world Should be.
re: personal gender
@Lumb @tinytoydragon@snouts.online Stuff is real... Just that our idea of what constitutes a Real Thing have Shifted drastically.
Binary Gender isn't Real, it's a made up concept to enforce heteronormativity and force reproduction.
But you can Make something Real, and have it stand on it's own, with the reality you put In.

@mawr Medication changes are pretty hellish, I hope your brain chemicals settle out soon.
@mawr It's not Us, not Our Fault.
I think it's a chain reaction that's Going Off, and it's not a Biological virus, it's Memetic and tied to Malignant Narcissists.
So if you think you're getting fed on by an emotional Vampire, chances you Are.
I'm over here watching everyone I know have major personality collapses, get Furious at their Parents, or angry over the political situation.
And I'm seeing all the same symptoms. Trauma Reactions, Fear turning to unspeakable Terror, and all sorts of regressive behaviors.
I almost guarantee half the people reading this have felt like a teenager again in the last three months at least Once, and had to drink to forget.
You're Not Alone.

Trauma, healing, MH(+)
My gender stuff was comparably easy.
My deep, inner trauma from being Gaslit, less so.
This is what happens when, growing up, your Role Models are Starfleet Officers.
Your own idea of Adulthood is unattainable as long as there's Narcissists around.
And what's so bad about expecting that Human Beings can be Better than they are now, huh?
