Ramble
@Motodrachen The ability to be completely free of constraints, and act as the person I know I have always been.
Other people who share in the identity help a lot. I have never found a group of people I have felt such an immense emotional connection to. I have always wanted to belong somewhere and now I feel like I do.

He draws stuff people here will find... of interest.
Sometimes I feel like I'm not queer enough to belong here.
And then I remember that I found myself pausing at Furpoc's bathrooms, unsure if I should use the men's room, considering I was Kerithe at the time, and wearing a dress and leggings.
She opted for the mens room anyways because she'd been using it all con and every previous con, why stop Now?
So this shook up my spiritual beliefs quite a bit. I'd been convinced that while I was allowed in the temple of the goddess, I was prohibited from the rituals.
Then Kerithe shows up with the damn Spellbook, it's heavily annotated, and she starts going Through the damn thing, trying every single damn one of them and they Work when She does them!
And then she looks at me, sticks her Tongue out and tells me that it's not the Meatsuit holding me back.
So I have the inverse problem most of y'all have. I was okay(ish) with being Male for thirty years or so. This year that all changed and I've had to be okay with the fact that sometimes I'm possessed by my rehabilitated evil twin sister.
And she's the above type of woman. And her charisma score is Double mine. And her theme song is the chili peppers' "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" as covered by Primus.
And she's actually really proud at how much 'Transition' she can freehand if she wants.
I have a trouble because all the women I looked up to as a Child were Big, tall, strong, self-assured and took pride in the fact they lived just like the men did.
The problem with That as your model for femininity is that by all major indicators according to that system... I'm already a woman.
Mainstream social signaling is... Optional when you have a Fae spirit in you that just IS an extroverted woman. How do I know?
She can chat up a lesbian at a gamestop and all but get her number.
Ohhhh. And Autism. So bloody much autism in this skull.
And the problem with treating Autism is that you have to treat it with magic that works inside the autistic person's head.
It doesn't have to work any where else or make sense, but magic words or thoughts backed up by Ritual can seriously push away an overstim panic attack because you're on a long grocery trip and a little kid two isles over has started Screaming.
Also, as a Dragon I feel like That's kinda the most important thing about me.
I'm powerful, intelligent, ancient, magical, sexy, and I can take on a bunch of Other shapes but there's always something that gives me away as a Dragon.
I can be ego-maniacal, arrogant, forceful and Dangerous too. Mostly I live with other Predators, and don't get along with most other dragons.
And it's a challenge just feeling Human sometimes. Forget a gender of human, sometimes just the basics are Tough.
Kerithe: I wonder if there's a way to make positivity and healthy behavior into something insidious and corrupting.
Hear me out on this one, Evil has always had an Edge because they always manage to be Sexier than the good guys in one way or another, and you end up falling to the dark side because they have Cookies.
Tohri: You're talking about Religion again.
Keri: ...Yeah that but not inherently Fucked and... Well, see Evil being seductive as per above.
