Hormones, gender
I can deal with being rampantly horny all the time.
I can deal with being Aggressive and intense as a default setting.
I can even deal with the subtle psychological reinforcement as the Testosterone goes thru and urges me on.
The constant feeling of Muscle is what's getting to me. Like, I enjoy being Strong, but I can feel all my muscles lately and it makes me feel twice the size I really am.
And that's a weirdass feeling. Like I feel physically secure but for all the wrong reasons and TBH I was getting psychologically ready to be a lot more Femme.
And it's hard to feel femme when you're suffused with the feeling of being a biological Forklift.
HRT question
So, I'm here. I want a somewhat different body, but I put a lot of work into loving the one I have. And I do love a lot about it, just that when you mix up a car and a truck, you can get an SUV, or something like an el Camino.
I've been having to accept that I'm an SUV wishing I was an el camino
HRT question
Is Spiro like, crucial if most of the time you're okay with your testosterone levels and related physical attributes, but want to have the feminine attributes as well?
Like, after a lot of introspection I realized I'd be most comfortable with a body that was Both, not an in-between. And that there wasn't a clear path to take.
And all I'd ever wanted was a definition I could believe in and feel I was living, not just trying to live up to.
So I lived it and saw where it got me.

Self improvement in the age of criminal empire feels like bread and circuses.
I'll feel better once it all Burns and we have real problems to solve. Fuck Alabama. Fuck the GOP and fuck boomers.
And really, fuck society. Nothing changes if the good guys try and be sensible in the face of organized Evil
Today I looked up what "career" means, because the commonly accepted definition quite literally sucks.
So, the actual definition of career is "the path one person has to learn and improve themselves" and it has nothing much to do with work.
Until capitalists corrupted it and made it about work only, and arbitrary promotions, that are not based on actual improvements, but power structures and used to create competition between employees.
But if you learn knitting as a hobby, that's a career.
Gender musing
I'm starting to realize that the Non-binary designation just kinda... Doesn't cover it for me.
That and there's three folks in here now so the situation is non-binary to begin with.
And folks consider Herm a slur, but it's what I kinda Am. I experience Both being a Man and being a Woman, sometimes at the same time.
And not just Sexually or in terms of body image. Kerithe's Womanhood is almost totally detached from physicality. Tohri's Masculinity is more of an Ethos than anything.
And TBH I was a boy raised with the full expectation that I'd be a Mom on the Flower Farm, and if I'd been Actually transmale, I'd have wanted my money back for that Puberty.
So, physically I'm Not-Quite-Male. Emotionally I'm so much of a girl I was never accepted by the 'Real Men'. At the same time, I threaten those Real Men because I can sling wrenches harder and faster than they can, and hear the whispers of the machine god.
And with Women, they get the wrong impression at First sometime, then end up identifying me as 'Gay best Friend' and I end up just kinda letting myself slide into that slot unless Keri is out.
Then it's Disaster Lesbian Theater.
article: "Artist alleys exist in a precarious legal gray area, where major corporate IP owners are not enforcing their rights over infringement but could begin to at any time."
me: alright, that's what I figured
article: "This is a huge problem that harms these corporations and fans have a responsibility to refuse to buy from unlicensed artists."
me: oh wait fuck you.
Like was complimented by strangers Twice outta the blue, feeling super confident and Very centered, looking fantastic, and still, like...
This is great and everything. Why does it feel like I'm doing it left-handed?
That feel when you're so very very queer that you don't really consider yourself part of the queer community because you're too busy just kinda Doing it. o_o
Like, I spent today in boston in a kilt, hawaiian teeshirt, and sparkly purple dragonscale leggings to see a certain rainbow hellbeast and watch Eurovision, and still felt somehow I was getting something fundamentally incorrect.
Or like I went the long way around and I'm hetero with a universal adapter on.
