trans thoughts, history 

Oh sweet jiminy christmas, I misread the year on that batch of files. I was showing clear and obvious signs (in retrospect) all the way back in 2011!!

How the fuck did it take me so long? o..O

trans thoughts, history, trauma 

I can remember crying myself to sleep one night in late 2014 because I'd "never have breasts" and chalking it up to the one of the stages of grief I was going through - an "if only I'd been different I could have kept him" kind of thing. Hard to pin down further because of all the damaged memories I have for that year. It was definitely tripped by someone's comment about their own transition desires, though.

trans thoughts, history 

I've been going back through old chat logs for various reasons trying to refresh my memories about a few things. As far as I can figure out, around 2013 I really started expressing the beginnings of genderfeels, and by 2014 it was well underway. Then 2014... happened... and I fell back into my shell for the next couple of years.

I'm just about positive I would have had the realization about one to two years earlier without all the trauma that happened.

Like, right now I'm wearing leggings and a skirt and a hoodie and this just feels SO GOOD.

I fucking love skirts.

move always closer 

Did I really imagine someone saying "It sounds like maybe you have something of the same situation going on" to me simply so that I could refute it? Did my brain bring it up just so that I could shake my head and say no, my own issues are species-related, never gender?

move always closer 

Strangest of all is that I now have the log in front of me, and a thing that I remember isn't there. It didn't happen. And yet it's something that I remember clearly, and something that was a prelude to my own trans realizations...

...did I imagine that it happened then?

move always closer 

I think I found the very first time I ever told someone "Move always closer to the truest you." I'm pretty sure it was the first, because it wasn't quite right, I said "Move always to be closer to the truest you."

I also accidentally dredged up a shit-ton of memories in the process, and realized that the whole situation with That Monster pushed my trans realizations back by something like two entire years. I was so _close_ to starting to ask the right questions back then...

The fifth annual Gender Census is now open until 1st March 2018!

smartsurvey.co.uk/s/gendercens

It's for anyone whose genders (or lack thereof) aren't described by the M/F binary. It's pretty short and easy, and the results are useful in academia, business, and self-advocacy.

Beer Commercial Idea 

[Brad is leaving a house party. He is clearly drunk.]
B: No, no, I'm cool to drive, it's cool everything's cool...
[Brad stumbles to his car, gets in. He begins to drive away, stalling in 1st gear repeatedly]
[There's a loud crunch! Brad looks up. He hasn't hit anything. His engine has been crumpled flat to the street by HANS BUDWEISER (basically Pepsiman in lederhosen)]
B: Whoa! Hans Budweiser?! Are you taking me to the Ultimate Party?!
[Hans merely yodels. He pulls Brad from the car and beats him senseless in the street]
Overlay Text: "Budweiser. Drink responsibly. Or we'll find you."
[In the background, Hans can be seen kicking the door of the house party in. Muffled yodeling and screams of terror play]

Aaand I'm out of the great designer search. Ah, well.

Thank you all for your thoughts and sympathies earlier today. They're appreciated, even if I wasn't in much condition to respond.

“The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a bunny in the depths of an ether binge. And I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon. Probably at the next gas station.”

dreams, that monster (---) 

dreamed about him again. he contacted me out of the blue and said hi and gave me a song recommendation to listen to. like nothing ever happened. like everything had always been okay. I confronted him about contacting me when he had agreed not to and he was evasively apologetic. he used the wrong pronouns for me and I told him to stop, then he said something like "yeah, but I played a girl character first" and I woke up with a hole in me again

dreams, military, ww2 

Overslept, had strange dreams of trying to prevent a disaster in Munich in 1944-5 via a college professor's time travel experiments on a seaside military base. So you know how hard it is to fake a passport that old?

That was weird.

vain, hrt 

...It helps if I remember to _take_ them though. <..<
