Terminology, Gender/Anatomy, Slurs, Open Question
@KawaSeadrake "So what exactly do you call someone who's AMAB, post-op, and identifies he/him without regret?"
Whatever they're most comfortable being called! :D
My favorite term that I've heard so far: "Vagentleman" :D
@Miffy Insofar as I understand and believe, that's a function of how we as emotional beings relate to characters in a story ♥️
I love painting the trans narrative on characters that could plausibly fit it ^^

@IrisKalmia Predictability during times of stress is definitely a good thing.
If I were you, I'd flag 3-4 days a little less than 2 weeks from now in your calendar as "pay close attention to mental state" days to see how that spike might have affected you

@IrisKalmia You can always drop it back down later if it doesn't work out-- but you won't know for 2 weeks. :x
@KawaSeadrake Yeah! It's really neat to see the things that *almost* worked from the perspective of knowing what /does/ work.
That brings up another thing that I love to think about: An average being born in the past 50 years has a base understanding of how and why an airplane flies.
An average adult being born in the past 20 years has a base understanding of how and why a computer works.
Our _base knowledge_ as a species is growing exponentially and it's just AWESOME. :D
@vahnj He calls me "Brosephine" XD
@adeptomega :D!!!
Strong recommendation: Talk to @frostcottonboll for tips. They make AMAZING chili. :9
Every now and then I like to remind myself that we only managed to create the things we now take for granted after throwing thousands upon thousands of hours of labor at trial and (mostly) error.
