@starryblush@witches.town @typhlosion @shoofle ...you just said what I was trying to compose, but better <3
@starkatt @shoofle @starryblush@witches.town well it's not paralyzing to the point that it's keeping me from even learning, because learning is very important to me! it's just tough to feel like i'm properly "getting into" it, i suppose - tough to know where to start, because jumping right in headfirst feels like it'd both be overwhelming and make me feel like i'm just pretending most of the time
@typhlosion @starryblush@witches.town @shoofle As far as identity stuff goes the best advice I have is to surround yourself with people who share the things that you feel might be resonant but you're not Enough of. Having possibility models --seeing that these things are actually things people can be -- is crucial.
@shoofle @starryblush@witches.town @typhlosion Seeing how people live those things is also important for seeing the diversity in what being That can mean in practice. The dominant narratives make it seem like it's 100% That Thing in all ways all the time, but nobody ever is.
