Internalized misandry (-) 

So, I grew up with a strong feminine presence in my early life.
And a LOT of weak, greedy, or otherwise failed men.
And a Lot of male peers who treated me like dirt.

So I've got, uh, Baggage. The Tohri part of me still identifies as Male, but it's hurtful for him because a lot of our friends have been Badly abuse by men and... Well, it just reinforces all the misandric shit we grew up with.

And Kerithe is probably the result of a longing for an existence with a different context. At least at First.

It makes it almost impossible to feel sexy or desirable or wanted when I'm Tohri. I feel like I need to Hide, try and be as Harmless or as invizable as possible. I know I don't have to be that way, but I'm just... I dunno, ashamed. I feel like the big gross dragon the rest of the woodland critters let into their villiage because he's helpful, but never really trusted.
