America what the fuck man

hey guys I can't be the only one feeling like I'm actually going insane just from the state of the world right now. like the disconnect between how mundane my current life is versus all the chaos that's happening only a few states away from me is just an incredibly bizarre feeling, and ik consuming constant doomscroll content is so so bad mentally but there's this weird guilty feeling that keeps me from stopping like I always have to be in the know.

idk what the point of this ramble even is and it's probably just a cry for help, but man I am so tired and just want a sense of normalcy to return

cant even have a cute moment........

In response to your question about the incel to queer pipeline:

I wasn't an incel exactly, but getting there, and then I became a trans woman. I think it was because there was no version of masculinity I found appealing, and the idea of being a man in a relationship filled me with dread. I hadn't even been properly attracted to anyone through to my early twenties, and it made me really lonely.

This turned into heavy resentment for queer people, because they were living lives I desperately wanted to emulate, but felt I couldn't. I remember saying to one of my friends "these fucking non-binary people, I swear. What do they mean they don't want to be normal genders? I wish I was woman, but that doesn't make me one!"

Anyways, now I spend a lot of time learning new partners' favourite baked good recipes, and sometimes I hold hands and blush. Crazy how things work out.

I do like the universal experience of "the moment I accepted myself my life instantly became better"

the terminally online incel -> terminally online queer (and most likely not cis) pipeline is something I keep seeing and I'm wondering if there's anyone that fits this trope & why you think it is?? it's something that's legit fascinated me for so long like how do u swing so hard into the other direction

American idiot by green day came up during karaoke so we handed the mic to the only queer guy in the group

I think about the theory in how you're never more than 6 degrees removed from someone in the world, and the best example of this was finding out one of my long time internet friends actually went to college with human pet guy/cybersmith AND had the pleasure of rejecting him from a job interview post grad
