So, there are no gender neutral bathrooms in the entire building my class is in. So I’m trying to figure out how to choose which bathroom to go into.

I figure that unless I’m feeling ✨the gender✨, I’ll just go with whatever my clothes that day are leaning towards.

The issue is, what about days when my clothes are as neutral as my gender?

Fun fact: I’m low-key scared of organized religion. I’d blame the fact that I went to catholic school to the end of third grade…

But the real reason is that telling other people how to worship, even when believing in the same god, feels gross. Like, major ick. Why are you doing that?

I appreciate the community aspect that happens in healthy centers of religion tho.

There are two beasts within me: one wants to shave my head, the other wants epically long hair. My queer soul is forcing them to co-exist in peace for as long as possible. Specially in the form of a mullet.

But by the gods do I need a haircut. My ends are crispy, my floof is floppy, and my fade is puffy. None of these are wanted.

I love this so much

A while back my pharmacist saw my deadname on my profile and accidentially called it out, he corrected and deleted my deadname from the system so only my preferred name shows up now. There was a crowd of people behind me, so as he hands over the pills he apologized, in equal tone and volume as when he called my deadname and lied saying it's been a long day and he didn't mean to call out -his own- name. I quietly told him it was fine and he didn't need to do that for my sake.

His response: "No, it's my name now."

I went to the pharmacist yesterday, his nametag is my deadname. He informed me he's immigrating and in the process he's changed his first name to my deadname to have an English sounding name. That's why he's now able to get a reprint of his nametag to be my deadname. And repeated, with the intense seriousness of someone who is going to die on this hill: "It's mine now. Not yours. I'm taking." His tone indicated that decision is final.

Bro literally deadnamed me once, and has committed to flat out stealing my deadname. It's his now. Legally. Officially. I over heard his co-workers call him by the name.

There needs to be more Seer Ron Weasley content. And Ron/Luna. And just more Ron Weasley content in general. I also need some more Bad Parent Molly Weasley. For the mooDs

I finally figured out my stance on opening the door topless: When I’m feeling masculine, I don’t care; when I’m feeling feminine, I’ll grab a shirt or something before answering the door.

It’s like, when I’m fem, mentally I have boobs, and I showing someone my boobs -nips and all- is largely considered sexual, so I cover up.

But when I’m masc, mentally I have no boobs, no reason to cover up if it’s not cold outside. Plus, scars are considered manly and being topless means I get to show mine off.

Basically, it boils down to emotional nakedness and the fact that female nipples are considered sexual while male nipples aren’t.

The Context: I’m an afab bigender person who has had top surgery. Largely growing up a girl I wasn’t allowed to go around topless, but post surgery I suddenly had this new privilege to explore and exploit. And while I will never answer the door in just my underwear, I didn’t have a firm answer on whether or not I’d do it without a shirt on.

He’s ReAL

earth fact time. SOME GOOD NEWS!!! the spix's little blue macaw, which has been extinct in the wild for 22 years, have now come back into their home in brazil!

in 2022, 52 captive-bred birds were released back into the wild! they're one of the rarest birds in the world, with only 250 or so in captivity. as of now, the macaws are still alive in the wild and doing well! they also return daily to the spix's macaw release centre to visit their captive flockmates.

if you think they look familiar, they're the same species as blu from the movie rio.

I want to draw this but I’m bad at people. The shirt would be oversized and he would be sticking his arms out to show off all the bracelets and he’d be bouncing in place a little from excitement. Grinning ear to ear with happy tears freely trickling down his face.

The only thing remotely close to a person I can draw is a Chibi and the only time I’ve done fan art is when I need to see Tony in a skirt and killer heels so bad I drew it myself.

imagine peter doesn’t know what to get mister stark as a gift from his Europe trip with his class. so he gets a ton of cheap little things.

Tony wearing 30 beaded bracelets, holding six mini figurines, wearing a shirt with misspelled words, crying.

“He got me trinkets! Look, Rhodes, the kid got me trinkets!”

Gender is an illusion. We assign genders based on expectations based on appearances. So when someone tells you they aren’t the gender you assumed they were, it’s them saying fuck you to expectations and defining their own illusion. Because that’s what identity is, the appearance we cultivate for the perception of ourselves and others; the words we use to verbalize concepts of ourselves to others.

And hey, if gender is an illusion, that makes trans people magic. 🪄🦄

I’m aegosexual and my girlfriend is ace flux and hypersexual

Asexual labels explained using cereal

You are in a kitchen, opening a pantry door. It contains every brand of cereal in existence.

Libido- How hungry you are

Sexual Attraction- How appealing each cereal is to you

Sex-Repulsed- The mere act of eating cereal disturbs you. You flee the kitchen to watch Netflix instead.

Sex-Indifferent- Someone brings you a bowl of cereal. Even though you don’t crave cereal, you decide to eat some anyway. Maybe because you want the person to feel happy you’re eating something they provided you. Maybe you’re just that hungry. Regardless, you’re fine with eating it since it’s already there. If it wasn’t, you wouldn’t care either.

Sex-favorable- Though you don’t particularly crave cereal, the act of eating cereal is enjoyable. So enjoyable, you go through the trouble of picking a brand to eat.

Asexual with low/no libido- You are rarely hungry, and none of the cereal appeals to you.

Asexual with average/high libido- You are often hungry, but none of the cereal appeals to you.

Aegosexual-  Eating cereal sounds fun in theory but not in practice. You certainly have no interest in eating cereal yourself. You’d rather fantasize about other people eating cereal, thankyouverymuch. 

Gray Asexual- You only like Lucky Charms and Apple Jacks. And maybe Fruity Pebbles but you’re not quite sure.

Demisexual- You see a box of Trix. You are familiar with the rabbit on the box, due to the commercials you’ve seen. You always sympathized with the rabbit for never getting any Trix. There are things in life you’ve wanted but have never gotten. You feel a bond with the rabbit. Suddenly that box of Trix looks tasty.

Fraysexual- You see a box of Cocoa Puffs. You have never heard of Cocoa Puffs in your life. But something about it is oh-so-appealing. You pour yourself a bowl. As you start to eat, you catch a commercial for Cocoa Puffs on TV. You now know what the mascot on the box is like. You lose interest in Cocoa Puffs for reasons you cannot explain.

Lithosexual- You notice a box of Fruit Loops. You feel an urge to eat it. Toucan Sam comes to life and asks you to eat them. This makes you uncomfortable, so you leave to watch Netflix with the sex-repulsed ace.

Reciprosexual- You have no interest in any of the cereal. Not even that box of Frosted Flakes. But Tony the Tiger shows up wanting you to eat the Frosted Flakes. Now that he wants you to eat Frosted Flakes, you want to eat Frosted Flakes. 

Cupiosexual- You want to eat cereal, but none of the cereal looks appealing. Maybe if you grab that box of Corn Flakes, it’ll become appealing to you later? It’s happened to other people. You consider grabbing that box of Corn Flakes, just in case.

Orchidsexual- Some of the cereal looks appealing, but you have no interest in eating cereal.

Aceflux- None of the cereal looks good, so you close the pantry. A few days later, you decide to open the pantry again. Now, some of those brands look appetizing. You check the pantry again the next day. None of the cereal looks good anymore.

Quoisexual- You have no idea if you like a cereal because you want to eat it, or if you just think the box art is pretty. Does liking the box art count as wanting to eat it? Do you just like the mascot? Does liking the mascot count as wanting to eat the cereal? After reading everything I’ve written, you are still confused. You bang your head against the pantry in frustration.
