#age and experience

[rivetgoth]

It's honestly crazy that discussion around testosterone HRT skews so much towards the beginning stages of it (to the point that you have dozens of guys thinking their transition is "failed" if they don't pass by like a year in lol) and what the initial changes of the first couple of months to years look like, like the classic laundry list of those early basic changes like bottom growth, voice drop, etc, when IMO literally none of that compares remotely to the depth and intensity of the long term total masculinization you start to experience like 3-5+ years in.

i don't really like when people say dungeon meshi is accidentally good autistic representation, because while i understand not wanting to make conclusions without explicit confirmation from the author, there's always the weird assumption that non-western authors somehow don't know about things like neurodivergency/queerness/etc. (on top of the assumptions that east asian authors are somehow more naive or oblivious to "western" social issues).

but anyways, the chapter "perfect communication" in ryoko kui's "terrarium in a drawer" is some of the most straightforward autistic representation I've seen, and from now on I'm going to assume that laios's character writing is absolutely intentional in that regard:

Embracing Sacrifice: A Journey of Growth and Determination

What sacrifices have you made in life? Growing up, life was a series of sacrifices. From saving for a house to forgoing non-essential desires to secure the car or the vacation we dreamed of, sacrifice was a constant companion. It wasn’t just about denying ourselves; it was about strategically setting aside immediate pleasures for long-term gains. Each sacrifice was a step towards a better…

To be honest, the "Old people are conservative" thing is often about the fact that rich people make it to old age. People with shit medical care don't. There isn't actually a lot of evidence that the same people are liberal in youth and conservative in old age.
