the dizzying idea of being pregnant with your f/oâs kids and for them to come out the womb looking like the spitting image of your fave. you complain of your lack of genes, but they can only boast about the fact that no one will question who knocked you up in the first place.
#this applies even if your married btw#they still get a kick out of it#i just saw this video of this woman and her baby looks nothing like her#and looks every little bit like the dad#i was indeed thinking of childe and kuroo when i wrote this#risuâs rambles â#ajax đ©âđȘ#big beefy bedhead boyfie đ©âđȘ#tw kids#tw pregnancy

Hey, X'vahl... So I was at the Landsguard barracks and I spotted a young gal with a striking resemblance >.>
Got uh... something you want to explain?
"I mean... I have kids and I was pretty young when they were born but.... exactly how old do you think I am?! I promise you she is far too old to be either of them."
"I have met her however, and she's a lovely woman... but we are not related... to my knowledge."
â
There's also a Hyur woman in Solution 9 who also looks incredibly similar to him, but it's probably just the hair
And that one random background NPC from the Crystal Tower raids (Had to dig deep to find this incredibly old shot):
(Imagine that I also uploaded a clip of Weird Al's song "Stuck in the drivethru" but just the clip where he's singing "Well he looks at me, and I look at him, and he looks at me, and I look at him, and he looks at me, and I loook at hiiiiiiiiiim!" because I tried but tumblr didn't like the file but I still really wanted to make the joke).
Oh and he has a second evil twin (since Nhaza'a is his first evil twin of course) from the Dawntrail role quest finale as well (under the cut for spoilers I guess)
"....disappointed isn't exactly the word I would use."
#to clarify: X'vahl was 19 when his kids were born.#He was a young dad.#he's 32 now.#and she looks quite a bit older than 13.#There is actually a weirdly large collection of mostly other miqo'te NPCs that look like him#and every time it happens it freaks me out a little. XD#but I actually did find her before. That first shot is at least a couple months old now XD

god i cannot wait to be off these steroidsâŠ
#marzi speaks#marzivents#<- itâs late n iâm kinda pent up abt this#iâm so TIRED of themmmm#iâm probs gonna be on them for the rest of the year. which SUCKSSS#i donât like how many ppl comment on the moon face#i donât mind it. like i look in a mirror and iâm okay.#itâs a little weird. but like. just because itâs different. like getting used to a new haircut#but every time i see someone for the first time in a bit itâs âwoah your face got rounderâ#and i have to go âoh yeah itâs water retention- steroids thing itâll go away when iâm able to go off âemâ#and they go âoh alright :) you still look good btw donât worryâ#and i just. i HATE how people talk about it!! like jfc. itâs so clear that they think itâs like kinda sad#my dad said he thinks itâs cute and heâs the only one i actually think is telling the truth there#my mom and i agree that it doesnât matter. but even then she tries to tell me not to panic#like a little extra squish in my face is something to panic over#itâs so clear that so many people see it as another thing to pity#oh poor thing. has that chronic illness for the rest of her life. and the steroids made her jaw look rounder :(#like jfc i knew fatphobia was prevalent but come the fuck on. literally iâm like barely retaining water for steroids too#like. iâm still very much skinny (i JUST finished being malnourished ffs) but bc iâm retaining water in my face#now ppl feel the need to comfort me. over this tiny cosmetic thing that does not matter#like. i wouldnât feel weird abt it if it werenât for everyone else making it such a THING. why is everyone so weird about it#iâm not insecure about it but when ppl try to comfort me or go âitâs not that badâ it makes me feel like iâm SUPPOSED to be insecure abt it#and it drives me NUTS. bc there are things about being on steroids that i would love to be comforted about#but the water retention is not one of them. i couldnât give a ratâs ass about the water retention#yâknow what iâd like to be comforted over? the mood swings. the irritability. the insomnia. the appetite fluctuation#the slow healing of skin. thinning and dryness in the skin. having to take like 3 other medications alongside the steroid#bc taking the steroid causes side effects that need to be medically treated or prevented#even outside of the steroid! iâd like some comfort about having to build back my stamina from scratch#iâd like some comfort about having the worst balance iâve had in years#thereâs. more to this. but iâm out of tags. maybe iâll make some replies idk. iâm just. UGH

Something real to me immediately post-Voyager is that both Tuvok and Janeway are looking around at their crew like âGod...these poor folks are not dealing with this transition well...â in an earnest but also slightly condescending way (as they are prone towards thinking of themselves as examples to be followed and somewhat superior to others, even if that isnât the language theyâd use/how theyâd understand themselves) but in reality they are also dealing with it extremely and visibly poorly and are thus unable to help literally anyone and everyone who sees them is like âYou guys donât seem to be doing wellâ but this flies over their heads or they think to themselves, shaking their heads sadly, âthis poor bastard...trying to say that I need help when theyâre obviously the ones suffering...thank God I donât have any problems.â
#Janeway seems like she'd earnestly want to help everyone post-Voyager#Like she'd call them and want to meet up and try to keep everyone together/keep tabs on them as best she could#Tuvok would not do this v_v#I also like the idea of others thinking that Tuvok is probably the most well adjusted but other Vulcans immediately are like 'this man has#problems. this man has so many issues. your mind is like swiss cheese.'#Janeway & Tuvok: we're the only normal people here dear friend... <- deeply traumatized and a bit insane just like everyone else on Voyager#Just wait until one of them betrays the other by suggesting maybe they're NOT as well adjusted and normal as they claim...the infighting....#I will die on the hill that Janeway & Tuvok get along so partially because they both are a little bit egotistical...mildly insufferable#<- this does not negate the fact that they are good people who earnestly care about others#I also laugh at people who think Tuvok is in any way good at talking to others...he fails at it literally every time#remember when Chakotay told him to help B'Elanna calm down and he immediately bullied her without hesitation???#remember when Harry told him he had a crush on a hologram and Tuvok told him 'stop that' before immediately forming a friendship with said#hologram??#Remember when he tried to talk with that Maquis guy and immediately got BODIED ?? Deservedly so?? HEHEHE#The only times I can remember him actually succeeding in such encounters is when he's talking about his children#<- with Samantha Wildman / Tom Paris / Neelix#Meanwhile Janeway's out here giving mommy issues to everyone she so much as looks at. Janeway's like is a mom was a disappointed dad whose#expectations you have to live up to or she's gonna be so incredibly either pissed or sad (Harry Kim knows that Seven knows that B'Elanna#lives in fear of that)#Tuvok is not necessarily a good mentor figure (nor does he seek to be) or particularly wise...h e is just a normal person.#Janeway is a captain so she is a better mentor figure but she also seems to at first struggle with how close she should be with her crew#which eventually slips into Way Too Close (necessary for Delta Quadrant but once they return home...)#I just like them both so much and I wish we got more with their friendship#Janeway & Tuvok are people who believe in and identify strongly with their moral principles and thus those who fall short of them fall short#of...hmm personhood? 'humanity' ??#If you break Starfleet code you are not only not a good officer but perhaps a terrible person#Janeway's rage at the Equinox crew being centered VERY INTERESTINGLY /genuine NOT around the fact that they tortured and killed aliens/ppl#but the fact that they are not in line with Starfleet...they wear the uniform but don't follow the code. Absolutely unacceptable#to Janeway.#Tuvok also seems like the sort of person who would harshly judge other Vulcans in the same way..to ME.

once again I can't get enough of this song
#some guy comes in looking a bit like everyone I ever seen he moves just like crisco disco breath 100% listerine#he says looking at something else but directing everything to me 'every time anyone gets on their knees and prays#well it makes my telephone ring.' and I'll be damned. he said 'you were right no one's running this whole thing. he had a theory too.#he said that god takes care of himself. god takes care of himself and you of you.#I unironically love this album's representations of jesus. makes him more of a poor little meow meow sometimes more effectively#than the bible does. the song about his dad hating him and regretting not killing him sooner ïżœïżœïżœ#Spotify

there are now two magpies in my neighbourhood that trust me enough to take food directly from my hand which is freakin' wild to me
but also i have come to realise that if i stop feeding them now, swooping season is going to be unbearable
#there's six maggies that come around#one more than the others and she's still a baby#still all scraggly with her grey baby feathers#but there's also the baby's parents who are here kinda frequently (and dad is the one who just today decided i'm chill enough to take from#a lone magpie female who is young enough that i think she's just looking for her own territory (the other maggies bully her a bit)#and another mated pair who show up VERY rarely and that's only because i think they have other humans that feed them#like I met the male of that pair ONCE and he strolled right up like he was hand-fed every day which means he probably is#(and of course it's not their territory so they can only slip in when the Main Pair aren't around)#the Main Four have realised that if they sit on the back patio table and sing their hearts out that /someone/ will come out#the baby also has this habit of showing up and just standing directly by our back glass door to /stare/#and you don't realise she's there until her head twitches and you're looking directly into those beady little eyes#that are looking RIGHT BACK at you#she scares the piss outta me at least once a week#feathers speaks

I can't sleep again
#it's all just too much#i need to be sending out emails and arranging stuff for a whole load of different things#but doing that fills me with such anxiety because i dont know how the fuck it works#but every moment I'm not doing those things it fills me with anxiety because i realise I'm standing still#and the only way forward it seems is through this#only it's not because the previous thing i was going was actually working and helping me forward but then my local gov said no actually#you're not allowed to do the thing anymore because we think so even tho we dont know what were talking about#so now you got the offer to look into this other thing that really just feels like the thing you already had but worse#so you have to contact the new thing and see what exactly they're about but already deep inside you know it probably wont work out#so it feels like you'll be doing that only so you can see it doesnt work in the hope that maybe if it doesnt work you can go back#to the gov people and show them the old thing was actually right. but that might not work and then you'll have to sue them#and all the while you spend your days just sitting at home doing nothing and slowly wasting away#getting a little bit worse every day. as you feel all the progress you made in the last year slowly slip through your fingers#and you start to think that maybe this is it. maybe it just doesn't get better. maybe this really is the best you can do and any more just#isn't in the cards for you. maybe you're just not cut out for this whole adult life business. you'll forever be...a failure#and that's just one thing. one thing of many you constantly need to worry about. it's not even adressing that your adhd treatment is still#kind of unclear who exactly is responsible. you've been running out of meds for a week and still haven't called because it's too much stress#or the way its been almost five years since you got on the waiting list at the gender clinic#three years of which were spent on the waiting list#but even now you've been âin treatmentâ for the past year and a half you still feel like you're no further. still no official âdiagnosisâ.#still no approval to change your birth certificate. your passport will run out by the end of the year and you'll have to get yet another#new one with your dead name on it. still no idea when you might finally get their approval to start on HRT. no idea when you might finally#get to stop feeling like every single day your body becomes a little less yours. where you look in the mirror and see someone stare back who#just simply looks wrong. feels wrong. you look at the hair on your head that really needs a haircut but you dont dare touch it because its#the one little thing that keeps the dysphoria at bay. and then you think of your dad and his bald head. and you look at your hairline and#cant help but wonder âis it receding a bit more right there?â always wondering if you'll lose this little bit of safety too#its all just too much. i dont know how much longer I can keep pushing myself forward at this rate. when all the good things get taken away#and I'm left having to deal with all of it on my own. i dont want to be alone but i dont know how to reach out to those around me. not even#to my friends sometimes. i know they're out there and i know they care but at the same time i dont know how to#let them. so I'm left alone and it's all my fault? isn't it. i know not all of this is my fault but also all of it is and i just

Love to go back to my desk once I've woken up and see whatever weird thing I was working on at like 5 am. This one I think is genuinely interesting but also would look so deranged to anyone else đ I was writing a color coded guide to how I group drivers in my head with examples with different grids(i.e. how the demographics change) and now I want to write one for all of the 2000-now grids. Completely normal behavior what are you talking about
#let me know if anyone wants to see it :D i like to do these little projects for myself bcs its fun to be meticulous#but as i said i do think its really interesting what the demographic of the grid is#(how i group them is basically about debut year which comes with certain impressions on my part)#but i say it looks deranged bcs one time i showed my dad my f1 guide book#(i have a notebook where i wrote down guides of all the grids like with teams/drivers/team changes/etc)#(and also write down all of the race wknd results from this season)#and hes like '...oooookayyyyyyy đ¶'#ITS FUN FOR ME OKAY#im just fond of 'record keeping' ig and i really think the older grids are interesting#id love to do the 90s but the further back you go the more confusing it gets tbh#like only a handful of drivers ik from then and also more drivers#i actually have written grid guides twice....sry its rly fun actually đ#but bcs i switched notebooks and i wanted to make a better one#but it was so interesting bcs i made the first one when i was getting into f1 and then the 2nd one was like after i had watched older races#so the first time i only knew a couple drivers but then 2nd time i recognized practically every name#lmao this started bcs i had to write a 2023 guide to myself so i could memorize all the teams and drivers#and i remember really not knowing like any of them but now i think i could do back until 2018 from memory#before that gets a bit hsrd just because there's a lot of drivers that just come and go super quickly and leave not much impression imo#okay anyways now i must embark on my deranged organizational adventure#catie.rambling.txt

my mom isnât letting my dad go back to his office bc him being out of the house stresses her out and makes her have a flare up and itâs like kind of insane. like i understand why the idea of him doing that would make her panicky and angry as someone who also struggles w separation anxiety and abandonment shit / has physical symptoms from that kind of stress (though not to the same degree ofc) but also he is a grown man. he should be allowed to go to his office and not have to shape his entire life around her needs. and she keeps guilt tripping him out of it and itâs impacting his quality of life a lot and the whole thing is kind of⊠hm
#purrs#delete later#also sheâs guilt tripping me into coming to the stupid fucking potluck on sunday bc she needs the extra help and itâs like⊠what are you#gonna do when i move out. like i am a grown woman and i should be able to choose how i spend my two precious weekend days. and my dad is a#grown man and he should be able to choose where he works. like is that not a little bit insane. i get it but alsoâŠ.. i do think it s kind of#fucked ip that itâs her way or the highway and her needs take priority over all of ours and sheâs asking us to bend to what she wants when#she wants it. like i get it bc sheâs sick but itâs not fair for her to expect that from my dad especially. particularly when me and my#brother are back at work / school in more high risk environments than my dad who would be in a private office alll day. and the thing is no#one is brave enough to all her on it bc if we did it would be the END of the world. she even threw a fit on my dads bday and complained bc#the things he wanted to do were things she didnât want to do like all the man wanted to do was go mini golfing and when that wasnât good#enough he just wanted to go on a walk and my mom complained the whole time and also scoffed the movie he wanted to watch and said it was#boring and itâs like⊠wtf itâs HIS birthday??? but what do you expect from the woman who (and in fairness her friends got her these as gifts#but still) has TWO kitchen items that say some variation of âa marriage is when one is always right and the other is always the husbandâ đ#i look at that little plaque every night bc itâs in front of the sink when im doing dishes and it makes me so fucking angry. like my dad is#a whole fucking person and he can be right too and he deserves to make choices and be happy and not have his wife put him down all the time.#idk. and she puts down his family all the time too and complains when he wants to do the most reasonable things for his own enjoyment that#donât align with hers and criticizes his interests all the time and it just sucks to see. he never shows hurt or anything so idk how he#feels about it but it makes me so angry and sad and when i tell her to stop she just lashes out at me so. đ€Ș. like how do we get her to stop#making her needs more important than everyone elseâs bc⊠she may be our mom / his wife / whateger but that doesnât make her queen. no one is#(andalso this has only gotten worse bc of covid / her being sick. like this has been a lifelong thing itâs just itâs a lot worse now bc the#circumstances gave her room / forced her to have to take up more space. and itâs just so frustrating. i get it. but none of us are pawns or#dolls or subordinates or anything. thereâs 5 adults here and we should all be able to make choices and not be guilt tripped by her. lol#)

man
#i went to go see my dad bc his mom died this morning. and he was like clearly having a hard time with it i think more so than he was really#letting on. and its weird bc i was telling erik how it feels like nowadays this is like. a different version of my dad like it really doesn#feel like the same person who traumatized me and my siblings growing up. that feels like a ghost almost idk. but he was talking to me abt#his mom who from the little bits ive gathered here and there i can assume she was pretty emotionally abusive to him. but he said.#'my mom definitely made a few mistakes with me. but i have to try to move on and live my life as best as i can'. god i felt like i was#looking in a mirror. he seemed so sad it was like he was trying to convince himself. and trying so hard not to be mad even though he has#every right to. but i guess at a certain point you do have to let it go. idk. i guess i never really see him be very vulnerable except when#it comes to the church. he did talk about the church as well he said that as much as she mistreated him hes grateful she gave him faith in#god and that he thinks thats the most important thing a parent can give their child. and i didnt rlly know what to say ig mostly i was just#letting him talk. but god. it was hard. i hope maybe this is like.his chance to let go of all the hurt from his childhood. that he gets to#finally grieve it along with her. idk.#i feel like my view of my father gets more complicated every year i get older. i just dont always know how to reckon with it.

dad bod!toji whoâs still the big, muscular man he is but you can tell heâs gotten older and his metabolism has slowed down a little bit. Heâs gotten chubbier in his arms, thighs, tummy. Not to mention, heâs started to gray and grow stubble on his face, the perfect salt and pepper mix. Toji says he hates it, always moaning and groaning about needing to hit the gym but youâŠ? You fucking love it. It takes everything in you not to ravish his right then and there, wanting to pounce on him every second of the day. Youâre always kissing up on him, grabbing on him, dragging him to the laundry room while the kids watching tv so you could have a quickie. And heâs so confused on where all this extra energy and affection has sprouted from, but he loves it. Youâre always so eager for him, fucking your self on his cock, him waking up to you kissing his neck and stroking his dick, dropping to your knees and giving him head without his asking. He wonders what heâs done to deserve all of it.
Heâs standing in the mirror one late night with his shirt off, examining just how chubby heâs gotten. Heâd be lying if he said he wasnât a little insecure, thinking how gorgeous you are and how you shouldnât settle for him. âIâm losing myself,â he grumbles. âWhatâs going on, baby?â You walk in the room, a smile immediately on your face when you see his shirt is off, definitely a sight to see. âI need to head to the gym is whatâs going on.â He flexes his muscles in the mirror. You giggle and walk up behind him, snaking your arms around his waist. âI think you look so handsome with a little weight on you,â you whisper in his ear. âDoes something to me.â You nibble on his ear before trailing kisses along his jaw, and thatâs when Toji realizes why youâve been so affectionate with him, like a lightbulb going off in his head.
Just mere minutes later, youâre riding him like your life depends on it, slamming your hips down on his, creating a sticky mess between you two. âS-shit,â he pants, âslow down, mamaâfuck!â His bruising grips on your hips only tighten the faster you ride him. Your pussy sucks him in with each thrust, clenching around his throbbing cock. âI canâtâŠyou get so me so hot and bothered, baby.â You grin, running your hands down his chest.
He swears he could cum right then and there, with the way you were riding him and that look in your eye, he was ready to give you another kid. And now you were kissing his neck, moaning and whimpering in his ear. âYouâre so perfect, Toji,â you mewl. âFuck me.â His eyes roll back before fluttering shut. âKeep going, yes, yes, just like that, mama. Youâre gonna make me fucking cum,â he groans. You keep that same rhythm, squeezing your pussy around him, milking him. He suddenly wraps his arms around you, holding you in place as he thrusts up into you, the sound of skin on skin filling the room. âAh, fuck!â You cry out, your cum dripping down his shaft. His thrusts grow sloppier and harder and next thing you know heâs filling you up, pushing his cum deeper inside of you with slow thrusts. Laughter erupts from your chest as you catch your breath, kissing him slowly and passionately.
âMmm, goddamn,â he huffs, pulling you to his chest. âNow I finally know why youâre so goddamn horny all the time,â he chuckles. You blink up at him with a small smirk. âCan you blame me?â You trace patterns on his skin. He can see the look in your eye, that hungry stare youâre giving him, wanting more. âWhat are you thinking about, hm?â He caresses your cheek. âOh nothingâŠjust how badly I wanna give you some head right now, but Iâll wait.â

i am occasionally confronted with the intense unorthodoxy of the things i watched as a child. i really feel like i'm probably in a minority of people whose list of childhood media includes the hbo miniseries band of brothers
#this post brought to you by looking for a sabrina post and instead finding webgott edits#anyway why was i seven years old watching people's legs get blown off#my dad would man the remote and mute every single instance of the word fuck which. if you've seen band of brothers. that's a lot#but the thing is that by the time i was like 9 i'd seen it so many times over that if he had to leave the room while we were watching it#he could just leave it with me. and i'd mute all the f words#or if i wanted to watch it by myself while he was at work mom would let me bc i knew where everything was#i am not exaggerating even a little bit when i say that as a child i could quote band of brothers front to back without missing a beat#and it was my comfort show. in retrospect. ????#but now i can't really shake that like yeah if i'm depressed i'm gonna have the urge to watch either sabrina (1995) or band of brothers#and brother today i am doing both

Before starting T, when I socially transitionned, I was surrounded by radical feminists who saw masculinity as gross and inherently evil, something to avoid, something to make fun of, something to destroy. The other transmascs in my friend group, sometimes, told me that they didnât knew if they really were non-binary or if they just were scared shitless of saying âI am a manâ. Because they saw this as a betrayal to their younger self who had been SAd and abused.
I saw many of my masc friends and trans men around me hate themselves, not outing themselves as men because it would imply so so much, it was like opening the Pandora Box. Even when we were just together, talking about our masculinity was always coated with bits like âI know weâre the privileged ones butâŠâ, âI donât want to sound like I have it bad butâŠâ, âWomen obviously have it worse, but last timeâŠâ and we were talking about terrible traumas we experienced while taking all the precautions in the world in the case the walls were a crowd of people in disguise waiting to get us if we didnât downplay the violence we faced, or like crying and being upset and being traumatized and afraid and scared and to say it out loud would make us throw up the needles we were forced to swallow every second of every day living in our skin.
Most of us werenât on T yet, some of us were catcalled every day and harassed in the streets or in abusive relationships nobody seemed to care to help them get out of because they were âstrong enoughâ to do it by themselves.
I was using the gender swap face app and cried for ours when I saw my father looking back at me through the screen. The idea of transforming, of shedding into a body that would deprive me of love, tenderness, and safety, was absolutely terrifying. I knew I couldnât stay in this body any longer because it wasnât mine, but I also knew that if I was going to look like my dad, my brother, my abusers, it would be so much worse.
5 years later and Iâm almost 2 years on T, and almost 2 months post top surgery.
I ditched my previous group of friends. I was bullied out of my local trans community. But let me tell you how free I am.
I was scared that T would break my singing voice: it made it sound more alive than ever.
I was scared that T would make me less attractive: it made me find myself hot for the first time in my life.
I was scared that T would make me gain weight: it did. But the weight I put on is not the weight I used to put on by binging and eating my body until I forgot that it even existed. Itâs the weight of my body belonging to me, little by little. The wolf hunger for life.
I wonât tell you the same story I see everywhere, the one that goes âI started going to the gym 8 times a week, I put on some muscles, I started a diet and now I look like an action film actorâ, in fact if you took pictures of me from 5 years ago vs now Iâd just have more acne, Iâd have longer hair and still look like I donât know what to do with myself when I take selfies.
But the sparkle in my eyes, my smile, tell the whole story way better than this long ass stream of words could ever.
I want to say some things that I wish someone told me before starting medically transitionning.
Itâs okay to take your time. Itâs your body, itâs your journey, if you donât feel comfortable taking full doses and want to go slow, the only voice you need to listen to is your own. Do what feels right.
If you feel overwhelmed, itâs okay to take a break, itâs okay to ask for support.
Trans people are holy. Everyone is. You didnât lose your angel wings when you came out because you want to be masculine. You are not excluded from the joy of existence, from being proud of yourself, from being sad, from being scared, from being angry. The emotions and feelings you allowed yourself to feel while processing what you experienced when you grew up as a girl and was seen as a woman are still as valid as before. Nobody can take that from you. If someone tries to, donât let them.
Itâs perfectly normal to grieve some things you were and had before you started to transition, like your high soprano voice or even your chest. Hatching is painful. You can find comfort in things that donât feel right, so making the decision to change can be incredibly scary and weird and you deserve to be heard and supported through this. Wanting top surgery doesnât make the surgery less intense, less terrifying, less painful to recover from. When it becomes too much you have the right to take a break and take some deep breaths before going on.
You donât have to have a radical, 180° change for your transition to be acceptable or valid or worthy of praise. Look at how far youâve come already. It doesnât have to show, youâre not made to be a spectacle, youâre human and it is your journey.
Oh, and last thing, you know when some people say âOh this trans person has to grow out of the cringy phase where you think that you can write essays about being trans or transitionning or just their experience because itâs weirdâ ? If you ever hear this or see this online, remember all the people whose writing you read and, even if they were not professional writers, helped you more than any theorists did ? If you want to write, do it. It wonât be a waste. It can help people. Or it wonât, and even then, if it helped you, thatâs enough.
Love every of my trans siblings, take care of yourselves. You deserve the world.
