#but that was not the case

I can't prove it but I'm sure that the whole "Jason and Bucky are the same character" started (or got stronger) after the muzzle design (my beloathed) for Jason.

So, I’m Trans

I’ve kinda known since High School, when I started experimenting with binding and preferred shopping in the men’s section until I was basically told to get “more colorful” clothes and it was obvious the person in question meant more feminine. Basically implicitly being told to accept being female. That was the day I gave up on it for years, and started watching women to see how they behaved to imitate it. I genuinely thought it was normal to view my period and having breasts as just something I had to deal with. I thought everyone felt that way about their body.

I have literally been masking as a woman as an ingrained habit for 20 years.

I realized something was really up later when I was ranting about having issues dealing with women socially, and my roommate commented that I sounded like a gay man. And I was like... “... Yeah, that actually feels right.” It’s been in the back of my head since then.

There was some stuff that made me backslide and give up again for a few years that I don’t want to go into because of stuff.

It’s come to a head recently when I was ready the synopsis of “Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret,” and I was talking to my mom about it and was like, “Do girls really look forward to their period?” And she was like, “I did. It was sort of a ‘becoming a woman’ thing.” And I realized part of why I hated my period so much, aside from having a particularly heavy, unpleasant one:

I didn’t want to become a woman back then. I was in 4th grade when I got my first period, and I honestly just thought I didn’t want it because I had a precocious puberty and never had the chance to get to that point of wanting it.

But I think I just didn’t want it ever.

And looking back, whenever someone would compliment me when I wore men’s clothing, it made me really happy. My mom thinking about my personality and telling me she could see me as male made me really happy.

So I’m finally going for it. I’m going to transition. Eventually I’m going to change my name to Isaac. I’ve always liked the name ever since I first heard it, and I also like the indie horror roguelike.

I’m never going to be the most hyper-masculine dude ever. My personality is already masculine, and I’ve had enough of changing myself or giving up because of other peoples’ opinions of what a man or a trans man should be. I’m still going to have all the interests people think are “girly”, because they’re not. There’s nothing inherently gendered about liking sewing and cooking and scented candles (I appreciate the nice smell and being able to light stuff on fire without people getting mad at me) and stuff like that. And I’m totally comfortable with that.

So yeah. I’m a man. My name is Isaac. Nice to meet you.

idk has someone done this yet

they match each other’s freak to a degree that is dangerous to the public

Some spins on the "mostly male team with a token woman" trope:

The woman is trans and stayed in her old circle of bros even after transition

The woman is the only one in her circle of "girls" who didn't turn out to be a trans man

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

QUICK REMINDER

In the US: threatening government officials is a felony under federal law (the president in particular is protected under 18 U.S.C. § 871). Even memes.

be careful with your jokes if they spill over to active officials.

the angel staying over at my house asked for a nightlight in their room and i told them buddy, don't you produce your own light? what're you gonna do with more? and they said they wanted to see why people like it so much. and also that the nightlight i own is blue and they've been trying to understand color. anyways i think they've stared at it for an hour now

Re: blorbo from my research, here is my favorite ever case study. I'm obsessed with it.

Summary:

- Guy presents to neurology with muscle issues, very clearly has something going on but diagnostic tests are inconclusive

- History is mostly unremarkable. Key word, mostly. He drinks four liters of plain Earl Grey tea per day. For context this is nearly twice the recommended daily fluid intake. All fluids, to be clear, not just tea. He only drinks tea tho

- Bergamot is known to be phototoxic in high doses (reacts badly on your skin with sunlight)

- APPARENTLY nobody previously has consumed enough of it for it to be widely known that it is also, apparently, mildly toxic to ingest in high doses

- Guy starts drinking plain black tea again. Only 2 liters this time (he didn't have a medical reason to drink that much tea, he just liked it) and so now he's fully recovered

also what is with people tossing out support for nonbinary people when the nonbinary person is a celebrity. as soon as demi lovato changed their pronouns from they/them to they/she everyone, including supposed allies of the community, IMMEDIATELY dropped the “they” part of “they/she” and started referring to them as a woman again. then when “unholy” by sam smith and kim petras won a grammy people talked about how kim petras (just her) made trans history by being the first trans person to win a grammy. and yes this is something to be celebrated, but is sam smith not also trans by virtue of being nonbinary? did they not also make history? or do you not see them as nonbinary because they’re amab and not feminine enough to cross the man threshold for you? and yes nonbinary celebrities are not going to see you referring to them as if they were cis but your trans acquaintances sure as fuck are
