@amisplacedalphabet can you confirm

Real observations since I started wearing a wizard hat daily:

- Brim is so wide that I stay BONE DRY taking walks in the rain

- Brim can be positioned to block the sun from ever getting in my eyes AND keeping it off the back of my neck

- The pointed top part creates an air pocket, keeping my head from getting hot or squishing my hair as it might in a ball cap

- Hat can easily be pulled down over the tips of my ears without looking dumb, protecting them from wind chill

- Strangers say they like my hat, giving me the chance to tell them that I am a wizard

- When you’re wearing a wizard hat, ALL OTHER FASHION CHOICES become secondary, allowing you to branch out with style

Embrace ego death. Stay protected from all elements. Wear a wizard hat.

mens reaction when told they’re not included in feminism…shows how much liberal feminists really care about women and what we have to say.

If you don't mind me asking how did you know you were trans? Because I've been unsure if I just like people calling me masculine titles is just preference or something else? But I still like being a girl and it makes me feel good but yet I wish I was a dude who you'd pass by on the street. Sorry if this is confusing or worded weirdl

I think the earliest sign was when I was like 12 and cut my hair short.

Not the short hair part, but the part where afterwards, random people would refer to my as my mom's son, and I'd get weirdly upset when she corrected them

And at THE TIME it was like, "come on mom, now they're all embarassed and apologetic and awkward, and it doesn't matter anyways cause we don't know them and they're never gonna see us again"

But then later I got super into comics and junk and wound up reading the Loki one where Lady Loki shows up like and was all like "I'm both" and I was like. THAT'S AN OPTION?

So I figured I was probably genderqueer around about grade 9 or 10 or so and since then It's been a slow realization that, while I'm not sure I FEEL particularly strongly about settling one way or another on the binary, I'm happiest as a Him and a Man whether or not I'm in jeans or heels.

At this point, I feel confident enough in myself that even if I went full June Cleaver skirts and pearls n shit one day it'd still feel more like drag than anything.

Which is hilarious, because like. Tits. You know?

Idk, my awareness of self has always been a slow evolution. I'm just going with the flow, here

I feel like if you prefer certain titles or pronouns that's fine, and you can swap genders if you want, or do none if you want, or be a guy who goes by She or a girl who goes by Him or a They Xey anything, whatever makes YOU happier, cause life is short and we should all just be comfy and happy, you know?

(Which reminds me, got a referral to a surgeon a bit back and I gotta check in on that- thanks for the reminder, lol)

Gender isn’t a force of nature, it’s a societal tool.

I’m far less interested in fiction where it’s like “This power/ability/prophecy is gender specific but trans inclusive” and for more interested in fiction that just… doesn’t do that

My problem with neopronouns is they tend to follow the english propensity observable in "she/her/hers" and "he/him/his" in a lack of transformation for posessive terms. Xe/xir/xirs, bun/bun/buns, ae/aer/aers. Just add an s at the end. BORING!!! Instead we should borrow from more linguistic traditions. I'll start: dutch masculine pronouns hij/hem/zijn where, as you can see, the possesive form loses any and all linguistic coherence with the subject and object form. This has real etymological reasons that we're going to completely ignore as purely for neopronoun purposes I think its merits lie in allowing for greater creativity in pronoun generation. Get wild with it. And if you still want your pronouns to have thematic coherence you can do that but it gives you a second avenue to explore your identity in. New catgender nya/nyan/purr.

I obtained an epilator. How is not important.

I have to see if it's as bad as people say.

The gender demands smooth legs and who am I to deny her what she wants

Although Archangels are not of any gender, they are usually (anthropomorphic) depicted as male. Not in this fragment in this 1914 (!) Waterhouse painting here; Gabriel could be all, any or none.

Angel names that end with -el have -become- associated with identifying as male. But that isn’t necessarily so: for Gabriel, Rafael, Michael, etc., gender is irrelevant.

It's really simple. If you're born with a vagina and you naturally have elevated testosterone levels, you're a man. If you have a vagina and you take testosterone, you're a woman. But also if you have a vagina, you'll never be a man. But also if you have higher testosterone then you were never a woman. Woman never yes man a vagina testosterone no was an elevated. Vagina man.

the statements "clothes don't have gender" and "clothes can and do invoke gender dysphoria and euphoria for many people" can and should coexist.

I read about this first about 10 years ago in Cordelia Fine's Delusions of Gender if anyone wants a book rec!

Did you know that after they switched to blind auditions, major symphony orchestras hired women between 30% to 55% more? Before bringing in “blind auditions” with a screen to conceal the the candidate, women in the top 5 major orchestras made up less than 5% of the musicians performing.

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
