Trans Megathread from October 20th, 2025 to October 26th, 2025

I love sleeping, honk-shoo is so goated.


As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Idk why my post didn't post earlier. But it's so nice not having had to do a "coming out" at this new job. They asked me what my preferred name and pronouns were when I put in my application, and from what I've seen so far, it seems like my name in all of the systems is my preferred name and I only had to use the legal one for, well, legal reasons. I keep being referred to with she/her pronouns in emails and stuff, and it's so nice that I didn't have to ask for it. And no one has been weird in zoom calls yet. I'm being treated completely and entirely as a woman. I don't really know how to describe it, because all of my friends treat me like a woman, but I think the difference is that I had to come out to them. I just got this job, walked in the proverbial (online) doors and from day 1 I'm just a woman. It feels incredible.

21
SwitchyandWitchy [she/her] - 2mon

100-com I switched jobs after I started socially transitioning so that I could a) be sure I was going to be at a job where me being trans was not going to be a problem and b) so that I wouldn't have to come out at my old job where I already knew that my boss's boss was transphobic. Though part of me now wished I had come out there once I had already secured a new job just to blow everyone's minds. I was already out to some of my coworkers who I was friends with outside of work, I know I would've gotten support from them during my last couple weeks.

SwitchyandWitchy [she/her] - 2mon

That's Lilith's blessing /s

6
lilypad [it/its, pup/pup's] - 2mon

Ok I know youre saying /s but genuinely I love Lilith!! Theres an amazing masters thesis i read laying out the history of Lilith from modern midrashim all the way back to the ardat lili demons and Lamashtu! Tracing her demonization, from a goddess to the modern day conception of non- and antipatriarchal "dark" femininity and how shes the dual form of Eve and Shekhinah and Gods consort. Its so cooool!

6
SwitchyandWitchy [she/her] - 2mon

Oooo that sounds super interesting! I only know a little bit of Lilith thanks to the show Chilling Adventures of Sabrina but the character seemed really cool.

Originally I was going to say it's the sweetness of the forbidden fruit and then that kinda turned into Lilith's blessing as I was thinking about it, but I didn't feel I had enough knowledge to say it sincerely. Which, maybe I should find a different way of expressing that without sarcasm. Idk.

5
lilypad [it/its, pup/pup's] - 2mon

Its no worries! Lilith is a really cool mythology and evolution, showing the demonization of femininity as patriarchal structures were imposed. She like is there and then shes gone for a while and then she shows back up, its really interesting. If you want the masters thesis i can try to find it for ya.

People also point to the alphabet of ben sira a lot, but that text may have been the rabbinical equivalent of south park, so im hesitant to rely on its framing as mythological fact and treat it with some suspicion.

I mentioned this already on tracha, but I think I'm going to log off and touch grass for a while, at least a month, probably longer. I just have too much going on right now, I feel like I'm drowning. Holding a full time job, school work, irl social obligations, online social obligations... I just can't anymore. So I'll be taking a break to focus on myself for a while.

::: spoiler discussion of pornography, though nothing inherently explicit what is with the prevalence of anti-porn anti-sex etc sentiment present even in leftist spaces (yes even here)? are we really still pretending that this stuff is bad for you in 2025, or that "porn addiction" is a real thing? anti-sex puritanism unless missionary for the purposes of procreation is not something that should be part of your ideology methinks. sex, sexual development, etc are normal healthy things that should be encouraged. weve already seen what mass sexual repression does to people and its not a good thing.

promoting fascist ideology and helping create very serious problems is a bad thing actually, and the fact that we are still encouraged to live in a panopticon where questioning your fascist beliefs even slightly can make you lose of your entire support system is a shame.

"gooner" is literally just the new "removed" in a lot of cases (which was, among other things, the word nazis used to describe people/things they didnt like) and for some reason we are just okay with this?? and if you dare point out "hey this is a bad thing actually" then people refuse to take you seriously :::

16
Lurkmore [none/use name, comrade/them] - 2mon

Hi comrades, I'm feeling really confused. It doesn't seem possible that I could actually have these feelings. I never seriously considered it an option for myself. I don't feel like a man and never have. I hate everything about myself. I promise I'm really asking, I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything. I'm sorry. I'm always sorry.

Is it really possible to choose to be a girl if I want? I mean me personally. Like other people can but I don't think I could. Is it really something anyone who wants to can do? Why wouldn't everyone?

What if I'm just bad at being a guy but that doesn't mean I should quit being a guy?

Similarly what if I'm equally bad at being a girl and it's being human I'm bad at?

I saw a lot of pics, and literally everyone looks better as a girl, but what if I looked way worse?

Is it really true that most guys don't feel any FOMO about being a girl? I only get one life why would I want to be a dude the whole time?

What if I'm just such a perverted and pathetic straight guy that I've tricked myself into doing this for some kind of thrill?

Obviously I'd love to be told I was a good girl and all of that, but again, who doesn't?

How do I know I'm not being delusional? How do I know I'm actually trans and not pretending or deceiving myself?

16
TerminalEncounter [she/her] - 2mon

Most cis guys don't agonize over it or give it much thought, and sure if they were really at home with themselves theyd probably be okay with being a girl for a few hours or a day but then wanna go back to being a guy.

We have plenty of trans mascs here who have made clear they do not want to be girls. If you wanna know if everyone would choose to he a girl if they could - nope! Trans men exist!

You can try this website and see how you feel: turn-me-into-a-girl.com/

15
Lurkmore [none/use name, comrade/them] - 2mon

I know trans men exist but it seems incomprehensible to me. I think I might just be particularly awful at being a man. I can't actually imagine ever feeling like a man. I just wish everything about me was different.

13
peanutbuttercupola [she/her] - 2mon

It sounds like you might be a woman. Thoughts on this?

15
Lurkmore [none/use name, comrade/them] - 2mon

I don't know. I had never considered it. I mean I'd thought about being a woman before as a fantasy but not as something I could actually be.

I think I want to be a woman I'm just so scared and unsure. I always thought everyone assumed being a girl is better. I would never choose to be a man.

6
peanutbuttercupola [she/her] - 2mon

Well it's definitely something you can actully be, if you want. Probably worth giving that some more consideration.

Most men, for what it's worth, have no particular interest in being a woman.

4
TerminalEncounter [she/her] - 2mon

Theres a lot of gender stuff out there. Theres agender, nonbinary, gender fluid, trans femme but not strictly a woman, trans woman, etc.

Yes, its true! Not everyone wants to be a girl even some of the time (almost all cis and trans guys do not want that, a lot of trans men go through a lot of pain and oppression in the effort to be a man).

Did you try the website?

13
Lurkmore [none/use name, comrade/them] - 2mon

I did try the website and I liked it a lot. It was sweet. It's really hard to embrace and conceptualize. If I was a woman all the traits I hate about myself as a man would be positives. I could be as soft, weak, and cute as I wanted. I could feel pretty and wear pretty clothes. I could walk different and talk different and act different.

I can't understand how everyone doesn't see masculinity as horrible. I try to be as masculine as I can to fit my roll as a man and I hate it. I hate how men are. I can't imagine wanting to be like any of them. I hate being included in their group.

4
TerminalEncounter [she/her] - 2mon

Why don't you try wearing pretty clothes now? It's Halloween! You could go out in a dress and makeup and no one will care.

When I still boymoded (when I was presenting as a man publicly but I had already figured out I was trans) I used to wear a bralette and panties under my clothes and painted my toe nails. You can try different sets of pronouns on this site, which ones make your heart sing? You said you liked being called a good girl.

1
lilypad [it/its, pup/pup's] - 2mon

I can't actually imagine ever feeling like a man.

This was me for a long time. I was a man because thats what people told me i was. I didnt feel like a man, i kept chasing social markers in the hopes that "oh if i have this social marker (e.g. a beard) then ill feel like a man". But thats not how it works. As far as i can tell, men feel like men because they are men. I wasnt a man so i didnt feel like a man. I felt like a weird not-man-but-cant-say-woman-for-some-reason thing. My gender has expanded beyond strict binary-ness, but i do enjoy womanhood and spend a lot of time being a woman.

I cant tell you youre a woman, or even that youre not a man, thats for you to decide for yourself. But i can say that the men ive talked to about this never questioned their gender, they never had sleepless nights thinking about being a girl or a woman, they didnt fantasize about being an old lady. They wanted to be men. They didnt question it because it fit for them and they enjoyed their man-ness.

As far as whether you can be a girl or not, you absolutely can. Its not something crossed off and forbidden to you, its something you can be. Society sucks and all that, but despite its protestations you can absolutely be a woman. You can be many things. You can be agender, you can be nonbinary in some flavor, you can be bigender, but above all, you can be yourself. Youre allowed to be yourself. If theres something that brings you joy and doesnt harm others then you should pursue it. If being not-a-man brings you joy, or if it alleviates pain, then you should pursue it.

SwitchyandWitchy [she/her] - 2mon

Oh hey it's my thoughts from years ago cat-trans

I always assumed all boys wanted to be girls a s were just lying about it. Turns out nope, it's just us.

I've come to the conclusion that most if not all of us deal with imposter syndrome. Everything you've said in this thread is very normal thoughts for a trans person whose egg is cracking. None of them are normal cis thoughts.

Horse {they/them} - 2mon

Obviously I’d love to be told I was a good girl and all of that, but again, who doesn’t?

the overwhelming majority of cis men

15
lib1 [comrade/them] - 2mon

In my experience, you’ll learn more from a month of experimentation than you will from years of ruminating about it. Try on clothing made for women. Try out some makeup. If your hair is short, maybe try on a wig. Even just change your pronouns on here to see how it feels. Whatever you can safely access, you should give it a try.

Follow up each session of experimentation with some reflection and self care. You’re learning to love and be patient with yourself just as much as you’re experimenting with gender.

And for reference, I didn’t fully accept I was trans until I was 2 weeks on estrogen. In a lot of ways, the doubt is built into the process.

12
sodium_nitride [she/her, any] - 2mon

I don't think it's something that you can really tell without quite some introspection. Seems like you're already doing that and are on the right track. Of course, no one other than you can look inside what's going on in your head.

Is it really possible to choose to be a girl if I want? I mean me personally. Like other people can but I don't think I could.

I mean this in a good way. You are not special. Why couldn't you become a girl?

Similarly what if I'm equally bad at being a girl and it's being human I'm bad at?

If you're trans, then transitioning will make it easier to be good at humaning.

What if I'm just such a perverted and pathetic straight guy that I've tricked myself into doing this for some kind of thrill?

Don't be silly, without perverts, how would people be born?

But on a serious note, being trans is hard, and doing it for a fetish is a terrible tradeoff.

Is it really true that most guys don't feel any FOMO about being a girl?

Cis guys often get terrified of even appearing "girly" and mock each other for it.

11
Are_Euclidding_Me [e/em/eir] - 2mon

I know my comment here is 4 days late, but since you haven't had a single comment from a transmasc person (that I've seen), I figured maybe you'd like to hear from one of us.

All of your feelings about being a guy (why would anyone want that? Do most men really not want to be women? Maybe if I just double down on acting like a man I'll feel like one), all of those feelings I've had in reverse. It never made sense to me that women were happy as women, I really thought they were lying about it. I thought if only I could "perform girl" better maybe I'd actually feel like one, surely the women who are super femme are doing it just to feel more like women, right? And if I could just do the same, maybe I'd have their poise and confidence in my feminity.

Well, no. Of course not. I'm trans. I'm not a woman, and pretending to be one sucked so fucking bad. I crave a (slightly) more masculine presentation than I ever allowed myself when I thought I was a woman. And I feel so much more comfortable with myself now! I feel like I can actually be a human, actually be myself, now that I'm no longer working so very hard to pretend to be a woman.

I can't tell you you're a woman, you have to decide that for yourself, but I can tell you that there are people who would never in a million years choose to be women. There are lots of humans on earth who would be (and, for some of us, have been) deeply, deeply unhappy living as women.

I just got the queer and trans zine I submitted my artwork to in the mail and it features dozens of artists from all over the world, I'm on the back cover and I have another piece in it as well. It was also part of a local zine fest. This is the first public art event I've done since the start of the pandemic that killed all my desire to do art markets and gallery showings.

Im super happy, got them on sale, and all i need now is some foam for the toebox and a heel grip. Never gonna wear them out-out. But will happily wear them to events that are primarily seated. Fuck my ball of foot hurts but its so worth it! And theyre aggressive enough that i cant wear them everywhere, so i have a deterrent to constantly wearing them and giving myself bunions. Wish i could put a picture of them here... Also whoever recommended onlymaker shoes, thank youuuu!!! They fit very well, tbh theyre a touch large on me, but thats a good thing it makes my toesies happier.

I continue to feel like a fucking child because of how much my problems revolve around my parents.

::: spoiler spoiler

I've made up my mind. I'm not going to tell my parents anytime soon.

I can try to enforce my boundaries with them, but they don't give a shit. My mom just told me like 10 minutes ago that she doesn't respect me enough to respect my boundaries or just behave politely.

I'm not good enough for her. That kind of basic decency is exclusively for strangers and my mom's elders.

Maybe I'm just too autistic or something and don't get social norms of "love". Either way, I'm done with illusions. Hopefully it lasts.

::: spoiler stupid life shit i guess

Im trying to be emotionally vulnerable with people in my life who bring up difficult reactions and processes for me. But im so scared im making my own shit their problem. Like, im clear with them that this is my shit dont take it on, but still i worry. Scared i drive people away by being simultaneously way too much and not ever enough. Idk. Im probably up in my head.

In other news things with my closest romantic relation (idk the word to put to it we have discussed words but not come to distinct conclusions about social markers) are really really good. We have good communication, we support each other, we have what i think are healthy boundaries... Its really good and im so happy! Her primary partner is also an absolute joy to be around, and we can all three of us sit down and have a wonderful time together which is so nice.

Im also anxious about new people i met who will maybe become friends? Idk, i suck at reaching out and cannot tell if they like being around me or not, so idk if friendship-friendships will develop, but i really like these people and hope that they become friends ^^

Update on the hormone arc

I heard back from the PP nurse

Thanks for reaching out. Lab work is not the best driver of this care. The better indicator is how the patient feels and if they are seeing affirming changes. When we had your telehealth visit, you expressed being happy with the changes you were seeing and liking the dose of medications you were on. Therefore, I didn't make any dose adjustment recommendations when I received your labs. Target range for estradiol is 100-200 pg/mL and for testosterone its < 100 ng/dL. You are on the highest dose of estradiol tablets, so there is not an option to increase. You can absolutely consider switching to patches or injections if you want to explore another way of taking estradiol. There is room to increase Spironolactone if you want to see a lower testosterone level. We can certainly make that change if you are wanting to try that.

#1: I get the idea of patient sentiment being priority, but I've only been doing this for less than a year! I have no idea how fast or slow anything is supposed to go and I depend on them to see if what I think is good is actually good. What if I'm only getting like 33% of the results I could get??

#2: If the target range is testosterone is below 100 ng/dL (ignoring the WPATH standard, for whatever reason) why is it okay for me to be over twice that? And shouldn't they note that when they tell me about the labs beyond just saying "they're fine" or "no change"? In my labs for my PCP my B12 was high and even though literally all you do is piss out the extra he made sure to make note of that.

I hate this I hate this I hate this

Update to update: she's offered to up me to 150 on Spiro but won't prescribe injections until the follow up months from now. Time to find a new provider!

Submitted a job application for a job im kinda excited about... Aaaand now im super anxious about it. I know i wont get the job, im not experienced and have a very poor resume. But i keep thinking about what life would look like, could look like, with that job. And i want it. I want that life so bad. But i wont get the job.

::: spoiler venting and anxiety

The application period closes at the end of the month, so i know i have some time before the "were moving forward with other candidates" email, but i just... Fuck i want it! I need employment, i need employment that wont break my body, and all the jobs i qualify for are bodybreakers. I have skills but i dont even know what they are until someone reminds me. At least this one i have some skills for and they said it can be hobby skills and not professional, which is encouraging. But im still anxious. It would be such a good job for meeee!! I want it! Its close to where i live, its also on major bus lines, its 4 days a week, it pays well (or at least, well enough for me), it would look amazing on my resume for when i inevitably quit or get fired, its part organizing others and part direct technical work so i wouldnt be doing only social interaction, my weekend would be during the week so i could go shopping without facing the massive crowds, the work is interesting, im good at systems-oriented thinking, and i dont mind installing hardware or running cables.

But i know i wont get it. Ill show up to the interview if im selected and do my best, but i have very low hopes. Theyre probably getting applicants with tons of experience, and i have relatively little. And like, this is the first time i listed "i am or have been disabled" on a job app cause they said they need to meet a minimum of 7% of their workforce being disabled, and that may have been a massive mistake, but maybe not? Im giving it a shot at least.

Ill probably end up back in kitchens, breaking my back in order to make minimum wage and barely be able to afford to eat... Fuck this shit. Fuck capitalism, fuck the ownership class, fuck the tarrifs, fuck the amerikkklan political party driving us off the fascism cliff in the the neoliberalism car, fuck it all.

::: spoiler discussion of trauma If none of this is helpful to read, please do just disregard it. I don't know what I'm doing here, just trying to relate and to help. But I'm only just recently getting good at helping myself so I don't know how well this carries over to helping others.

Sadly I don't really know how exactly to help anyone cope with it. I think everybody is unique in what exactly they need, and finding this out and implementing it is largely what therapy is for, though it takes more than just therapy afaik. I probably have many answers in my past but I'm still very much in the process of working through that trauma and unlocking those repressed memories. I know that I had a very bad experience when I was still very young where it felt like most people around me either didn't give a shit or were actively trying to be mean to me. In my case, delusion and retreating into my own world were probably not the healthiest coping mechanisms, but they were all I could find and they kept me alive. I also developed some misanthropy that I've since banished to the shadows of my mind.

I think that by far the best thing you can do, or at least that I think I can do, is try to find good irl company and spend time with them. Socializing can be so healing. And they don't have to be perfect, in fact they shouldn't be since then you will be searching forever. They just have accept your presence and be kind to you, and not drag you down mentally. And ofc that's a two way street, not that you should suffer in silence, but if I allow myself to dwell on suffering, I feel like it becomes worse a lot of the time. At least when I'm dwelling on it in a state of depression. :::

I do worry about how much I frequent the library and if they think I'm homeless or something but it's one of the few places I can hang out for free. If circumstances mean I'm a NEET for a while I rather spend the time outside my room. I guess since I'm doing training I'm not one but I'm still broke as hell.

Trying to do the due diligence to keep up with people and its so hard. First i have to get over my rediculous "oh no one wants to talk to me" internalized shame and self hatred. Then ive gotta actually compose and send a message (i suck at that). Then i have to freak out when they dont immediately respond (because this means they despise me, obiously lea-dysphoric). Then i have to actually uphold a conversation if they ever do respond to me. And messaging multiple people at once? Yeah no, thats not super functional for me. Hate this shit.

I love my brain so much, it causes me no pain at all :eyeroll:

Idk i just worry that i let things sit for too long, that even if people do like my company i dont reach out enough to maintain social connections and they feel like i dont like them (I DO! I just suck at reaching out). Thats on top of the fear theyre all lying to me and dont actually want to know me (which i know is irrational and not true, why would they ask for my phone number if they didnt want to know me?

New things require it to have one more argument than it currently does, but i cant change it across the board cause then all the old definitions will break. So im stuck between a hard break to not support older versions (currently unacceptable) or introducing a new method and generating all ~200 methods per version in addition to the old method.

I'm crashing out even more now because I did a comparison and my hair is definitely thinner than it was about a month ago

I know I asked about this before, but to confirm that I'm not being silly—isn't it a concern that my T jumped from 88 ng/dL in April to 331 ng/dL in July? And now it's at 227. I've only gone up on my E and Spiro doses in that timeframe.

Also I boofed my prog last night and I feel like my cheeks are super flushed now but weren't earlier in the day?? I could also just be getting sick

TerminalEncounter [she/her] - 2mon

Hair thinning and loss can also occur from stress and weight loss (like calorie restriction). Its not just T levels. Anything else going on in your life right now? Any changes to your duet? Is your hair longer than its been before? Everyone sheds about 100 to 200 hairs a day (more on the lower side of that) but longer hair makes that more visible and can definitely seem like youre losing a lot when in reality youre basically only just now noticing.

I dont think your cheeks are gonna swell up first if youre allergic. You'd almost certainly see it circumoral edema before general facial edema. Also youd probably have mad diarrhea cause GI upset can also come from allergies and if thats where you put it... continue to monitor yourself but take nice deep breaths. You will be okay. You can take 50 mg Benadryl if it feels like its getting worse and if anything bad starts happening you can go to an emerg for management (youre watching for lip swelling throat swelling, rapid breathing, that kind of thing).

Well my job kinda blows right now and I recently learned there's probably tax fraud going on, plus there's black mold in my shower. I'm losing weight but the pace is the same it's been for the past year. Only about 20 pounds to go till my goal weight though.

I'm just scared and feel pretty lonely but my closest friend is really busy and stressed herself and I can't really talk to my family about this (except my sister but it's still kind of awkward with her). On the bright side I think I'm going to drag myself to a mtf support group in a couple days which I hope might help

7
TerminalEncounter [she/her] - 2mon

Oh okay, so a lot of stressors in your life right now. It has been pointed out so I wont belabour it, and you know anyway, but yeah your T levels are high and you should get it adjusted. I had to go up and up and up on spiro over time too before I switched to a different anti androgen.

That's such a good plan to attend a trans femme support group! Im sure you'll meet some nice people and get some irl support. I don't know what you and your friends relationship is like - but if that friend came to you stressed and worried, would you be offended or upset that theyre just adding to your problems? Probably not. Im sure they feel similarly, its okay to vent to and lean on your friends. It sounds like you have a good decent plan and solid next steps~ you got this!

One thing they will probably never stop hurting is missing out on being myself in my younger years. And especially not seeking out queer community back then. I love seeing queer kids finding each other, it fills me with hope. But the tears are never far behind.

::: spoiler this got a lot heavier than I meant it to. I wish so much that I could go back and give my younger self guidance. To tell her that it's okay. To give her the nudge to go join the gsa when she was looking for clubs to join in high school. To not worry so much about what other people thought of her. To be herself rather than trying to fit in. To tell her to be honest with her best friend about her feelings. To tell her about estrogen, hrt, and all the wonderful possibilities that she didn't know about. To hug her and tell her that what she went through in elementary school wasn't right, and wasn't her fault, and she didn't have to hide who she was to prevent that from happening again. :::

being trans on the internet is so fun sometimes

you can say "im so cute today!" and at least one person will be like "well thats great for you but im not, why would you personally target me for looking like shit"

its like eating chocolate and saying you like chocolate but someone says they dont and its bad and you should feel bad for liking chocolate because they dont like it

i know society had decided women are acceptable targets for abuse and offloading misery onto, but they do infact have their own lives and interiority and are infact more than just objects

gender affirming transmisogyny

its hard not to feel guilty about having/sharing what few nice moments there are when so many people feel the need to project their own problems/insecurities/dysphoria/etc onto you and make you feel miserable

if you cant share in someones joy you can just not reply

Very lonely tonight.

I saw the one person at work who calls me by my (new) first initial. I really like that, and she called me that to another person who's been there and known me for a long time and she didn't blink an eye. Guess I've been more worried about that then I needed to be.

I should work out something to message her about tomorrow. Maybe that will help with the loneliness. It feels like I can't remember a time without this feeling doomjak

::: spoiler discussion of meat eating, sinophobia okay so we all know about the whole like "omgggg chinese people eat cats/dogs/whatever" whatever that people like to say

ignoring the inherent issues with all of that, who is deciding what animals are and arent okay to eat?? nobody is going "omg these americans are eating cows!!" but if you eat the "wrong" animal and suddenly its not okay to people? doesnt really make sense. the arbitrary x meat is okay but y meat isnt really says a lot about the people who say that kinda stuff.

guess trying to rationalize inherently irrational things doesnt really work :p

(and yes theres the inherent terribleness of the meat industry and whatnot but the people who say these things dont care about that) :::

Feel a lot better on my iron tabs for anemia already, I thought I was that horribly burnt out.

Have a second interview coming up to be a dialysis tech, its one of those retail hell v medical hell showdowns, work at min wage 4x7 a week some weeks to 6x12 others, or work 16x3-5 a week for a few dollars more. At least the technician place provides paid training, and this is one of those places they train you at, so ideal world I can use that to gtfo or at least find something that isn't min wage. Medical stuff is always horrible hours wise and this being as rural and impoverished as it is competition will be brutal for it.

::: spoiler idk what this is People at work keep thinking I look younger then I am. Now, reasons this could be:

-perhaps T hasn't done as much to me as I fear and I still look like a teenager instead of young 20s. Very good and hoping its this
-My hair obscures a lot of my face and what I look like, so people can't tell how I old I actually am
-My appearance is shitty and teenager like and most actual adults would put more effort in
-I behave like I'm younger then I am

idk what of this it is and my perception of self is fuckin horrible so I really do not know. Not sure if I have some kinda facial blindness or its dysphoria or what but I can really only pick out very obvious things about how I look. Please let it be that T just didn't do as much and I get a little freebie few years... :::

I had a dream that I asked apollo (yes the god, been playing too much hades lol) for help, because I thought he was associated with fire and I specifically needed fire to protect myself. Well, fast forward to waking life and im over here reminding myself of the aspects of apollo that don't align with my goals re:colonialism (did you know one of apollo's aspects is god of colonialism??) but this led to an interesting discovery... Adonis was considered "a man with Apollo, and a woman with Aphrodite" now I know this probably wasnt being interpreted in a literal way, but still felt like a win for multigender ppl in my heart ❤️‍🔥

Our memories aren't static videos of past events, but active recreations that change every time you do recollection. The way you recall events depends on your mental state, desires and agenda.

It is terrifying. I often wonder how accurate the memories of my life truly are. Everything I know about other people in my life is based on a foundation of lies and mysteries. Why do I feel love or hatred for this person? I remember them doing this to piss me off/endear me to them, but is my memory just a reinforcement of a pre-existing bias?

...

I can't trust my memories. I can't trust my feelings. I can't trust my judgement. Forget trusting others, I can't even trust myself.

Really shitty thoughts alert

::: spoiler si

I often fantasise about killing myself I'm such a way that other people can find out everything about me. Just laying bare all my secrets, and fucking off while giving a giant middle finger. I want to shock everyone that they knew nothing about me, and leave them with guilt for their shitty actions.

Of course, such a thing is dumb. How can I savour the reactions of people if I'm dead?

And also, what a petty and selfish way of thinking. The others don't deserve to be treated this way. If I'm going to throw my life away, I should at least do it by bombing downing street 10, no?

Kids Bop Kidz for those not in the know, is a group that produces kid safe versions of popular songs performed by kids. It's kind of a blatant money grab, but also I know a few young kids who like being able to listen to versions of recent pop songs, instead of more patronizing stuff.

Famously some of the changes they make to songs are really bad (Thrift Shop). And occasionally the edits are actually better (Dear Future Husband).

They've tackled Chappell Roan a couple of times. Their cover of Goodluck Babe is not good, it's changed to be more heteronormative and just kind of confusing. Their cover of Hot To Go is okay, making the song about dancing and having pizza is pretty fun.

I really love their cover of Pink Pony Club. They make some changes like "FRIENDS are in the bathroom" etc. Whatever it's for kids. However it is kind of wild they didn't change "I thank my wicked dreams" or "Where boys and girls can all be queens every single day" and it's still about leaving Tennessee to go to LA and dance/sing with friends in a club.

But the best thing is it's all that being sung by a bunch of kids, of mixed genders, separately and together in chorus. Released like 6 months ago in the USA, while reactionaries continue to rage about Drag Queen story hours and protecting children. A song that implies it's awesome to upset your parents, leave home to go and be queer. I think that's neat.
