I have no idea how hard it would be and my first thought was that the surgeon would just see extremely easy to get dollar signs, but I trust jbt's opinion re: surgeons much more than my own.

now that jbt made me consider it I could totally see how asking for prosthetics could make a surgeon prone to gatekeeping get all wishy-washy and treat it like a sign that she isn't really committed or some such bullshit.

yeah that's my concern. especially in Florida

as an aside anyone know how to go about getting a us birth cert unfucked when you were born overseas to us citizens on military duty? this seems like a particularly niche clusterfuck and i'm trying to gather some information for a friend who's in the process of getting her name and marker corrected

I’ve always followed quiltbag threads out of not wanting to be an rear end around quiltbag peeps and now it turns out one of our best friends’ kid might potentially be trans/uncertain and I’m SO grateful for how well their educators/parents have been handling it (aka let them figure it out). Kid’s such a sweetheart too.

so thanks everyone for sharing your experiences <3

i'm not ace cause i'm definitely into women but i'm also not really inclined to go for a relationship or FWB or something right now, partly because it's stressful, partly because i have no idea how to do it, partly because i have 0 confidence and am a huge loving goon

it's also something i just wanna avoid, so i guess volcel?????????????

It sounds like you do want a romantic relationship or some kind of similar closeness, but you don't feel like you can do that right now, so you're choosing not to pursue it. I want to affirm that that's an okay choice to make, because you sound like you're beating yourself up about it - I remember some of what you've said about your reasons for not pursuing relationships further back in the thread. It's completely okay not to pursue something right now, even if you know you want it.

But I also know sometimes it feels weird as hell to want something and not be working towards it - I see you poo poo-talking yourself from time to time on this topic. A lot of us have that habit; my therapist still calls me out on it from time to time even though I've been working on it. It's not easy - those negative thought patterns can be hard to get rid of - but if you do decide to, y'know,

"get therapy and let yourself be vulnerable"

then that's another thing your therapist might be able to help you with.

i'm just glad that my (close) friends are the type who're cool with physical contact. it's nice to give and be given hugs, or to just be able to lean over on them on the couch or whatever

the weird modern state where non-sexual physical contact like that is reserved only for like, deep relationships or partners or whatever, is weird


if you don't know what this is, ace = asexual, someone who has no interest in sex. there's also aro (aromantic) for someone who has no interest in romantic relationships either

everyone's definition of asexualism is different but as far as i'm concerned if you have no sexual desire then it fits. i'm still romantically interested in women (or at least, my partner) but i have no interest or desire to ever have sex and find it kinda gross tbh


sexuality, orientation, and gender are all way too complex to describe well


e: aro people arent necessarily aromatic and if they are they may want to consider a shower

It's pretty much everything right now and it's hard to tell how much is whatever new auto-flagging they put in place being set to scorched earth and how much is people gaming the system in rage. Some artist friends of mine are getting only their most tame images hit and actual titty untouched, a few people were thinking it was searching for skin tone colors but that seems to have been disproven, one of the waves is hitting text-focused blogs... You should probably presume at the moment that it's gonna slam hard on queers, yes, given that it's not really striking me as a "let's give the benefit of the doubt" policy on any level

content filters will always reflect an angry midwestern conservative grandma's views because those are the only people who truly care about such things, and people who listen to them are the only people who bother to code easy to use/implement filter lists.
