When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

this could be good, i really like her, it's just unexpected? she's a cool urban lesbian Xena-loving stoner and i'm a clocky older trans woman who does farm stuff and also stoner

she likes you so you can just keep doing what you're doing and say things like "wanna hold hands?" or "can I kiss you" if you want to do those things and see where it goes. It might not work and that's fine but congratulations A Girl Likes You and you can carry that forward with her and others in the future

okay, honesty and directness i can do, and wrt satan we did apologize to the goddess of the forest and she threw a cigarette into the (fake propane) campfire and the rain stopped, so that's goat adjacent

:derp: okay that's a great way to frame it

i might ask her if she wants to watch Xena with me when i'm at her place, she's wildly into xena and goes to xena lesbian retreats and stuff. would that be too much? i've never seen much of the show

also i texted her yesterday and she never replied so i'm assuming the worst, because i am a chump

Watching Xena with her would be excellent because it would an opportunity for her to share something she's passionate about with you. Again, just be honest that you haven't seen much of it. And be honest if you aren't into it either, just not in a dickish way. Lying about being into it just to make her happy would be a bad foundation to the relationship.

And if she starts feeling you up, loving take that for the signal it is.

i wanna watch Xena! its dumb but back in the day i would get the vibe that "this show is for lesbians only" and i got all neurotic that i shouldn't be watching it because people would think i was watching it for pervy cis dude purposes :/

Yeah the recalibration is a lot. Things get easier in a lot of ways because you can start breaking those blocks of feeling like you can't or shouldn't engage with certain things because your brain is telling you something is off. Thanks to tactless friends, I also know that people will start interpreting things you do differently. Ways that come off as really odd for a 'cishet guy' to act will suddenly make sense in their mental models so they're more at ease with you.

this has been so wild to see in my life in the last little while -- some of my friends who were cool with me being a gay dude (which i never said i was but you know) have gone silent since i started transitioning, and other older friends that i'd grown distant from have reappeared and are supportive and excited. it's been really helpful having a LOT of openly queer cousins around to talk to, but none of them are trans so they don't know much about like where to get cheap hair removal :shrug:
