Yeah it's this one, I can't think of a single subforum I've hung out in here without its own trans cabal. LP was probably close to 40/60 trans/cis at one point if you only counted the thread starters.

I am right now. The problem is my process on such is lovely, especially if I do the reading in the field, because it means I'm taking initial notes on paper in my christ-forsaken handwriting and then have to decipher and transcribe, then transcribe the novel, then edit for tags and clean it up...

Anyway I'm doing step 2 now while Seth Meyers talks to Ice-T.

Gboard autocorrect wanted me to say "im hi op" instead. Great machine learning.

SwiftKey has been loving with me all week but in the opposite fashion (which is why I don't take notes on the phone...) If it wasn't turning "hottie" into "hogtie" it's "if it kills me" into "if it jills me" and suddenly I'm queerer than ever

I stuck with just calling myself "flexible" for a decade and change, and it worked up until it led to a lot of questioning and I'm trying to figure some stuff out these days because I guess a lot of people read me weird due to it.

No, that's... I won't pretend to speak for all of them but I've dealt with more than a few of the "I'm taking it back" types who are also Exceedingly Online in the worst ways, and yeah, generally anyone who you hear spouting that is likely to be a) a still-regular channer and b) probably not super progressive in their beliefs. It's the trans equivalent of trying to be "one of the good ones" or a Log Cabin Republican or something.

It's mostly so upsetting to me because every single time it happens I think "Well I'll just deal with them despite this because they clearly need some better folks to talk to and maybe they'll improve a bit" and every time there is a tipping point where I just absolutely cannot deal with them anymore and it ends in a short, sharp, shock and they don't do it again.

Because we never speak further.

Also, on a more serious note...has anyone else Bi (and possibly Canadian) had to deal with the incorrigible shame? Like those feelings coming from someone dealing with a far more complex journey (especially in the states) I could understand but I never once experienced any homophobia in my family or, to my recollection, my social group growing up. Yet I am having so much trouble admitting and integrating the idea right now. I've been invited to LGBTQregex events at work (because MS loves regex people) and I feel...undeserving? Does that make sense?

So stop me if I'm coming from the wrong place here but lemme take a leap and see if I have this right. You've got kind of an impostor syndrome thing going wrt your sexuality, where because you're shifting it up after so long combined with you expecting it to be a harsher journey it feels like it might be wrong somehow? Or like you might have said something too soon and now you kinda wish you could undo it or you panic a little and think "oh god what if I was wrong but now I have to keep this up and save face" and it's given you a sort of paranoia that you'll be found out or unveiled like the end of a Scooby Doo episode?

because this is how I feel way more constantly than I should admit about my gender fluidity, especially since I haven't told everyone yet, and I wonder if it's kinda the same thing for a different cause

This.

The fact that you guessed so accurately is reassuring because it means it isn't just me. Not that it's not terrible going through it...

Yeah, entirely sucks in the heat of it.

I also wonder if there's not just some added layer of social/psychological pressure if you're coming out as... I don't want to say "nonbinary" but it feels accurate here, your bisexual, your genderqueer/genderfluid, something that doesn't boil down to "I am/like X now, hard stop" because you sort of expect people are going to start giving you more guff over showing a preference or not being "even" with your presentation/partners/etc.

I see it in gbs a lot and if you correct them they fall back to making it about "graysexuals" and trying really hard to conflate the two. and they're still really mad about tumblr for some reason. just leave the weird queer teens alone! they're figuring themselves out.

Fwiw I will not ever defend GBS, but there's a part of me that does decidedly loathe Tumblr for how it, intentionally and unintentionally, muddies these waters if you're trying to figure your poo poo out and whatever you take as the first "correct" result on some searches might color all of how you see some things until you learn words have actual definitions later or that you've been basing your identity on some poo poo a weird ego lord made to puff up their own petty empire (HI JDR) or...

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

Here is a Christmas story some of you may find amusing and/or cathartic.

Years ago, especially in the era of bookstores shuttering and clearing out stock, I would buy literally everything classified as queer studies or similar just to keep a library I could loan to anyone referred to me for counseling, or so I could be read up on the topic. The problem is that before there was an easy way to get some parts of the spectrum covered, it meant that, say, the only thing I had for, let's say, FtMs were the works of one Max Wolf Valerio, who loving sucks.

This year I went a little overboard with my Secret Santa planning and all of my santee's gifts are either slightly skewed versions of what was asked for, or just stupid cenobite bullshit, which is why...



...I spent all night hollowing out a copy of MWV's piece of poo poo opus "The Testosterone Files" to hide a Paul Blart, Mall Cop blu-ray inside it, a two-fer of trash where I could not tell you which prize the receipient is ending up with is the worse outcome.
