If You’re Gonna Have A Big Celebrity Voice A Character In Your Animated Movie You Should Show It To

Still not over the fact that there's people out there, putting their laptops in their fridges to cool it down..

Is it weird i started to feel more comfortable being feminine after realizing i was a trans guy?

NOPE!!! NOT WEIRD AT ALL THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME

when i sat out to transition, i had a few things in mind. i knew that i needed my voice and body to be different. i knew that i was not a cis woman. however, i was still drawn to femininity. at the time i was awakening as a gay man and i realized that i had a feminine side, but it had nothing to do with womanhood. absolutely nothing. to me, my femininity is part of my manhood, and my genderqueerness, not my womanhood.

i transitioned partially so i could feel comfortable being and dressing feminine! i actually told people that during the beginning stages of my transition, that i was excited to masculinize myself so i could be femme without dysphoria. being seen as a feminine cis woman was utterly painful, but living as a femme gay man... that was liberating. i finally felt so many pieces of myself click into place.

you are NOT alone in this, i hear this experience a lot from other trans men, and ive actually heard the opposite from tons of trans women- that after transitioning into womanhood, they felt a lot more comfortable in their masculinity. feminine doesn't mean woman. masculine doesn't mean man. it's okay if you find that femininity is now much more comfortable and enjoyable after realizing you were a guy. being a feminine man is a beautiful experience

i hope that helps! feel free to ask any more questions you may have! you're definitely not alone and it's not weird at all!

i think like. so much would be solved if we normalized the fact that some people do experience delusions and hallucinations. like yes, its something that those people need help with/need more accommodations for, but we could use being more understanding of people with psychotic symptoms in general.

like, i can tell you that at least one person raving about conspiracy theories is someone who experiences delusions, and if we understood that, we wouldn't have such a hard time getting them back to a more grounded perspective.

i am someone who experiences delusions and I do get incredibly triggered by all the unreality bullshit, the simulation theories, all that unreal bullshit, and it is actively negatively impacting people like me.

we could really use a better understanding of those with these symptoms, because acting like having hallucinations/delusions makes you a killer is a take that makes zero sense. Like, genuinely, you have no idea what you're talking about if that's where you immediately go. I can point out a bunch of shit discussing the darkness of humanity and that logic applies to anyone, regardless of mental illness. Delusions and hallucinations don't mean you'll act on anything, it just means that your brain is creating false images or thoughts, and that can get really fucking confusing.

We could use a little more empathy or compassion towards those with these symptoms, because obviously this shit isn't going away for us, just like other disabled people dealing with their disabilities. We are not idiots or monsters, our brain just gives us random false shit sometimes and it really fucking sucks. Be more understanding or I'll telepathically insert false shit into your brain one day, y'all should see the nightmare that some of us have to deal with.

okay fellow autistics & people who have sensory issues or trouble eating specific foods: hear me out.

I’ve been trying my best to eat more fruits & vegetables & more generally “healthy” food (I don’t think we should label specific foods as “good” or “bad” because food at all is better than no food etc, but that’s besides the point) & I’ve realised something.

If I pretend to be a specific animal while eating a certain food, it can be marginally easier to eat. HEAR ME OUT, OKAY?! Put away the reactionary part of you that goes “wow, that’s cringe”, because this genuinely helps me. I don’t care if you laugh, grow up.

For example, if I pretend I’m a bunny rabbit while eating celery or lettuce, it sort of becomes fun! It turns into me playing a part in my head, kind of. I also do this with sultana bran/raisin bran kind of cereal, where I’m like “hehe this looks like bird/rabbit food” & it becomes easier!

I just thought I’d share this trick in case it helps anyone else. It’s alright if it doesn’t help you, but I’m proud of the efforts you’re making to get better at eating certain foods, it’s not easy. & if you’re finding it hard to start trying foods out of your comfort zone, I’m proud of you as well 💕💕
