The Elements are the forces of Nature and life, and are incorporated into ritual and magick. Every aspect of existence is bound up in Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. And the fifth element which is Spirit (or also deemed Aether), which is present in each of the other four. Each of the four classical Elements is associated with one of the four cardinal directions; North, East, South and West.
There are also energetic associations, that add great depth to interpretations of how people with different zodiac signs interact with each other, for each sign is associated with an Element, and each Element is different.

[ID: screenshot of a Reddit comment by stayinur_laneboy that reads:
"I feel like a lot of trans people feel this imposter syndrome, for a variety of reasons. So I'll be here to affirm you. The toys you played with as a kid do not determine your gender. The way you felt as a kid doesn't even determine your gender. My concept of gender now is much more developed then the concept I had of gender as a toddler. I played with dolls as a kid, a lot -- I still collect dolls. I like them. I'm also a man. Sue me (laughing emoji)
When I was a teenage "girl," I wanted a boob job. I wanted to have porn star gigantic boobs. Currently, I bind until my ribs bruise (don't do this). For me, looking back, I didn't feel like I was a girl, but I desperately wanted to, so I could be "normal"— in my 14 year old head, if I had gigantic boobs, I could prove to myself and everyone else that I was a woman, and feminine. Every trans person has a different path, and that doesn't make it fake. Not everyone has the exact same experiences."

Anytime i see a bunch of pride flags i have to restrain myself from saying "where mexico" bc i doubt anyone will know I'm referencing this
Genre of character: submissive like a guard dog is submissive
Don’t know why tf people have to be told this in 2024 but
Do not fucking call yourself a trans ally if you demonize or exclude certain alignments.
This means masculine-aligned
This means feminine-aligned
This means people who fit into neither
This means multigender
This means people who’s gender you may not fully understand
This means gender not based on traditional concepts
I can’t believe people still have to be fucking told this, but DO NOT call yourself a trans ally if you saying “I support all trans people… except these ones.” And I don’t care if you’re a trans person who pulls this shit. That’s disappointing.
