  • uhhhh this is a long rant into the void, i’m sorry in advance

    recontextualising my childhood (cw depression)

    i’m now realising that i was very likely depressed when i was 14-15. at the time i remember thinking that i wasn’t charismatic/masculine enough for anyone to spend time with. i thought a lot about suicide but never considered it. i watched SO many videos like “How to get people to like you”. but i didn’t think i was depressed then because i had a group of friends, now i don’t think they ever really cared about my wellbeing at all. then, go figure, i would crush so hard on any girl that showed me any lick of compassion or just feel weird that i was trying to hang out with someone of the other gender. it’s infuriating how much my friends, family, the internet, all bullied the masculinity into me and that i had no idea what was wrong with me (was yet to figure out there was nothing wrong, just trans and autistic).

    well i was at that low point until i started talking to someone and one day she invited me to this charity event that i cross-dressed in. her friends, that i had known but not really connected with before, helped me get ready and they made me feel so fucking pretty omg. i never forgot that, it was the best night i’d had in a really long time (even if my friends laughed at the pictures when they saw them). well, full of anxiety i asked that girl out and she said yes. we dated for 10 months or so and i think the whole time i was living vicariously through her - “while boys can’t go to girls hangouts and help do girl things, boyfriends can” kinda mentality. the break up was kinda expected but losing that group of people that actually cared about me was really tough.

    there was quite a bit of repression after that but i’ll save that for another rant lol

    anyways, thank god for hexbear-trans. i’m sad that it took me a while to figure out but i’m glad it happened when it did






  • a second uninstall has hit tiktok gender-reveal

    reason being

    i really thought that if i carefully curated my algo then i could avoid the shit that burnt me out in the first place.

    while there’s so many trans users on there i’ll miss seeing, the feed equally rewards engaging in content that I like and dislike. end result being a fuck-tonne of radfems talking mad shit about anyone that’s not a cis-white woman. the general uptick in 4b bullshit (australian state media even had a fucking article about it) isn’t helping that either…

    so i think the healthiest thing for me to do rn is to just disengage


    imma try to work past my lifelong posting anxiety and lurk less, i have gay takes that must be heard










  • cw: sad; transphobic parent

    i came out to my mum on the weekend and it didn’t go too well. she’s been pretty selfish with the whole thing and she keeps asserting that she gave birth to a son and doesn’t have a daughter. i’ve blocked her for now, i don’t know how this resolves but i have other people in my life who do actually care about me so i’d rather spend my time with them.

    on the bright side i’m out to the majority of my friends now, i’ve switched over all my socials, and my skin is getting softer! i really love being trans, i just wish i didn’t have to deal with any of this other shit…
