I kept a full beard until like 8 or 9 months in. Not even because I was trying to boymode, because I liked it. hopefully getting that shit annihilated soon. When I started E I was a he/they, still use my birth name now, I’m so out of whack lmao

I know I’m not doing it wrong, but I have so much admiration for girls like you it just seems like you’re so in tune with your feelings and able to know how to view yourselves in the most affirming way. it’s inspiring and I like hanging out with people who commited more confidently than I have because I feel like I have a lot to learn and grow about

after a grand total of 18 months on E, i have decided to change my profile pronouns from they/them to they/she. feel like i’m doing this all out of order

the whole “it was an AI post anyways” line is so fucking dismissive and it really cements why so many of us cared about it in the first place - it hurt to read. It hit sore spots that were invisible to a lot of other people, and those people who didn’t see those sore spots continued to hit those same sore spots harder throughout the discussion. So what if it was an AI post? That actually doesn’t matter at all. It opened wounds, that’s the part that matters, deflecting to it being AI is just another way to dismiss the feelings of men for being irrational.

The Will to Change, though imperfect, is one of the most important pieces of theory I have ever read

I understand where you’re coming from and I felt the pain you’re feeling. I’m transfem and this blatant double standard men face in regards to the complete dismissing of their emotions - and having it applied to me as well, but not cis women - is easily one of the most painful ways I get misgendered, not the least of which because of how often I get it from “allies” and other queer people. Cisgendered men are often, uncomfortably, better people to talk about some types of big feelings with than cisgendered women, even queer ones. Shit’s whack.

you can’t only say this to people who you were on the opposite side of the struggle sesh of

I completely agree with the no-relitigation sentiment but you have to stick to it in good faith. the top level comment this is under is relitigating too.

the post itself does somewhat obviously take a side, comrade

best nickname by FAR for Kamala and Trump is too chicken shit to use it because he also wants to bomb Gaza just as much if not more
