@Motodrachen there are plenty of cis people who take hormone supplements, though, so that doesn't make you any less you to do so :0 not sure what the market is like for estrogen supplements, but I know I've seen testosterone supplements at my local drug stores many times before. unfortunately it seems like most of your info on the subject is probably gonna have to come from the trans community though
@Motodrachen oh! that I know about, it's because medical professionals poorly understood the condition and genuinely thought that these people had all their gendered sex characteristics working at the same time ("both" sets working). I could be a bit off, though, haven't read up on intersexism in far too long. either way it's not their place to tell you whether or not you can reclaim a slur used against people like you
@Motodrachen I had no idea something like that existed! pangender sounds like it might be a good fit, then, since I doubt anyone would get on your case for it here as opposed to tumblr
@Motodrachen in technicality yes but it's a bit of a minefield when discussing whether or not it should include genders strongly tied to cultures
the context, which includes someone making fun of mental illness
saw a 15 y/o unironically think it was cool or w/e to use ASPD as a punchline like. No. Stop. Please. you are not funny for putting aspd symptoms on your moodboard in plain text. it's not "aesthetic" or fun or whatever to make fun of people in need of help
but at the same time if I did this for every kid I came across I wouldn't have time for anything else
not all masculinity is bad ofc but i think we can safely say that the attitude of "men! don't take pleasure in things unless they are SUFFICIENTLY MANLY. if you decide you want a body wash that smells nice or a blanket that is cozy, you must GROVEL for your INSUFFICIENCY" is toxic. it's like your two choices are "an enjoyable experience" and, at best, "tactical", and goddamn, we gotta go rescue the men from this "you don't get to enjoy things"
@maple the best part about that is the whole "I am very smart" hat they put on by acting like psychology is an ages-old hard science, like... oh you think freud, jung, and maslow are the pinnacle of cutting-edge psych research? when is the cold war ending?
@Nine what are you talking about, I die every time I hear those kids say "thicc"
No matter which social network you're on, following a diverse group of people helps you taking a peek at the other side of your personal filter bubble.
You don't have to agree with everything and everyone, but please, at least try to listen to people and their opinions.
It will help you appreciate your own life, and may just make you a little wiser.
this less of a specific artist & more of a tragically unheard of digital watercolor program called Expresii (expresii.com)
it was originally developed for calligraphy, over the years it's been exanded to be just the BEST digital watercolor app/program there currently is on the market
cons are: it's Windows only, and it because it was made in Japanese first, the translated English menu might be confusing
the pros? endless!! AND IT'S GOSH DARN BEAUTIFUL!!!
"No," said the witch, "love potions are unethical. Magic can't make someone love you. Or even love you again."
The young person gave her a resigned nod and turned to leave.
"But," the witch said, "for cases like yours, I can do an acceptance potion."
"For my parents?"
"Yes."

Iβm a front-end web developer, birdkeeper, rainforest bastard, and a former student of vertebrate paleontology (cretaceous theropod specialty) just trying to get along in this cruel world of furry-wigged titty sparkledogs.
