    i've been really feeling myself recently in terms of my physical appearance. bridget-pride

    i feel like i've hit a point where the dysphoria days are so much less frequent, and i've really hit my stride in terms of confidence in that department. like, i don't care about passing so not gonna bring that into the equation but damn i'm hot lol

        yeag, i know what it's like to be stuck in the opposite mindset and i empathise so much but I do think its an attitude that we should encourage and try to proliferate. i also acknowledge it's easier for me than a lot of folks because i am very much not a binary trans woman just a total gender gremlin who leans futch tomboy

          Same same, legit everyone would be happier if cisnormativity were not weighing down on them constantly =) Which is also a societal thing to some extent of course, but you can shift your mindset in a lot of ways that help.

          (Also the bit you added about being a "total gender gremlin who leans futch tomboy" is so real waow)

          attitude that we should encourage and try to proliferate

          Agreed!

          it was definitely easier when the binaries crumpled and evaporated for myself. Especially when you see how much of it is societal labelling. Putting everything and anything into little restrictive bullshit boxes just didn't fit me personally. It was very freeing.
          I've always been a void goblin, just took a long time to realise but so glad when I did
