Cross-resharing, much less from Tumblr, is rarely something I do, but I saw this sappy thing about transfem feelings and getting over the self-deprivation that egg life was and it kinda hit me, so now y'all have to see it too: www.tumblr.com/planetarytra...
Ending applies to t4t relationships, btw.
Well I can already tell that this is gonna be this month's banger, so I'll just leave this here on account of my partner being so far from out of the woods.
Hi, I know a bunch of y'all have already donated to this, but my partner Ren is still way short of meeting this and next month's expenses: www.gofundme.com/f/help-ren-g...
(And my emails to respectable, older people in my life about this have amounted to nothing, which I sure feel some ways about!)
I’m not trans, nor fem, but good lord did this hit me hard and made me cry. I’m trying to undo decades of suppressing wants and needs, and trying to not be a burden, and to accept help and love. Thank you for sharing this.
I knew it had kinda come back-- and the text stuff never fully went away-- but it's also definitely the case that after The Purge a lot of people weren't gonna trust them again.
But still, yay cultural continuity.
I became so hollow, so convinced of the burdensome nature of my existence, that my only remaining desire was to disappear from the world quietly and unnoticed. It's been three years since then and I still struggle to believe in my heart that anyone would willingly carry that burden.
I have a trans loved one that this definitely applies to, and my god it's so hard to watch but so hard to try to pull her out of... I'm not close enough to her to really force it y'know? But I see this in her and I want so much more and better for her.
As someone who is a trans woman at heart but living as genderfluid by circumstance this was incredibly painful to read as I can tell I'm still doing it
(lying to myself so i dont have to change) diminishing desires is good actually, because there aren’t enough resources to go around. im doing my part to save the planet,
Well yes I did all of that but actually I am perfectly well adjusted today and definitely don't do any of those things no don't look at my bedroom or ask me to count how many irl friends I have that's a non-sequitor
perilously ambiguously kinda transfem adjacent, but this resonates too. Somewhat, anyways, it still feels like I'm doing some projection to jump the final third of "this is like me." Maybe less people-pleasing, more executive dysfunction.
I mean, it's hard to disentangle the two when you grow up in a society that's really inclined to traumatize trans kids whether or not they know they're trans, you know?
it feels like i haven't done a proper job of acknowledging that navigating the world as a nerodivergent trans girl was very stressful, ive just sort of blamed all my trauma on people who directly hurt me. the reality is, its mix of both.
hi, my love. i forgot to go back here when you mentioned it again (the next topic change threw me when i came back to a couple hours of notifications) but here i am. and now i've seen that part you mentioned no one commenting on.
jesus christ you're good at this.
