autumn-trees-of-fire asked: Hey. It's Elijah- back to Autumn now though. This whole year has been a huge turning point. Identifying as the opposite sex took me on a journey of self-realization and figuring out what it means to be human and experience life. The challenges of discrimination brought me great strength, and now I am happy to embrace living life in the skin of who I was born as; myself. I just had to thank you for being that person i looked up to in this critical part of my life, so thanks. ☮
Even though this was likely intended as a private message, I am publishing it.
I’m glad you have come to a decision, Autumn. It is never wrong to explore your gender, and what you did was good. You had the strength to challenge society’s perception of you and took time to give some thought as to who you really are. That may change someday, or it may not. But I am proud that you have shown the strength and determination and devotion to self that so many people lack.
Lizzie Mae is giving me a hard time, and my family isn’t very good with pronouns. They’re being very well-behaved today though.
verticaltrout asked: How do you pack? I have the same packer you, but I don't pack regularly. (I pretty much only feel the need to pack when I'm wearing something or going somewhere in which my junk might be noticed.) It seems like I can't get it to look or feel right.
I have an STP right now, but it leaked so I took the tubing out and haven’t gotten around to fixing it. So, I either put it straight in my boxer briefs/briefs, or if I’m using the STP one, it has a strap.
Where is my testosterone!? I can’t find it. I bet that’s why I’m grumpy.
alright hey look hey
‘cisgender’ is a descriptive term
its not an insult
using it as one really creates an unnecessary negative connotation behind it
if someone does something shitty and it has nothing to do with their gender
dont bring it up
if a trans person stole something you wouldnt call them out by saying “you trans piece of shit”
so if a cis person does something bad and it doesnt relate to them being cis then just
dont mention it
because it has no bearing on what theyve done
there are people who think that ‘cisgender’ is an insult because thats the only way theyve ever seen it used
and thats a really bad thing okay
