I am trying to not just give up, but yeah… sometimes feels like I’m on that path.

Random other shows/sets I can remember:

Colin Hay
Amadan
Level 42
Real Big Fish
Mars Volta
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Leo Kottke
Hot hot heat
Coheed and Cambria
NoFX
Blue Oyster Cult
Antiflag

I’m lucky, very light skin, mostly very dark hair. I’ll have some electro cleanup but I can actually go a couple days without shaving and minimal visible growth.

I see what you did there…..

She’s fuckin’ right.

Kid me would be confused but pleased with where I am.

Like this isn’t some densely populated city. These are fundamentally rural areas and they don’t take kindly to douchebag outsiders who overstay their welcome.

That is so rough. Im glad laser has has had a good impact on my facial hair growth as it was (is) definitely one of my biggest sources of dysphoria.

Prior to it I basically had permanent beard shadow and it was agony. Even if I had shaved an hour before it was always visible.

Returning to feminine presentation was like returning home after an unpleasant journey.

And increasingly as time went on, boymode went from a mildly uncomfortable chore, to actively distressing.

So yeah, tldr, do not ever want to even pretend to be a man anymore.

When I still presented as a man routinely, if I went more than a few days without returning to femme presentation I would get super cranky and depressed. I didn’t even notice the correlation at the time.

It’s subtly corrosive in a way that’s so hard to describe.

I wish broadly wish more cis people understood how corrosive it is for us to have to hide like that.

It’s not just wearing men’s clothing, it’s fundamentally suppressing who we are for the comfort of others.

And or a concussion and several broken limbs.

Oh god/goddess don’t get me started.

Hell, even within their own supposed expertise they can be shockingly ignorant.

I don’t know if it’s just my own exposure and bias but I swear Silicon Valley’s are particularly bad about this.

It’s astonishing to me the extent to which so many of them really do think they’re lords of creation.

As opposed to the reality that they were some combination of privileged, lucky, or both and fell ass backwards into opportunities.

help me get the word out about how this cis man is preying on trans people’s vocal dysphoria! 💀
