Sometimes I'm worried that my gender might be masculine(ish) Miyazaki film characters who really, really needed therapy but somehow avoided it by having a ✨girl✨ swoop in and do a lot of emotional labor to teach them a valuable life lesson. I think subconsciously I've avoided a desire to date women because I don't want to hurt them by accidentally putting them in that position, which causes me some level of gender dysphoria - I only have that level of self awareness from being hurt by people treating me like a manic pixie dream girl (thanks ).

I really have no idea what to do about all this, considering I'm AFAB and find my current body really, really, really ridiculously good looking, but also want people to emotionally treat me as masculine? 😖 Also I am in . Also I have very bad imposter syndrome and constantly second guess my every feeling.

I wish there was a word to describe my experience so I could easily find and talk to people with similar struggles.

In 1927, Helene Shelby filed a patent for an interrogation device. It was a human-operated skeleton with red lights in the eyes, megaphone in the mouth and camera in the skull to record a confession. Why there isn’t one in every police station, home and office today is a complete mystery.

@Crazypedia I like because it covers so much ground so quickly, and I can choose to elaborate or not depending on the audience. I can also say things like "My partner and I are queer" without having to spell out all the alphabet letters that the two of us combined have... Including but not limited to: 💖🏳️‍🌈🥰

Anyone their (especially but not only romantic and/or sexual) this might help:

I've realized that if I have to consider whether or not I'm attracted to someone/an aspect of them, the answer is generally no.

I may like/ be attracted to them and have to consider why after I realize attraction is there, but not in the opposite order.

After nearly two decades of questioning my orientation(s) without really reaching any conclusions, I'm tempted to screw labels all together and just say I'm ISO my own spaceship crew.

Queer Autistic thought loop of the day: am I asexual? or am I just traumatized from a lifetime of social rejection from everyone except the ones who want to fuck me?

Okay, so I find myself

If I normally feel like a cis-het man, but my choices in and steer me towards identifying better with the female characters... Does that make me ?

It's not something I usually think about, but like even before I had the excuse of "following around a woman's butt while I play games", I would pick the female character when given the option.

Or am I just a weird pervert?

Hey, folks.

If anyone who reads this is , or the like, while I'm of the transfemme bent, I'll be glad to offer answers to whatever you want to ask. This isn't an but it's adjacent.

I can't promise a full answer to anything you want to know, but if it's within my scope, I'll be glad to at least provide some details on.

Also, I'm six kinds of screwed up, so keep that in mind! No psychiatrist, me.

But hope I can help someone out there.

I don't understand the conjecture that life must have started with a cell. Couldn't life have started without a cell membrane, e.g. underground in wet sands? Have we been looking for contemporary acellular life, nowadays? (not talking about viruses)

I work with and am used to blunt, strange and . As kids get old it’s easier to be upfront with them about things that might be outside the sphere of what they “know to be true.”

I am a . I have never been married and was not in a relationship with my child’s father. This can push a few boundaries with the kids, especially if they have quite .

I’m also an . I don’t promote that at work but if I get asked directed if I believe in , I don’t lie. Today I had the following conversation with one of my cherubs, who’s 6:

Kid: Do you think about ?
Me: Sometimes.
Kid: I think about Jesus a lot.
Me: Oh. Ok.

I wanted to tell her I did, too when I was that age, but it wasn’t in the way she does. I was if god was real and if Jesus even existed.

I hope her belief brings her peace or she grows out of it. Anything else is a waste.

Man, I’d love to go a week at work without an question!

Stay yourself, no matter what they say!

One last milestone reached in the last 2 days.

I am currently working at a big customer (we have a constant office there because we do a lot of onsite support).

The company i am working for is based in Taiwan, and from time to time the Leading team tours the world to visit the big customers (we operate world wide). The last 2 days 4 of out top leaders (president etc.) visited the company ..

Now i was thinking about my style .. should i wear my usual style(shorts, nylonleggings, legwarmers, barefooted) or better be a little bit more on the "normal" side.
I decided to stay with my usual style, and it was a good decision. No one really cared :o).

I love my company .. down to earth, judging ppl by what they do, not how they look .. we need more bosses like that!
