04. What do you do to perform self-care when you’re feeling dysphoric?
uhhhh. self-care is hard dfhdkjf i honestly don’t remember how i get out of that mood/mindset when i’m in it because my borderline ass just empties the cache once it’s over. UH. bitch about it, nap, distract myself? Who Knows!
20. What do you wish you could have shared with your younger self about being trans?
for the love of g-d stop trying to overperform femininity please love yourself and stop i am Begging you. my younger self was an absolute disaster of a little girl who did NOT know a DAMN thing about what was going on with her and what she could do to save herself. i literally have to refer to her as another person (largely because i mean. we’re a system she technically Is.) i have no way of knowing whether we’d have been better off or what if we’d realized Sooner that Hey, Being Trans Is Both Possible And Good, but i'd love to believe that things could have been a little better if someone had been able to say to us like... hey. it does not have to be like this. you don’t have to be so uncomfortable, you don’t have to answer to that name, you CAN cut your hair off, you DON’T need to wear those clothes, you DON’T need their love to survive and you WILL be happier if you just. stop. i'd love to go back and somehow make it clear that this was an Option and that we didn’t have to just Resign To Our Fate. and also be like “so instead of chasing boys in a trauma way you could, instead, be a cuter boy.” now THAT’D have been hilarious.
i think my first chosen name was “cam,” after a book series jDKGHS but i didn’t realize it back then... tch. Oh Little Ron. If Only We Knew You’d Have A Thing About Three Letter Masc Names That Lean A Bit Androgynous.
