I think about this like once a day

I have heard a variant on it that I really like: "You cannot hate yourself into someone you can love."

Male loneliness this, male loneliness that. Have they tried lobotomies? Tranquilizers? Being fingered by medical professionals? Tearing the yellow wallpaper off the walls of the attic room where your husband keeps you locked up?

you know that trope where it’s princess + knight, but they’ve both been captured by the bad guys and the princess is now gripped by the jaw by the villain, receiving a thin cut to her cheek while remaining completely still with a defiant look in her eyes even as a droplet of blood begins to trickle out of the wound, all while 3 people AT THE VERY LEAST need to have their hands locked on the knight because he’s thrashing around like a wild animal, trying so so so desperately, violently, to get to her?

yeah, that’s porn to me.

I wrote and thumbnailed all the parts of this series thus far (save the very first regarding pregnancy) after one of the most difficult conversations of my life. A loved one who I had expected to support me told me that my trans identity was the source of a lot of pain, and that they were taking time and space to decide if they wanted me to be a part of their life. They said they'd be thinking of starting a family soon, and they didn't know if they wanted me involved in it.

It was hard. It's hard not knowing. And it's hard reaching out for love and being met with closed arms.

I've been so glad that people seem to really like the Dysphoria Demon as a character. In the end, there was always a 'redemption' of sorts planned for it. Because the Dysphoria Demon is a lot of things. It's intrusive thoughts, a negative self-criticism, internalized misogyny, and transmisogyny. It's transphobia and anxiety wrapped up in one.

But I don't think of it as a villain. Or even a monster. It just is. It's a piece of a person who doesn't understand that it's causing pain. It's behaving in the way that it was taught to behave, and with a lot of gentle time and self compassion, it can change. It's never too late.

I'm fortunate now that I don't experience a lot of dysphoria. And I'm fortunate that I've managed, with the help of a few therapists, a lot of reading, and a lot of work, to successfully overwrite a lot of those negative thoughts. It took time. Years, in fact. But those patterns can be overwritten. Not perfectly, there will always be bad days. But the goal isn't to make it all go away. It's to lessen it. It's that a bad day today is better than a bad day a year ago, and the severity of those feelings is more manageable. This is the basis of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, you perverts). And the Dysphoria Demon has always been me trying to share what I've learned about self-love with others.

Being Trans is beautiful. Don't let your mind turn it against you. You are worthy of love.

Since I transitioned, the number of times I walk up to people and make friends has increased exponentially. It’s never ‘too late’ to make friends. My best friend and I (the always wonderful @mystery-incorporated-whore ) met when we were both in our mid twenties, and now we’re inseparable.

This comic features cameos from @imstillalexcomic and @crazygnomenclature ! Check out their work, it's amazing.

I adore my low voice. It's pretty, it has a unique feel to it, and it's mine. I worked really hard on it, and all that work paid off.

My secret little tip for voice training? Learn impressions! I worked out my voice by doing impressions of Lillith (The Owl House), Meg (Hercules)/Rose Quartz (Steven Universe), and Frieren (The Dub version, specifically.) I mixed those voices together with my own inflection to make something that's really mine.

Alien Romulus is a great time. Also, cognitive reframing is a profoundly powerful tool for coping with and managing powerful emotions. I’ll always be sad that I can’t carry my own children, but dysphoria doesn’t have to own that feeling.

This is the first part of an ongoing series about Dysphoria! Check out the next part here.

This series is a spiritual successor to this comic I made a while ago.

every day i get a little madder about the ‘dream job’ narrative… all i want is to have a job that benefits society somewhat, doesn’t abuse me, and lets me live a happy life outside of my job lol. jobs should not be (and arguably can’t be) cosmic destinies and identities

scientists in the 1990s, putting a Get More Purple gene attached to a harmless plant virus into an already purple petunia: please get more purple

the petunia, sensing an apparent honest to god Get More Purple Disease, using the previously undiscovered RNAi antiviral ability to shut down all other purple genes along with it just in case: you put VIRUS in petunia? you infect her with the More Purple?? oh! oh! her children shall bloom white! jail for mother, jail for mother for One Thousand Years!!!!
