Memories
2024-11-07: "Today was a special day. I wore girl clothes in front of another human being for the first time. I visited my sister at the catholic-place-of-some-sort she lives in for the first time since coming out to her, and in her room she offered me some stuff from her closet and said the nuns wouldn't come in while I was there. The clothes she dressed me up in were all very modest, very tradwife, very ethel cain coded lol. I was supposed to do math homework with her, but my mind and heart felt overwhelmed and I just wobbled around on the verge of tears without getting much done. Also I passed out on her bed by accident from sleep deprivation. in less happy news, we briefly talked about... the election. cause of course we had to. apparently due to the election she's considering possibly going to Canada or England in 2 years for the PhD she's working towards, and asked if i'd like to come along. i'm skeptical of both of those as good places to be trans ngl, and about how much might trump change by then that could affect my ability to leave in the first place, so i really don't know."

2024: "remembering the time earlier this year when my computer illustration professor talked about how a conspiracy theorist he used to know unironically believed that soy consumption was feminizing young men while staring at me in an... interesting way" (Source)
2021-09-28: "Hey everyone, I'm currently writing a coming out letter to a set of conservative christian parents. Does anyone here have any good trans links/resources that wouldn't alienate them as hard as the ones I've found with a quick DuckDuckGo search?" (Source)
2021-2023: When I first realized I was trans, I began creating a game, aimed at my parents, to convey my feelings about it all. This project didn't come together, so I soon switched to writing a letter to address their misconceptions of transness instead. Fast forward 3 years, and I don't have much to show for it. Now, I've completely given up on the possiblity of acceptance from my parents. Maybe there was a chance giving them a letter could have worked 3 years ago, but since then the alt-right has solidified it's chokehold on their politics, and their brainworms are in too deep for some plucky 'lil kid like me to ever yank out.
