Sometimes people need to think about things for a while. Let it marinate so
they can understand it a bit more. Fucking fascists keeping people from
thinking.

Ah, well, that time period for me was after I came out, so I was already past
the fear of being seen.
I could only ever really get the "girl thoughts" to go away with, um,
self-directed sexual attention, so I would often do so. Once every day, no more
than once. But... often for hours at a time. It was a LOT, but I resisted as
best I could, the only way I knew how, until eventually my internals would
overcome.
... anyway "girl thoughts" were just "my thoughts" I was just too much of a
dumbass to tell.
Like, I knew I was trans, but I didn't want that, because it felt like a flaw.
Because that's what I knew, that's what I'd heard, and that's how it felt, to
be denied the consistency of biology and person.
I would never go back. I love who I am, and I think if I had met me I would
have adored who I'd become.
I just... didn't think about the future much, hyper-vigilant much? Yeah.
totally. I get it.
I've never overdone things. At least not to a dangerous degree. It's mostly
just... stuff to me.

I think we should assume that Palestine is lost, and use their memory as fuel
for our rage.
They were slain by both terror and war, famine and plunder, prison and lost
borders, and finally, fire from the sky. Now, dust once more, as the stardust
they were is stone forevermore. Tragedy, mercy.
I hope palestinians abroad outlive the children of their butchers.
This sentiment goes for all of genocide.
Those of my heritage, that of the American enslavement and conquerenment, they
are despised by me. That's not all "being an American" can be. We have virtue,
we have honor, and we must respect the liberty, freedom, and democracy of home.
Crucial aspects to living an ethical life, yet now we are assaulted by the very
powers that led Israel's governmental institutions to commit such holocausts.
Fighting terror is one thing.
Collateral damage is another.
They learned the wrong lessons from their visions of the Americans, and look
where that leaves them.
History, it is often said, reminds.

I mostly spent my time on Reddit, which was much more isolating than IRC. I
think I must have been drawn there because it felt like home - I was
homeschooled on a farm, and Reddit kept me at the distance of an arm.
it's funny, sometimes meeting a trans girl can make things "click". And
sometimes being friends with one helps you work through things that you just
can't tick
[off your list of things to work on]
habits you can kick? idk sometimes rhyming lies, and you have to break rhythm
or pentameter or whatever.
anyway I've always worn pants. I do dresses on special occasions, but dresses
are hard(er) to ride a bike in. Plus, no pockets, and purses are easily stolen.
At least with a pocket you can feel someone slip the exact same model as your
phone into your pocket when you're least expecting.
... hypervigilance strikes again...
I first transitioned in... 2014ish? I think? I don't really remember because I
had so many more interesting things going on.
