I would read stories and look at pictures of penises turning into vaginas and men turning into women and it would fill me with longing, yearning, and despair at my circumstances. then, I transitioned, got SRS, and now I don't get aroused at the thought of such things. It's just part of who I am. I used to be aroused at the thought of wearing diapers. I would read stories and play games of people being cursed by witches to pee their pants, or people who were stuck at a movie theater and couldn't make it in time or whatever. These things would fill me with longing, yearning, and despair. Plus, I had some medical issues that made me lose track of my... um, "currently utilized waste storage capacity" inside my body. which put me in some unfortunate situations right around the time when my sexuality was developing. Now, I wear diapers all the time. I don't get aroused at the thought of such things anymore. It's just me, as I am. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5331 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────── ┌──────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: personal-sexuality-mentioned │ └──────────────────────────────────────┘ and nothing of value was lost ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5332 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────── ┌──────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: personal-sexuality-mentioned │ └──────────────────────────────────────┘ diapers are dysphoria-related-harm reduction items~! ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5334 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────── ┌───────────────────────┐ │ CW: cursing-mentioned │ └───────────────────────┘ every value judgement is a "hell yeah!" from those who already agree with you and a "aw fuck off" from those who don't. this is probably either a good or a bad thing, who can say. if you don't take a stand, nobody will like you, but if you aren't careful, you'll poison your well of support.

I however, am different, I do believe in my heart that I am my own thing, and thats as close to enlightenment as I can imagine. are we not all making things up as we go? every moment of life is new, there is nothing that is not unique about every precious moment you experience. therefore, I do believe that rigid adherence to orthodoxy (like a bible) is opposed to our purpose here. "I think, therefore I am" implies that original thought is our true purpose. I believe we are here to express our true nature. To learn and apply lessons, to teach the young, and to build a strong and stable world built on collective kindness and trust. All knowledge is derived from the insights gained from standing on the shoulders of our ancestors. Humans crave novelty. Resisting that isn't virtuous. If god is made in our image, then I do believe that god would crave novelty as well. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5340 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────── ┌────────────────────────┐ │ CW: religion-mentioned │ └────────────────────────┘ the devil will quote scripture ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5341 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────── what a friend we have in time gives us children makes us wine tells us what to take or leave behind ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5342 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────── I love gay people because gay people are special precious and unique ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5343 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────── https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqhH-hhW8i0 this song reminds me of me ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5344 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────── what if your personality was determined by the type of music your parents listened to when you were a child? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5345 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────── you can't win every battle, but if you're losing then you've lost. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5346 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────── this here is the hardest, most difficult information campaign the centralized intelligences have ever under[taken/gone] ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5347 ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────┐ ║ "society at large" or whatever. │ ║ │ ║ www.neighborsneighbors@user-1798 │ ║ │ ║ [not a real website or email address] │ ║ │ ║ yeah but it'd be cool if it was │ ║ │ ║ [oh yeah well I think you're cool] │ ║ │ ║ whaaaat, no really? │ ║ │ ║ [trust is impossible so don't ever expect it] │ ║ │ ║ ... rude │ ║ │ ║ [no it's like... if you can never trust anyone, then why not design your │ ║ operations as if trust was not a thing that was possible] │ ║ │ ║ ohhhhh like binary operation terminators │ ║ │ ║ [...
