    I have a girlfriend! And also I’m her girlfriend! And idk if this makes sense to anyone else, but I’ve decided that I’m agender but also have girl vibes. I don’t have a gender, I’m not a woman. But, in spirit, I’m a girl sometimes

      Okay, I asked her to use more fem terms on me, to see how they feel. And she keeps saying I’m a good girl and uhhhhhhhjhhhhhjhhhh Also she said I looked like a cozy lesbian when I wore a flannel and felt awful cuz I thought I looked like a man. I love her so much And so I asked a bunch of friends and they all Saud shit like “oh yeah, you give fem vibes,” and “yeah I was surprised you used they/them not she/they”

      Why am I the last person to see something about myself??,n Life is confusing

          It’s okay to have femme vibes! If it’s something you really like try presenting a little more femme and having people use she/they! Cis people kinda suck at the she/they and he/they pronouns, cause they never use the neutral one unless you put it first lol

          I’ve encountered plenty of enbys who only really have a gender amongst the trans, I dunno we all kinda get it and accept it.

    My wife’s girlfriend and one of her other girlfriends came over this weekend and we all got drunk and had a wonderful evening chatting about mental health and getting to know each other.

    It was nice. Polyamory is so cool. 🥰

    I wish I was less autistic so I could at least come out as nonbinary, but the crippling fear of being perceived as such is too much I swear to god

    This is why it is so nonsensical for people to keep telling me “stop caring what other people think” because what other people think and their perceptions of me quite literally shape my reality

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    sorry if this is the wrong place to post … after that thread last week (or was it just a few days ago??) i’m trying to become vegan, i’m assuming that will have some effect on hormone levels? does anyone have experience with that?

      As far as I’m aware being vegan doesn’t really have any sort of effect on hormone levels. The whole thing about estrogen in soy is just a myth unfortunately. I’ve been vegan for 5 years and on HRT for 14 months with no problems.

        Yeah, I can’t think of any mechanism in terms of diet and feminizing HRT. If anything, from what I’ve read in the literature, red meat (probably meat in general) increases T production - except I’ve also seen research that it drops sperm counts? So I dunno, I’d say go vegan with 0 concerns about how it effects or doesn’t hormone production. Especially if you regularly test hormone levels anyway.

      The ace people I’ve talked to who have sex usually talk about it like satisfying the urge to scratch an itch, like not fulfilling or something you’d seek out (who wants an itch just to scratch??) but something to be done nonetheless.
