  1. So, you might think that I cried because of how hard the test was, and I do think that contributed to it a little. But it was actually because of the details. You see, I was (and still am) stressing about AI and getting a job, and if I'm completely screwed when it comes to trying to get a job in tech with AI destroying the whole market, and just generally worried about the future. To my absolute horror, Part A of the test was about AI, and Part B was about how employment pathways have been changing, and where people start their careers, and that genuinely caused me to have a mini-panic attack about my future and stuff. I must have wasted like at least 15 minutes just panicking/crying. (wasn't too much of an issue, I had enough time) And I hated having to constantly think about this stuff so that I could type my answers. I already did not like this class, but this certainly exemplified my negative feelings.
  2. Like kissing, intimate hugging, and we still call each other girlfriend and that we're dating. Our aroness kind of comes from the way we perceive each other: As really close platonic friends. Yeah, I call myself aro-spec, I just don't know if I'm fully aro, but I haven't been able to find a good label that is well-known enough for anyone to know what i'm talking about. I also have weird views on romance in media, that I don't know if I could describe if I tried. I do find shipping characters in fandoms to be fun sometimes though.
  3. Hey y'all, I'm a bit late I know, but does anyone wanna hear the wacky story where the AP Seminar final test section made me unironically start crying?
  4. I have, and that's what we consider our relationship to be. Still, sometimes I look at aromantic stuff on the internet and find that I can't really relate to a lot of it. Some of the gay stuff we do together seems like stuff a lot of aro people wouldn't do.
  5. Ah lovely, this is cool. I'm somewhere on the aromantic spectrum, but I'm not certain where. I see my girlfriend as an extremely close friend, but I still act in a way which might be typical for a romantic relationship. She also feels similar toward me. It's possible we just feel this way because of autism, but I'd say that that doesn't mean we aren't aro-spec.
  6. Well, I'm lesbian, and am attracted to some enbies, ones that are more feminine leaning. Anyway nah a bisexual can like enbies. The difference between bi and pan is basically: Do you like boys and girls and enbies, or do you like people regardless of gender?
  7. gotta get back into writing

  8. Earlier this year, for theatre class, I wrote this comedic one act play as an assignment. It's alright, I suppose. Do note that it's unfinished, because there was a page limit, and I was trying to come up with an ending that fit, but the plot is still resolved at the end of what I wrote. Post Mortem Mystery.pdf
  9. For sure, I always love looking at it from a psychological, political, and historical perspective. Especially longer ago, stuff thousands of years ago tends to interest me more than the modern day. Stuff like formation of religions and stuff. I wanna write a big thing about criticism of the concept of sin later but not rn.
  10. Yep, that can happen, although as I understand not for everyone maybe? And of course it is different due to differences in the body.
  11. Basically, an AMAB body, (at least by default) produces minor amounts of estrogen and large amounts of testosterone, and can sense how many hormones it has in its body. If it detects a hormone deficiency, it will make more testosterone to counteract this. So taking estrogen will make the body make less testosterone to an extent, because it sees that your body already has hormones, and so won't make as much. One's body makes hormones their whole life, though it increases a lot during puberty. Spiro is still taken, because testosterone is a more powerful hormone than estrogen, and does tend to override its effects if not suppressed. However, if estrogen levels are high enough, or surgery has been done to remove testes, the body won't be producing testosterone, and spiro is unnecessary. (In the case of the latter, it's important that the person who went through surgery constantly take hormones of some form, as after this the body won't produce them naturally.)
  12. Thinking of changing my username for the first time (not counting Ookla month)

      Do I make it another Cosmere reference? I don't really engage with that on this forum anymore, but I am still a fan, and that is what this place is about...

      Not sure what I'd do either way.

  13. Well, me and my girlfriend flirted a little before we made things official. She initiated it, but it was stuff like calling each other cute and using cute emotions like :3, >~<, and ^w^. After that, it wasn't really surprising when I learned of her crush on me.
  14. Really it's just up to the people how they describe their relationship, though I'll admit I've never encountered an enby in a relationship who called it a straight relationship.
  15. Heh, I mean I love the look on pretty much any gal, I'd probably be no exception. But I tend to prefer a more fem look, though what exactly that means to me can vary.
  16. Haha, yeah no. I could probably pull off the look though. Closer, I suppose. Height is about average, I typically wear darker colors, though not always, no earrings, hair is brown but curly, no glasses, and eyes are green. wat?
  17. Ah Pride Month, and with it the return of the rainbow site banner!
  18. Just saw the movie a few days ago, didn't really like it. I did like the more scientific experimental parts though, and I'm told that the book has more of that. Unfortunately, I'm not really the type to consume the original media after viewing an adaptation (I did not know it was a book first when I watched it.)
  19. Why did I suddenly decide to be active on the Shard today?

  20. HAHAHAHA YESS My username and my rep title finally line up!
  21. Well, for her now and me 2 years ago (well okay, actually there was no pronoun field on the Shard 2 years ago, there was a gender field instead but same general idea), it was one of the first steps we took after we realized we were trans. I don't want to put words in her mouth, but for me, it was me saying publicly for the first time "I am a girl," even if it was only on this little forum. Although for me, while changing that was exciting, getting actually referred to with feminine pronouns is what really made me happy, but again, I'm just one trans girl among millions, I can't speak for all of us.
  22. "I wish I was a girl, too bad I'm not" is a phrase I said to myself once lol. Not really sure what to say which the others haven't. Honestly, I'm not great at emotional support compared to the rest of this thread (huge props to y'all btw), but know that I'm super happy for you, and you've been doing a great job getting this all out. I tend to excel more in my expertise with trans stuff compared to general emotional stuff though, so I think I can help with gender stuff and other related stuff.
  23. A little tricky at first, but once everyone started calling me it, I got used to it.
  24. Ah, Whitepine, I love that. Hello, new person. I once posted a similar post in this thread, and everyone here helped me so much, so of course we'd all be happy to do the same. Taking this step is brave, so good job in that. Would you like to tell us more about this or ask us any questions?
