https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLYwQb2T_i8 Hmmm, is the Mono stuff connected directly to your eldritch horror stuff? (Oh wait, @Through The Living Grass already came up with that theory. Probably means we're right.) Apologies for not commenting much, have been overwhelmed with schoolwork lately.

Mmm, not super similar to what I feel, but it just goes to show how varied the experience is. I was looking on the internet for aromantic experiences, and they were extremely varied. For one thing, I don't feel grossed out by the stuff you mentioned. I even like those ideas, to an extent, and it's hard to describe what I do feel. It's like... being together with someone is just being friends but more so to me. I can't see romantic love as anything separate from platonic love. And then maybe I see dating as like sexual/sensual attraction on top of that? That would explain why I still would only ever date women and similar. I think the sub-label that fits best for me is platoniromatic, but it's so niche that I wouldn't really be using it. (look the term up if you like) Maybe cupioromantic too, which is a bit more well-known, but also niche. Maybe grayromantic still? This is weird, though it has only been a few days so ah well.

Yeah sure
-
I mean, being aro doesn't mean I can't date or have a girlfriend. I still feel non-romantic forms of love and affection and stuff.

Hmmm I feel rather foolish. Can't believe I was being closed-minded. Okay, I think you may be slightly biased as an aromantic. As a trans lesbian, I think both liking men and being man are overrated, but I do see what you're saying. ... Heh, I'm probably just aromantic, aren't I... Not sure why I denied that to myself, but I have a few theories. Internalized arophobia is a possibility. I also think that there was a part of me that was worried that other people wouldn't understand if I was aro, and like have a false idea of what that's like. Kinda pathetic, since I'm supposed to be the one who's super self-confident and unafraid about her identity. Or who knows, maybe I just wanted a cooler and more interesting label.

Idk like your own discovery or the ways you personally experience closeness or something Heh, that's not quite the same as what I've experienced, but it's similar. I've had a few crushes and looking back... It's curious. I only had 1 as an egg, so I'm not gonna count that one, because my mental state wasn't fully awakened at the time. The other few were all on trans people I felt emotionally connected to. I knew I liked them platonically, and yet it felt as though maybe there was something more? But that was the thing. I think what was really happening was that I was just so lonely that any sort of deep platonic connection felt super special to me. I suppose I should explain how I found out. Well, I was getting into bed late at night, and I was thinking about @certifiedcranedriver. Now I had already had slight considerations of if I was on the aro spectrum, but this was me really understanding it all. Long story short, I realized that I simply could not pin down what exactly "romantic attraction" was, as everything I pulled up just seemed to be platonic attraction. I then, for the next 1-2 hours began to have a small crisis (which was annoying, I was tired) trying to understand myself. I thought I might have been completely aromantic, but did find a small piece of evidence that implied I wasn't. You see, I would hug anyone if I was close enough to them, even if I do find myself getting close to trans people and other queer people easier. However, I would not cuddle with anyone but a lesbian. Cuddling, I don't find inherently sexual, and I certainly don't find it platonic, so I figure I might have at least some romantic attraction towards women. Hence the label grayromantic. (Yeah, I think I consider kissing more sexual than romantic, idk if that's weird) I still consider platonic attraction love. My friends... especially @certifiedcranedriver, I care about them deeply. It's... heh, it's hard to explain. Anyway remember all those times I tried to explain the difference between romantic and sexual attraction? Apparently I may not have been the best authority on that lol

Last night, (I'll give more details later) I discovered that I seem to be grayromantic (for those unfamiliar, it's a space in-between aromantic and alloromantic) @Through The Living Coder, you're aromantic, yes? (I hope I didn't misremember) I'd like anything you can tell me about that experience, as well as anyone else on the aro spectrum Edit: @Rynturning_Light

Guess who had a small mental crisis last night and now discovered a new facet of her identity~ :3

So, what I'd propose is that not all dysphoria is gender dysphoria. There's plenty of other things to feel dysphoria about besides gender, and gender isn't going to be the cause of all of these "feelings of wrongness".
-
I've felt like that before, it was more or less just random bouts of dysphoria. It wasn't that intense, but still like I had similar symptoms (not enjoying new clothes and stuff). I'm uh, not really sure what to do about that, I just kinda waited until that stopped.

Oh hey just binged the entire series yesterday, was peak Favorite character is Zooble, love them so much (And not just because they're queer as hell)
-
Hey y'all!
I'd just like to tell everyone (especially @Through The Living Girl and @Aeoryi) that I tend to be on the Shard less on weekends, but if you ever want any support from me or have any questions, tag me and I'll show up when I can. In fact, do that on weekdays too, as sometimes I can be overwhelmed by large amounts of posts and don't know what to reply to.
-
Ah damn that sucks. Still, if it means you can get it in 3 months, than that's not the worst outcome. In my opinion it should count, but it might not be the same to these doctors idk
-
Mental changes are definitely a valid reason. The whole point of HRT is to make the trans person feel good. If it would help you feel better, then it's a valid reason. Edit: although, if you need to get some doctor to give you permission, it might be for the best to focus on physical stuff. Depends on how competent the person is
-
Pretty sure he's an ally, but he fits in with all of the chaotic energy
-
I mean, I'd date a girl-adjacent most likely. Really it would depend on the person. Just definitely not men.
-
To me, this sounds like you're stressing over whether or not you're "trans enough" and I've seen this a lot. But don't stress so much over it. You said that you want these changes, even if it's not so much, and mental changes are definitely a valid reason for taking HRT. Nah, that takes time, but I'll update if anything cool happens. Understandable, but I think you did a good job in this post.
-
Wanting HRT is enough to get HRT. If you want the changes, you deserve the changes. Feel free to talk about it more if you wanna try and figure out what you want more On a related note, I just got my HRT dosage doubled!
-
nah it's a joke, one I use far too much lol
-
Yes?

I forgot to post yesterday about that yesterday was my two year tranniversery. Also, the two year anniversary of this post. Go give it rep if you like, it's almost the most liked comment on this thread
-
Oh you're right, I totally should. Hmmm... what should it be... Eh I'll think of something
-
y'all I just got here what the heck's been going on lol

I don't associate AI writing with being 'good' or 'bad', but rather the following characteristics A very... bland style that feels soulless Perfect grammar, more than a human would typically use, but also uses word choice that would be strange for people A lack of true creativity, or an ability to explore interesting ideas (In some cases) strange uses of bolded text or lists I also usually suspect it if I see very long pieces of writing from someone who I wouldn't expect to be writing such a long thing on something, but that's not really the style, just the laziness of the person using AI. Anyway, I think suspecting good writing to be AI isn't a very good idea, as it gives AI more credit than one should, and it causes writers who put effort in to be hurt. (I don't blame you, just wanna inform you) In all fairness, I also thought I was a guy when I wrote that so who knows maybe that made my writing worse or smth. But yeah of course improvement in writing is real if it's subconscious, just like any other skill.

I think you may have misinterpreted what I said. May seeming interesting despite the audience not knowing much about her is a compliment, that you can make it engaging with so little information. It makes me want to see more of her, but in later stories. I've been writing for over two years now, and I've been getting better and better. In fact, here's something I wrote in 2022. It's unfinished, and complete garbage. What the hell was I cooking back then? I don't think I really was locked in on my writing until like 2024, and even then it wasn't great. Really it's only recently that I've begun to consider my writing decent. Ah, it was a joke that this blog post was titled "may_1" but wasn't published may first, but rather March 13th. And then I meant that despite being a "daily" blog, you posted twice in one day (which I liked) I would never touch AI, and I wouldn't respect me if I was. Grammerly also I do not use. I have also taken writing classes yeah so those did help a lot on criticism, as being critiqued didn't just help me write, but I also learned to imitate that.
