Lol. Last night I went on a dating app for the first time this year and it hasn’t even been 12 hours but I’m already maxed out on likes 🫣
I hate it here
‘Cause you know 99% are just cis straight Christian boys who swipe right on every vaguely femme profile without reading. The kicker is they’ll act like they’re chill about me being queer once they realize they goofed—anything to get some. Then they’ll be pissy at me when it doesn’t work out because SHOCKER I am not the quirky ghibli girl of their dreams! 🙄 I don’t hate men but the trust & expectation meter has bled dry, lads.

I think I’m more on the gender-fluid spectrum than I realized. because I think about being in a pretty dress on my wedding day and I like that! but I think I’m more masc-leaning more often. I dunno, gender is confusing and I’m confused.

I’m looking at YouTube makeup tutorials, and boy am I ever not finding what I’m looking for
I have zero interest in being read as female because I’m wearing makeup
Tutorials for men’s makeup are all about how to not look like you are wearing makeup, which is also not what I’m after
I am old and I have wrinkles and jowls and shit now. if I try to plug anything into a search engine about finding makeup that won’t treat my skin like shit, I get a bazillionton hits for “best makeup to hide your wrinkles” and that’s also genuinely not what I’m after.
I just want to look like the gender-ambiguous scary orc creature that I am, but decorative. Why is that so hard?

I fucking hate the Mx. form of address!
I get what it’s trying to do, but it just sounds like miss when it’s said out loud and it’s just feels so artificial compared to Mr or Ms.
Also, this is just me but I don’t want to be referred to by any title - I am not better than anyone else, anyone can just call me by my name. If your a socialist you should call me comrade but otherwise just call me by my name! If you absolutely have to call me something and you’re not a socialist you can call me citizen or something, like the French did, but otherwise call me by my fucking name and don’t put a title in front of it.

You know you're really desperate and you love the characters a whole lot when you're willing to kick your dysphoria in the head and read something that has het in it. If they'd just write it from the penis haver's perspective it would be fine.

As an afab enby person, I’m tired of the reactions I get to growing my hair out. No I’m not detransitioning, and no I’m not “embracing my femininity”. I’m growing my hair out to be more like Jonathan Sims. Nothing else.

Dumb gender thought of the day: "Sure, you could say I'm a woman - in the same way you could say that a dolphin is a fish."
If your first thought was: "okay, so you're definitely not a woman, got it." Congrats! You're correct!
If your first thought was: "well, actually, that depends, as the cultural definition of 'fish' has varied throughout time and context, such as in kashrut, which classifies all fully aquatic animals as 'fish,' with only the ones having fins and scales being kosher, and that's not even getting into cladistics, wherein 'fish' is not a category that you can meaningfully define without including all mammals, and...." Mazel tov! You're also correct (and also a nerd)

All the jokes about Ken and horses are good but I just wanna say it's such a good parallel to how actual young men get swept into misogyny and the patriarchy.
Like they're told to believe it means men get to be cool and manly and have this power but with that comes extremely rigid commands of what they can be as a man and a cycle of self hatred for never matching those gender roles perfectly. Patriarchy tells men that if they just do exactly what is expected of them, then they get all the "cool stuff" that comes with. That doesn't work though when there's only a small group that actually gets that power, but men will keep trying to fit into those roles in hopes that they can.
In the end there are no horses or the myth men are told, it's just endless cycles of self hatred and ingroup fighting.

I love being non-binary but the amout of times I see a post I relate to but it's titled "girl ____" and I'm like well then. that's made me sad
or like "this is for the men" and im sat there sad because why is life so gendered all the time with such stupid things
