  • Had real positive moment of clarity about my gender the other day. (CW intrusive dysphoric thought, NSFW)

    As some might recall their @ComradeEchidna/Platypus lore, I do softcore bdsm photography modelling (for myself via self-photography it’s a whole thing). So I’ve also seen a lot of bdsm photography of different genders, cis/trans, etc And I was thinking about the phenomena of old sad looking cis crossdressers. You see them on deviant art etc. Just look tragic, sad eyes, awkward looking, etc. And I had an intrusive thought “what’s the difference between them and you?”. Like felt pretty brutal.

    So then I went to look at some stuff I’d done months ago, not recently, and I looked at it with some time and slightly more objectivity and I was like “woah I just see a woman there!”. And I was like huh, lightbulb. Not I could possibly be a woman someday if I put in the work, but like I can be a woman right now (or have been in the past too).

    At least some of the time, because I’m still thinking a sort of Genderfluid/Non binary situation but maybe somewhat more bigender IDK? Anyway it left me feeling pretty zen and less anxious.







  • Playing fallout 4 I love KLEO, the gun selling lady in good neighbour who was assigned assaultron at birth. She’s trans AF, funny, deadly, sexy etc.

    I went down a rabbit hole of reactions from reddit etc at the time the game was released. And everyone is so wrong, no she’s not offensive representation, she’s actually super cool. A woman is still a woman even with a metal body and beam laser head.

    No all assaultrons aren’t automatically women either, yes they’re feminine but in a non binary robot kind of way, KLEO identifies as a woman in a way PAM, Ada and all other assaultrons you meet don’t. She will push back and challenge you if you say she’s just a robot.
