So I'm just questioning my gender, but I'm sorta stuck. I'm amab and that doesn't bother me sometimes, but sometimes dysphoria is overwhelming. Like I want a female body but I don't mind being seen as male or female. I'd honestly prefer to be seen as both but still physically transition.

I get that. Trans people have a very intimate relationship with gender roles and can often see how the grass is greener on both sides of the fence. As much as dysphoria wanted me to be seen as a male, sometimes I wish people still treated me socially like a girl (because there are some benefits to that). On the other hand, i love being treated as a guy because it matches my personality and helps combat my dysphoria. It makes sense that, having seen one side, you’d want to be socially in the middle instead of on either extreme. 

It’s quite possible you’re a trans woman who just doesn’t want to bother with gender roles or social transition as much. I know for me, physically dysphoria was definitely stronger than social dysphoria, so I’d be fine with being seen somewhere in the middle as well. I don’t think it invalidates your gender at all. 

I had an idea similar to this but I like this idea better

film idea: two people of different genders swap bodies but one or both of them find that they actually like living life this way and the way they’re perceived by society in this other person’s body is actually really pleasing in a lot of ways- euphoric even. When they’re perceived as this other person they can behave in ways and enjoy hobbies that they would’ve been scolded for if they’d been read as their usual gendered selves.  However, they slowly realize that while the gendered aspects of their lives feel so much better, they’re still being expected to be someone else with a completely different life to them and they start to miss their family and friends.  The film culminates in them finding the other person in their body and doing whatever magical thing leads to them going back in to their original body and back to their friends and family, whom they then come out to as transgender, having learned a lot about themselves by how much they enjoyed living as someone of a different gender but still not wholly wanting to throw away the life they’d already established.  The film ends on a happy note with both protagonists wholly accepting themselves and never having to pretend to be someone else ever again - not the person they swapped bodies with nor the person everyone thought they were before the incident but wholly, truly themselves.

fun tip for cis people: instead of saying “back when she was a he” or “back before [birthname] became [preferred name]”, try not being a pile of shit by saying something like “before she came out” or “before she began her transition”!

Amen... And even if they ask for forgiveness, you don't have to give it, especially if they fucked up your life so hard. There are certain people I will never forgive and I have my reasons, and that is no one's business besides my own.

Forgiveness isn’t a required part of healing for everyone. You aren’t required to forgive someone who abused you or bullied you in the past, even if they’ve changed now. You can start to come to terms with what happened to you and try to cope with it without forgiving the person who did it to you, and not forgiving someone doesn’t make you a bad person. 

Forgiveness is often portrayed as being the right moral choice, but it’s not morally wrong to do what’s best for you and your recovery. Sometimes, forgiveness can actually be detrimental to your healing, and being unforgiving can keep you safe. And some people don’t deserve to be forgiven, no matter how long it’s been.

And finally? Traumatized people shouldn’t be shamed for not forgiving the person who hurt them and instead be allowed to deal with their trauma in whatever way is the most helpful for them.

Back to school - What’s on my phone?

Okay so I don’t know about you guys, but I used to be obsessed with what’s on my phone videos. And with back to school season being at full force, I have decided to make a what’s on my phone, but talk about apps I use for school, and anything that helps me stay productive/active (including routine)

For this post I’ll have a bunch of screenshots, so sorry in advance if it’s long. I’ll order them by category, so you can easily find whatever you might be interested in.

This is my homescreen/school folder (some apps are covered up because of privacy reasons). Wallpaper by @emmastudies. It also shows most apps I’ll be talking about in this post.

Planning/Time Managment

App #1: Wunderlist

It’s a basic to-do app, but I now also use it for keeping track of other tasks. In the app I have 4 different lists. Main (for basic tasks), schoolwork (homework and essays), social media to do (which has 5 sub lists; youtube, studyblr, langblr, studygram, and main instagram), and to buy (for groceries, but also my school supplies checklist, makeup checklist, ect.)

It is really easy to keep track of everything, as it allows you to add due dates, reminders, notes, and even attachments to your tasks. You can also add sub-tasks, so if it’s a step by step task you can add those in too. And the best part, you can sync it with other users, so if you have a group project you can add them to the task or list (if you have multiple tasks together) and keep track of each other’s progress too.

I definetly recommend this app for anyone that needs to be more organised.

App #2: Days–

Sadly this app isn’t actually available in the app store anymore, as the maker of the app discontinued it. However, you can still get an apk to install, which I will link here. (Download on your pc or laptop, scan for any virusses, then send to your phone to install. It was save for me, but you can never be too carful)

I use this app for events and big tasks. It’s kind of like a countdown app. I added in each event or big tasks, and it orders it by when the deadline/event is, so I can see how much longer I have to either prepare or finish it. I also added in birthdays so I can see how much longer I have to prepare a gift/party. The color coding option in the app is also really nice. I color coded it as follows:

Red = Events (mostly concerts)

Yellow = Birthdays

Green = Release dates (music I look forward too, movies, ect.)

Blue = School stuff (first day of school, tests, ect.)

Purple = Other

Although I mainly use it for looking at how long until my next concert, it’s actually really useful to plan study/work sessions for school tests or projects. Instead of having to count days/weeks towards due dates and than devide my time up, I can just look at the app, see how long I have left, and devide it up then. And because it takes up barely any space, I feel like it’s a nice bonus to have on my phone that isn’t necessarily an essential, but it’s also not in the way of any other apps.

App #3: Google Calendar

Now this I don’t really need to explain. It’s a calendar. It syncs with your Google account, and it has a really clean interface with a lot of options for personalisation.

For privacy reasons I didn’t take a screenshot of my own agenda, but I did add pictures from Google themselves.

App #4: Quality Time

I don’t know about you guys, but I usually spend way too much time on my phone. So I got an app that warns me when I have spend either too much time in total, or on one app in specific. You can set your own time limits for each app (or set it as unlimited) and a limit of how much you want to be on your phone in total. It won’t shut you out of apps after the time has run out, but it does keep track, which is really useful in my opinion.

Here I have added a screenshot of a few days ago. 

Studying

App #1: Forest

A lot of you already know about this app, but I’ll still talk about what it does a little bit. Basically, you plant a tree, and you can’t use your phone until the tree has grown (you can set the time that it takes to grow yourself). If you do touch your phone before it grows, the tree dies. It helps with concentration, as it eliminates phone usage while studying.

Here is my forest from today. I like to use it for more than just studying (working out, reading, ect.), so my forest time is a bit long today.

App #2: Memrise

I talked about this app before, but I’ll talk about it again. It basically is an app that you can use to learn a new language! It has a bunch of languages included, and is really easy. It also feels a bit like a game because of the levels/experience system it uses. The more you practise, the more your character levels up! It also sorts it’s vocab lists by category, so you aren’t just learning random words, which is nice. (I just finished learning how to use regular verbs, and after that I’ll start with describing my emotions/thought in Spanish)

App #3: Quizlet

This is an app that literally everyone should have. It basically is a community driven flashcard app. Need to practise vocab? Make a flashcard set, or see if someone else has on that topic already. Need to learn dates of the French Revolution? Make flashcards! It is really easy to use, and has a bunch of modes you can use to learn your topic, including multiple choice, writing it out, and matching (matching is great for learning dates in my opinion)

I used this app at least once a week last semester, so I definetly recommend it.

Miscellaneous

App #1: Sleep Cycle

This app has literally made me into a morning person. It tracks your sleep pattern, and calculates the best time to wake you up! Set the limit on when you have to be awake, and the app will wake you up at the best time within 30 minutes of your limit. It tracks your movement in your sleep using either the movement censor or the microphone in your phone (you can choose which).

Not only that, I personally also really like looking at my graph of how I slept throughout the night.

Other apps you might want to put in your school folder:

Audio recorder (for lectures)

Office apps (word, powerpoint, excel, ect.), or another app that covers the same document types (for example, Polaris)

Calculator (I also recommend you check out Photomath if you’re doing any math related subjects)

And that’s the end of this post!

Like I said before, you probably already knew of most of these, but for those who didn’t I hope this was helpful! Any apps you’d recommend? Use the comments or reblog to let others know!
