I think the first sign that I was werewolfkin was the fact every full moon my mental health plummets farther than hell itself
LET WOMAN HAVE VISIBLE AGE FFS ITS JUST AS HOT AS OLD MEN WITH WRINKLES
Stop removing Lady Dimitrescu’s wrinkles and stretch marks/scars/blemishes. Stop making her super skinny, because clearly she is not. Stop de-aging Lady Dimitrescu. She is a mature woman and her wrinkles/blemishes are part of her beauty. Literally stop removing those features.
Just got back from a pain specialist and I'm vibrating with happiness because they actually listened and gave me a diagnosis that actually describes what I'm experiencing. It feels so amazing to be listened to by doctors knowing that they could have easily blown me off.
It makes me think of all the people who still struggle with getting the right diagnosis, or even a diagnosis at all. I know it seems like a never ending battle with assholes who won't listen but please don't back down. Don't let them ruin your quality of life just because they think they know better and have a fancy degree. It does get better, and eventually you will find peace in a diagnosis with medication or accommodations. Just know you'll always have lil ole me in your corner rooting for you!
Cis people think being genderfluid means being a girl on one day and a boy on the other when in reality it's pretty princess (he/him) and mad scientist (they/she) two hours later
My dream engagement/wedding ring is something odd and strange and something that makes you think it's cursed. Something that if you're not careful will whisper ancient secrets of the earth in a language that has been around before even humans roamed. OR I'll settle for one of my partners teeth turned into a ring (or their blood turned into a ring like that one guy on TikTok makes)
[ Link to survey ]
The 11th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th June 2024.
It’s short and easy, about 5 minutes probably.
After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.
If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful - it’s what helped us get 40,000 responses last year.
Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com
The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.
For the curious, you can also spy on some graphs and demographic data for the incoming responses here.
Thank you so much!
