changing your life doesn’t mean you become a different person; it means you change how you live and where you stand.
you improve, grow, and transform, but you never change completely. that’s a good thing.
A comic I made based on dream I had shortly before starting HRT. Choosing my own destiny 🌸 Though what I thought I wanted when I was younger no longer fits who I am, my future is full of abundance and possibility.
My dear lgbt+ kids,
If you want to educate yourself on something your parents, teachers etc. don’t talk about (lgbt+ topics or anything else), here are a few general things to keep in mind:
- “I want to learn everything about (broad topic)” can be intimidating. You may feel like you don’t even know where to start. If that happens, here’s an idea: Take one thing you know (no matter how “basic” it may seem) about that topic and ask yourself “Why?” or “How?”. If you hit the point where you can’t answer that question or are not sure if your answer is true, you found your place to start!
- It’s okay to stay in your comfort zone in the beginning. Not a big reader? Watch a documentary instead. Struggle to understand big words? Look for articles aimed at teenagers or even kids. When you got the basics down, you can step outside of your bubble.
- Make sure your sources are independent and credible: they don’t try to sell you something, don’t use fear, guilt tripping, misleading graphics/headlines or outdated info to change your mind.
- Feeling a bit frustrated is okay, feeling completely overwhelmed is a sign you need a break. This is especially important when the topic is emotional or personal for you. When we learn about injustices that happen(ed), we can get angry… at the world for allowing cruel things to happen, at ourselves for not being able to magically fix that problem, at our peers who don’t seem to care etc. It’s okay to feel that way. But there’s no use in burning yourself out or drowning in guilt. Taking a break doesn’t mean you turn a blind eye. It’s necessary for your mental health to not think about horrible things 24/7.
With all my love,

(Ex-)questioning culture is using self-insert rpgs to explore gender, getting used to your transname being standard fare for games, and then going "aw fuck now I need a new character name" upon realizing you're cis, bc now your transname has started to feel like a deadname (/neu)
.
Woohoa you look like a woman but you're a man? Epic sauce!
I must ask: what do you think of Sunburst MLP?
i havent actually gotten to the dude but they manufactured this guy in the trans horse factory
(also i fucking love his design so much its like top 5 for me. i love whenever the show uses more realistic horse patterns it makes my brain go wild for some reason)
Gender thoughts with no satisfying conclusion :l
