The bittersweet nature of "passing" as a trans person

I have no regrets in my transition except this one thing which i find it hard to express bcs i dont wanna sound ungrateful for being a passing trans person.

my disclaimer to this post is: it is hard to be a non passing trans person and non passing trans people are far more vulnerable than passing trans people. Also passing is not every trans persons goal. Although it is one of my goals in my transition im not saying "i have it now i regret it" im just gonna say kinda like. a sadder side to passing.

pre T i would say i passed like 60% of the time to cis ppl and when i wasnt seen as a dude theyd always either ask my pronouns or like ask my gender (i live in a pretty liberal place). i was quite rarely out and out just misgendered like maybe 5% of the time in the basically 7 years i lived as a pre T trans person (not including ppl who misgendered me on purpose) but i was sooo clocky to trans people like i am a v socially awkward guy but i found it easy to make trans friends when i met trans people irl when i was pre T bcs they mostly knew and we kinda were drawn together.

Im now a year and 8 months on T and i love passing i pass genuinely 100% of the time even when im not binding (and i have a larger chest that im very dysphoric about) and i have a cis passing voice. I often have a lot of like. not imposter syndrome about it but i have bad dysphoria and often assume im not gonna pass when i do or assume i look more like a girl than i do. Also im 5'3 and have kinda long hair (not long but i used to have it super short and now its a bit longer) but im just seen as a cis guy. so like i am not pretending i dont love passing it makes my life soo much easier and lessened my dysphoria.

What i will say is i miss the immediate kinship of meeting another trans person or being in the same room as another trans person and both knowing ur trans or becoming friends bcs ur trans or automatically having someone to pair up w in a group of strangers bcs u both know ur trans. Also on nights out i miss meeting new ppl and just talking to each other about being trans bcs we automatically recognise each other. like i miss the solidarity u feel as a trans person when u seen another one rather than trans ppl assuming im cis and me actively making an effort to mention im trans around new trans ppl. also i miss that trans ppl used to feel automatically safe around me whereas now i know bcs im perceived as a cis man sometimes they feel on edge. idk its just bittersweet i think <3

Honestly, Danny is having such a good time right now. He gets to travel with Ellie, explore space, just have fun. Plus his secondary protector-instincts are having soothed despite him not technically doing any hero-ing anymore. Really his sister had the right idea when she decided she wanted to become a doctor, this is honestly a blast.

And if someone does end up passing away, well, Ellie is always happy to help soothe their spirit and guide them to the Realms where they can reach their respective afterlife. Or become a ghost. 

They are completely oblivious to the fact that there are now legends and entire temples dedicated to them now. Apparently accidental ascension is in fact a thing, as Dan later laughs at them about.

Quick tip: If a trans passing guide is focused on thinness, whiteness, or getting rid of anything about yourself that is "too clockable" (regardless of if that thing about yourself makes you happy), maybe it isn't worth fretting about, since it is clearly coming from a homogenized idea of what passing looks like

people who are obsessed with passing are gonna be the death of our community i swear

Newbie wants to get into AVA. Help!

so I'm one of those losers (/lh) that, despite being a kid right when AVA was getting big, never actually watched it. Now, after watching a bit of AVM as an adult, I'm wanting to - but there's SO MUCH. There's lingo, there's gajinkas, there's AVA and AVM and AVE and what have you. There's a lot to watch and not all of it is compiled on Becker's channel playlists, so I must ask...

How does one watch AVA?

I've been notified of an order for AVA and AVM, but there's stuff like Animation vs Addiction that doesn't feature in any of the playlists. Are those canon? Is there a chronological order? Is there a playlist with all of this as it was released or in a comprehensive order? I'd appreciate any help you can give me, even if it's just a YouTube playlist or an order (e.g. AVA 1-4, AVM S1-2, AVA 5-8, AVM S3, etc).

Also, extra question, is there any fandom-specific lingo/terminology that I should know? Like how some call the King from AVM "King Orange" or "Mango". I'm assuming this all came from Becker streams but genuinely I am as NEWBIE as newbie gets. Appreciate any responses, have a wonderful day!

I was scrolling plumblr and noticed your warden was 123 blooms old... For context each Affini reblooms about every 100-150 years if my research is right. Your warden is at minimum 12,300 years old 😭 God speed girl there is no way you make it the week.- @venus-lelslick-fourth-floret

not really a farmer request .. but i need to see ur shane wearinf those silly shirts (my favorites include the "how to pick up chicks" shirt with the stick figures and things of the like)

ty for the silly request!! i like to think he’d get that shirt not bc it’s silly but bc he’s like no that actually is how u pick them up. and every time u compliment the shirt he describes how u pick them up in real life. how hot is that r u drooling too
