Guide to being A Man™️

To be a man, you need:

to be swift as a coursing river

to have all the force of a great typhoon

to have all the strength of a raging fire

to be mysterious as the dark side of the moon

To be a man, you do not need:

a penis

Being nonbinary is nothing to be ashamed of. You don’t have to be bursting with pride, ready to shout it from the rooftops if that’s just not who you are, but nor should you have to hide it, keep it tucked away. It’s a part of you, big or small, and you shouldn’t have to worry about life being complicated because of it, or what other people may think.

You do you. Be nonbinary. Pin the flag to your wall, or just whisper it to yourself in the middle of the night. Lead rallying cries for nonbinary support groups, or just reblog nb posts on tumblr. Be nonbinary, whatever and however that means for you.

demiromantic people do not need to specify what genders they are romantically attracted to!

they have their reasons for which they do not specify it, and you should respect that!

their identity does not have to be a modifier!

it is 100% okay if your a-spec identity is enough for you to describe your attraction!

you do what makes you feel best!

@ young girls who are lesbians:

there’s nothing wrong with having a crush on a girl. you may feel scared at first if you’ve never heard someone talk about having crushes on the same gender or being surrounded by homophobes. never let anyone make you feel bad or call you ‘disgusting’ (and a whole other words) just for liking girls

I hope your day goes well if you’re just realizing you may be ace, aro, demi, gray, a-flux, a-spike, quoi, cupio, nebularomantic, arovague, acevague, or any other a-spec label that makes you comfortable! You’re no less a-spec if it took you some time!

A word of advice to trans women

Go to your nearest target. Buy a two pack of pushup bras (24$ for 2), and target’s bra inserts (12$). Then go to your nearest Walmart and buy the Vasserette Control Shapewear Panties (2.50 each), they do wonders for helping your tuck. There you go! You just saved yourself a lot of money, you can afford to buy enough to wear every day, and best of all you look fabulous. -@twidx

Your chosen name is your name. Even if you chose it after a character or a story. Even if you chose it because you liked it better then your birth name. Even if you made it up yourself to fit you, and you only.

Your name is your name. And no one can take it away from you. 💫

Coping Statements for Anxiety

It is often possible to manage anxiety by actively replacing irrational thoughts with more balanced and reasonable thoughts like the following:

1. I’m going to be OK. Sometimes my feelings are irrational and false. I’m just going to relax and take things easy. Everything is going to be fine.

2. Anxiety may feel bad but it isn’t dangerous. There’s nothing wrong with me. Everything is going to be OK.

3. Feelings come and feelings go. Right now I feel bad but I know this is only temporary. I’ve done it before so I can do it again.

4. This image in my head isn’t reasonable or rational. I need to change my thinking and focus my attention on something that’s healthier, and generally helps me to feel good about myself. For example _____________.

5. I’ve managed to interrupt and change these thoughts before – so I know I can do it again. The more I practise this, the easier it will become. Anxiety is a habit – and it’s a habit that I can break!

6. So what if I anxious. It’s not the end of the world. It’s not going to kill me. I just need to take a few deep breaths and keep going.

7. Just take the next step. Just do the next thing.

8. Even if I have to put up with a period of anxiety, I’ll be glad that I did, and persevered, and succeeded.

9. I can feel anxious and still do a good job. The more I focus on the task at hand, the more my anxiety will ease, then disappear.

10. Anxiety doesn’t have a hold on me. It’s something I’m working on, and changing over time.
