So the recent announcement/video about the Glitch inn revealed that J was originally a guy in concept development. Guys I’m so happy for her transition 🏳️‍⚧️

Is this stupid? Yes. Do I need people to see it? Also yes.

I don't want to brag but I've gone from 10 words to 416 and after the past year of a drought I want to express that I am proud of myself. I will get these last two chapters out. I will do it.

hi pia!! I was wondering, is it possible for Faber to take larentin hormones? Or are betas unable to take hormones to change their bodies in this way? <3

Hi anon,

The presence of botewalogen (the beta hormone) actually suppresses/neutralises the effectiveness of larentin (and sometimes ardolphogen).

This is actually mentioned in Underline the Black and is thought to be one of the reasons Efnisien was given it by Crielle:

‘I did some research and found a few papers which covered the basics, you know, botewalogen being produced by all foetuses in the womb, and then production stops when an offspring differentiates into alpha or omega. But there was a suggestion in the paper that botewalogen might be a universal neutralising hormone.’

Outside of that, betas do not produce larentin (not even in tiny amounts) and do not have ways to really metabolise it or "use" it, so currently no, we can't just give Faber a shot of larentin (or shots) and make him have omega biological responses, his body isn't really going to know what to do with it, and the presence of botewalogen will suppress its effects even if that was possible.

That doesn't mean that the science won't change in the future! But it's more complicated than just introducing omega hormones into a beta's body (because larentin also doesn't include sub-larentins, which we know are important enough that they can - on their own - create heats and other omega physiological responses in Efnisien even in the complete absence of the larentin-producing glands).

So unfortunately it's not like primary sex hormones, in terms of how it works!

one of these days i'm going to drop an actual professional essay where i analyze shinji (and his relationship to kaworu) through the lens of freud's writings on specifically female sexuality and femininity. but the world isn't ready for that one yet

Forcemasc to Me is really the tits when it's validating.. Like autofellatic, masturbatory, creepy, corny, just like cis men talking about What It Means To Be a True Man and the power of their balls, feeling like a fucking loser for being exhilarated by it, hell even cringy ... Ik when you pop off to some kink that is frankly horrible you get kind of a dopamine rush cus oooh im breaking the rules even tho u know psychologically its probably not the best thing for you. Its harder to do it and believe corny 80s shit right? Like omg, these cringe trans men on the internet, if i partake that makes me cringy too. Like... Yeah. Cringe and being uncomfortable and creeped out.. I thought thats how we roll here

Join me as I tackle one of the biggest topics for many trans people, gender dysphoria. We're gonna talk about how there's no escaping it, and then see if I can put into words what it's like to live with. We're joined by therapist, author, and gender specialist Dr. Alex Iantaffi to discuss challenging the patriarchy, needing to see ourselves to find ourselves, and Sicilian bubble-butts!
