Okay, so if took me seeing multiple drag shows to realize, "Oh, I relate to gay men more than cis women," to realize that I was some kind of trans.
I always thought that I had to choos between being a bearded, conservative, CrossFit dude and a styled, feminine, womanly woman.
But the idea of being genderqueer/nonbinary/genderfluid and tapping into the slutty feminine every so often, it rocked my core.
And at first I thought, who am I to relate to the experience of these queer males? How presumptuous of me? And it was hard for me to de-shame the notion that I had experiences in common with someone male-presenting in everyday interactions.
I don't want to rob or steal someone's experiences, but the female experience is definitely not mine. I have no clue what the fuck they are talking about. It just sounds like weird nonsense. They are cute, though; doesn't make them less cute.

Types of outdoor survival guys:
Survivor Guy
"This is the way humans were MEANT to live!" (Absolutely Not)
Lives and dies by his bow drill firestarter
Do it alone to prove something (not sure what, but do your thing, buddy)
Ironically the type of guy most famous for... not actually surviving
Vision Quest Guy
The whitest kind of guy
"Something something the transcendent experience of communing with nature"
"An old Indigenous guide once told me [insert Billy Graham quote here]"
Won't stop climbing into caves
Some kind of fabric tied around his head
"Man the Hunter" Guy
Beautiful and inherently useless flint-knapped knives
"Primitive Skills" (I literally hate this term with every fibre of my being)
Caught a squirrel one time and now believes he can "live off the land"
Why are you not wearing a shirt? The woods are COLD, dude
Super Adventure Guy
"It's not actually that far down, maybe like 1500 feet?"
Has broken so, so many bones
Somehow the guy least likely to die or disappear before you hear about him
Seriously dude, how are you still alive??
Experimental Archaeology Guy
Just the most unhinged man you've ever met
Thinks hunting goats with a stone spear is a polite dinner conversation topic
Indiana Jones couldn't get ethics board authorisation but somehow this guy can??
Has 3 atlatls and knows how to use them
Boy Scout Guy
No fewer than 3 types of firestarter on him every time he leaves the house
Can make a shelter out of literally anything
Infodumps constantly. Dangerously close to mansplaining for most of it
Could give a lecture on field first aid with no prep at all
Passes out at the sight of his own blood
Weekend Warrior Guy
"I saw this on TV once!"
Has every single outdoor survival gadget
Backpack weighs more than he does
All his co-workers know exactly where he was and what he did there last vacation
Carries a machete for some reason
German Tourist Guy
"Just let me park here for a minute, I need a selfie with that bear."
"Something something conquering the forces of nature"
The most expensive hiking boots you've ever seen
You're more likely to spot this kind of guy in the Canadian Arctic than polar bears and caribou combined
Outdoorsy Chick Guy
20-minute monologue about the importance of teaching your daughters they can do anything a boy can
Pink camo
She's probably a bow hunter
Medicinal plant enthusiast (accuracy not guaranteed)
"Men are crybabies, this is So Easy!"

got commissioned by longtime fan (and i mean a LONG time) @harry-trumans-dishwasher to draw my fav kind of faces: long pointy ears, big noses, and TEETH!!! he gave me a list of several OCs to choose from, but i took one look and was like "gimme these ones" because i'm always on the lookout for analogous color schemes💙💚💜 (and also because i loved the drow the second i saw her and wanted to pick fun ones to match!!)

the therapy stuff you talked about- deeply, deeply relatable. 8 years i've been trauma dumping on this woman for and she still says "it's nice to see you".
it took like 5 whole years of sessions for her to call me out on getting annoyed by her- don't be like me! lol. and now i tell her all the time that she's pissing me off and it's no biggie :) anyway i actually just wanted to say:) so relatable- love ur blog- have a lovely day/night!!!
augh fair. it's not like it really pisses me off but i probably shouldn't wait five years to say something lmao
