i thought you said you’d never go to a show?
i did say that! Because I never really planned to go for a vast variety of reasons, including but not limited to the fact that I’m super light and sound sensitive and have chronic migraines so the last concerts I’ve gone to have absolutely knocked me on my ass. There’s also the matter of cost, and travel, and the terrifying amount of people that go to shows. There were lots of reasons I never wanted to go to one. And I’d also set the precedent of being like “I’m never going to a show 😤” so I also really feared getting asks like this one if I ever went 😌
But, a couple of weeks ago, I was on TikTok watching 5sos videos (as one does ofc) and it came to a video of Carousel live and it just kind of hit me like a brick out of nowhere that I might die never having seen my favorite band and it was really scary. So I obviously got really dramatic and in my head about it and cried to my mom for like three hours. Buying tickets was kind of a split second decision (because there was definitely a lot of panicking about if it was the wrong idea for me or not). But I texted two friends and was like,, “I think I wanna see 5sos” which for me was a really big deal. And they went (very pressure free ofc) “u should” so the next day I bought tickets (and cried 😌 bc im a drama queen). I bought them late and I got lawn seats so they weren’t too expensive!! And my irl bestie hyped me about the venue because it’s outdoor and the sound won’t be so overwhelming and blah blah blah but I got myself some loop earplugs for the sound and brought some tinted sunglasses for the lights 🤓
And I have spent the entire last week absolutely petrified of going to this show lmfao 💙 it has been rough 💙 But I survived, I didn’t get a migraine, and there were only a couple times the lights were too much so I just shut my eyes. And I actually took out my earplugs after a few songs and was like “the migraine will be worth it.” But I didn’t even have one! And I bounced around as best I could and sang all the words to all the songs. And then obviously cried a bunch, that’s a given (which is also embarrassing because like why are you crying to don’t stop). And I also screamed when I realized Ashton took off his vest and it scared the friend I was with hehe.
So all that to say: yeah!! I did say that!! But I changed my mind. And I’m really glad I did!!

I did an interview about detransition with [redacted large left wing publication] last week and now I’m SO stressed about it. Freaking out!!! 😖
I’ve thought of like a million things I wish I’d said that I didn’t and like a million things I wish I’d phrased differently. I feel like I got so sidetracked that I forgot to mention some of my main points (like listening and empathy and prioritising truth) and also that I was so focused on being diplomatic/speaking to a leftist audience that I didn’t go hard enough on some of the slightly more “controversial” things I deeply believe.
I was not shy about calling out bad behaviour from republicans, saying conservatives manipulate and take advantage of detransitioned women’s trauma, and about disagreeing with bills banning transition, which I think will not go over well with other people who have detransitioned who I’m friendly with. So that kinda sucks because they are the people I connect with emotionally and i quite like some of the more reasonable ones as much as I disagree with them. Like I know some people who are really nuanced as much as I disagree and I don’t want to hurt them.
I also did talk about feeling like I got bad healthcare and feeling like the trans community can be very controlling, and alluded to my personal crisis of faith about the logic behind certain things (and also about knowing it’s very important to some people)… so that will get plenty of other people upset.
I think I’m about to just piss everyone off tbh, like they literally asked me if I’m a centrist on this and I was like yes, and I am scared 😭 I don’t care the slightest bit if conservatives get mad at me, and I don’t really care if some of the more extreme detransitioners do… but I’d like to keep my friends

Had a moment of weakness. Download Scruff again since I'm in a new area and was immediately terrified by all the conventionally attractive cis men. Deleted. Nope.
