#transition process

[twist-shout-and-shells]

Happy pride to the Brazilian prime time soap opera that just introduced an asexual character!!! And he's a forty-something year old man!!! Who had no idea the word asexual even existed!!! Even though he had always felt like that!!! And it was treated so well!!! His sister said she didn't understand but that she didn't need to understand to love him!!!

Can you tell I'm crying? Prime time soap opera has basically dictated what Brazilian discuss and embrace since the dawn of television!!! I'm so fucking happy

I feel like HRT for non-humans would go through the soul when it comes to injections

Capsules work the same tho

your male power fantasy stallion protagonist? yeah sorry we forcefemmed her. she's much happier now. yeah actually there wasn't any forcing involved, the moment it was suggested she just started femming herself with a fervor that was honestly impressive. something about being a housewife? I don't know, it was either that or be a girlboss with a body count, so I guess this was the best option. her wife seems happy about it at least. oh, you thought she had a husband? haha yeah about that

Becoming human 🧜‍♀️

Does the shrinking hurt, like being squeezed and split in half? Or is it like being hugged all over?

I don’t draw usually shrinking because it freaks me out! What do y’all think??

Years of effort, of June's brilliant engineering, of careful planning and execution and they'd finally built it. What it is they'd built, Roberts can't be sure. But it's not up to a lowly midshipman to question. The Commodore surely has a plan, one that Roberts would follow without question. Together, they set sail to the Southwest, to turn on the Machine.

Life gets so much lighter when you are just allowed to exist. When there's no god in your head listening in on everything you think. When the trees outside are not a sign of anybody's presence, but just beautiful. I think the world, fundamentally, belongs to itself. And we are a part of it. That's all.

This feels too short to add to my Trans cal chapters so have a little mini. Trans Cal and medication over time:

The first time Cal fills a prescription (or what passes for one, going to a doctor at a partisan affiliated base and bullying them until they gave him six months supply) on the Mantis he feels like some deep part of him eased that he wasn't aware had snapped. Bracca was broken and fucked in so many ways but it was also home. He'd spent more time there than anywhere other than the temple. But the constant tension in trying to make sure his body fit right, that he had medication that mostly worked, had been ever present. It had grated and stressed in a way he hadn't seen before it was gone. He hadn't thought of anything along the lines of 'gender euphoria' in so long, so sure of who he is, but right now he knows he's beaming, holding his small bag of glass vials.

Cere softens watching him, with that soft sad look she gets sometimes. He knows his joy about some things since Bracca bothers her, that the implications bother her. He sometimes tries to temper the rougher edges he gained near her, but right now he can't bring himself to do more than grin back.

-

The first time BD gives him a shot (and isn't it nice to not have to do it himself), it's as much an experiment to see if the ejection mechanism works with a heavier medication than anything. It still makes him smile. When he was young this part of him was both unimportant and tempered by doctors with colourful stickers and lollipops when he needed blood drawn.

On Bracca it had become something else, another aspect of his fight to survive, a wild animal in his chest fighting to keep them both alive.

Its a relief to reclaim this ease.

-

When Merrin is on Kobal with him, after. After.

They are both healing and raw and full of grief, and so it misses him initially, the reminder to do his shot. It's the ache in his back finally that pushes him to go, measuring the dosage quietly. It's late, BD is charging, and he can quietly hear the hum of the patrons upstairs winding down for the night.

So, he nearly misses it, in the sad quiet haze he's in, but when he takes out the needle and goes for a bandaid, he pauses. There's a tiny pack of bacta patches with cartoon characters on them the way he remembers from when he was young, that he only mentioned to Merrin once.

It's the first time he's smiled all day.

I keep going back and forth on the topic of where I fall on the allo/aro spectrum, partially because I kind of like. Don't wanna be aro (I'm already trans, queer and autistic with depressive tendencies, I don't need to add another thing to the list)

But another part of it is that even if I am capable of romantic love I probably just wouldn't know, because I already don't really know what platonic love feels like? And I'm not saying I can't love anything or anything like that it's just. Like many other emotions, I kind of have to retroingeneer it, sort of

I know I love my cats, not because I feel a surge of Something when I look at them, but because it makes me smile when they do something cute—my face knows what I'm feeling in those moments, I'm not sure I do. I know I love them because when Pouet died I cried every day for a month and I still cry sometimes, when I think about her. I know I love my cats because my brain keeps lighting up with fear signals when they're sleeping and I don't immediately see their chest move as they breathe.

I know what anxiety feels like, I know what anger feels like (when it explodes), I know what depression feels like because I dealt with them for so long I learned to recognize their physical symptoms! If these emotions didn't leave specific signals in my body then I'm not sure I'd know what they are.

And the thing is... I don't really like. Know what love or affection feels like, I think. Yes I can feel myself smile when I speak to certain people, but I also habitually smile at everybody because it makes things easier socially. I know I like people because if they ask me if I want to do an activity I either say yes or I have regrets about saying no.

My point is: I feel like I don't know my emotions so much as I know the buttons they push in my body, so to speak, but the problem about platonic/romantic love is that I can't imagine they make that different a shame, so who's to say which one it is?

It's funny, in a way, that I don't know something like that at my age. It's also really inconvenient, tbh. There's not really a reason for me to think about this rn except sometimes if I meet a cool dude whom I know is gay I wonder for a minute or two what a relationship with him would be like (which I'm going to assume is not that weird a thing to do) and the last time that happened led to, well. Ponderings about romance I guess

Anyway, the tl;Dr is that it took me decades to figure out the emotions I can recognize now, and I've largely approached social interactions with the inner spirit of a wet Chihuahua for most of that time, so how the fuck do I know if I can't identify those because I'm shit at self understanding or because I don't feel them???

Idk, it's complicated

(Tho honestly it would also be a little bit hilarious if after all this shit I landed on nah just aro. Not my preferred option right now but eh xD)
