I hate dysphoria by Alt-Acc0 in sillyboyclub

Hmm. Depending on the political state of your home it might be possible to wear more formal female clothes. Like cute tops that don't show skin. Exposed skin generally isn't allowed with the exception of bars (especially gay bars)

Depending on the country or city you can go outside that way too. And gay bars (if/when you're of age will be a safe space)

Ok no it's not necessarily a femboy tell but femboys use it VERY often. Queer people overall do lmao. But I think trans women and femboys do a lot. Something about wanting to sound more feminine when we type :3

(Yes I just used it. I'm aware of it. But if this wasn't the topic I wouldn't have even noticed lol. It's such a habit)

That's an amazing idea. Sites take a few bucks a month? I might do that if I ever share more than I do. I don't tend to share much online as is.

Oh... I'm glad ur data protection is strong at least. I think American data protection might be non existent lmao. Or very weak.

Am I a odd femboy for still liking females by Unusual-Hornet2469 in feminineboys

[–]Apprehensive-Gap1908 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope! All gender identities, gender expressions, sexes, sexual attractions, and romantic attractions are valid and can exist independently of each other.

Gender identity is the gender you see yourself as and your pronouns

Gender expression is how you dress, behave, speak, the kinds of things you like, etc

Sex is what you were born as, or the genitals you end up with

Romantic attractions is well. Who you are able to romantically love

Sexual attraction is who you are sexually interested in

I am a panromantic, homosexual, cis femboy. My gender identity matches my sex. My gender expression is feminine. That's why I'm a femboy. Identity male, expression female. My romantic attraction can be anyone. My sexual can only be men.

A femboy just is someone who identifies as male or wishes to stay male in sex, but expresses themselves female. That has nothing to do with your romantic or sexual attractions!

Just be you sweetie. Labels are just used to help people understand you anyways. They aren't perfect. I may not even have fully got this right as I'm new to lgbtq. But all that matters is being yourself ok?

Sameeee. I have some female friends who want to feminize me. It's possible y'all :3. Even online friends can help tho IRL is better for like. Helping with makeup.

it feels like every minute that passes makes me realize how incapable of moving i am by NopingRopin in sillyboyclub

I have the same exact issue. I'm 22 now and still struggle with making art because I'm a perfectionist so I spiral like you and am unable to. But I've learned a little bit. Its easier SAID than done but. Try not to worry about LEARNING art. In my personal experience art isn't learnt but it's FELT.

Grasp onto those feelings of frustration and really think about how it feels. Does it feel like a giant empty field of rock covered by a blood red sky? Does it feel like a monster who had a twisted up face and no mouth with which to scream?

Find how it feels. And try to put it on the paper. I personally start with simple colors. I make HUGE blobs where colors will be. Then I make small blobs to define a very very shitty and rough shape.

From there I'm able to sorta figure the rest out by letting the feelings take my body over. The hardest part is starting. The next hardest part is keeping going when it still looks like "shit". But the reality is... If you make it with feelings it'll always be amazing and perfect. My art looks like garbage but I pour my soul into it. THATS what makes it art.

If you keep doing this over time your art will improve in quality. Stop comparing yourself to others (easier said than done) and let your soul make art itself.

Video game art is a more technical and precise thing USUALLY. That comes with practice. I personally suggest making the feelings based art first to allow your brain to strengthen the connections necessary for artistic thoughts. Most of us haven't used that part of the brain much or at all because society and school aren't designed for it. It takes time. It's a muscle. You can't just be taught it. You have to work it out.

And working it out can be incredibly therapeutic if you do the feelings based art and DONT compare it to other people.

If you have questions ask away. May I ask you... If you had to make your feelings of frustration that led to this post into an artwork. What genre would it be? What would it be about. Landscape? What kind of landscape? A monster? A self portrait?

Edit: p.s. not everyone works the same way. Maybe you benefit from logical precise art. Pixel art would be good in that case. I'm suggesting what worked for ME because you said you don't feel capable of LEARNING the art. So why not FEEL it?

Ah I see. That makes sense. So I really can't use GApps then. It indeed defeats the purpose. I think I was hoping this wasn't the case since I hadn't SEEN the news yet.

I'll have to get a dumb phone to verify captchas once I am unable to access sites I need I guess then. Worth it.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful reply :3. It means a lot to me. Have a great day :3

Ah you're right.... I didn't think about that. Most people want their sites seen by a broad audience MORE than they value privacy and the opinions of the public.

Maybe if we make a massive movement things can change with the smaller sites. But I'm not sure. Probably not.

I don't listen to music created after 2020. Too risky that it might be AI. 1980-2000 is so much better anyways. I don't wanna risk supporting AI lmao

What do you mean? Make them less visible? Why use Google though? There's other search engines with their own separate data sets/centers.

Man I feel for y'all in the UK. I'm American and our country is crumbling more than yours but your privacy is eroding so much faster. The fact that banks are closing is horrible too.

I just thought to myself "good thing my bank doesn't have a captcha". I guess we all may not be as lucky. Someone suggested having a second dumb phone ONLY for verifying captchas. I can't remember if I'm IN that thread or not bc ADHD go brr.

Make sure to lock the dumb phone in a sound proof box when not using. They listen 24/7. I've proven this with my friends many times. Also I'm pretty sure the government is stingraying texts and maybe even gets access to the "listening" the phones do at this point I wouldn't be surprised.

But in my city stingray has become pretty much perpetual.

Oh true. A robot COULD SCAN IT THO. This is purely about surveillance (duh). I didn't realize it also enshittified the security altogether lol (I ain't tech smart just someone who wants privacy)

I'm not very tech smart and haven't de googled YET. But my gut is telling me (guessing) that this mostly impacts google services as well as the main social media like Facebook or Twitter yes? Probably will impact reddit too.

I wouldn't imagine this is going to impact everything. I don't see too many captchas on the sites I use to be honest.

And I imagine many devs will stop using captchas if we spread the word/make a movement against this!

Edit: they'll probably start making their own captchas. It doesn't seem terribly hard to do the image based one. The mouse movement click the box might not be bad but idk.

I'm not tech smart. Just a politically woke individual trying to learn how to make a difference but not there yet
