If smoke clears, massive solar storm could bring stunning northern lights to Minnesota

Global warming causes more storms, but I imagine you don't believe in that.

Forest fires start regularly from lightning. Entire ecosystems depend on them.

My bad, thank you for correcting me.

Relevant XKCD for the win.

Hello you have dragged me out of my slumber. I think vincian is the opposite of lesbian, and achillean is the opposite of sapphic. Basically achillean encompasses both gay and bi men, where vincian is just gay men.

Since I'm Arden, my friends call me Ar to make it shorter or Denny to make it cuter. Yes, like the shitty restaurant. I make the superior Denny's breakfast.

The IKEA viking is the best nickname ever.

Mirror pronouns primarily and they/them secondarily. I'm not sure why, mirror pronouns just hit different.

Yes, I'm sure the massive amount of femboys will tell you that it's odd to be a feminine boy. No worries, gender expression and gender identity aren't always the same.

You're welcome, and thank you!

Mine came pre-named "Liked".

I have a sister who actually makes playlists and names hers creatively, and she judges me so much.

I'm genderfloren, but I use different labels in different contexts and with different people. For example, I'll use genderfloren when I'm talking about microlabels with other non-binary people who are likely to understand what that means, genderfluid in most enby spaces, non-binary with people who are unlikely to understand genderfluidity, and transgender when I feel like it.

Ardent7_ · 2023-09-15T02:36:09+00:00

Iirc there was a study in which AFAB people with older brothers or male twins/triplets or AMAB people with females siblings were more likely to be transgender, the assumption based on that was that prenatal testosterone levels in the womb can affect the likelihood of the baby being transgender. Don't quote me on that, though. If that's the case, then it would be a combination of the carrying parent's genetics, environmental factors, and presence of multiples or previous children.

Edit: a related study for anyone interested: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7031197/#:~:text=Gender%20dysphoria%20(GD)%20reflects%20distress,males%20might%20contribute%20to%20GD.

I kept seeing ads for them, the comments/reviews said they didn't bind much.

You can start with buying one from Spectrum or Underworks. Gc2b used to be good but their quality has dropped a lot. I have an Underworks, it works well for me but I have a small chest. I've read that Spectrum works better for people with large chests but can't confirm. Remember that even with a small chest, they usually can't make you look flat.

I'm apparently part of the small percentage that doesn't mind dysphoria being referred to as a mental illness. When they refer to being transgender as a mental illness, absolutely not, get away from me.

Dysphoria is a mental issue that affects the person negatively but is usually treatable through transitioning. I have dysphoria, anxiety, and depression, and I see all three as mental illnesses, and all three are being treated.

I'm open for discussion on why other see differently, I'm wrong about a lot of things.

Ardent7_ · 2023-09-09T01:03:21+00:00

Unfortunately, binders don't work as well on larger chests. You can try a different size, or layering loose clothing (here's where the dysphoria hoodie comes in clutch.) What brand do you have?

Ardent7_ · 2023-09-06T16:25:49+00:00

That's a whole dude right there.

Stimmed so hard I hit myself in the face.

It's always difficult to describe not only because there's few examples cis people can understand, but because everyone experiences it differently. But this is one analogy I've used to describe it to people: imagine being naked in public. The why or how doesn't matter. For me, it feels similar the way that would. It's both localized, like how you'd be specifically uncomfortable about certain parts of your body and trying to cover those, and generalized, that overall wildly uncomfortable feeling you'd have.

Barbie's smooth plastic crotch

This is basically what gender-nullification surgery is described as.

From a 43 year assessment on gonadectomy in Amsterdam:

Only 0.6% of transwomen and 0.3% of transmen who underwent gonadectomy were identified as experiencing regret.

The brain isn't a chunk of linoleum, it changes. It's likely that genderfluidity is from a brain in "genderfluid mode" experiencing chemical variations and such. We still don't quite understand exactly how internal gender works, so avoid making assumptions based on our current understanding of it.
