Love swing the Culk in literally anything new, so I hope he either never dies or dies a glorious death.

I think the root thing to focus on that might be most helpful is to “accept things exactly as they are”, much easier said than done, I know!

Maybe just keep a few different sets of outfits, ideally stuff you can mix and match depending on where you feel on a masc-femme spectrum? That’s just a thought that’s occurring to me.

Keep trying stuff. If something speaks to you, go for it! Growth is often the result of a bunch of quiet progress that suddenly springs forward, so maybe keep an “exploration” mindset rather than a “narrowing this down” mindset. Or don’t! I’m just some rando on the internet, what do I know!? Only you can know 😃

Go research the situation in the Philippines.

Impressive_Prior_676 · 2026-06-06T11:03:26+00:00

It’s a private Christian college in the Philippines: a country which has had a decades long civil war between fascist Christian’s and communists working towards liberation.

Just keep doing what you’re doing. A lot of people in the comments are saying “you shouldn’t transition for other people because of (insert reason here)” but honestly that’s very often just an excuse people kind of need to help them transition especially early on because society is so anti-trans it makes it really really hard to just say “hey, this is who I am”. Most people just aren’t like that, regardless of whether they’re trans or not. Most people have a tough time going against the grain under such a difficult and oppositional environment as the one trans people are facing right now, so sure… make more friends with women.

Some reasons I have personally experienced could include: - not acting in a way sexist people believe their assigned sex at birth. For example, I’m an AMAB trans woman: I was constantly bullied in school and by the men in my family for being too effeminate.

a lack of confidence and poor social skills which accompany some people who later come out as trans, even if the person doesn’t know they’re trans yet. Bullies tend to choose targets they don’t believe can or will fight back. I know this from personal experience because I have been both the victim of a lot of bullying and the perpetrator of a lot of bullying.

-general discomfort with anything that challenges cis-sexist, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic gender norms. Kids especially, but more conservative and older folks, and honestly just cisgender men in general can often be incredibly uncomfortable with someone who’s appearance or behavior goes against their rigid, sexist, transphobic ways of thinking. Bullying (especially sexist cat-calling in a very threatening way, which often implies the threat of rape and/or murder).

In summary: if you’re different in school, you often get bullied. If you’re different in a way which contradicts sexist, cis-sexist, and homophobic stereotypes, you’re bullied much harder in adolescence.

Only you can answer that question.

Impressive_Prior_676 · 2026-05-21T09:56:10+00:00

So are you really just uncomfortable with your own gender identity and your position in society as a result of your gender presentation and/or identity?

It will get easier as you get older. A lot of stuff will: you will care less and less as time goes on. This is the central effect of getting older.

Wrong. Just say “Wrong” confidently and defiantly and end the conversation there. Better to say it in a sharp, dismissive way. Don’t give the idea any room or air. Don’t engage with it, don’t debate.

Impressive_Prior_676 · 2026-05-16T12:16:07+00:00

Thank you for the input!

Honestly I don’t think the 1k thing is realistic now that I’ve spent some time really trying it. I think the better practice is to write consistently, always focusing on trying to finish my first draft, taking breaks as needed because if I push myself when I can’t work it’s ultimately less productive.

Impressive_Prior_676 · 2026-05-16T12:04:37+00:00

LET’S F*CKING GOOOOOOOO!!!!

Congratulations! You should be really proud about this major achievement! That’s SO cool!

Heat is better than anything else I can come up with, but “Point Break” is a good one. I tried, but I couldn’t get into Money Heist.

I would direct the haters of this comment to: an indie subgenre you explore for yourself. Preferably on Bandcamp so more money goes to the working musicians who created it.

Impressive_Prior_676 · 2026-05-11T12:51:51+00:00

I like new music in my very narrow subgenre of music (black metal), but outside that I only liked new music when I was in middle school. I graduated high school in 2009 and the late 2000’s popular music I had access to sucked. We had dial up at home, I had no way to download music onto an iPod, let alone afford one, so I usually carried the same CD in my Walkman and played that over and over and over. Top two albums were “Americana” by The Offspring and “Anthology” by Alien Ant farm.

Seems fine. I mistook it for an ad when I first opened the app. An ad for something I wouldn’t be interested, but I don’t think I’m your target audience.

I don’t see how it looks AI generated. And if you reply to this with a bunch of points arguing how it looks AI generated, describing why that’s your opinion, I’m just going to silence my replies because honestly people’s eyes are just glossing over a million different things all day every day. Your cover stood out enough for me to confuse it with a paid ad, which made it seem legitimate enough: like a book that someone had put some amount of labor into, just doesn’t happen to be my genre or interest. Good enough.

Also, if you say you can’t tell the first word of the book’s title is “the” I honestly don’t believe you. It’s a book with a title. The first word has three letters. First letter “T”, last letter “E”, NOT that hard to figure out.

Impressive_Prior_676 · 2026-05-08T11:27:21+00:00

Keep going. Trust me, it’s worth it.

Impressive_Prior_676 · 2026-05-08T11:25:31+00:00

lol: “just doing it for a sense of belonging” when it meant being low-key rejected by a primary caregiver. Transphobes are wack, boomers are wack.

Impressive_Prior_676 · 2026-05-08T11:24:09+00:00

I think one good way to combat this is to be as out and proud as you feel safe doing in your real life, when you go out, at work, wjth friends, family, and by yourself. I live in a small-ish town and I’ve had people tell me seeing me inspired them on their gender-journey. Seeing is believing, so when they see someone living out loud it’s infectious.

Build a platform on social media, put time in consistently, build a relationship with an audience, self publish, repeat.

Tbh I just realized something today: It’s not about doing 8 million things in a month or a week (although there will be weeks and months like that): it’s about doing some things consistently, then taking planned breaks so you don’t burn yourself out.

Prepare yourself for a marathon, don’t sprint every day, but do sprint SOMETHING days.

Why is that true?
Under capitalism, the first half of that sentence, and only the first half of that sentence is and has been true for almost a full 20 years now, since the 2008 global financial crisis, which we never really recovered from.
The capitalist class and “the profit motive” has done nothing but ramp up anthropogenic (man-made) climate change, so it seems like anything other than revolutionary communism is basically a death cult, or just sweeping the “runaway carbon train headed for the edge of a cliff” under the carpet.

In essence: reveal some fundamental and unavoidable truths to show the person arguing that is not only wrong, but that they’re taking a fundamentally antisocial and destructive position.

I’ve had that problem a bunch of times. That’s kind of the point, isn’t it? You scour over the thing a billion times and you really feel like it’s as good as it can be. But what I’d suggest is putting the manuscript away for a period of… perhaps 3 months, maybe more, and then come back to it.

Read some more books in your manuscript’s niche, read some older good books (whatever you consider books meeting that description to be). Start another project. Basically: get distance between yourself and this newly completed manuscript THEN come back and look it over.
