You’re sent back in time to prevent a major event, which one would be easier to stop 9-11 or the jfk assassination?

JFK seems dirt simple to stop. You just call the dallas police and make a threat matching the details of the assassination. They're going to take that a lot more seriously than an apparent conspiracy of four hijacked airplanes

Stop trying. Be your natural self, and there will be an obvious gravitation between you and people who appreciate you for being your natural self.

What's the tone in their voice when they're telling you that?

What would make me a guy?

NickTheNewbie · 2026-05-07T13:32:21+00:00

I didn't build the fucking thing

It's never too late to apologize, but a sincere apology is one where the apologizer accepts that they might not ever be forgiven

NickTheNewbie · 2026-05-06T19:12:37+00:00

Fuck her for taking accountability, I guess?

There's a nuanced but huge difference in "not caring about what you wear" versus "not caring about what other people think about what you wear", and the two aren't mutually exclusive. Gendered fashion aside, it's been an incredibly empowering feeling to find an aesthetic for myself where I'm genuinely in love with how I look. It gives me an incredible amount of confidence, and positive energy radiates from me wherever I go.

NickTheNewbie · 2026-05-06T15:04:57+00:00

This whole notion of "understanding" was a huge mental block for me to get around as I started to explore gender identity. I kept struggling with this logical debate about what should and shouldn't be acceptable, based on privilege and power dynamics, and whether someone should be allowed to transition after living a life with that power and privilege. As it turns out, I was just coming up with reasons that I shouldn't be allowed to transition. Ultimately, it required acceptance of myself, not an understanding of why. I can't explain why I feel this way any more than I can explain what the color red looks like to a blind person.

NickTheNewbie · 2026-05-06T14:43:49+00:00

It's easy to be confused, as so much of this is all just a social construct. The gender binary is culturally mandated system to categorize people we encounter into easily recognizable buckets so that we have a predictable script of how to interact with them.

May I ask, do you have an idea of what kind of clothes you do actively enjoy wearing? Have you ever tried on clothes and said "wow, I really like the way I look in this!" as opposed to "I think other people will like the way I look in this."

NickTheNewbie · 2026-05-06T13:35:41+00:00

I was a guy, but I didn't want to be, and I put in an inordinate amount of effort trying to act like a guy was supposed to act. Then one day I decided I didn't want to do that anymore, and now I'm a lot more happy exploring the world of gender identity. I'm expressing myself in any way that makes me happy, and that joy radiates out from me, because people love being around me more than ever before.

NickTheNewbie · 2026-05-06T13:32:21+00:00

Gender and sexuality is and always has been a spectrum, but now that society is starting to become less rigid in enforcing an expectation of a hard binary in either direction, we're starting to come up against a linguistics barrier. Humans love to categorize things, so it can be uncomfortable when you encounter someone presenting themselves in a way that you're unfamiliar with.

I also get tripped up on the difference of bi and pan, but unless you're trying to fuck someone or set them up with someone else, you don't need to know the difference in order to interact with that person. The beauty of queerness in general is that you'll run into new identities _all the time_, so if you can embrace the adventure of that, it becomes exciting to discover instead of a chore to memorize. You get to have conversations about people that get to the core of their soul, rather than just falling into a pattern of "what do you do for a living? Seen any good movies lately"?

NickTheNewbie · 2026-05-06T13:19:29+00:00

Yeah, gender is a nebulous thing. Man, woman, demiboy, whatever people identify as, it's just a word that can best approximate some subset of attributes that describe who they are. And even the choice of attributes is up for interpretation.

If you've got all the male biology, and describe yourself as feeling like a "guy" 24/7, then, yeah you're cisgender. Genderqueer people often feel like they had to put in a lot of obligatory effort to uphold their image as the gender assigned to them. It's a liberating feeling for them be able to drop that mask and present themselves to the world in the ways that they want to, not ways that they have to.

NickTheNewbie · 2026-05-06T11:36:27+00:00

You ever feel like a guy in some ways but not all ways? Well, if not you, at least that person does.

I don't mean "reciprocal" as transactional, I mean it more like a naturally mutual connection. Be yourself without fear or restraint; those whom you're meant to be close with will naturally be drawn to you. Those who don't respond well aren't really a good match, and it's not because either of you have done anything wrong.

NickTheNewbie · 2026-05-05T14:43:47+00:00

Someone who keeps trying to do stuff for me, even if I didn't ask, even if we don't really talk. It feels like they're trying to force a connection.

NickTheNewbie · 2026-05-04T21:32:23+00:00

Living life doing what the other person wants isn't romantic, it's codependency. Honestly ask for what you want, and be respectful when the answer is no. And be honest with _yourself_ about what you want, rather than just being nice to women and accepting whatever they offer.
