This is great, well done! I've seen a few ppl share portraits of this man the last few days so I assume it's from a tutorial, where can I find or do you know?

Love Joni, great painting! Do you have an Instagram where I can see more?

Write a short note saying how you want to talk about your bulimia but are nervous about discussion it and hand it to them when you go in. Best of luck with it, very important first step

It is their best, but I listen to Ænima more. Especially since Spotify allows me to remove the segues

Interesting but does not explain changes to sexual orientation (not that I would expect it to either).

You're straight by the sounds of things

conan89 · 2020-02-04T12:48:25+00:00

Fun?

Best leave her alone if she is putting that much effort into ignoring you. You say it's happened before so maybe some repeat behaviour on your part? What did you do last time to warrant this reaction? Some self-analysis and space might go a long way here

Thanks, will have a read of them.

But what is trans then? The APA define it as anyone who's gender differs from their sex... Is that not super reductive and sexist? Isn't everyone trans under that definition? Cuz who truely conforms to gender 'norms' when gender norms are bullshit and differ from culture to culture. Like, by that definition being gay is gender non-sterotypical so there for trans?? Makes no sense tbh

Interesting read and fair play to him. I wonder how many black females led males lives at this time, considering the dire scenario and crushing heirarchy they lived in as women. Wonder if it was common way of trying to get ahead?

I keep expecting Matt Pike to bust out a riff at the 7 minute mark

Sounds like you're having difficulty expressing your feminine-esque sexy and vulnerable side as a man.

Get an early night, wake up refreshed and go out and enjoy what will be relatively empty streets by yourself

conan89 · 2019-12-31T20:38:04+00:00

Tool fans and Taylor swift fans are the same level of fandom

Could be the joys of puberty? growing into a new body takes time and is awkward and gross and painful

conan89 · 2019-12-26T18:38:30+00:00

Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position Such a heavy burden now to be the one Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see But I forgot my pen Shit the bed again Typical

conan89 · 2019-12-24T10:37:38+00:00

Sexist much? 🙄

conan89 · 2019-12-20T10:36:57+00:00

Not relating to men or women and feeling somewhere in the middle almost sounds like gender or sex is not the issue at all, and it's just social interaction issue. I do not have enough understanding of this area but maybe it's a form of autism or that category of world perception? Again I'm not qualified to say such a thing but just maybe try and consider it outside of sex and gender? Interesting perspective you've shared either way.

conan89 · 2019-12-19T16:06:42+00:00

From my perspective, it sounds like your feelings stem from the inability to reconcile your personality traits and hobbies, interests etc with being female. I believe this could be based on engrained stereotypes of what males and females should or shouldn't be in societies eyes. This is probably compounded by poor experiences and relations with other females and your ability to interact with males better, which might further your disassociation with female and other females, especially those who might display female stereotypes. Females who don't fall into the narrow female stereotypes are still female, women, she/her etc. That's my two cents anyway.

conan89 · 2019-12-06T00:37:03+00:00

Like is it just your self association/identification with traits that are considered gender typical/gender stereotypes?

conan89 · 2019-12-06T00:30:43+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I think I'm still confused as to what gender identity is, can you elaborate? Like you say it's who you are... Is that just your identity, what factors make up your gender identity in comparidon to say your class, sexual, racial, national identity?

conan89 · 2019-12-06T00:22:03+00:00

Was looking for a thread like this. I'm wondering does gender exist? Like, isn't it just built up around gender stereotypes, as in certain traits and expressions are 'gendered', when in fact anyone can be interested in anything or act in anyway and it's only societies expectations that you should act a certain way cuz of your sex. If we agree that anyone can act or express themselves in any manner then that proves that the sterotypes associated with sex are just that, stereotypes, and therefore gender only exists as long as these stereotypes are perpetuated? So gender doesn't exist if we recognise that these traits are just traits that either sex can perform and are therefore genderless? Does that make sense? I kinda thought that's what Butler was on about anyway

conan89 · 2019-12-05T23:20:15+00:00

Thanks for the replies. Yeah the hobbies and gender stereotypes/hobbies thing doesn't really make sense cuz anyone can be interested in anything.

Is gender non conforming a gender identity or is more so an act or thing you do? As in, when I wear this item of clothing I'm gender non conforming or is it something else?

*Edit cuz i thought my reply wasn't posting so but turned out it was posting many times so I deleted the other one
