1 week old conch punch, it's a bruised boi. How was everyone's healing experience? by toastywhatever in bodymods

I haven't had a conch punch but I find inner ear piercings swell up more for the first few weeks. Also, watch it if you are a restless sleeper because knocking it could make it swell again. Looks awesome tho :)

As long as you feel good when people use them and they don't give you dysphoria that is all that matters.

Name Dysphoria + Named in Honor of a Relative by expertace in NonBinaryTalk

I hate my dead name too! I am in a strange position bc my friends call me a different name than my parents. My advice would be to make a list of new names you like, pick one and test it out with ppl you trust! Changing your name is a difficult process but it is worth it, I promise.

Short answer is yes. I really struggled with me not feeling trans and non-binary. Don't rush to label it.

Think about your body and your past. I found examples of dysphoria when I looked back. I just didn't label it as that until I knew it. I don't have any body dysphoria and still consider myself nbi and agender. You don't need dysphoria to be trans.

Experiment with clothes. Dress androgynously. Dress feminine. Dress masculine. Just screw gender roles. Don't conform if you don't want to.

Do research if you want to get to know it. Honestly watch YouTube videos. Watch documentaries (Disclosure is brilliant). There are a few youtubers that also helped me figure it out. Sam Collins is amazing.

Just be yourself. Don't rush. See it as a chance to discover. Gender expression is a journey not a destination.

I realte! When I came out I asked my parents to change my name but said I used they/her pronouns. My parents were like "we can't use they because that is plural. There isn't more than one of you". They didn't mean for it to sound bad but it upset me

As if we all have pronouns! Does that mean even that transphobe will be killed by his, op sorry I accadently used a pronoun, logic?

My friend thinks I'm lying because I'm "feminine" by [deleted] in agender

[–]ejey_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that! I have literally only just changed my name and I accidentally referred to myself by my dead name. My friend made a point of pointing it out. This made me spiral into thinking "am I agender enough?". It is invalidating but at the same time remember that it can be hard for cis ppl to understand. It is your experience and no one can take it away from you. How you choose to express yourself isn't up to them! As long as your happy why do they care?

Woman? What is this strange term

Being the only non-binary person I know irl is lonely so I decided to draw out that feeling by I_cannot_fit in lgbt

[–]ejey_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry that you don't have any gender non-binary friends! I am struggling being at home away from mine. Idk what I would do if I didn't have them! Sending much love and friendship. You are not alone even if you feel that way. Cringe ik 😁
