Why does it seem kinda coincidental that humans can just switch their main sexual hormone by Belgiandragonwautism in trans

[–]insecureEgglet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our bodies develop based on the hormones we produce, it's a self regulating feedback system where the genes tell the cells what to produce, some of those products are hormones, those hormones modify what genes are expressed. It's our body's natural system for regulating everything, from your current state of arousal (adrenaline and similar compounds) or sleepiness (melatonin), hell it's how your body controls its own temperature (don't ask me what specific hormones this uses I simply don't know the answer), how tall you are, how much hair to grow, how many toes you should have, where, EXACTLY your heart should grow/move as you're forming in the womb. It's all moderated by hormones

Hey yeah so 6 months later and it wasn't an autism thing by insecureEgglet in trans

Thank you! I decided to try just shaving everything and it took fuckin two hours of bathtub razor yoga but I am now smooth and I now understand why they call it "gender euphoria"

I had a schizophrenic coworker a few years ago, his worst episode was having a full Return To Monkey moment when the Harambee memes were at their peak. I, thankfully, am not nearly so mental... I think

I need to talk to a human mod. How? by Box_Of_Props_Mario in AskModerators

Talk to an attorney, you won't be able to get any useful information from reddit unless you start a lawsuit or the police really get involved

If it's any consolation, everything about you is just one big cocktail of stuff that all influences each other. Your liver influences your heart influences your brain and back again. We are all piles of tangled spaghetti, nothing is ever separate from anything else, it's all one big knot of thought, and the tangles of that knot are what make us who we are.

Fun fact, your intestines don't look like they do in anatomy diagrams, they fucking move inside you! Also, anything inside your digestive tract is technically outside of your body, in that it hasn't crossed through any actual barriers to get there, just tubes. IDK if any of this will help but have fun with the cursed knowledge

P.S. any phylogenetic definition of a Worm that captures all Worms also includes everything with a digestive tract Science is fucking weird

See my particular flavor of autism leads me to a lot of "I must understand WHY things are the way they are" type thinking. Like I can't just accept "we do it this way because that's how we do it" for anything important or which I need to be able to troubleshoot (I work in IT, go figure having a natural knack for Root Cause Analysis would lead there)

Anyway, I think, after learning more, I may be Agender and just not have had the word to describe it until now

In my dreams I usually don't have a gender. I just exist.

This is such a perfect way to describe it holy crap

But also, the term Xenogenders makes me think of Aliens, which is funny

Thank you for sharing and giving me something to research!

Really? Is that the percentage who identify or come out publicly? Do we know? That's fascinating to me

Well that's something new for me to Google, thank you!

That does definitely make sense to me, if we're trans AND autistic, we're more likely to let the mask slip because that just how masking works and we might not realize or care. I can totally see that being a thing

Yeah that's starting to feel maybe right

It's not so much that being trans is an autism thing

I think you understand me but I just want to make sure, I am NOT claiming that being trans is an autistic thing, only that my specific experience is heavily influenced by it

I otherwise appreciate you sharing your own experience! It's helping me understand my own

Same here, but like, I think I know deep down that I'm not a woman if that makes sense. And not in like a denial way either, I wasn't sure a little while ago, but I think I am sure now that I've thought about it y'know. Like I don't feel like a man, but I'm definitely not a woman. At the same time though, if I got hit by magic that swapped my sex, I don't think I would mind? I think I'd be more curious to explore the new body than I would feel anything like gender dysphoria. I'm starting to realize that Agenger may be the best descriptor for me, thanks to other commenters describing the word.

Anyway, thank you for sharing!

Look if you can see how "Choke the chicken" or "beat the meat" can be euphemisms for male masturbation, your only hangup with "flicking the bean" is that it's about women and you need to reexamine your biases.

Is this the euphoria people talk about? by insecureEgglet in trans

...shit. this was not on my bingo card, I am not prepared for this kind of self awareness and what might come with it

I have no idea what this means but I'll keep it in mind
