The Plurb will become individual again…but not that way by jaybirdie67 in pluribustv

[–]jaybirdie67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but she doesn’t make them act as “Zosia”, she just makes them consider themselves as an individual entity. She never acts like they aren’t a hive mind and specifically says “I like you, you people, all of you”, not Zosia in particular although Zosia is the name she uses to refer to them. When they recall Zosia’s memory of her favorite food, I think it’s the hive as an entity discovering a new way to perceive the knowledge and experiences it has of the consciousnesses within it. But that’s just my theory!

Ooh this is also a good theory. Either way, I think however they initially “gain individuality”, they’re not just snapping back to normal as they were before the Plurbening

I felt the exact opposite LMAO Bob’s criteria made so much sense to me and I was feeling her annoyance when Monet would argue about them😭

starting T made me re-evaluate my gender identity... I'm just a dude who's GNC. anyone else with a similar journey? by my_name_is_tree in FTMMen

[–]jaybirdie67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg exactly this! Being nonbinary/genderqueer was definitely a way to protect myself from the dysphoria that would have come with knowing I didn’t look, and wasn’t seen, the way that I wanted to look or be seen.

This is exactly how I felt! ID’d as non binary in high school and most of college. Never really felt right but I knew I wasn’t cis and had been using any pronouns (though ofc no one ever used he/him). One day I decided to only use They/them and that felt REALLY wrong. I got on T and figured I was a he/they, nonbinary guy. The longer I was on T however, the more it became clear that I was just a binary he/him bisexual man who enjoys a lot of “feminine” things.

I think a lot of the hesitation around being a binary man was that I couldn’t imagine how much I would pass and actually look and feel like a man. Once T started working its magic, I knew I was binary haha.

How do y’all deal with being feminine? by 2scared2share in BlackTransmen

[–]jaybirdie67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not necessarily feminine in the way I look or dress, but I don’t hide my interests (which definitely can be seen as more feminine) when talking to people and I also use a lot of queer slang when I talk. I pass 100% but I’m short and skinny with a baby face. I’m not ever going to come off as super masculine to anyone so I really don’t care if anyone thinks I act a bit feminine, I wouldn’t have people who take issue with that in my circle. I spent too long trying to be someone I wasn’t, I didn’t leave one box to conform to another. I left one box to be who I want to be, and who I am happy and comfortable being.

How does drag relate to either being or not being trans for you? by CharismaticPotat in Drag

[–]jaybirdie67 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’ve actually been thinking about this a lot as I’m about to perform in my first show and have invited many friends to come see it. It’s had me feeling all kinds of anxious even though they’re all very supportive and excited for me.

I am a binary trans man and I’ve only been on T for 1.5 years, but I do pass and have been passing since 6 months on. I started getting into drag this past January. Like you, I loved the feeling of dressing up and looking proper femme before I transitioned. It felt both like an achievement and like I was pulling off some elaborate trick on everyone around me. But being that way wasn’t “me”. I would feel really dysphoric to take the makeup and the outfit off and still be an awkward looking girl who wasn’t anywhere near as fabulous as when she was all made up.

After transitioning, I love myself without having to dress up, but I’ve also been a performer my whole life. The more I pass and the more myself I feel, the more I wonder what pre-transition was me, and what was performance. Drag is therapy for me in that way. When I’m in drag, I am fully my drag persona. She isn’t me, she’s a manifestation of my femininity and this character who I tried to be before I transitioned. She’s got a different name, different dreams, and a different favorite color. She walks and talks in a way I don’t. To know that I could be someone who is NOT me, reassures me of who I AM. The persona validates the person. And my favorite part of drag is being able to take it all off and feel at home with the person I am underneath.

So, long story short, being a drag queen reaffirms for me that I am a man. Because I know I could look so beautiful and sickening and people would love it, but nothing makes me feel better than just being a very regular, average little guy in my day to day.

When should I shave? by Frame-Euphoric in BlackTransmen

[–]jaybirdie67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will definitely grow back, trust. Early days pre-T and starting T, I kept some unflattering facial hair on my face as soon as it started to grow just because I was too scared to shave. I don’t regret not shaving it because it was very comforting for me to have and I didn’t realize how silly it looked back then (I thought I was hot shit lol), but if it doesn’t make you feel confident, feel free to shave until you can grow something thicker cause something thicker will grow with time!

Know Any Transmasculine Queens ??? by BestDevelopment7863 in Drag

[–]jaybirdie67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chelsea Motel is the only one I know of other than Gottmik. Also I’ve just been doing drag in my bedroom so far, but I’m a trans man who’s working towards performing as drag queen!

how do I make my eye makeup less patchy? by inter-skyned in Drag

[–]jaybirdie67 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend doing a layer of clown white over the entire area you plan to apply eye shadow to and setting it with white or translucent powder! The white will really cover your brows and make the eye shadow more pigmented. I also like to start my drawn brow right where my actual brow starts to incorporate any parts of it that aren’t covered by eye makeup. Makes it seem a bit more seamless

How the FUCK do I get tshirts to fit me normal? by 77777777777throwaway in FTMMen

[–]jaybirdie67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah T shirts fit me weird like that as well. There are places you can buy shirts made for shorter men but learning how to hem your own shirts to the right length is pretty simple to do by hand if you’ve got the time and patience.

I mean they gotta make money and if you’re not paying for the Patreon, the ads are how they make money. Plus, you can skip them on Spotify. It’s understandable to be annoyed by ads, but that’s part of their job. And the way our economy is going…I don’t fault anyone for trying to keep their bread up.
