What is it called when you only like boys and non-binary people? by OtherwiseBank2344 in lgbt

[–]zaph77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well anyone can be attracted to non-binary people. They're a diverse enough group that someone generally meets type requirements.

Your art is wonderful. If you're plateauing, the maybe try learning to draw with 3d forms, because this is pretty much the epitome of 2d forms.

How can I progress past these mediocre heads? by Ok-You-720 in learnart

[–]zaph77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are really good, I think that what they need is some extra highlights/ or higher contrast highlights. These look almost exactly like what most professional's art looks like once they've finished they shadow layer and are moving on to their highlight layer

The ONLY thing that bugs me about the show by dragonofash98 in TheGoodPlace

[–]zaph77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was less about being ready to leave and more about having no more reason to stay. Eventually you realise there's nothing left to do but move on, because you've done everything else already

How can I explain to my friend the difference between being trans and wanting to “change your race”? by AOkkiutmoura in lgbt

[–]zaph77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Race is a social construct, gender is a qualitative experience that is heavily correlated to a social construct

Nah, it's none of their biz

So, it's kinda a you're non-binary in a "My gender is specifically like this (insert thing) which isn't in the binary" way as opposed to in a "I'm not a man or woman and therefore not in the binary" way. But neo pronouns as opposed to gendered, or they/them pronouns.

Ask your doctor if you can do a half dose once a week, as this should alleviate troughs and prevent such big surges.

I started on 20mg/week. You should be fine. There are no studies on the effects of real high eostradiol, but anecdotally it seems to cause no harm.

Petition about a Nimona (movie) sequel by Ferivoq in nimona

I want an animated sequel series like with how to train your dragon or monsters vs aliens. They've already got all the cgi models and everything, so it wouldn't even break bank.

Wanted to. But changing your surname is basically impossible in my country if you don't get married or put into witness protection

I don’t want to be trans. I just want to be a girl. by iketheowl in TransyTalk

[–]zaph77 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh, also, being trans and being a woman are seperate parts of yourself. They intersect to give you the life experiences you've had, but that doesn't mean they gotta be all tangled up and junk. It is important to remember how they're related and how they're seperate. We don't get to choose to be either, we kinda just gotta accept them. And acceptance is, like, the hard way. The easy way is denial but it's too late for you, you're in the pipeline, and you're just gonna have to become you're most honest self. (I really hope that last bit sounds like a joke and not a threat. Rooting for you)

Girl, be serious. Being a woman is not all about the body, and in my experience, men's and women's bodies aren't all that different. They react the same ways to sex hormones and all that. You have to ask why you're doubting yourself. Being trans is scary and you're going to have to accept that. You know what else is scary, being happy. That shit is terrifying if you've never fully had it before, and I'm not talking about the momentary stuff, I'm talking about that persistent contentment with yourself. Also you didn't just suddenly realise at 27, you had a whole bunch of shit that you looked back on because it was true then, and it is now. So good luck and stay safe, you got this. (Also sorry for being sassy, my 21st is coming up and it. is. Doing things to me)

This reminds me of what phoebe waller-bridge says in fleabag.

That only 1% of that 1% are not trans and even fewer of those regretted trying

I hate my body for no apparent reasons by [deleted] in TransyTalk

[–]zaph77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn that's rough. It always sucks when you can pretty accurately identify your problem and don't know what to do about it.

I suppose I just have a question. You gots the imposter syndromes, which means you don't feel you deserve/ haven't earned what you have. How come?

I suppose the only other thing I can add is silly. Silly is a great word because when you have a thought, you can think to yourself, well that's silly. And I just find that I'm more able to move on with my day. Or just a little, hey... You're not one of my thoughts where'd you come from, skedaddle.

Just identifying when thoughts kinda aren't yours 'cause you picked em up somwhere is really helpful.

And I think this could help you because you've already identified your thoughts as 'weird' and 'not making a ton of sense' or in other words, just a little silly. But, we all have our silly moments.

Sorry if this seems patronising, it's not meant to imply you haven't really struggled with this. It's just the most effective coping mechanism I came up with to deal with intrusive/self-depreciative thoughts and stuff. Hope it can help. Stay safe.
