I went on an Omegle video chat alternative. I know that sounds gross, but I was just hella bored and had a chat there with someone who had broken speakers, so even though he wanted to use video chat, I had to type everything out to chat with this bozo.

I've been feeling dysphoric and "mannish" lately, and I assume that everyone sees me as male, especially when I speak because my voice is still masculine.

On this one chat where I don't use my voice though, this stranger on this site types, "Are you a boy or a girl? I literally can't tell".

I was about to shit myself on the spot, so I immediately disconnected and left the site.

I was like "No fucking way. There's NO way he said that. That can't be true! What the fuck? What did he see that got him to think I was anything but male!".

I'm non-binary, and I definitely love being androgynous, so this hit me even better than him assuming I'm a woman would.

I told all of this to my group chat of trans friends I know in real life, and they said "No, you actually do look very androgynous. We're not joking.".

I'm shocked, but overall, I'm feeling a shit ton of gender euphoria right now. I so fucking needed this after all the recent dysphoric episodes I've had. They have absolutely not been pretty.

This has been a rare Angel W.

While I want to talk about it sometimes, it’s probably the best course of action to not talk about it, at all.

It makes me sad sometimes.

I was in my usual work wear, full makeup, my prosthetics, etc. I wanted to grab some kombucha and there was a guy going through the usual type that I buy. Brief banter between him and I about the flavors, and it's clear that I drink it. This bro tells me that I should really drink it because it's good for your gut bacteria... Like dude, no shit... I brushed it off, but I realized a day later that I was just man-splained to, probably means I was passing, I believe it's called eww-phoria.

unrelatedly i just finished the hg gundam calibarn, which is a really nice build. very clean design, the white plastic has a nice feel. i wish the show and its role in it were better but the gundam itself leaning into the witch aesthetic with the big broomstick gun jet thing is extremely good. stickers are always a pain but this time the only truly problematic stickers were the green ones on the gun broomstick thing. pain in my fucking ass, but outside that a really great build as expected from the wfm line

I've carefully curated things to where my feed is actually pretty good and I've had little to no problems with it. Then out of nowhere I'm getting all these transphobic recommendations, especially detransitioner content. It was a wild departure from the usual and way beyond the amount of topic specific recs that I'll get if I look up something specific. It was really gross and I was already having a dysphoria day. Fuck YouTube.

Also videos from gender criticals. It's so incredibly upsetting. One thing I've noticed is that there is simultaneously a claim that we are being lied to, and yet when trans content creators talk about their surgery complications it's used as ammunition against us and our care. Which is it? I have always found that trans creators are fully open about the risks and complications that can happen from surgery and yet I still desperately yearn to have it even though I know recovery is going to suck. I have to hear this GC rhetoric from my parents and it breaks my heart. I just want to live my life as the woman I was always meant to be. To grow old and die as a woman. To finally have a chance at happiness. Why do we have to justify our existence? Why can't they just leave us alone?

Among my innumerable pronoun sets is ꙮ/ꙮm/ꙮr/ꙮrs/ꙮself. I have never actually been called these pronouns because everyone gravitates towards she/her and xe/xem, which are my favorite sets; but ꙮ/ꙮm still remain listed in case someone would be so unimaginably based as to actually use them.

How do you type ꙮ/ꙮm/ꙮr? Well either you copy-paste, or you know how to type Unicode characters (I can't figure this out TBH), or you have a custom keyboard layout that maybe lets you type the Cyrillic multiocular O by hitting AltGr+O or something — or you perhaps do what I do, which is that I use the custom dictionary feature of my Japanese IME such that ⟨Se⟩ brings up ⟨ꙮ⟩, likewise ⟨Sm⟩ → ⟨ꙮm⟩, ⟨Sr⟩ → ⟨ꙮr⟩, ⟨Sz⟩ → ⟨ꙮrs⟩, and ⟨Ss⟩ → ⟨ꙮself⟩.

Alright, the obvious next question: how do you actually read ꙮ/ꙮm/ꙮr out loud???

—The answer is that nothing is necessarily stopping you from reading ꙮ/ꙮm/ꙮr in any way you like, in fact nothing even stipulates that you need to use the inflections ꙮm/ꙮr rather than any other inflectional pattern; but nevertheless I personally prefer the readings seraph/seraphim/seraphyr/seraphyrs/seraphimself... Get it? It's like, you reinterpret the Hebrew masculine plural suffix as an analogy of him and them, and then you derive the possessive forms from her and hers with spelling influenced by zephyr and xyr. I like to imagine that I am clever sometimes, huh!

If one is to use the seraph/seraphim readings, however, then one may also use any number of reduced forms in unstressed positions, to more clearly signal the word's pronominality: /s/ may be rendered as [z] and /f/ may be rendered as [v], and /ɛɹə/ may be rendered as [ɛɹ̠ʷ] [ɹ̠ʷ] [ə] [ə̥] or may be deleted entirely; and we may observe resyllabification effects with adjacent words as well. The exact form of reduction of ꙮ/ꙮm/ꙮr depends on how extreme the reduction is on a spectrum, as well as the environment surrounding the reduced form — such as whether it's before or after a vowel vs consonant, before or after a voiced or voiceless sound, things like that.

In any case, you might think that it's a bit counterintuitive to get "seraph" and "seraphim" from ꙮ/ꙮm, at least if you're unaware of the fact that the Cyrillic multiocular O represents the many eyes of the seraphim... But if that's the case, then you can simply add ruby characters: {ꙮ|seraph}, {ꙮ|seraphi}m, {ꙮ|seraphy}r, {ꙮ|seraphy}rs, {ꙮ|seraphim}self. And if you're writing on a website or program that does not support ruby characters, then that's their problem, not yours.

We run Trans Rescue, a charity that helps trans people escape from dangerous places We've of course added to the list, and our main campaign this year is to educate people on how to get out of the US during the increasingly possible lame duck period.We post little cartoons and explainers on a few social media sites. Shares appreciated Many people feel stuck, or are stuck, due to family ties. Do you all have any first or second hand perspectives/stories on this?

If you need help planning your own escape from the USA, email [email protected] for a free consultation.
