sorry if this isn’t the right community but it seemed like it was either here or askchapo and i felt like it was too personal of a question for there.

basically i used to think a lot about how i wish i was born a girl when i was a kid, before i really knew transitioning was an option. more recently the idea resurfaced for a couple of reasons and i think i might want to transition.

but the idea has kind of come up before and it seems my girlfriend and i would break up if that happened. we’ve been going out for 8 years and she’s easily my best friend. i don’t really have a social life outside of that. i try to talk with coworkers or comrades in my org but generally i feel like people act like i’m off putting. tbh i think i might have schizoid personality disorder or something cause i don’t really like interacting with people generally besides my gf. idk i guess i just always pictured myself like doing girly things with my friends but i don’t think like transitioning will suddenly make it so i can connect with people and make friends to go out with. and i don’t even know if i have physical dysphoria so i worry it might not be worth it.

but on the other hand i just read the page in the gender dysphoria bible on biochemical dysphoria and identify with it 100% but it could just be depression bc of some other reason.

i love her so much i don't know if i can even make myself tell her. i think even if i make friends it's not going to be anything like how i feel talking with her. how many of you had a similar decision to make? i don't know what to do

i would recommend being preoccupied with the idea that it doesn't really matter what you do because that's done wonders for me so far dean-neutral

Maybe they are moving towards relying more on prison labor?

they're worried about trump doing a genocide of liberals or something. they don't care about the genocide that is actually happening rn

I see this term a lot, people saying "that's just vulgar materialism!" I haven't seen an explanation of what it is yet.

There was a user that, before getting banned, declared that every single living human being alive on Earth right now should not exist because no one had the benefit of a pre-conception device on hand to somehow determine each individual's consent to exist before they started to exist.

I mean, is this an uncommon thought? Isn't that what Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is about, for example?

I was surprised by how much of a kneejerk reaction "consider trying to not use 'minor' ableist terms" gets on here sometimes. I get it's hard to drop immediately irl but it shouldn't be that hard when typing it out. Like you said they are basically useless in conversation anyways. How do you feel about the word cringe itself? A lot of the original cringe comp videos was just making fun of nd people i think, right?

Alternatively, should I just focus on getting in shape and get some pepper spray or something?

Yeah I mean I don't think most people mean they unlocked empathy or something. You can know something your whole life but experience that feeling in a new way. Like if someone was in a near death incident and they said something to me like they feel really alive, I wouldn't be like "no duh."

Anyways I get a lot of people online who talk about psychedelics are rogan listeners so yeah not a fan of those

These are two sequential tracks off an album, the uploader must have liked how they flow together and I do too so I went with that. I've been loving this band recently so I'll probably post some more about them but try to space it out lol.

it's funny you say that because neopets was bought by doug dohring before it blew up, who has donated millions to the church of scientology. he sold it to some other company a few years after though.

I remember when Marx said that revolution will happen when enough people have brains

Especially if you write essays, articles, or video scripts. I am looking into using the zettelkasten system with Obsidian but figuring out a workflow for that seems confusing, especially for historical research.

My parents are both libs but are interested enough in socialism to agree to read a book on the topic with me. Do any of you have a suggestion for a good introduction? I am preferably looking for a relatively modern book with casual language, I was thinking I might use Socialist Reconstruction from the PSL.
