Just a butterfly discovering themself. So far nonbinary demiboy feels quite good.
Not the main account, probably quite mono thematic.

Follow requests: Will be decided purely based on instinct. If I follow you, quite sure; on the journey to discover one's own gender or already completed it, good chances. Empty profiles or no thematic connection, sorry, but no.

Short PSA: I will soon move my account to @doppelgrau - merging with my "main".
Wanted to say "thank you" for being welcomed so warm and fast and I hope I see most of you there again.

@AlwaysAutumn

That's why being enby is a blessing in disguise. For example:

Transphobe: "You'll never be a real woman!"

Me: "Thanks!"

Transphobe: "...Uh... Well, then... You'll never be a real man!"

Me: "Aww, you're so sweet..."

(Transphobe's head proceeds to implode)

Learned something interesting in therapy tonight. Did you know there's an opposite of triggers called glimmers? They're little things that you read about or happen that cause you to feel joyful. I love that! I've had a lot of glimmers and #transJoy and I'm trying to savor it. You all here give me the glimmers everyday. 😊

Damit, I hate when I forget to shave my cheeks in the morning.

I once mentioned that I - for my taste - have to use the 🫂 emoji too often.

Promptly someone said: so you think, the trans community is too whiny?!?

No, my sweet baby jesus. I think too many people I know or follow are in bad situations, conditions or living through bad times.

I want them to be safe and as happy as possible, so I don't HAVE to use the 🫂 so often.

Oh, I think I didn't mention my standing offer not yet here: If someone want's to get a post card (badly printed with a random cow and a few handwritten words) just send me a DM.

Small observation: Needed to make up a short (three lines of text) description of a role I fill in my workplace, and it really annoyed me that the German language made me giving up to find a neutral version without "waving a flag" regarding gender identity.
Didn't expect that (yet) to be honestly.

Good morning, everyone.

I know not everyone is doing okay today. Some of you are hurting right now. Some of you are struggling through difficult times. And some of you are just horrified at the straight-up villainy others are inflicting.

I have no answers. I wish I did. I disagree with the Beatles in that love isn't all you need. That said, love is a good starting point. Know today that you are beautiful, and that you are loved.

Small roller coaster of emotions: Yesterday evening heard that a corset vest is probably possible in time 😍​, but just now that the currently preferred seamstress for skirt & Co has not enough time. 😩​
Let's see how I feel about the alternative on Friday.
And otherwise somehow continue to look and improvise.

Not sure if related with recent events or not: Considering downsizing my electronic/pcb development stuff[1] to free up space for other hobbies[2]. But it somehow feels bad considering how much time and money went into setting everything up.

[1]: Don't think I'd currently want to get rid of all of the stuff, but especially the small Pick&Place machine & oven is taking up quite some space and can not be put away and sees nearly no use (and if I'm honest that won't change soon)
[2]: There might be some influence, sewing sounds very interesting currently[3]
[3]: Using a large frame diode laser for cutting the clothing precisely?!... 😂
