I forgot that it’s my mega week so no big info dump this time. Instead I bring a question: how do you practice gender self-care? Do you have any activities or rituals that make you feel more comfortable in your gender? Painting my nails and taking care of my hair are the most consistent ones. These shouldn’t even be considered gendered activities by society, but I missed out on having long hair and painted nails when I was younger because of my assigned gender, so doing them now feels validating and gives me confidence.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

    Idk how to explain things to my parents especially being hexbear-non-binary so to them I’m hijo still which I don’t mind too much. Had a moment with my dad where he got a good look at my gf and he did the whole “hell yeah” and patting me on the back when he saw how pretty she is, my mom and sibling agree but I can’t lie it did hit differently. I’ve told them a lot about her and they approve like I mentioned before, they like her good heart and her smarts too.
