“The assumption that what currently exists must necessarily exist is the acid that corrodes all visionary thinking.”

  • you’re not weak. you’re in a situation just about anyone would struggle with and it’s clearly not your fault. i hope you are able to keep that spark alive even if it’s not safe to come out the way you’d like right now. are there subtle things you would feel comfortable doing that might make you feel more femme? before my egg cracked i grew out my hair, pierced my ears, and began painting my nails on occasion. or like nikki suggested, an undergarment might be somewhat affirming. i wish i could offer you comfort beyond a proffered virtual hug. please stay safe.



  • hi! saw the cele/celes pronouns, but not sure if ‘you’ is appropriate when addressing a plural entity/these ones in particular, so please correct me if that’s wrong. i just want to apologize for not responding to this sooner - i’d been logged out and didn’t realize you’d sent another reply. first, want to assure you that you’ve not caused me any harm, but thank you for checking in. i appreciate what you are trying to create and i totally understand how the way some folks communicate their mental health struggles could potentially be harmful to themself and others. i know my own negative self talk is a life-long battle that i continue to struggle with, but i see now that i could communicate about it better when needed without simultaneously spreading my own poison around, so i am sorry if i hurt you or anyone else when doing so and will try to hold myself to a higher standard. thanks for the additional context.
