This response I got on discord destroyed me.

Now that just makes me mad that cis men cannot take recreational estrogen just to be prettier.

Let me be a twink well into my 30s, dammit.

It is kinda wild how I basically hit 29 and every health issue and force on earth was like, time for twink death.

As a queer amab person who finally made peace with being queer and trans very late in life (at about 30), I think I skipped the twink window, and I've never felt hot enough to exist in queer circles. I've always felt ugly (sled esteem issues and body dysphoria don't help), but being over 30 and not having perfect skin, a tight body and amazing fits? Might as well be straight and cis.

Sorry, this made me chuckle. It's sickening that some kind of weird 20somethings-only culture has popped up and made people think this way. Ageism in queer communities is a sick joke. 30's not even old.

Yeah I realized how silly it looks when I wrote it, but to me it feels late because I spent all my adolescence and 20s just feeling like shit for what I thought was no reason, while trying to fit in into cis and heteronormative society instead of embracing the fact that I'm different and that's OK.

Doesn't help that I might as well be a dinosaur in most queer spaces around my area, coming back to the original point, where I don't feel like I fit in because everyone is beautiful and young and I'm... Not.

yea Many such cases unfortunately

Smh though that means your local spaces must be practically kid zones, oof.

I almost exclusively "dated" older women in those twink years. I'm sure you look great. Granted, I stayed a twink so long partially due go obsessively working out due to equal parts endorphins/self-esteem issues.

Badass. I kinda gave up at this point. Got much more pressing stuff to worry about.

Happy to have never been a twink. I can never die.

what does bear death look like

Say goodbye to never having any type of exercise without back pain

Wouldn't they bald AND grow tits if they take too little?
