I volunteered for a task at work that requires me record myself.
I have to say, "This is MR. [Dead name]" at the beginning of each recording. Then I have to hear my voice when reviewing the recordings.
Is this self harm? It's probably self harm

OMG they're so cute together I love these kinds of stories so much
watcha listening to? i finally got round to listening to geordie greep's album, it's so good
Thomas Blounts dictionary of 1656 lists the word tranfeminate. Though apparently it meant then what we'd call transmasc. Or transgender in general Wild.
look, i'm sorry and i know people are gonna hate me for this, but i have to say it:
pee pee and a big ol fart
why the fuck am i up so early. this fucking sucks
Idk if I'll fully drop he/him or reverse it to secondary yet but feeling out they/them is good. Man been feeling too heavy while guy is light. I can't fully explain it yet need to sleep on it and ponder
Gender is happening, folks!
sometimes this site is exhausting tbh. why is it that people here love armchair moralizing about other peoples’ decisions that don’t affect them (this is about the “eating slop” thread but i see it elsewhere too) without maybe considering that disabled people exist under capitalism too. i almost want to report that thread for ableism tbh.
looks
You do wonder if there are people that turn to leftism generally because they feel it's the best way to look down their nose at others.
I discuss transphobia/terfs a lil, nothin specific tho
I was rolling this fucking Shiela Jeffreys (deeply unserious woman) quote around in my head, the one about men and histories of transgression and whatever. The easy answer is that cis men beinv more privileged to do transgressive anything stops when... you stop being a cis man, because it's societally constructed. Duh.Real brainworm consumers know.
The thing I finally hit on though, is that I don't think there's literally a single terf argument or "theory" that cannot be defeated by realising "these fuckin' losers, their entire thing hinges on taking assigned gender as sacred and absolute and true. Gender assignment was literally made up by people based on "common traits" they observed thousands of years ago, it's demonstrably insufficient to describe humans, and yet these dweebs want to base their discrimination on it? They're literally licking the boot that presses on their throats."
Felt kinda good independently using the theory I've absorbed to bust up goofy terf screeds. 3am I-skipped-my-gabapentin thoughts :3
Good genderposting. I just wish that this entire basis of thought holds power because it is in the interest of the bourgeoise power base to uphold colonial gender roles, and we subvert that by simply existing.
Existence is resistance, silence is death, all that good stuff. Ty ✨
nah thank you for being cool and transgender, in that order.
sie thinks I am a cool transgender, chat!!!!!!!
Also just want to say how good it feels to have someone refer to me as "sie" I don't use those pronouns irl(yet), and they were initially an experiment, but they feel really good.
I am making an effort to gender people because it's fun and makes them feel good happy I could help!
Thank you, Ash(https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/14c2707b-51cb-44ed-be2f-f262d088e219.png "emoji heart-sickle")
out of curiosity, how does it feel for you when trans folks use "they" for you? I remember that you used to have those pronouns on your name, and removed them after unpleasant interactions with gamers on the bearsite. ![heart-sickle]
They say you're nobody till somebody loves you
But you are somebody
Because I love you
