You should feel proud, that's a big W. It's something I still struggle with myself.
I got gendered correctly today. Had someone calling out "sir, sir", trying to ask me for directions. I turn to face them, and they look confused. "Sir, Ma'am, I can't tell with the mask on". I took my shot, put on my best fem voice. I had mastered the talk-no-jutsu, my voice training was about to pay off. I looked at the person, and proceeded to ignore most of the training, just changing pitch and speaking more softly. It still worked, I got called ma'am. They later apologized for getting it wrong, and I just said no worries. No eyebows. No stare. No disgust.
I've done it, I've won :keikaku:
ANTI CISHET AKTION
Press-on nails get the wall. Sorry press-on nail fans, but I just went through a sensory nightmare for a little over 24 hours just to have my real nails destroyed. 0/10 would not reccomend.
Characters you like is a classic that I always fall on, and a pride flag banner can't hurt to start. It's a pretty basic way to set up a profile, but it works. Adding a bio can also help to spice it up.
it took me ages just to make an account or usernames for stuff
Yeah, it took me almost a year to create a Hexbear account at all, and my first username was really bad. I also, as you can probably tell based on my advice, don't really know what else to do other than what I am already doing. My 2nd username was just a name that I didn't use in real life, and my username now is based on a group of people from a video game. My PFP is in that group of people. I'm not the most creative account, I may have an anime-adjacent pfp, I may just have a pride flag as my banner, but I at least like to think it works.
Edit: My banner used to be a cropped screenshot of a game. That could also work, and it's still @Luna@hexbear.net's banner, although I don't know how well it works, I just like the game's aesthetic.
I finally got my T results and IT'S LOWER THAN LAST TIME AND I WAS OFF OF THE SPIRO AT THAT POINT
I'm so glad it wasn't higher, I probably would have panicked and stressed for another 3 months.
I've been listening to a lot of MCR, especially their first album. Also been listening to Karnivool's Asymmetry, plus a couple of songs from their Sound Awake.
