thinking about puberty (not sad though)

You know, I wonder how cis people actually process puberty.

I feel like I remember most adults/teens telling me it's rough/hard, but like, idk. I imagine they're more or less happy with the result. Obviously I can't compare it to my second puberty that much but like, I'm stoked to get my woman body. I know they don't have gender dysphoria/euphoria the same way trans people do but like, its got to be a little exciting to get your adult body that matches what you want. The only thing I can think is just like, being a kid in general is hard sometimes? Other kids can be mean?

spoiler talking about my own puberty, voice dysphoria (not sad about it rn) I don't think my first was as traumatizing, at the time, as a lot of other trans people's. I do remember hating my voice changing, and that hatred has carried through to present day. Now I have an answer for why, but a cis person wouldn't experience that. And even though I'm trans, and had some envy at the time, I think first puberty was more or less fine for me at the time? Maybe I've blocked out feelings but I think I was very at that age, everything was more or less fine. My issues with puberty have come on much more recently, and I'm guessing cis people don't experience that either. :::

The conclusion here is I don't understand the cis, and who better to ask about cis issues then a bunch of trans people.

If I'm already in can I still get one?

Are sure that's only an adhd thing 🤔 I always have a video or music going while I'm doing stuff, both is usually too much though.

My sensory (issues feels like a strong word but ig) stuff would not let me wear one the gay way, but I salute you for trying :o7:

Massive block for me, especially for posting about my interests.

Clearly you haven't read enough of my posts 😔

I wouldn't listen if it didn't :shrug-outta-hecks:

:lea-think: hmm, good and bad stimulation, that makes sense. I guess stimming is just repeating good stimulus.

Yea see, and you're neurotypical too. Sometimes you just have to listen to the same song and mess with stuff for a little bit in a very neurotypical way.

This is a bit but knowing you do the same is genuinely very validating. That's honestly always been a thing I've been kinda "stuck" on but is obviously just silliness, now.

Explain this to me chat. If I'm actually autistic, why when I get over stimulated do I listen to quiet music? Would it not make more sense to try and have silence?

I think I have demonstrated I am not actually autistic, because I like music too much.
