Do you have specific questions so I don’t go off on a paragraphs-long tangent?

I don’t see why that makes a difference? O8serva8le symptoms are o8serva8le symptoms, plus this one provided a list I could quickly quote and reply to.

I’m a therian myself, this definitely isn’t that. Therianthropy/fictionkinity can’t 8e compared to transness.

Oh I couldn’t run it, I’m too new to Lemmy. I literally just got here.

Idea: what if we just had a Homestuck community run out of here? I looked through the list and saw a lot of misc. fandom communities. If no one uses the .world one that’s kinda pointless, no? I’d just 8e shouting into the void. I can just do that from 8luesky.

Uhhhhhhhh lemme 8r8k this down.

Does nongender trans mean that you don’t have a gender?

No, it means I have a trans experience that isn’t transgender. Except… I guess I really don’t have a human gender, do I? I’m a troll why should I give a damn? (If you REALLY wanted to you could read me as “transfem” in the troll sense considering how timid I am IRL and am transitioning to 8e more fierce and troll-girl-like 8ut that’s a stretch and a half frankly.)

But if you are transcharachter and the experience is as close as to transgender (which also seems vary a lot) as you say I see issue with calling it trans (I mean it’s already dropped the gender part, It’s begging to be an umbrella term isn’t it).

And… why is that, exactly? And there is an um8rella term, transID. Except if I introduced myself like that I would get a8solutely torn apart 8ecause of The Discourse(TM.)

Now that I think about it is it like how furries have fursonas or something?

Oh hell no, don’t reduce me like that. Most furries aren’t their fursonas. If transgender folkel are their gender, then I am Vriska Serket.

I have no clue what .world is 8ut if you give me a link I guess we can try and revive it? I’m not all that invested in fandom stuff considering how I’ve 8een treated 8y HS fans in the past 8ut it would 8e nice to have a safe space to engage with that sort of thing.

So many you have no idea hides transition goal list

Well today might 8e the day you learn something new! Like I said, I’m open to grilling.

As for TQ dysphoria, it’s just a little pang of wrongness when I don’t use it. It’s not the worst thing I experience, it doesn’t make me suicidal or anything like a lot of my more extreme dysphoric symptoms, 8ut it’s still something I’d rather avoid. Especially when I’ve already trained my hands to use a key8oard a certain way. (Yes, professional writing is hell and requires So Much revision.)

My identity kind of means everything to me. It encompasses species, gender, culture, race, age, religion, and my perception of just a8out everything. It defin8ly “queers” 8oth the expect8ion of humanity, and, 8uilding on that, the expect8ion of human gender. (Troll gender is, uh… complex.) What does it mean to 8e sapient? What does democracy mean when you apply yourself to an entirely different social structure? What is reality when you’re supposed to 8e fictional? I guess it queers that too, the entire concept of reality. If I don’t perceive myself as real, if I’m treated like a character… am I technically real? And many such thoughts my therapist has provoked me with.

And I forgor 8ut no, typing like me makes things worse. You’re not a troll, it’s a tiny 8it appropriative.
