No, said Aziraphale, it's ineffable.

So the gender is some flavor of nonbinary and kind of

Squishy.

So a kind of blur between “probably female” and “¿?”. I used to feel ¿? for such a small percent of the time that I have been dismissing it for literally like 15 years. It’s a much larger percentage now than it ever was. Don’t know why that is, but it is. At first I was like, “I’m gonna write an essay about this,” because you know how I do with So Many Words, but maybe I am still keeping all that history of brief encounters with a non gender shit with me for now.

I’ve been frustrated with not loving ‘they’ as a pronoun for me, but also feeling like 'she’ robbed me of any chance of feeling more ¿?-ish (which my body type does a great job of already, more on that later), and then I saw xe/xyr/xem and loved it as a hybrid of both and then cried for two days because I discovered it was a pronoun set that many people outwardly hated. So that’s the set I like and want and I don’t know, I expect some people to have a little personal fit and bail, but okay.

I bought some binders (those were the one surprisingly too large item and the reorder) and discovered within about 3 hours how obstructive and limiting and painful my enormous chest is. With the bulk of it against my body instead of being rigged up and away from me, I sat better, was more comfortable in my car and wasn’t constantly repositioning the seatbelt, did not have to safety pin shirts with buttons, and thought I might actually be able to do more active things without this massive weight pulling and hurting. Don’t know what any of that means except that I’ll be wearing the binders fairly often in the future for sure. They just reduce the massive size and I knew it would be nice, but didn’t realize how intense of a change it would be.

So there’s some stuff! More to come, I imagine?

It’s still okay to call me Lady, though I’m a little weird about what to do with that, too! I’ve been this since I was 14, so it’s tightly meshed.

yay, jazz hands

The exact news cycle of cattle in the news:

-Sort of interesting bovine’s characteristics exaggerated (in this case, by standing next to a smaller breed of cattle)
-Outlets report about a interesting cow
-Other outlets come back with the “well actually” hot take, about him not being a cow because he’s male (Knickers is a steer)
-Hot take on the hot take of the bovine not being a cow (this is where we are now)
