pure vibes babey

for those just joining us: my name is juno, i'm a trans person with several mental disabilities who has recently 1. lost my job suddenly 2. lost my psychiatrist after smth he prescribed me put me in the ER (he left ME) and 3. lost my apartment after our asshole landlord tried to nearly double our rent. my partner and i are currently living with my parents, we are both incredibly burnt out, but there's still much work to be done before i feel like we'll be "okay."

i'm receiving unemployment benefits, but it's less than my cost of living (even with my parents), and given that my meds have been completely up in the air for almost a year now, i've been partly self medicating with weed which is expensive in its own right. i'm also currently paying $200/month to keep most of my belongings in storage, and when the time comes to move again, i'll have to pay another $500 just to have them take it back out.

TL;DR: things are starting to stabilize a bit, and i'm not in dire need, but i am still on thin ice. i'd especially like to make as much of that monthly $200 back as I can, because the faster I can accrue some savings, the faster I can get us the hell out of here

if you'd like to help, you can donate as little as $1 to my kofi, or you can watch any of my youtube video essays/compilations to generate some ad revenue. if you send a request alongside a kofi donation, i'll draw you something small as thanks! it's the least i could do (it's the most my energy will allow rn lol)

From time-to-time, I hear non-binary positivity breach the topics of going on HRT, as well as top surgery (usually for transmascs, but I will get into this separately)...

But almost never bottom surgery.

So I am here to say this:

If you presently have a penis and to ANY degree would be happier without it, this doesn't automatically mean you must be a woman. You don't have to be a binary woman to be valid in wanting to have a vagina. Vaginoplasty and/or orchiectomy aren't just for binary women.

If you presently have a vagina and to ANY degree would be happier without it, this doesn't automatically mean you must be a man. You don't have to be a binary man to be valid in wanting to have a penis. Metoidioplasty AND phalloplasty aren't just for binary men.

Being non-binary doesn't mean you have to "make peace" with your natal parts, you are allowed to transition your body in whichever way validates you the most.

Like i cant help but feel hot thinking about these things, i never thought id find myself liking something other than computers and laptops.but I probably like them bc they’re aesthetically pretty to me

Is this not just an absolutely insulting thing to say to someone??? I feel like I’m always crying about feeling isolated by sex repulsion in this community but this is just completely cruel and presumptuous to say right???

I know this person has been an issue in the past but I censored their name anyways because I don't believe in witch hunting. I'm aware they're likely neurodivergent but this is a community full of neurodivergent people, and I could see someone less confident in their abilities to set boundaries getting far more upset by someone like this. I strongly believe this is a symptom of a larger problem in OS spaces in general and I'm honestly really tired of feeling like I'm repeating myself and feeling like I'm seeing a trend that isn't there. Well. Guess what? I was right. Unfortunately. The amount of entitlement from absolute strangers towards the things in MY life is bonkers to me. Get a grip and do it away from me!
