Da biggest baddest blog

HI i went through an entire week forgetting about tumblr and it was amazing, but I'm back again

I actually just now realized that you're the same amazing dude who defended me at the very beginning of me falling into that discourse stuff, and I didn't even know it because I started following lots of people since then for some reason, and yeah, really nice to see you again. I had to go back to the old controversial™ post to see if it was really you and I was so weirdly glad to have been right, hello again old friend :) I never unfollowed you or anything, I was just so caught up with tumblr shenanigans since we first met that I lost track of everything

I feel the exact same way you did, and it was kind of a long time coming with me stepping away from the discourse stuff, but tumblr is an awful place for discourse. It's so easy to either get stuck in an echo chamber or you will get several people angry at you, not a great experience either way

To answer your question though, I definitely felt a giant weight off my back after it all. I do still have some discourse stuff recommended to me, and I'll share a thought about it here and there, but I really just had to be tolerant and remember to agree to disagree and whatever. I think even being "too far" in my own side gave me that same feeling of making sure I didn't cross some line, even though, like you, I still hold the basic opinion that dysphoria is required to be trans, especially since looking more into biological factors and all that, although it's just… I think you understand what I mean, right? Like there are expectations to be met or something. I really think it's just bad for you in general, I haven't felt so free since my random post blew up in April.

(No idea if you want this to be public but I always post my questions unless someone tells me not to so… heyyy)
