It's alright to stay in the closet. Whether it's for safety reasons or you just aren't ready to come out yet, coming out should always be your choice. No one should pressure you to come out before you feel ready.

neopronouns are often seen as immature or stupid, especially ones like nounself pronouns or emoji pronouns. but all that matters is that they make you happy. if you want to use neopronouns, dont let other people stop you because they find them weird or cringy.

Butches aren't imitating men, they aren't predatory, they definitely do not have any sort of male privilege. Butches are not comparable to men, they are their own identity. Trans butches are not faking, and they are not less real or valid as butches because they are trans, or trans because they are butches. Butches, especially butches of color, do not have to conform to western ideas of masculinity and sacrifice their culture to be "real butches." Being butch is a very personal experience and no one should take that away from you. No one can define your identity but you.

body hair is natural and something you dont have to get rid of. it's a part of you. even if you dont find it beautiful, it's just a natural part of existing. you shouldnt be pressured into shaving just because of other peoples opinions on your body and presentation. you dont exist to fulfill other peoples view of what beauty is. transfeminine, afab, intersex, body hair isnt something you should be made to feel ashamed of if you have it.
