Hey, just in case you're out there, and your heart is telling you something important but you've been holding it in for so long that it feels like your whole life passed you by when you weren't looking, like chapters skipped on a dvd:
I had an idle curiosity and went down an internet rabbit-hole. Eventually, after one thing led to an eighth thing, and the short version is that someone cared about my bad Ranma fanfiction enough to figure out my real name and attach it to my fanfics on a wiki registry of Ranma fanfics writers.
Ngl, since all but one of the pieces was written while I was an angsty teen, I thought I'd be more mortified. Oh well, I pulled down all the really bad ones a while ago.
@Impossible_PhD the upside or downside of growing up a little bit earlier is that none of my early stuff was digital, and the occasional flood and whatnot has insured I need never fear the possibly fatal embarrassment I would suffer if any of it showed up now.
@Impossible_PhD
I still enjoy horror films that are scary without being gory.
This one, I've been looking forward to. Not out here until next month, though…
@Impossible_PhD it gets weird pretty fast and then just accelerates into weirdness from there...but also Utena and Anthy are so incredibly gay together....i don't want to spoil things but feel an intense need to scream about the imagery the plays out almost every episode during a key part 😍😍😍
What happens after the end of the second year of hormonal transition, once all the doctors say you've seen everything you're going to see. Why is it that basically everyone sees... well, a heck of a lot more?
This week on #StainedGlassWoman, we're talking about Transition Timelines, and the science--and lack thereof--of later transition!
@Impossible_PhD@EmilyGB2023 My GP is skeptical about prog and doesn't recommend it. She says none of her patients that have tried it found any positive effect.
I think she would give me a script if I insisted. I'm just trying to work out at what point that would be a good idea...
A new study found that autistic folks (well, mice models) develop PTSD brain structures significantly more eaaily than ballistic ones. That even comparatively minor stressors of the right type can cause this.
What I’m hearing: Neurodivergence might conceivably be correlated with greater susceptibility to trauma, especially minor traumas. Given that it’s more likely that minor traumas arrive frequently in a life, the connection to cPTSD seems… very plausible.
What do they say about avoiding forming traumas about things? Play some tetris right after? So, engage in a structured activity with well defined rules? This all sounds cohesive in the way that simple but powerful understandings often are.
What duck? @geeoharee Replying to @KHandozo we can't distinguish autistic behaviour from trauma because our current society produces no un-traumatised autistic people. 2:16 PM • 9/17/20
