Oh No… Our Gender… Its Broken

@procrastinating-existence

Basically just random rants typically about my gender journey because I don’t have any original thoughts ever
they/them

dam…….. that website “you feel like shit” (it’s like a questionnaire / troubleshooting guide for when you feel like shit) really works………………….. im not even all the way thru it and i even half-assed a lot of the suggestions and i already feel loads better

for some reason, with this website, i was able to complete small tasks ive been fruitlessly bugging myself to do for weeks??

anyway, i feel almost good now :^)

im glad this got some notes!!!! i hope it helps y’all find some measure of peace or comfort <3

Reblogging for my own reference later, and in case it benefits anyone else reading this.

last night my partner held a somber little passover seder to show me what it’s about and when they got to the part where they were supposed to open the door for elijah they paused, frowned, and said “oh. huh. there is a clown.” and I looked out. and sure enough. there was a clown.

Listen. If being mean to you guys wasn’t so much funnier than giving you exactly what you wanted, I swear I wouldn’t do it.

But it is. It really is.

As always, AO3 link is still in the first chapter!

Danger Twink Powers Activate

“Danger Twink is on the move!” It was Nightwing yelling it into the comms. It had to be, because not a damn one of the rest of them could have got through that sentence without laughing.

Oh, his voice was all joyful glee and Spoiler was soooo mad she left when she did because what the fuck is she missing, but the message was clear.

Things in the ballroom hit a flashpoint, and for some reason Danny was doing the shit kicking. She’d wonder what the fuck Jason thought he was doing, since he’d been in arm’s reach of the guy all evening, but.

Yeah. Last she saw, Croc was separating them. Apparently Danny took a little less kindly to that than you’d think.

Please by the gods take my bones from me they all suck

Danny always spends his Christmases alone since he left Amity Park. His friends are busy with their own celebrations and now he has an excuse to ditch the family ones?

Excellent

The decorations are everywhere and the damn songs won’t stop playing, so he gets a hot cocoa and wanders to a graveyard where no one will bother him

Joke’s on him though, cuz it turns out there is someone sitting behind the headstone he pauses at to drink

Danny, who is having A Day and can’t be mugged anyway, asks whose headstone this giant fuck is chilling behind

Jason, also Going Through It, decides this is the perfect time to go full creep mode and say “mine”

He is not expecting some scraggly ass bastard to nod sagely and go “mood” solely because Jason cannot work modern tech and does not have social media

They hang out in the graveyard for the rest of the night, not talking about the holiday and why they hate it, just Danny telling Jason about the stars and Jason telling Danny his favourite books

It’s not until he sees Jason in the line for coffee three weeks later that Danny realizes he wasn’t a ghost

Oh this is great. Danny fully thinks that he just hallucinated Jason or he was a lost spirit until he sees Jason with a iced caramel latte a local coffee shop.

Jason is less confused that the kid was real but more shocked they met again. Gotham is a very very big city. You really dont just happen to meet a complete stranger twice within the same month. Jason vented to the kid because he thought that he never was gonna see him again.

But lo and behold, its the exact same kid he talked to in the Graveyard who’s ordering the ungodly concoction of espresso and far too many pumps of pumpkin flavor at the front counter.

Alright, I guess we doing this… and now it’s a novella… because I have Chronic Overexplaining Syndrome

This is why I put these up for adoption in case anyone was wondering

*EDIT: link to the fic!*

Danny hadn’t thought anything could be worse than his parents’ rampant hatred of ghosts. Than spending every meal being treated to a lecture of his painful death at their hands.

But, joke’s on him, because of course things could always get worse for the Ghost King.

ultimately i guess my advice when it comes to figuring out your gender identity and expression is: think of it like you're in a dressing room, but for your gender, and just shop around, try things out and see what fits. you can always return anything that doesn't fit right.

Thanks for the ask!

So I might’ve made a discovery so I was sitting on my bathroom counter scrolling through my phone when I look in the mirror I’ve noticed my face felt fuzzier than normal but I didn’t think anything of it but when I looked closer I saw a decent sized dark hair and a bunch of longer than normal blondeish hairs! And I’ve seen what the hairs on my face normally look like and this is new. My hair is sorta dark blonde when it’s not dyed realistically it might be just brown now it’s been so long since I had non dyed hair lol. But I’ve never wanted facial hair but that’s more of a sensory wise it sounds no kinda thing rather than much thought beyond that but the euphoria at being able to was wonderful. It just feels like me. And the softer fuzzy face feel is great.

I literally finally had told everyone my name (except one person but oh well) and I’m starting to question wether I should stick with it. I don’t know whether it’s insecurity over the fact that my mom told me flat out she’d rather I’d have picked any other name like bob than my choice and it would’ve been easier and I feel like she’s just clinging to the desperate hope I will change it but if it’s not this then I don’t know what it would be. But if it’s mot insecurity then I’m still just as lost because I keep desperately hoping this name will work out because I love all the ties and before I told people I was proud of the name but now all I can think of is all the negative responses. Heck that’s why I waited so long in the first place I’d know the name since may but I wasn’t able to admit it to myself and even wen I did I didn’t share with most people until I was able to have confidence to receive negative feedback but I didn’t expect the response I got even in my realistic worst case scenario (my parents have been supportive but my moms reaction was like she tore all my confidence in my name to shreds in front of me) it feels like that one reaction image where the dude shoots someone and says why would so and so do this I’m half tempted to change just so she’s happy but I also would almost rather be unsatisfied with my name than prove her right and never have her take me seriously when I try to tell her whatever my name ends up being

I’ve decided on a new name and technically I did it months ago but now I’ve accepted it and decided to tell people because i was told settling only because I was nervous was only hurting me and the people who really care about me won’t be upset at me and would be proud of me

My reasoning kept getting confirmed again and again and I finally realized how exited I am at the prospect of a new name because while I’m still me everyone has always associated my name with femininity despite the gender neutralness of it. It feels like a chalkboard that even when wiped off still has feminist of the chalk even if you can’t tell what design it was in and some people don’t mind or even enjoy the background chalk but my new name slowed me to completely wipe it down with water and start completely blank and I’ve never had that ability before now but it’s a wonderful thing

I’m curious and need peoples help

What do people think about there names like birth name or chosen name I can understand why trans and non-binary people might not like there birth names but my question then is essentially what about there chosen name even how do you know it’s your name like does it just fit? Or like just feels like it’s you? Or is it like just an identifier just like if someone called you the (hair color) kid you recognize that they are talking to you but your name isn’t that obviously you just know that they are talking about you almost like a nickname

By the way free to answer this if you are cis, trans, non-binary, questioning, etc.

It's hard to explain, but... let's say your going shopping. Specifically, clothes shopping, be cause your current ones don't fit quite right. Perhaps they're a little too small or a little too big or the wrong shape or too tight around the shoulders or chest or hips. So you go looking for new ones. It's not always easy; sometimes it takes a while to find some good clothes, other times you can spot the clothing that will fit you right away. These "clothes" are our "names". Does that make sense?

That actually makes a lot of sense when you put it that way thank you! :)
