Safety is saying the hard thing and watching someone move closer instead of away. It's disagreement without abandonment. Repair without punishment. Honesty without fear.

I concur with one of the commenters. This should be what Oddish evolves into.

Took me a bit to get dressed today. But it’s the first time I am “Full boy” in public. Binder, boxers, packing and even wearing a belt. And that chest…so flat! Still got my whimsy with my mushroom shirt on though. That will never go away.

Sitting up having oreos and milk in the glow of the kitchen nightlight just reflecting. My wife is sleeping, I just said sweet dreams to my beloved, and my intimate said this when I told her goodnight “I’ve grown one more day accustomed to your presence”. Tonight I rest feeling save and loved.

There's something deeply healing about hearing words that make your whole body tense, then discovering they aren't the start of something falling apart. They're simply the start of an honest conversation. Being safe isn't never hearing scary words. It's knowing they won't be used to hurt you.

Communication is so attractive. Tell me what you need. Tell me what you meant. Tell me if I misunderstood. Collaborative problem solving is incredibly hot.

Being a queer trans man is funny because I spent years wondering if anyone would ever want me. Now beautiful women say things that make my brain blue screen and my immediate response is: "Excellent. I shall think about this interaction for the next six to eight business months."

Hand diddled my squash this morning. Hehe Turns out Bug isn't just a nickname—it's a job description. I have now accepted my role in the ecosystem. I am a tiny menace with a paintbrush and a Certified Bug™ #gardening #pollination

For years I thought love was finding someone who could simply tolerate all the weird little bits of me. Turns out I was mostly wrong. It's about finding people who desire those parts. Who see the softness and call it strength. Who see the man I am and never ask me to leave the pretty behind.

I don't think transition made me brave. I think it made me stop spending all my courage pretending. There's an incredible amount of energy that comes back to you when your identity stops being a performance. Turns out I had room for joy the whole time. It was just buried under self-protection.

I don't think my autism makes me "too much” anymore. I think it just made me incredibly good at noticing when I was forcing myself to fit into places that never intended to hold me. Turns out the right people don't ask you to be less. They hand you more room.

Cast yourself as the villain.

I notice details because I'm autistic. I care with my whole chest because I'm autistic. I build rituals, collect joy, and remember the tiny things because I'm autistic. Some of my favorite parts of me stopped looking like deficits the moment I stopped measuring them against someone else's brain.

buddy listening to #dune 10 years later, after coming out as trans and a whole mess of life experiences. And let me tell you. I am convinced Frank Herbert accidentally wrote the premise of the Kwisatz Haderach as spot on metaphor for being a transgender woman.

I didn’t know this info until a friend from Canada said “Bruh, when a moose is that close, you run”. I said, “so moose not friend, noted”. Then my wife said “Fuck no. Especially fuck no to the bulls.“ For the record I won’t be the one to die from foraging random things. But from wildlife.

Today is tough, I am tired and not processing well. no sleep + period.I don’t know if I want to cry or yell. I got dressed, told my loved ones I’m having a bad day and still yet I am loved and safe. Then I got this message from an intimate “I really like being gay for you”. Excuse me while I cry.

The older I get, the more I think peace is just this: Making choices your nervous system doesn't have to recover from. Choosing people who make you softer instead of smaller. Choosing joy without asking permission. Choosing yourself over the story you were handed.

When someone you are seeing matches your energy and says: “I feel like I a kid getting ready for bed on Christmas Eve. With my knack for sleeping in lately I’m gonna wake up and you’re basically already gonna be here”. I get to choose who loves me and I’m choosing those who want me as I am.

Today I believe feeling deeply is a gift-- but I didn't always feel that way. I used to think of it as being a life-interrupting pain in the ass. But now I understand deep sensitivity, properly managed, to be one of the main things that makes you & me UNLIKE our abusers.

let me tell you. Lace packing boxers check ALL the boxes. I felt so good and right in my body. I’ll even share the picture with you, you don’t even have to ask nicely 😆 But seriously. Finding clothing that is for me, a guy, but still allows for softness and being “pretty”. It’s incredible.

If you’re not playing games with Candace, you’re missing out! Everything they put together is incredible 🤩 A little love note to those who are wondering if they’re “disabled enough” to apply - your experiences are valid. There’s no competition here. If you want to be involved, be involved! 💚

Your autism can’t hide from my autism babe 🤣😘

I just had the cutie im talking to say “Like let’s luxuriate equally in the food and the company”. My life was already pretty good, then the universe said here’s a little more sweetness. If you would’ve told me a 5 years ago this is life I’d find myself in, I would’ve told you that you were insane.

Whimsy is how we survive the horrors of life.

Birthday Jammies are ordered! I have a tradition where each person I’m with, when we spend time for my birthday, I pick out something just for us. This year was hard because *gender but I’m really proud of myself. Satin, backless shirts, lace boxers. It’s gonna be real good. Much excited.

i didn’t become the villain. i simply stopped editing myself into your version of the story.

Today I came out to my mom and somehow even with the relief, I still feel a unsettled. I think that's the strange thing about becoming yourself. Years of fear, second-guessing, or wondering how people will see you don’t just get erased.

In today’s episode of “I’m so gay, and the People around me make me melt with just their words” A: I’m afraid you’ll have to be more specific than that lover boy. R: Thaaaank you, love bug! V: I got all the spices. Nailed it! I am one lucky guy.

💕Happy Floobie Friday💕 The Losers are still happy together and Husk is exactly where he wants to be! No objection from Angel 😂✨. #HuskerDust #HazbinHotel #Husk #AngelDust #PrideMonth #Pride #FloobieFriday

When I realized that only person truly responsible for my joy and happiness is me, everything shifted. Who I allow into my life and can access me, how I react to the actions of those around me. It’s my call. I had this interaction today hehe and this life in curating for myself is so good.

“Help!” cried Toad. “My list is blowing away. What will I do without my list?”

What if instead of fixing my problems I found a cute girl and listened to her explain something she's excited about?

Me: I'm going to focus today. A cute woman with a beautiful voice: laughs Me: Well, I've done all I can do.
