illicit affairs and clandestine meetings.
mayhaps self mythologising is okay to a small extent if you’re in control of the tint you’re applying to your life and can easily remove it and look at yourself clearly when needed. i have a friend who graduated with pink roses on her graduation cap and makes her love of roses so evident in all she does and she makes the world reflect her interests and she’s immensely clever and still teaches her students with a pink laptop full of sailor moon stickers. i admire and adore her and Know she carries her specific aesthetic immaculately (which might also have to do with her being a libra, hehe.) but she’s one example of other people i know, too, who know what they like and enjoy it instead of being self conscious and culling their interestingness to fit in—which is what i sometimes do. and I won’t do it anymore. I’ll enjoy what i enjoy; polish it till it gleams. not to be confused with grandiosity—but with living with care enough to know what i like and consciously make it larger in my life.

just a quick note- no trans person has ever said “did you just assume my gender.” trans people are very aware of how their gender and physical appearance differ and that visually one might assume that they are a man/woman when they are actually not. that’s kind of the whole idea of gender dysphoria.

i know nothing but the sun.
