Honestly I think that Nimona such a raw and simple explanation of dysphoria and euphoria in the movie. It really moved me (both times now haha) when I watched it.
But she doesn’t just stop there, she actually talks about the freedom of being herself!
Transness is so often limited to this horrible condition which afflicts you. This idea that you are a sufferer of dysphoria and nothing more. Transition, whatever that means to each person, is only done to treat this condition, alleviate the symptoms, mitigate the pain. The best you can hope for is a life without “itchy insides”.
But the way she talks about the freedom of the “sneeze” is more than just relief of the discomfort. It is a positive experience in it’s own right! Transition is not just some treatment, it is a joy. Pure joy. Euphoric.
To transition or to just be able to BE trans, is to be happier and freer than ever before. To be trans is a gift perhaps.
This one hit especially close to home for me. Maybe I could have survived without transition, that thought often caused me doubts in the early days. If I was even worthy of the “treatment” if my “illness” wasn’t severe enough.
Maybe, maybe.
But god it’s made me so very alive.
Our joy isn’t a crime. Our lives are not unworthy of happiness. It is not wrong to want real, beautiful, vibrant, chaotic, messy, unpredictable, stupendous, unashamed, overwhelming LIFE!
There is no obligation to hold ourselves back for the comfort of others. To not only inflict pain on ourselves, but deprive ourselves of joy because perhaps we could survive without the “cure”.
We are not defined by our suffering. It is not our pain that shapes us, It merely attempts to break us. We are defined by who we are in spite of it all, by the joy we us to build ourselves up, brick by beautiful brick.
Oh the irony of being pressured into going to a Bible study because I need to "listen to other viewpoints" when that Bible study is going to just be a regurgitation of all the viewpoints I hear day in and day out.

I STOPPED WITH THE EXCUSES AND PUT THE LETTER ON MY DAD'S DESK.
*internal screaming*
Hey guys so I decided to ask my parents if I could post tiktoks, but I'm an anxious wimp who panics at the thought of asking for anything at all. Like, even just asking for a bottle of soda. So, I sent my parents an email. I listed the pros and cons, repeatedly assured them it is ok if they say no, cited my sources, and everything. So we'll see how this goes.
So as you guys know, if you remember my only other post, that I'm in the closet to everyone I know. Also, it's pride month. So I've been kinda sad that I can't really celebrate. Today, my mom, my sister and I are gonna go pick something up in town so I got unreasonably excited because I get to wear these.
Ignore the blurriness of the picture, I'm in the car.
But YAY RAINBOW SOCKS
It's funny, my Mom got these for me, unknowingly fueling my gayness.
Also, useless side note, my mom is currently trying to call almost anyone in her contacts. Anything to avoid talking to her children I guess.
i’m sorry but even if your personal version of mormonism excludes all the “if you’re a good mormon your skin will turn white when you die, no matter your race” and “dark skin is a sign of the devil” bs, your religion is still racist.
the idea that israelites sailed across the atlantic ocean and formed a population in north america that could be attributed to native americans is racist.
the idea that jesus christ appeared to native americans and converted them to christianity pre-colonial times is racist.
the idea that the arrival of christianity to north america with european colonialism was a prophesied “reintroduction” of christianity is racist.
the foundations of your religion are racist.
the foundations of your religion are historical negationism.
the foundations of your religion justify american colonialism as the will of god.
try as hard as you want, it’s impossible to remove racism from mormonism. it’s racist by nature.
Hey guys!
I know I haven’t been here in like 2 years, but I’m back!
I accidentally deleted my main account and don’t know how I could get it back, so I’m gonna start posting here instead.
I know nobody follows me or sees my posts, but I’m posting here anyway.
I’m actually pretty sad I lost my old account, I can’t even look at my old posts anymore, but what can ya do ya know?
Anyways idk what else to put here so I’m just gonna pretend nothing happened and post updates since last time I was here. Also, I’m gonna try to stick to the original point of this blog according to my first post, so I said it once and I’ll say it again.
If you are transphobic, homophobic, racist, sexist, anti-semetic, or anything like it, do not follow me. Block me it would be better for both of us.
K bye
kill the imposter syndrome in your head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they’re also using chat gpt to do it

So maybe...
