i would say they describe two separate axes. “agender” is how much you identify with gender at all, whereas “gender non-binary” describes your experience of gender, when/if you have it (which is quite a broad term, with the only definition being “not the binary experience of being a a man or woman”)

to elaborate, there are other terms e.g. “demigender” or “genderflux” that describe different points on the “how much do you identify with having gender at all” axis (these are like, partially identify with having gender, but not totally)

so one could be agender or demigirl/boy depending on how much they relate to gender and what they feel their gender is when they do, for example (usually, in this type of situation, someone can still be classified under the bigger umbrella of “agender”, even if they do experience gender sometimes)

(also, the terns might seem like a lot, but a) they’re not super important, and b) they’re mostly learning root words and modifiers, e.g. “a” is “without”, and “gender” is… gender. “demi” is some, “flux” is… flux, etc)

you don’t have to use this label, but a commonly understood word for this is “agender”. just wanted to let you know about it, in case you didn’t know

i believe this is the game of life? basically, each square represents whether it’s alive or not (white = dead, black = alive), and each frame (image, in this case), each square decides whether it’s alive or not depending on the squares around it according to some rules i forgot but should be covered in the link

ouhhh i didn’t realize it worked to browse, also. thanks!

any chance that someone could source this for a guy who doesn’t use the nazi hell site?

i feel like this comment is actually rooted in concern that talking about suicidal ideation increases it, and, while i don’t have studies to support it, talking about it certainly doesn’t increase the actual rate of suicide, and i believe openly talking about it lowers the barrier to people being able to get help when the thoughts actually become dangerous

certainly, at least i’ve heard from plenty of people who deal with these sort of thoughts, that not being able to express them can isolate and distance them further from their friends and community (a notably more dangerous situation). so, while the increase in dialogue about suicidal ideation makes me sad, i’m at least happy that it’s increasingly normal for people not to suffer in silence

but as an aside, gatekeeping suicidal ideation is crazy lmfao

many people in potioncraft:

i think it would be pretty cool for you to ask them to sign a pride flag though. be normal about it, but they’ll be flattered. it’s a cool project

you can try lite salt, it’s sodium salt cut with potassium salt! (i do this for keto but it should work well for workout purposes too)

i’ve never understood this sort of masculinity, but i also have people who need me to be alive to continue living, and i assume that changes the math (transmasc, since i figure people will wonder, and i’m fine with this being the one thing where i’m not a real man lol)

what’s uhhh, what’s the implication here. because that hand position implies holding down and fucking, but the way the legs are positioned absolutely do not

could do a riding thing if you have a dick and you’re being held down by someone with a vagina, i guess, but i feel like that’s also a different interpretation of what’s happening

(mostly joking / overthinking)

“i don’t have a partner because [only theyfabs] asked me out” is an insane cope, that’s a skill issue

yeah i remember those insecure assholes. annoyed the shit out of me

glad this community isn’t like that :) fuck reddit, and welcome

does the guy you like recognize you as a guy?

this is so real. dresses looked alright on me and then i became much closer to a bear and it’s. less good.

which is even more incredibly fucked when you consider the illusory truth effect, or the effect of something seeming more truthful by the mere repeated exposure to it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_truth_effect)

i’ve found that therapy is good for practicing social skills, and explaining your feelings to other people. these are generally valuable skills, but they lack in what you’re looking for - trying to get yourself to a less reactive state

have you read a book called “the body keeps the score”? it talks a lot about PTSD/CPTSD, the causes, and, most relevantly, the treatments. if you want to stick to therapy, i would suggest EMDR, it seems to have better outcomes for people dealing with trauma. for stuff you can do today, i would practice 4-7-8 breathing and yoga. down the line, i would recommend looking into neurofeedback. it helped me a ton. but i think breathing + yoga are sort of the slow, manual path that neurofeedback takes you down, and are worthwhile in their own respect

good luck in your journey, i hope you find this helpful. one day, may trauma be as easy to treat as any other condition humans can be afflicted with
