  • I find it freeing to not have to worry about my partners “cheating” or getting involved with other people. They found someone new? Good. They’re probably a cutie who I’ll get along with, even if we never get close with each other. Whether or not my partners love me or if we’re as close as I want is a whole separate matter from how much they love other people. There is still plenty that can go wrong in the relationship, but other people won’t be the issue.


  • I think they just want line to go up and can’t hold themselves back from trying to take everything they can. The current generation are wealth addicts with no self control who are incapable of enacting long term plans. They are so out of touch and lack so much perspective that they can’t even comprehend their own ineptitude.

    Capitalists want high fertility rates so the price of labor is kept low, but they don’t want to fundamentally change things to make it happen. They invest heavily in conservatism and anti-intellectualism because it’s easy, but not only are the results lackluster, the costs are too high. Countries that haven’t gutted public education and social services have a distinct advantage over those that let private interests make every decision, as oligarchs make poor public planners.

    In the long run, the rich will not only cause the downfall of wealthy empires like the US, but cause a surge in nationalism and an end to free trade. Even if they move as much wealth as possible to their next target country, they are creating a world where they are no longer as dominant because nationalistic governments will once again taken center stage. They will never have a better deal than neoliberalism, and as that very ideology destabilizes the liberal world order, they’ll lose many privileges they take for granted.




  • I mostly got over the imposter syndrome, but only because I came to recognize that being trans wasn’t my choice. I had the need to be a woman thrust upon me, and in many ways it wasn’t what I wanted. I am not brave. I am a coward. All I wanted my entire life was to be as “normal” and boring as possible because growing up a weirdo hurt so much.

    I only transitioned when I felt like the alternative was suicide, and it made me happier than I had ever been in my life. Every time I’ve considered the idea that I might not be trans, I laugh because the notion is so absurd at this point. My inner demon plotting my downfall doesn’t even try to doubt my gender anymore, because the evidence that I’m trans is just too definitive.

    Besides, I became far closer to normal after transitioning than I had ever been before. Feeling comfortable in my gender allowed me socialize far more naturally and made me feel like I actually had a place. I didn’t really feel like a person in the past, only a paper mache imitation of what a person was. It wasn’t sticking out that made me feel so abnormal back then; it was not being myself.
