      There’s an unfortunately large amount of people who completely lack any ability to introspect or think critically

        Alternatively they’re unable to accept the persecution of a highly prejudicial society. Everyone chooses what they’re willing to sacrifice to get by. It’s completely possible for something to very important and worth fighting for while also not being something you want to deal with right now with everything else that’s goimg on.

          It can also be social conditioning. Being gay or trans is still usually portrayed socially and in media etc. as something that happens to “other people”, so even if you know about it, you don’t necessarily realize you can be one of those other people

            Also from my own experience, public visibility and education matters so much. Growing up in Hungary, I only knew that trans people “lived as the other gender”, but I never heard about HRT or even surgeries (aside from tabloid coverage of MtF bottom surgery 🙄). I knew that the way my body looked, I would never be seen as anything else than female, so I didn’t even acknowledge to myself that I would be much happier as a guy. It just wasn’t a possibility, so being a practical person, I never really considered the idea.

            I was in my early twenties by the time I randomly heard of the existence FtM top surgery and HRT, and in a moment my world turned upside down. I still spent like a month with tons of introspection and educating myself, but when I was sure of myself, I started my my transition and never regretted it.

          That’s totally fair. It was not my intent to conflate people who aren’t willing/able to take on the burden of living their truth in a hostile society with people who just lack the ability to reflect on their situation, but I can see how you arrived there from my comment and I’m sorry to have put you in that position.

          I realize this maybe reads like some slop-generated apology but I swear that isn’t the case, it’s just my formal writing tone!

      Have never tried the Devil’s Dandruff, but even without access to Party Parmesan I managed to fit 3 of us in a bathtub once, but I’ll grant it was a fairly large tub, and I was mostly bent over the side of it for much of the event. I can’t imagine the times I could have had if I partook in Disco Dust. Man, I really missed in trying out party drugs in my youth. But, at least I don’t have a crippling addiction to Nasal Nectar or something

      I tried, but I couldn’t find a way to fit in even one more term for Sinus Snow, I’ve failed y’all. I probably could have thought of at least 3 more terms for Jazz Powder if I was actually on Mischief Mist, alas, I am not. That’s all I got in me. Goodnight, folks.
