“I don't know what drives them to participate” Do you not consider your going there participation? Why are you participating?

Yeah, I’m mostly taking the approach of adding things as I need them.

Didn’t know if there was anything worth looking into that I might not be on my radar as someone new to emacs.

I live my life mired in nuance. So much is in the realm of “not enough data to reach a conclusion” and so many people act as though it’s a matter of fact. And yet my thinking is considered wrong for not accepting extrapolations of incomplete data that feels unjustified by “this is how it works”.

Much like in this example: yes the DSM states black and white thinking is a problem for autistic people, while also being biased to not diagnosing people that lack this issue.

Feels ironic that the mental health field often gets hung up treating people as a member of category rather than individuals with room to be exceptional from the accepted mode of thinking for the category.

Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood. Been on a rewatch of the series. It’s not good, but it was fun. I think it may actually be the installment I watched most as a child because we had it on VHS.

Piercings and nail polish really are so excepted now for men by the general public, that it is super easy to get away with that.

Shaving was a huuuuuuuuuuuuge step for me, as my facial hair was a masculinity mask of sorts. NGL, I cried through it. I wish I could snap my fingers and switch between not/having a full beard again.

I did a similar thing with slow transition with doing more femme presentation. Would love to hear how things have gone since so much can happen in the span of months, ie how long it’s been since this was first posted
