Been Seeing Some Reviews Calling New WoF Guidebook Disappointing, But I Thought It Was Really Cute. I

I’m a cis-gender man which basically means that, when I was born, the doctor went “It’s a boy!” and when I was old enough to understand I agreed with him.

The thing is, I don’t know why I feel like a man.  I was teased and bullied for it a lot when I was little.  I’ve never had stereotypically American male interests.  I never cared about sports or cars or guns.  I was more interested in music and cooking and the arts.  I’ve always been emotionally in tune and sensitive, even when I did my best to suppress my emotions to survive a childhood of abuse from other children.

It’s not physical either.  I don’t feel like a man because I have a penis or a beard.  If you put my brain in a robot body or any other body, my essence would still feel male (I assume).  I literally can’t imagine what being any other gender would feel like, since I feel so acutely male.

I think that’s why the concept of being transgender always made sense to me.  I’m a man.  I don’t have any bloody clue why I feel like a man, but I don’t feel that it’s tied to my body or my interests or the way that I’ve been treated.  I feel like a man because of something beyond that.  Something ephemeral.  So, why couldn’t others feel the same?  Why couldn’t a person who’s been misidentified as a girl feel like a boy for the exact same nebulous reasons that I do?

And, since gender really doesn’t make any sense to me anyway, why couldn’t there also be people who feel as if they don’t have one?  Or who flow across genders like a ship on a map?

Are there people out there whose sense of their own gender is inseparable from their physical form?  If you put those people into robot bodies or, simply, other physically different bodies, would their gender identity also swap?  If so, why?  Are they actually more lost in their gender identity than I am and they need to hone in on the physical in order to anchor themselves?

Why do people feel like they are the gender that they are?

Horizonshine lives to run.

Working as a Brookclan courier, Horizonshine finds their purpose in racing across the mountains and joining the distant cats of the bay clans together. In the constantly changing landscape of the Alaskan wilderness, their job represents stability, knowing there will always be another package to carry, another report to send, another task to run to. With every new day, the young cat charges forward, eager to forge connections in her community.

But old connections are racing up to meet her, and when cosmic forces set paw in the mortal realm, the troubled courier suddenly finds herself with a message she can’t seem to deliver, and a past she can no longer run from.

ABOUT THE BLOG!

(main is @aposterous)

This blog is for reblogging and possibly for putting my thoughts out there (because we really need more opinions floating around on the internet /s), so that my main account doesn't look like the bottom of a junk drawer.

CONTENT WARNING: this acc is also for reblogging art that I can't put on my main page, so there's going to be some blood, gore and other heavy themes! I also might swear here so idk, if that bothers you then proceed with caution. There will be no NSFW, though, because I'm a minor and stuff.

We ask your questions so you don’t have to! Submit your questions to have them posted anonymously as polls.

tumblr just deleted a huge swathe of palestinians who were on here trying to fundraise. if you've been helping any of these fundraisers please take this time to 1) check in with palestinians you're in contact with 2) help them submit support requests if needed 3) keep these campaigns circulating while the beneficiaries are being silenced. these campaigns are life or death, this isn't just social networking. do not let these fundraisers languish.
