chat how tf do I find casual sex???
I have a sorta partner but they're six hours away minimum. I could take the drive but with the condition my brakes are in, that's spooky. How do I find people on apps that just wanna hook up without getting my kidneys stolen or getting hate crimed??
I also don't really wanna fuck any of my current friends so that's pretty out of the question.
k its done what now
::: spoiler relationship shit I'm 99% breaking up with my long term gf.
Tonight.
Been a long time coming, i just need to actualize it.
On the other hand I started seriously talking online to this enby that's been super cool and has the same kind of adhd and autism as me and it's been crazy fun. We've known each other for a year but recently got super into things together in the last month.
I'm trying not to conflate the two events, but being around this new person has made me realize how stagnant my relationship got and how important queerness is to me in relationships, platonic or otherwise. I also realized how my gf is still kinda seeing me the same way she's always seen me even if she's been supportive to my transition, whereas this new person treats me... like a woman? idk it's different for sure. I don't know where things are going with this new person but they're super flirty with me and me with them. We're both poly (though my relationship wasn't so I've even monog in practice) and things have been freeing hearing about them and their experiences. We're kinda sorta making plans to meet up later this year or next and I'm almost in disbelief that this is happening so fast and they are as well.
idk im scared and excited and nervous and
OH!!!! THATS HUGE I KNOW THAT PLACE
wb, you're cool and your absence was noticed /gen
Had the same thing and woke up crying for no discernable reason lmao
spoilers for D, B ending
At the very least in the case of D, B the ending can be seen as tenuously optimistic imo. The meat of the story definitely isn't though so I can't call it a positive story as a whole.
Definitely get what you mean. It's fortunate that smaller/more obscure writers are writing stories of trans joy, im just still searching for the mythical mainstream trans joy tale.
Finished up Detransition, Baby and holy shit is that book heavy. It has such an intimate (in my opinion) understanding of trans women and how we see the world, our communities, and gender, and it really pays off in the text.
Torrey Peters seems to have a gift when it comes to writing scenes that engross you and make you empathize with the characters. The scene at the climax of the story had me emotionally, psychologically, and physically distressed and dysphoric because of how it depicts a certain character grappling with the physicality of our bodies in the middle of a heated moment.
I didn't expect a book about adults in their 30s having a baby to have so many twists and turns, it felt like I was watching a drama at times and I really hope the adaptation eventually comes out and does the book justice.
I want to recommend this book but the list of content warnings ((domestic) violence, transphobia, self harm, sexually explicit passages) probably means I'll only recommend it with the caveat that it's triggering if you're sensitive to the content.
I love me some messy trans women (Maria Griffiths my beloved) and this book really hit the mark. Overall I love this book and it's probably in my top 3 of all time and not just as trans literature.
Yeah I'd say it's had a lot of sad parts so far. I haven't gotten to the end yet so i can't really say if it's a happy/sad story overall tho
It's pretty good so far; like the other commenter said, Torri Peters is trans herself. This really shows in the text imo as there's too much intimate knowledge in regards to the thought processes and motivations of trans women when it comes to gender relations and relationships.
The CWs are mainly there for how graphic the book can be with violence, sex, and (trans)misogyny but at it's core the book is a romance of sorts.
To me, so far, the book feels like as if I was reading a story that starts after what would be a bittersweet ending to a coming of age story. Like a "What happens next?" to a hypothetical trans romance that left you feeling hollow.
oh my gods i did not expect Detransion, Baby to be so unabashedly horny and raw. I read content warnings beforehand but I wasn't expecting this
the universe threw me a curveball and hit me with a NOT-CURRENT friend from before transition. weird how that works.
