Bound to seek recognition of its own existence in categories, terms, and names that are not of its own making, the subject seeks the sign of its own existence outside itself, in a discourse that is at once dominant and indifferent. Social categories signify subordination and existence at once. In other words, within subjection the price of existence is subordination.

Guess I need to try Ultrakill

[–] burido@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's one of a kind I've heard

It's a hybrid of a boomer shooter (Doom, Quake), a movement shooter (something like Neon White), and honestly a spectacle fighter (Devil May Cry). Great game.

I'm extremely early in my transition, but I can already feel the conflicting split:

Pink and frills and girlishness, feel freeing, and safe, and comfy, and I love them.

And at the same time, I can see little flashes of "my style", things that I like more than pink and frills, but that are at the same time, scarier, and less coherent, and I don't actually know what you really do with them.

Both parts are really important, I think. Maybe the stereotype is more about healing, a safe stop when you don't know where to take yourself, with your newfound freedom.

Maybe your style comes later, as you grow into it. Maybe someone's style just really goes deeper into the stereotype, that's cool too!

It's so hard to put into words the idea of "You no longer have to struggle with limiting yourself, just do whatever" (a negative act, an absence of an action), when "Finding yourself/your style" is usually framed as a thing you Do (a positive act, an active attempt)

I'm about 3 months into E. I can tell that once my body presents more femme, I'll probably start dressing a little less "girly," but for now pink and frilly helps me not get clocked.

I think as a femboy I'm just not trans enough to like femtanyl. I've given them a couple of tries but it just feels too much like noise.

Also I know it's more a meme than a truth but please drink water :3 I know the monster energy is tempting and I'm not going to try and argue against you drinking it but please please please you need water too honey.

What’s the shark for? I’ve not been able to figure that out and it seems to pop up from time to time.

Blåhaj. It's a blue pink and white plush shark from IKEA that trans people have claimed as ours.

Thanks! I would have never guessed that.

i don't get it either but it's a big plushie basically and many people seem to like that.

me except i haven't played ultrakill yet, i avoid caffeine, i've not listened to femtanyl, and i don't have thigh-highs yet...

so not me i guess. i'm still working on it :3
