Is it? Because I’m a transwoman and my levels are all within cis woman ranges for going on a decade now, yet I’m basically full-time Chandra, Awakened Inferno unless it’s subzero temps outside.

If I could go back and talk to a younger me at the start of her transition, we’d talk about how this is the chance to ACTUALLY learn about myself and to really take time and care to not sweat the details or get stuck in a rut. Try everything and figure out what’s actually you and what is just some baggage or ideal you’re trying to live up to. Don’t be afraid to say yes. Also, don’t be afraid to say no. Keep both open as your options for everything: clothing styles, makeup (if you wanna), hair stuff, sexuality and attraction, etc.

To be clear, I still feel like I managed my way through it and found my way to a rough approximation of what’s right for me eventually, but I was often too hard on myself and placed restrictions where there really weren’t any beyond what I was enforcing on myself. It really is Puberty 2 in so many ways, and you really need to lean into the lessons about how much any of it actually matters from Puberty 1… if at all possible.

Right? I was all about this energy, and then you had to go and ruin it with that.

Ye cannot get ye flask.

Ooof. That sucks so bad for a secondary that needs every player it has to be out there playing at a high level.

I guess, if you’re playing the Jets, just throw the ball and try to outscore Rodgers and that offense.

I think part of what we’re seeing is that it’s the off-season. Even on reddit, most of the NFL content right now is of the “If your team was a soup, what soup would it be and why?” type. The content and activity will come as we near the season start.
