Ziglin (it/they)

Thank you. I had a feeling I was wrong about that. Couldn’t even think of the word article though so I assumed maybe it was a weird kind of preposition.

Dtf took me a bit, my leading theory for a good 10s was dad to female though.

‘Man’ is often used in the same way as ‘mankind’ which is how I’ve usually seen the quote interpreted. Clearly the preposition ‘a’ makes a very big difference but it still makes sense.

That would explain some of the issues I was having with VRAM.

Dennis nuts in your mouth? Actually I don’t think that’s it…

“I’m calm” is oddly close to “there’s a breeze across my back and I’m confused now”.

I can’t believe it’s not spider mandibles :(

Weheeee

It is indeed just Kelvin, not degrees Kelvin.

And I’m part of the sequel to the gender binary, worst of both worlds! (Still working on the slogan, but you can already get it in early access and we promise to fix all the issues before the full release that will definitely happen any time now)

People keep explaining like it’s a huge surprise.

I think I am technically a physicist so this could be a case of xkcd 2501 but it seems obvious enough.

Surely nobody actually believes that is how it works. I think I understood it that way and was mind blown for like 5min before being sceptical and asking for clarification and still being mind blown by how it was actually meant. I was a child when that happened.

All the adults I’ve spoken to about it learned about it school and understood straight away. That is of course completely biased though.

As @phr@discuss.tchncs.de mentioned friends are generally there for you if you’re going through a crisis. If you can reach out to one or two of your closest friends and just talk to them it can really help. It sounds like you’ve been letting this build up for a while now (even if it is probably not intentional). Just getting it off your chest can be big help too.

If you don’t feel comfortable talking to anyone you already know irl I understand that too and maybe you can try a helpline or similar though I personally had limited success with those. If you just need something easy you can also feel free to DM me on Lemmy and we can schedule a call or something.

If you want some slightly more long term advice this is where I’ll put it: If you think you have the capacities to go to college I can only recommend it, generally everyone is a lot more accepting (at least in the natural sciences) and if you get to move away from your current family that can also be a big positive shift in your life, especially if you end up with good roommates. Colleges also make it a lot easier to get into things like therapy which really helped me when I had problems.

I haven’t proof read this yet but I figured just writing something out would be best. Feel free to ask me questions if you have any, especially if I was unclear.
