Yeah, the good thing is that since they're not online or watch english language news, they aren't exposed to that much of the transphobic hysteria, so it could be pretty okay. I'm still a bit wary because I know there was a lot of drama when my aunt came out as gay, but that all happened before I was born and they're reconciled now, so I hope they're more mature now.
coming out stuff
I'm planning to visit my family soon, and I've been thinking about what to do regarding my grandparents. They're old, rural Europeans and I doubt they even know what a trans person is. When I saw them this summer it that was the last time I boymoded, and that just made me feel bad, and I can't just wear a sports bra and a sweater to hide things now, like I could then. What I've decided to so far is to just present fem like I normally do, and if they have questions I'll answer honestly, but I won't have a big coming out moment or be particularly insistent that they gender me correctly (at least for now).
Maybe it's a bit cowardly, but I feel like it's a good compromise so far, not actively hiding who I am, but hopefully not overwhelming them either. They probably won't say anything either way, because they're so ingrained in this annoying cultural idea that asking people anything that could in any way feel uncomfortable for you or for them is better left unsaid in every situation.
uses he/him pronouns
they're
u fucked up 
Was gonna post a devious hot take on the current theory discussion, but realised i have no clue
just respect your fellow trans people or something idk, that's my hot take 
Hate that it feels like you have to walk on eggshells around so many cis people. You never know who is gonna take it as a deep personal insult if you politely request them not to say certain things.

Elves rock actually, those dwarves on the other hand... 
On a more serious note, I've been a fantasy nerd since I was a pre-teens and I always loved elves. Now there are so many different takes on them that it's impossible to say something definite about all of them, but I like the wish fullfilment the Tolkien-esque elves represent. People living in harmony with nature rather than at the expense of it, free from worries of mortality or aging, and able to spend their lives creating beautiful things and focusing on arts and poetry. I definitely get how the video draws a connection to celebrities and ultra-rich people from that, but I like the kind of sadness it implies for a couple reasons. One is that this type of excistence will always be impossible for us (no matter how rich you get), so elves represent something unobtainable we want, and the other is that despite this, elves are still unable to free themselves from human vices like bigotry, jealousy and pride.
Also, to be a little more explicitly positive about elves, one thing outside the scope of this video is gender coding. While fantasy today is a pretty diverse genre, you don't have to go that far back in time before it gets very male-dominated. Elves represent ideals that in our society are heavily connected to feminity. They're elegant, graceful and beautiful, with strong ties to creative arts and spirituality, no matter their gender. In a genre where the common ideals used to be stoic, though warrior-kings and stuff, I think that's cool as hell actually.
The ukraine war makes me question if we live in the same reality sometimes. There's something so existentially horrifying about thousands of people pointlessly dying fighting over some village with 5000 residents in the middle of a bombed out wasteland and this just repeats month after month, but half the people around me talk abut it like it's an exciting sports game.
no
cis women do not have a special magical energy. Sorry if this is harsh, but approaching a woman like they're a regular person won't make you seem like a creep, but thinking about them like this definitely will
I'll probably try to keep calm and just do my next injection next week instead of panicking and trying to compensate. The good thing is I've been planning to move my injections from saturdays back to thursdays so maybe this would be a good opportunity for that.
