I’m here to explore gender, looking for affirmative community to be honest with.

Direct message

Is there any difference between vger.app the website and the android app? I’m just using the website version which is great, but perhaps there’s advantage to the app?

Right Thanks. So I think php might queue then forget some requests, because I’ve had this behaviour without too much traffic. I just don’t know how to reproduce it, but maybe I’ll try with that listen backlog setting, thanks for tip.

Believing in a binary is ignoring factual reality. It would be like saying we shouldn’t believe in carbon or oxygen in the universe because 99.8 percent of all elements are either hydrogen or helium.

love this!

Started seeing a counsellor to help me process stuff. Feels more productive than calling Samaritans again, but it’s good they are there, v grateful. Being genderfluid is tiring because one moment I know what I want, clear as day, the next I don’t feel it.

Extracts from 2nd link that stood out to me

most evidence to date reveals a much larger contribution of sex-related hormones compared to sex-related genes to the sexual differentiation of the rodent brain and behavior

studies revealed that feminization and masculinization are independent processes rather than two poles of a continuum

And adding to the first link:

[brains whose features align clearly at either male or female end are] low (0% to 8%) and much lower than the number of mosaic brains (23% to 53%), that is, brains in which at least one feature was at the “femaleend” zone and one feature was at the “male-end” zone…

analyses [of MRIs of more than 1,400 human brains from four datasets] of internal consistency reveal that brains with features that are consistently at one end of the “maleness-femaleness” continuum are rare.

Love this statement.💜

Yes of course it is. But thanks for the links, will read.

I’m not presenting anything absolute or probably new. Just a personal take on a correlation between where my gender is and how strongly I feel it, at the different points of my fluidity.

Yup! I considered drawing a locus but decided that a line said enough.

It’s been a useful realisation for me that while my gender fluctuates, I feel it less when I’m feeling towards the male side.
