Can you elaborate on what you mean here?
many people enjoy and actively pursue performing masculinity or femininity
Yeah I think a big part of the issue is that I don't really like either gender expression, at least in more traditional terms. I have work to do learning about non-binary or agender folks, I think. I understand that sexuality and gender are not the same; I just think working through one is making me ask questions about the other. A big part of this is looking to be the task of figuring out what I actually want.
Thanks for the response, everyone here has been incredibly kind.
I see where you are coming from, and I appreciate this explanation. I apologize if that's how I came across. The phrasing was poor and I did not intend to conflate sexual attraction and gender. Two separate things that I am dealing with simultaneously, lol. The one sort of led into the other. I chose the phrasing about penises because I did not want to exclude trans women, but I see how it could be problematic. As Valmond said, it does appear that my attraction seems to be with the penis itself and less with whatever gender has said penis equipped, and I recognize that does not determine or necessarily influence my own gender expression. The internet is a difficult place to have thoughtful conversations, and I really appreciate your well-thought out and helpful response.
Also, as an aside, adhd memes got me to get fucking diagnosed, I feel like egg_irl will serve a similar purpose. Memes are surprisingly helpful.
I'm actually powering through the Gender Dysphoria Bible and egg_irl right now, lol. Talking to a therapist is good advice, honestly. I will make that a priority. Thanks, sincerely.
Earbuds for activity. They cancel out distractions and mostly I'm listening to podcasts.
Open-back headphones for gaming and music listening. High dynamic range and side to side balance is important.
Studio monitors for casual listening or movie watching. Best low end response and can move a lot of air.
No I played the Plus version, it abstracts out the filesystem stuff. The game made it pretty obvious what needed to be done.

To be fair, I also didn't read the description before I played and all to the better. It's okay to be wrong, it means you're learning!
Yeah the 6 prequel stories are cute but $15 is outrageous. I'm sure you can just watch them on youtube.
This has always been my experience, except for one guy, who was great. He unfortunately retired a few years ago. Still working on finding another good one.
