Well, Cygan was wondering why there wasn't one, so I made it. I guess we can talk about queer stuff. :3

Oh, and if you're wondering, non-queer folks are welcome too.

had a moment this weekend where i realized that i now have a handful of friends that never knew me pre-transition.
i'm so used to all my friends knowing me both before and after i came out, because most of my friends are from high school and college, and they helped me through my process of coming out and transitioning.
but i showed one of my newer friends some pre-transition pictures of myself, and their response was "wait, really? wow." and it wasn't until then that it clicked with me that they hadn't really met me until i was already a year into my transition.
its weird that there are people who have only ever known me as a woman, because i'm so not used to it. but it makes me really, really happy.

Also true for general presentation/identity as well.
There's a reason why the Superman and Marilyn Monroe disguises work as well as they do, and it's not because either of them are shapeshifters.
For reference, Superman disguises himself by slouching, and wearing glasses. By comparison, Marilyn Monroe would disguise herself in public with the way that she held herself. One reporter described it as a "transformation" when she changed that to be more like her stage persona.
speaking of hormones, today is officially two years of me being on HRT!
my anniv-her-sary some would say
its incredible how different i look from Day 1 of HRT, or even just a year ago. i look much more confident and happy (and also my hair is really long now ♡♡♡)
"There's not a girl alive who wouldn't be happy being called cute." ~Tamamo-no-Maei was on HRT for three months at the beginning of 2020. during that time i fully socially transitioned. then i lost my HRT because of COVID related shit. i stayed socially transitioned because, once i got past the initial fear and nervousness, it was so much easier than i expected to just go around being a girl. i hadn't had any significant effects from the HRT yet and im still working on getting it back, but ive been living full-time as a girl for the last two years and i don't ever intend to go back.
congrats on figuring it out. if you need to talk to anyone about stuff, feel free to reach out to me; ive been where you are.

We've been drifting aimlessly through this block for a while now so feel free to add us (and Sylvi) to your "people who know shit" collection for reference

Congrats! Here's to a smooth road ahead.
Congratulations Cyto!
Mathematically impossible. But like pi, the extension of the acronym is more a process of discovery than creation and the sequence can be commonly identified by the first few characters for convenience. :P
Considering that π is an irrational number and thus has infinite digits without settling into a repeating pattern, never. Though like how we can approximate π to an increasing amount of precision (currently 100 trillion digits), we can coin new terms to describe the infinite variability of gender, sexuality, and romanticism. Of course we can't reasonably tack all of these onto the LGBT initialism just like it would be unreasonable for the average math textbook to expand π more than a few digits beyond 3.14159…. Unfortunately the LGBT initialism is the umbrella term that has the most traction for various historical reasons; 'queer' is the other most common umbrella term, also contentious for being a reclaimed slurnote
Also cheap alphabet soup jokes were played out a long damn time ago 🙄.
Hmmm. If every gender is assumed to be some combination (or lack thereof) of "male" and/or "female" (or another option altogether), one could technically assume there are infinite genders, because there are infinite percentages of each object that could make up each gender, right?
(This is a joke, don't take me seriously, conservatives of the world)
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

As an aro person, I kinda disagree on your definition of what it means. There are definitely some that feel that way, but the way you worded it makes it sound like a personal choice or decision. For me and others it's uncontrollable just like any other LGBT identity is.
