MODERATORS
Originally, I was going to make one about "strange" music, but then I realized I can do whatever I want so I'm just going to plug some music I like or find funny. Unfortunately, I'm still a normie ahh scrub who gets all my music from youtube. Though, as a good girl, I'm going to use alternative front-ends to protect your privacy.
I might keep adding more stuff through the week.
Jim E. Brown
The "19-year old alcoholic" from Britain is renowned for his smash hits like I'm quitting prozac to continue drinking and I FIND SEX ABHORENT.
Carlos Ivan
Self proclaimed bard who occasionally does unhinged ASMR. Examples of his work would be his song Slutty Pumpkin or his ASMR Hostage flirts with you during bank robbery (Good lord he has such a sexy voice in that one).
Opeth
Listening to this Band is the closest thing I have to being a "metal fan". All I really know about them is that some of their fans are salty because they stopped being metal like many years ago. Idk about the drama though. Their Blackwater park seems to be the one that fans think is their masterpiece (???). But I like stuff such as Face of Melinda, Harlequin Forest and April Ethereal.
Microtonal Music
They make microtonal and macrotonal music. Such music is characterized by the use of a tonal scale different from the European 12 tones. Long story short, the frequency spectrum can be divided into octaves. By definition, an octave is a factor of 2 difference (so 100 hz is 1 octave below 200 hz). In the European scale, each octave of sound is divided into 12 tones. But you can use more, or less. The most extreme examples I've seen are Fuschiamarine which uses only 7 tone divisions to Desert Island Rain which has 313 divisions! Other stuff from them is Who knows and Zero Nothings, the latter of which is polyrhythmic ((meaning it has multiple rhythms at once) and microtonal (22 tones), thereby causing professional musicians pain and suffering.
There's more musicians out there that do microtonal music (and also the entirety of Africa, Middle East, India, etc).
Maybe I'll put some stuff in the coming days.
Classical Latin covers of Modern songs
Yes, this is a thing. It doesn't need to exist but I'm glad it does. My favs are the cover of Gas Gas Gas and Everyone wants to rule the world. The channel is called the_miracle_aligner and they do other languages as well.
Mushroom plays keyboard
Mushrooms plays keyboard. Pretty baller, don't you think?
I wonder what it's thinking about
spoiler Post-rock
You can tell I'm getting eepy cause I won't even explain what post-rock is. Here's a playlist someone else made. Sorry for my laziness.

Miku covers
We all know what Hatsune Miku is. Funny story, at one point I purchased a miku poster and my Mom really liked it for some reason. It's hanging in her bedroom thousands of kilometers away from my house right now.
Anyway, I like the miku covers of After Dark and Little Dark age. They're both made by astrophysics
Manbo-p
Japanese Songwriter that uses vocaloids for singing. Their songs are always centered around some absurd story and video, but usually contain some sort of interesting message in there. They have so many songs that I like that I'm just going to make a big list. The song titles should give you an idea of the insanity. Be sure to turn on english subtitles!
- A kappa is boiling slugs in my kitchen. A song that can be interpreted to be about loneliness in a "modern" lifestyle.
- Clownish Linda and the sinking planet. I'm not going to explain every song. Go watch it.
- Hey zombie, eat me rather than that meat.
- Proof Geometric Construction Can Solve All Love Affairs. A song about how math nerds are unhinged and insane.
- Sweet float apartment. This is just your average low income housing complex. Also, the songwriter's sister made a cover
- A classy, tactful Fire Extinguisher. Love song between a girl and fire extinguisher.

As things get worked through, you come to having to deal with other aspects of your whole deal. Its rarely linear, its rarely not connected to anything else - why would it be? Youre a person not a series of characteristics
No he wont be upset, especially if thats the compassionate vibe you got. Effective therapy leads to a therapeutic relationship and trust takes time to build. It probably wouldve been more concerning if you knew all your problems and then dumped them on a stranger but at least that stranger would've been a therapist I suppose.
Almost all trans people Ive met, and myself, score highly on ACEs (adverse childhood events). Its not a surprise that you might have some gender thoughts
Ive found reading more has helped me understand myself and fit myself into the context of trans history! And its nice to see weve always been around and the struggle is not new nor is it dead. If youre not up to reading theory, dont. Maybe read a shorter book if you wanna like Beyond Pink or Blue by Feinberg. Theres always videos you can watch too.
I get why people say gender is a performance, but it isnt for me. Gender for me is embodied and instinctual. I don't struggle anymore to do and say and move how I feel is natural now that I'm out and have been on HRT for a while. My sister pointed out that after coming out to her I did way more girly mannerisms but I didnt have to learn or pick them up (besides background noise we all do), I just had to stop holding myself back. Being a man was a performance for me, being a woman just comes naturally.
Im going based on your pronouns here - femininity has a wide basis, there's the hegemonic social definition of tradwife, pretty, young, maternal, maddona-wh*re, etc. But it was never just that, thats the white patriarchal hegemonic distinction used to turn women into free domestic and reproductive labour (reproductive here meaning reproducing class relations and society, which I suppose is a super set of actual biological reproduction lol). Femininity to me is closer to what like the author of Manhunt called it, gentleness and violence and tenderness and self-flagellation. Anyway its a wide enough thing that it can fit a butch and a lipstick femme and theyre both women (if they wanna be).
My gender is something I feel, for me its deeper than performance. And if women ot gender didnt exist I would invent it so I could be a woman
Thank you for your comment and when you lay it out clearly points 1 - 3 especially just seem so obvious, so thanks for putting them up clearly for me to see.
