What I mean when I do not control the hyperfixation.
I think what a lot of people need to realize is that male and female are just a collection of traits typically found together, and they need to TRULY realize and internalize it, not just say it like a cute lil slogan they don't actually believe
Even amongst completely perisex, cisgender, there will be differences from the typical idea of male/female sexual dimorphism
cis-perisex males will, generally speaking, be taller than cis-perisex females, yet in my lifetime, I have met TONS of cis-perisex women who are sognificantly taller than their male peers, similarly, I have met plenty of cis-perisex men who have a more "feminine" fat distribution.
There is no real way to define 'female' or 'male' in a way that does not exclude someone, even among cis perisex people.
This is why I as a trans person refuse to answer people when they come up to me with the whole "what is a woman" bullshit, not only because it is never asked in good faith, but because anything other than; "it can't be truly defined, the only way to tell if someone is a woman is if they tell you" will exclude someone.
(I'd also like to add that this does not mean being a woman has no meaning, simply that what it means to be a woman depends on the person defining it for themselves :))
great ask!
human biology really does whatever, especially when it comes to biological sex. hormones will do whatever they want. the body will grow whatever tissues it wants, store fat wherever it wants, and make your voice sound however it wants. it doesn't matter what gender you were assigned on paper. it doesn't matter what body parts you have half the time. so much of what makes us look like ourselves goes on completely under the hood
biological sex is not a binary. the sooner people catch on to this, the better. it really is this simple. bodies do not come in strict "male" and "female" packages. they're constellations of traits that may or may not exist within a person's body. you are not in control of what your hormones and reproductive health system do. this leads to a lot of different possible combinations of body types and appearances. we really need to embrace this. it's not a scary thing.
it's beautiful. the diversity in human biological sex is wonderful; our bodies can grow in so many unique ways, we should celebrate this!
“There are no female aliens in our game because we don’t know how to make a female version of this alien” You know that alien you just designed? That male alien? Give it a female voice actor and have characters refer to it as she. That’s it. That’s literally all you have to do
Make her shorter if you must
Make her BIGGER if you aren’t a coward
here have some more of those silly goobers it's on the house

This is so true. I had a REALLY bad phone addiction & was unable to watch TV at all. Now i can watch multiple 45 min star trek episodes (they're low stimulation to me) in a row without it feeling boring or exhausting. We have to train our brains.
Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free
Biologist here, it depends on HOW her hair works.
Does it still actively use the light as its power comes from the sun? And if yes, does the haircolor affect the absorbation of the light?Or is it only important that the hair isnt damaged/destroyed.
Lets just assume it can repair itself to a degree (otherwise stuff like split ends wouldve ended it long ago). How far can that go? Cutting seems to destroy it, so lets assume that for some reason, the hairs act like one big cell that gets destroyed by cutting.
Small attacks to its outer side will propably be able to be repaired, however damage that is done on wide areas will propably not be tolerated.
This brings me to the conclusion that stuff like bleach will destroy her power because of the structural destruction. Same goes for perms.
However, if it is true that the hair does not need to actively use the sun, semi permanent hairdye shouldnt be a problem and permanent hairdye could also be fine as long as youre careful and make sure the damage isnt too intense.
Having my nightly ADHD moment so bear with me:
If Rapunzel were to dye her hair, would the chemicals affect the magical properties of her hair?
This is taking into account the fact that her magic derives from the sun essentially, which then becomes a flower. Taking those chemicals into account, if we were to interact those chemicals with the chemicals of hair dye combined with hair as is, I’m just wondering what the effects would be.
I’m no chemist; in fact I almost failed chemistry. So if someone who knows chemistry could help me out here that’d be great!
EDIT: my discord friends are bringing up great points such as hair damage and how it varies.
first day on tumblr, have already seen dick against my will
Happy aniversary you dumb fucks @staff
There's no "wrong" way to live YOUR life! The only important thing is that you are happy.
Can we stop using "still lives with their parents" or "unemployed" or "doesn't have a drivers license" or "didn't graduate high school" as an insult or evidence that someone is a bad person? Struggling with independence or meeting milestones is not a moral failing.
I look at this one uh from time to time -
