Exclamation BOARDER FKA TYLER DEMANDS YOUR ATTENTION ONCE MORE; OR, ALICE'S COMING OUT THREAD

So I'm gonna do the thing. Talking about it has felt pretty great and I've always wanted to do a question thread so ask some if you like. Pls consider being nice. Alternatively, say something hurtful to prepare me for what's to come. It's up to you! I'm going to post like an actual person in this thread and there will probably be no songs

There's a chance I'm going to hurt you in this thread.

We may get into it about the best variety of olive and I don't know how tolerant I'll be of a position that isn't kalamata.

I think all of us will be supportive and anyone who isn't will be dealt with by the mods.

I hope this has helped you feel more comfortable with yourself and that you are receiving the support you need. There will unfortunately be many who will not give you the respect you deserve. Make sure you have a support network in place to help you through this. That support network includes yourself. It will be difficult but I know you can do it.

A small town in the Carolinas at the moment. It’s a bit of a long story but I ended up having to spend about a year down here saving up some money to get back to Chicago. I was supposed to move at the end of May and had planned to get a job at a bar but, well

Seems like there’s at least a chance I wouldn’t be posting in this thread had things worked out as planned though so I suppose it’s not all bad

Beautifully the same. Let me know if you're ever visiting! I'm proud of your courage and know you've got the spirit to really rejoice in your rebirth. I'm always here for any extra support. And I'm totally in love with your name! Really brings the whimsy.

I certainly will. I do hope to be back to visit someday. I regret that my route out of the state didn’t take me closer to where you are. Maybe if I’d visited anyway I’d have avoided the car accident...

And thanks! I really appreciate that. I’m sure I’ll definitely find myself needing support. I thought about names for a while and once I finally landed on this one I couldn’t believe I didn’t think of it sooner. I never hated my old name but I never liked hearing it like I do this one

I'm not sure what advice you need. But if you need someone to chat with who has been there to you can PM me.

To be fair that might just be my own thing. I didn’t know anything about you

Thanks for asking this. It’s a stylistic tendency I’ve borrowed from one of my favorite women and artists. She’s been an incredible source of strength, inspiration, and catharsis for me. She’s also been a big part of the experience of reclaiming my power and learning to accept who I am. I’ve never heard her explain why she does it but I know why it appeals to me.

Primarily, I’d guess, because of the conditions of my upbringing, I’ve developed a tendency to hide myself and try to go unnoticed for fear of incurring violence or hostility. It’s a big part of why it took me so long to admit to my sexuality and gender identity. It’s a pretty terrible and unfortunate way to live. So the all caps thing feels like a subtle way of breaking that habit, taking up space, and yes, demanding to be seen

Thanks! This is the outcome I was not so subtly hoping for so I appreciate it. By the way you were one of the first examples of someone going through this process that I was aware of so thanks for being open and sharing your experiences here and helping me realize that despite my anxiety around it this has gone well for others and it can go well for me too

Yeah, my “intent” was genuine and non judgmental , I was just working out what the situation was.
