yeah it can be a form of stimming! I am unfortunately also victim to the Pain Stimming. sometimes that's the only way I feel I can get the deep stimulation I need. Occasionally I'll bite my arm, put ice on my skin or run hot water on myself. Or stare directly into a laser from my ceiling projector.

I have a question for those of you who have autism, or just anyone who has insight!

Can causing yourself pain be a form of stimming?

I’m always fidgeting with my hands in ways that hurt myself, for example, digging my nails into my palm. I do this absentmindedly all day, constantly. I need to be doing something with my hands. I thought it was a form of self-harm, but now I’m wondering if I’m just stimming and the sensation I’m seeking out is pain.

I’d love any thoughts anyone at all has on this tbh. I asked my old therapist and he said he’d never even heard of anything like it.

i wish we could share the code of how we define ourselves more publicly (emoji codes and the such) but unfortunately people like to witch hunt. my ideal world is one where anyone can identify as whatever they want, and people who get offended by it are responsible enough to avoid it.

Thank you very much for the definition and info I'll put it in my pinned if ur ok with it! My stance on the topic is that I'm always personally uncomfortable coining things that I haven't experienced personally if there is no definable information on it. I want to avoid potentially misrepresentation at all costs.

I will always coin formally recognized medical disorders, partially recognized medical disorders, but in order for me to coin an MUD, you'll have to give me details and definition so I can use said definition word-for-word, essentially publicizing the term for you on your behalf and perhaps creating a flag if requested. Additionally if I have no information on said former or partial recognized medical disorder, I will need references!

Keeping that in mind, feel free to send requests!!

Hello do you coin muds?

.... Huh? 😅

Sorry, I have no idea what those are. If anybody would like to tell me, I'd be happy to answer!!!

KIN-KID

when you're a kid in the same way your kintype is, e.g you feel more like a pup than a kid because you kin a breed of dog, OR you're a kid/pup because your kintype is a kid/pup (NOT EXCLUSIVE TO CANINES, USING CANINE KIN AS AN EXAMPLE)

HELLO EVERYONE!!! As I have circled BACK into the transx community, I will start posting again and hopefully not get banned. I am here to spread love and likely won't participate in discourse. I'll also be updating my pinned post! Feel free to send in validation requests if you like! This is Seek, signing off 💛

Did you get the dere pride requests?

Well, yes, I did, but that's almost ten different requests. it kind of overwhelmed me... :(

I'm gonna have to decline for now, but I may get around to making one or two of these in the future. Sorry /gen

Transaninoun

A subterm for anyone who identifies as an animal of any sort. This term’s users would prefer that people would use an animal’s or multiple animal’s nouns instead of human ones. 

EG: (Without)

“Did I tell you about my friend Emily? She’s such a nice girl, I just know you guys would get along! She likes to bake too!”

EG: (With)

“Did I tell you about my friend Emily? She’s such a nice cat. I just know you two would get along. She likes to bake too!”

You just explore the concept of what north America calls a friendship between 2 stereotypical straight, non virgin guy friends. From teasing and being real for like five minutes. You dont understand that being a friend is more than what the media says. All jokes aside it's about the little things. Trying new games, enjoying spicy chicken wings, having fun nights out with the boys and sipping bear on the parents rooftop. That's what I'm doing this summer with my legitimately close friends. Whether you want to actually read all this or not. I have a point and a strong one at that.

I did read all this and I'm not sure what you want me to do with this information? I wish I could do the things you're describing with the people I care about though. Covid's a bitch. :(

Ok, I know you are probably busy and have other things to do and other people to talk too. (Haha..unlike me) I have no friends other than you, so you not responding kinda really is hurtful and I’d like it for you to stop. But can we play minecraft? Honestly we haven’t really been talking recently, and I kind of considered blocking you, you know. Unless you want to be minecraft buddies, and maybe we could build a house together and place our beds next to eachother. Haha just kidding! I mean…unless you don’t want it to be a joke…haha

Uhhh idk who this is, I hope I haven't been hurting anyone :( /gen I know I respond kinda late but shoot me a dm and we can 100 percent play minecraft together! Hoping you have Java!

But whoever it is, I'm sorry you feel that way. For my own safety, I have to keep my Discord and Tumblr notifications off but I do respond as soon as I see the messages.

im so tired of scrolling through the transx tag and finding positivity mixed with people telling me I need to... 

ok.  im. im gonna  go  play  minecraft. i’ll be  on tomorrow!  

Hello! I am transmuette (i feel as if i should be mute) and was wondering if i could get an affirmation and/or maybe some advice? I'm currently stuck in an environment that makes it so i can't stop talking right now. (Which means i can't start the transition to stop talking yet) Thank you!

Howdy there anon!

I see where you're coming from :( It's unfair that you're stuck in a situation like yours that prevents you from transitioning into the wonderful and beautiful mute individual that I know you are.

As for transitioning advice, you could try politely informing others on online calls  that you need or would like to use the chat function instead of speaking aloud. 

Hope this helps!

i’m gonna go binge j*m and the h*logr*ms!! (e, o, a)!!

please send in requests so i can coin some stuff when i get back!

im sorry, i've been very confused about the whole thing :( I accept anyone, I just don't want anyone to think they're wrong for being who they are, which is the message I got from the post. I absolutely think you can consider your sexuality whatever you want - I was just afraid of interacting with someone who might be pushing the idea that all sexuality is disordered on others. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding /gen

You should block https://kill-in-your-mouthh.tumblr.com/

They made posts about concidering homosexuality as a mental disorder.

For real?? :(

I actually went in and read its latest posts and you're right, anon. I'll be careful not to interact with it. As open as I am to everything, I don't think any type of sexuality should be considered a disorder. It's just who you are.

Thank you for telling me!

To the people who asked me for transrace flags...

I'm very sorry, but I do want to come clean and say that after trying multiple different palettes, and getting feedback from different people, I have no clue how to finish this or make something for you of my own.

Some things I just can't do, and that's usually why I say I'll try my best instead of making promises, because it's not that I don't think y'all are valid. I believe with my whole heart that all identities are valid, but I just think transrace flags are outside of my capability for now. For starters, being transrace sounds very grand to me - learning about a culture, learning to be one of them, learning their long and storied history, and to be honest, I don't think my simplistic style of flag-making can really capture that.

Secondly, I've lived a lot of marginalized identities. I've coined and gone through countless xenogenders, chronosian/altage/transage terms, been nonhuman for as long as I can remember, but this, along with transplurality, is the one thing I haven't lived. And while you guys have all my support and platonic love, I don't think I can provide flags.

I'm sincerely sorry. So with this, I'll be updating my pinned posts giving the honest truth that I am not able to create transplural or transrace flags.

I want to be albino but I also want to be melanistic, and I feel like shit for it. Bc it makes me feel like a monokuma and Rambo cheap knockoff. (I'm trans albino, trans melanistic, trans vitiligo).any tips?

Hey anon, that sounds like a rough time. I know for a fact though, that you're not a knockoff because people have seemingly contradictory labels all the time, including myself! (as I identify with both horror identities and "cutesy" identities). It's nothing to be ashamed of, I promise ♥ /p /gen

As for tips, nothing in particular for your situation comes to mind, but it might be a good idea to surround yourself with people who feel the same way you do, people who accept you. It's infinitely easier to accept and be welcoming towards others when your brain is being like that, and eventually that pesky little lump just has to accept that your "contradictory" labels are something to be proud of, or at least be acceptable or welcomed.

And for the record, I personally think being both trans albino and trans melanistic sounds super cool and valid /gen
