    this is such whiplash

    i wish i could geek out and go back to being a mid 2010s closeted trans and unleash my kerbal fueled special spaceflight interest again.

    that me would be so into this mission i would be excited about every tiny detail catgirl-cry

      You probably can unleash your special interest again without denying yourself.

      I’m not trans (I think), but I do hyperfixate (probably on the spectrum, a shrink even said so but he wasn’t abilitated to do an official diagnosis), and I feel like one of the good things about hyperfixations is how they’re things outside of yourself, and how you feel about them isn’t too affected by how you feel about yourself or your immediate surrounding. I feel if I became a girl, my interest for my hyperfixations, including past ones would be one of the most consistent things about me, I wouldn’t feel the need to change or deny them even as I’d change everything else.

      Sorry if my experience isn’t relevant tho, I may not understand every trans issue.
