well a bad man like meaning badass so let's suspect he's absolutely roided and ripped and hairy and then he puts a dress on and it probably tears up and looks hella ratchet. thats the impression i got.

Exactly this haha.

please explain what you mean by looking "unfeminine" and "looking like a bad trans man in a dress." if you could kindly

Well if you think Ru Paul then that's not what I mean bc those guys are super sexy in what they wear and a lot better than me at fashion.

Whether you agree with society's perspective on what "femanine" is or not that doesn't change it's definition. Small dresses are made to fit women with no musculature and match up with small feet in small shoes and ott make-up. So when one tries to fit a dress with muscular arms and shoulders and shoes with wide, un-crumpled feet it can be very difficult.

cant help but feel thats still a bit transmisogynistic 😰

Only if that's the way you choose to take it. Plus I didn't mean transgender I meant transvestite hence "trans man" meaning "transvestite who identifies as a man".

generally i don't mind too much if someone's just looks for a couple of seconds or so but it gets uncomfortable when men who are at least 20 years older stick a head out of the car to look at you and wink and raise their eyebrows like that is very very weird and uncomfortable but i don't mind if people just look.

This. I dress as androgynously as possible at work because of this. Old men who will shamelessly crane their necks to eye us up and down while we're sweatily working away. I'm a pet shop sales assistant, I couldn't look sexy if I tried, which makes the comments and ogling even creepier. What's worse is we have to serve these people with a smile rather than dropping that 20kg box of dog biscuits on them from the overstocks. V_V;

Had to buy a dress and heels for boyfriend's graduation but I am the most un-feminine female in the world and normally look like a bad trans man in a dress. Like I'm not even kidding, I know trans men who can pull off women's clothes better than me. BUT all this not being able to eat means I can apparently pull off a skin-tight dress and I even found some shoes so omg I did so well for myself ;^; and I look like a lady.

I finished tubing up my spider collection in ethanol and managed to ID 9 of them. I've learnt loads about how to treat them and study them in the past coue of days!

<3 spiders

You can have one of my stones to make up for it if you'd like??? ^^;

Please may I have one, too?

This not being able to eat is really starting to get me down. That and the unknowingness of why my GI tract hurts so much. I had to cancel eating in a restaurant for my birthday with my superficial family because they want me to go to a restaurant where the only things on the menu I can eat are bean casserole or omelette. All because they're fussy in their own ways and don't want to eat where I physically can. It's not like it's my birthday or anything..? Maybe I don't want to be in pain on my birthday?

So I finally (after 3 months) got my NHS ultrasound scan today and it turns out there's nothing wrong with my insides. So my gall stones are non-existsant... Except I still have acute pains under my ribcage, which is preventing me from eating and causing me to lose weight... And the doctors have no clue what it is because I'm "too young and thin" to have health problems. And I'd cheer myself up with ice cream but it gives me GI pain so I can't even.

[Dragonvale]

At the moment I pretty much just play Dragonvale because I love farming dragons >_> It's such a time waster, I love it. I'm a high enough level that all I'm doing is spending maybe 15 minutes a day trying to breed rare and limited edition dragons...

During uni I play more games in lectures tho <_< I finished Mola! Mola! during my exams... Again, an addictive time waster! I just kept tapping the screen to grow my mola while I revised so I finished it pretty quickly. If anyone hasn't played it, I found it pretty humorous as your mola tries it's best to kill itself throughout the game for really silly reasons.

I was also playing Bread Kittens during exam time, which is basically just Pokemon but you throw bread at cats to catch them :B

I went into uni today and started prepping for my taxonomic collection on Araneae. They're a lot harder to ID than I'd expected (I'm referring specifically to house spiders, of which there are several species in a similar looking genus) but I managed to get 4 down to species level. Spiders really do look amazing under a microscope! There's so much to them that you just can't see with the naked eye <3

Poor image quality ino but that's the best one I have from riding the other day lol
I'm just so psyched to be back in the saddle since I was a teenager.

Opening Pokemon Yellow on my 10th birthday. I felt like my destiny was to be a Pokemon master. I didn't put that game down until Gold and Silver came out.

you can get vegetarian imitation meat
i actually prefer vegetarian meat im just not committed to the cause at all im weak

This. I eat a lot of imitation meat, not as a meat replacement, but because I genuinely like it. I'll eat Quorn sausages as a snack, I love them :B
I'm too weak to come off meat altogether though, especially as I'm dairy intolerant and can't digest fats it's sometimes hard to find anything to eat while I'm out. I have a lot of respect to people who can go total vegan and live like that.

I've booked myself some time in the undergrad labs at uni to prepare my Araneae taxonomic collection. Took a while for the lab tech to get back to me but I'm sorted now, with a microscope to take photos, ethanol and everything. Whooo.

Your buddy list is currently empty

I didn't even know it existed tbh. I'm going to make you all my buddies <3

My skin is 50 shades of hashtagwhitegirlproblems right now.

Also I'm 5'7" and it is a happy height, I can tell you.

I study Zoology, first year has been general life sciences with biochemistry and cell biology and stuff like that but next year get to do more interesting modules like animal physiology and animal diversity.

Aw man, really? No diversity? We had diversity in first year and we're covering more specifics second and third. I get a trip to Ireland and Africa, too

So I'm studying biology but I'm kinda doing the splits between genetics and conservation biology/ ecology. I plan just to do a Pocahontas and see where the wind takes me~

I'm hoping to do Creative Writing. A few University courses for that do see pretty cool, like UEA's course. The problem with UEA is that the grades to get in are AAA. Otherwise, Keele and Chester seem to do it too...but they're a little too close to me for my liking.

Come to UEA. It's the best because I'm there. I've heard a lot of good things about their creative courses so I'm not surprised it's AAA.

i booked a drs appointment on my own for the first time! i was really nervous and aided by the nhs website i freaked myself out but the receptionist was lovely and I'm Okay

I know you did this 25years ago now but if you're anything like me well bloody done! People don't get how terrifying doctors and dentists are to some of us.

I have made no accomplishments today because I am a failure. I did manage to strap a go pro to my cat yesterday tho!
