Do Not Follow

If you are in this category interacting with my posts or shooting an informative message is fine, but please do not follow.🦑Minors (I respect you, but my blog is not for you and I'd like that boundary to be respected. If you follow, I will softblock. If you interact with an NSFW post I will hardblock. If there is no age in your blog my assumption will be that you are a minor. I have had my blog for a long time, no minor is grandfathered in.)
🦑Blogs which exclusively post porn or kink content. (occasional or even frequent is fine if you post other things just as or more regularly.)

Do Not Interact

I'm really only going to add to this DNI as I have problems in that area, this isn't, nor do I want it to be, a comprehensive list of my stances. If you see an acronym or word that you don't recognize it almost certainly doesn't apply to you.🦑transphobes, transmisogynists, TERFs, radfems, TEHMs, febfems, and gender critical
🦑people who use the terms transandrophobia, antimasculism, transmisandry, and misandry
🦑anyone with a thinspo / proana / weight loss blog, or anyone with their past / current / or goal weight in their blog
🦑people who consciously support the legitimization of and continued existance of settler-colonial states such as the USA, Canada, Australia, and Israel

Extended Sexuality, Gender & Pronouns

Pronouns

I find the topic of pronouns, including neo-pronouns, and self-determination to be fascinating. I am in no way offended if you exclusively want to use "He / Him" pronouns for me, but if you want to get a little funky and playful with language these other three sets of pronouns are one I find personally fun and affirming in their own right! Thanks!🦑He / Him / His / Himself (standard set)
🦑Hy / Hymn / Hys / Hymnself (blasphemy set)
🦑Bro / Bro / Bros / Broself (overcompensating set)
🦑'Ey / 'Em / 'Eir / 'Emself (well-meaning southern Appalachian relative pronouncing they/them set)
Please never use "She / Her" for me and please reserve "They / Them" only for when you are referring to me in the context of collectives (such as me and my system, or me and my partner.) Because my pronouns are so clear in my bio and my carrd I will expect you to use my pronouns and not default to "They / Them" in online contexts.

Gender

🦑I am functionally a trans man in the sense that I identify myself to others as male, I want to be seen and treated by others as male, and in the sense that my gendered experiences at this point largely align with those who call themselves trans men.
🦑That being said, when I am alone and unconcerned with how others perceive me, I do connect with the concept of being nonbinary. In one sense I am internally both male and female out of both opulence and also a nuanced experience that my transness and understanding of it offers me. In another sense I am internally unable to be either male or female due the disconnection my transness, sexuality, neurodivergence, and trauma has imposed on me in the ability to identify with others in multiple aspects, not limited to, but including gender.
🦑I'm also just a man.
🦑I am unable to transition medically due to medical issues, but that doesn't indicate a lack of dysphoria or desire to pursue testosterone and gender affirming surgery. In fact, it is quite the opposite.

Sexual & Relational Orientations

🦑Bisexual (I am indicating a draw towards all genders.)
🦑T4T (In preference and practice but I'm technically "open to cis people".)
🦑Polyamorous
🦑Partnered
🦑Submissive

Brain and Body

Some of these are professionally diagnosed, others are professionally recognized, others come from years work of personal research and are self-diagnosed. I'm honestly not going to tell you which of these fit in which category, and that is not a challenge to guess either. Self diagnosis is a nuanced and complex issue not helped by our flawed psychiatric model, medical institutions, and material realities, that I am therefore neither for nor against as a practice.

Religion

🦑At this point in my life it frees me to interact with religion without an emphasis on personal belief. Because I struggle with self-doubt and intrusive thoughts, I believe religion should say more about the framework through which you view the world, the practices you choose to engage in, and how you engage with and identify within the context of varying religious communities, than whether or not you have "faith" or "belief" moment to moment.
🦑This is not to say that I practice things which I don't believe in, but rather that belief as a pre-requisite to partake in that religion and it's practices is at least in part a Christian construct.
🦑I may be an atheist, I may not be; the distinction doesn't matter to me.
🦑(This does not mean that I do not understand or disagree with the concept of closed practices.)
🦑I was raised Christian, and therefore it will always impact my world views and framework whether I like it or not. I was very religious and Christian most of my life. That being said, I do not interact with the world as a praciticing Christian today.
🦑I am an "exvangelical" / "deconstructor", or more blatantly, a "non-believer".
🦑I have substantial interest in Christianity's history, mythology, and theology, but I myself am opposed to evangelicalism as a concept and practice.
🦑I am not anti-theist.
🦑I am a casual practitioner of Witchcraft and Hellenistic Paganism.
🦑I largely focus my worship and veneration towards Dionysos and Proteus.
🦑I do not identify with the Wiccan practice.

Personality

I have decided not to include the Meyer's-Brigg's Type Indicator model in this list due to my personal discomfort with it's partial roots in eugenics.

Kin

Okay, so I don't actually identify as otherkin anymore, but as a teenager it was really important to me, at this age I still like to keep lists, and honesty a better shorthand for "wow this silly thing helps me conceptualize the self" hasn't entered the scene yet. So, yeah I don't interact with these characters and media any longer as though I spiritually was or am them, but it's still fun.This is an unholy mishmash of characters I have actively had delusions around at some point and others I just vibe with and like to analyze through a personal lens.
