Courtney (she/her/they)

Hello lovelies, I am a (trans)Woman who is still in the process of discovering herself!

I have been working up the courage to be who I am for so long, I am excited to be figuring things out.

Pre-HRT, pre-fashion-sense, and pre-confidence.

Any and all tips and advice from more experienced women are welcome!

  • Even the worst, most pollution inducing motorcycle on the planet doesn’t hold a candle to my 90s truck.

    Hell, even most modern trucks are better despite being massive, considering the improvements to fuel efficiency and such…

    Arguing a motorcycle is worse because one specific area of its carbon footprint is slightly higher than cars depending on model of both is weird to me.

    And I don’t remember the last time I saw a motorcycle without the obvious cat hugging the engine before it winds to the muffler. Note: usually the motorcycles I get to see close are people who are more environment conscious than your average redneck. I’m sure the shop down the road specializes in removing them. I KNOW they offer “diesel tuning services” to let people “roll coal” so it wouldn’t surprise me…




  • It’s been a while since I watched the movie but I never got the impression that her father needed extra caring for. He fell ill towards the middle of the movie but was healthy in the beginning IIRC.

    Our introduction to him is an invention backfiring and harming him non life threateningly.

    I get the impression that without Belle to mind him, he would be dead from an invention that went too wrong, though it is not explicitly stated.

    He falls ill after the townsfolk imprison him without heat in winter. Their excuse for locking him up is “he’s crazy” when he tells them of the castle and it’s inhabitants.





  • That’s awesome! It’s always a great feeling, especially spontaneously!

    So far the only person to initially correctly gender me in person was a little girl who saw me wearing a pair of demon horns and a skirt at an event and yelled “Mommy I love her costume!” it wasn’t a costume, just themed headwear lol

    I’ve had plenty of Ohio republicans loudly and pointedly call me SIR though.

    Nobody who asks me for pronouns has ever misgendered me though.




  • I have a couple friends who have issues with making their food. Idk how many times I’ve been talking to one, they mention feeling like shit, and I asks aht the last thing they ate was and it’s some shit like “I had a coffee yesterday around 2pm”

    So now, since I love cooking but hate all the prep and cleanup, I have them buy the ingredients the day before I plan on coming over, then I spend the day making meals for the next week and a half. It all has to be able to heat in one container, preferably the container it’s stored in to assist with ease of heating.

    It’s still a toss up, but now at least when they hit a wall they can grab a box out of the fridge instead of sitting paralyzed trying to figure out what to eat or deciding to just stay hungry

    I also have to label the meals with binary choices. Things like “LUNCH MONDAY OR DINNER WEDNESDAY” so they have variety and an option for if they don’t want a specific one right now. Otherwise it’s “too many options” and instead of just grabbing whatever, they close the freezer/fridge.






  • Humanity created everything that led to its destruction.

    The message was clear in the first movie. We didn’t need to see “Han shot first” or “Han shot in self defense after changes to the story came about years later”.

    Although in no way will I be complaining about more matrix, bring me more matrix history, animated or live action! I just think the message doesn’t change whether humans shot first or not. We created the circumstances, our downfall was our own making.
