Aw, who am I kidding. I'd never let me into such a group, either.

Hi! I'm Phorm, and I'm a Vixdjinn!

I'm a genie girl, who really likes being a genie, and really likes everything about genies (really)! I'm a bit confused, lost, and trying to find my way, but I always enjoy interacting with folks here. (Trans🏳️⚧️, occasionally NSFW, Be 18+ or please be gone.)

(noting but not enumerating my usual family of objections to the above)

yes, of course! metaphorically, some kind of narrow or constricted opening through which all recruits must pass, like some kind of...
You know, a part of me wants to lambaste you for taking this and turning it around on me in a comical fashion.
But you've heard this song and dance from me a billion times over, and the fact that you're still engaging with me is kind of incredible, so I have to give some respect.
Also, that's pretty legitimately funny and heartwarming. So points for you. <3
I think it's really tricky when you've spent your life as an outsider to come across a community that is like "we are outsiders together".
It immediately activates the fight or flight instinct.
But I think it's welcoming for some people and I'm glad they can partake.
Mais non.
That's a really fair point, honestly.
As someone who's been a reject her entire life, I see that and I think "Wow, even the other outcasts don't want me". But it's probably the fight or flight response you're discussing, for sure.
I don't begrudge anyone the comfort or the communities they've found.
I just kinda wish I had any of it, and I get real loud about that. I apologize.
Oh no, I one hundred percent get this. I think everyone's had the experience of being on the periphery of a group where it looks like it would be good for them, but for personal or inter-personal reasons, they can't. You don't want to risk feeling rejected and hurt.
I think it's really difficult because it's something that grew out of one person's feelings on the world and life and hateful institutions and she welcomed others to play in that space and something intimate has become a shared, malleable identity. That's not without complications.
You know I hadn't ever considered it that way? As someone who (foolishly) considered herself an author, I will confess that my writing is deeply person. I hadn't ever considered the impact it might have on someone, to have such an intimate part of themselves now belong to so many other people simultaneously. It can change and morph beyond her intent, to say the least.
I'm a big fan of non-secret renegade collectives that aren't exclusive and are easy to get into and hard to get kicked out of. Sounds more fun honestly ^u^
