i'm starting to realize more and more how valuable it is for trans women to be open about their sexuality on the internet, especially when they (we) experience it in a weird and strange way. I've seen this shift on Tumblr and i've become more active in the discord server of a transfemme-focused porn game and it's been really affirming to see other ppl like me express that they have sexual wants and dont feel embarrassed or ashamed of it. it's helped me to acknowledge that i can Feel Things and it doesnt make me some kind of freak.
special shoutout to the "sexualizing autism" meme as well for making me feel less shame about being an autistic person with a sezuality. I'm doing my best to un-internalize a lot of the desexualization of autism that i've picked up throughout my life so i can feel better about myself in that direction as well.
