Not completely abandon but just try to find other things that won’t clock you or make you seem out of place so easily. Addendum: this was dumb and I have poopy brain

    dysphoria takes so many things away from us, don’t let it take away your hobbies too

      I want to be interesting into things like Marine Biology and botany and draw stuff of them but I also get pulled into thinking about guns and imaging floating grey bricks launching missles at each other in the ocean

      Did you completely abandon it or interact with it as little as possible?

    Don’t kill your spark nona, finding new interests is fine but don’t force yourself to like girly things or step away from what you love

    dont intentionally abandon things that make you happy but also try out new hobbies that you may have felt barred from due to fear of it being perceived as a feminine interest. open yourself up to new things, but don’t stop something just because you think it’s too “masculine” :)

    Restraining yourself from something you like doing is retardbrained not male/fembrained
