“Fryd” is Norwegian for “joy”. I am not Norwegian, nor is that translation the reason for choosing this username many moons ago.
I studied English before my life went to shit. So you can expect wordy commentaries on life and people because I’ve got time and my thoughts and not much else.

I live in a place that’s pretty safe for trans people, so it’s not really a life or death issue in my experience. It’s just that trans people typically seek out other trans people and the community tries to make sure everyone is involved. Maybe that’s more of a factor in other places where it’s more dangerous, but not really where I am.
Still, what you and I are describing in more words is just solidarity as I understand it.

One thing I’ve noticed post transition is that trans people are overwhelmingly poor and yet still very social. We had 10 people together at a chilis just two days ago. We go to the beach or parks now and then or we get together to play board games. It’s definitely hard, but we manage to scrap together a few bucks and find a place to go to.
Obviously everyone should be paid more and stuff shouldn’t be so expensive, but I definitely think there’s also just a complete void of solidarity between people that exacerbates the effects of capitalist decay.
- Comment on People With Aphantasia Can't Visualize Anything. So How Do They Dream? 1 month ago:
I have aphantasia and I have visual dreams although details are extremely sparse and imprecise. It’s kinda like animated part of the music video for Take On Me visually, but even people are completely featureless. I can consciously visualize thing in my head in a similar way with enough concentration, but it’s always a fleeting thing I can barely maintain for any amount of time.
