hello….. i’m a bit nervous because i’ve never really interacted with radfems as a dysphoric person before but i would just like to reach out for some help, if at all possible. to the dysphoric/detransitioned radfems: what are some things that helped you cope with your dysphoria? i’ve been really starting to question wether or not transitioning is something i want to do, and i’m trying to consider ways of dealing with dysphoria through other means before going down that path. anything at all helps, thank you.

How To See Comet NEOWISE, Earth’s Most Spectacular Comet Since 2007

“From Earth, these comets typically appear brightest during closest approach. Bright, naked-eye comets are rare, with 1997’s Hale-Bopp serving as our most recent “great comet.” Since then, only 2007’s Comet McNaught was comparable, primarily to southern hemisphere observers. But in July of 2020, Comet NEOWISE will put on Earth’s greatest cometary show in 13 years. With a 6,800 year orbital period, it last appeared before the wheel was invented. On July 3, 2020, it reached perihelion, surviving a perilous encounter with the Sun.”

Most potentially exciting comets fizzle rather than sizzle, but Comet NEOWISE is looking to be an exception. On July 3, it passed its closest to the Sun, surviving the encounter and brightening significantly. Very close to the Sun right now from our perspective, it’s just about to transition from a pre-dawn to a post-sunset comet. You can easily see it with binoculars if you know where to look (images in the article), but it will continue to brighten until July 23, 2020, where it just might become the most spectacular comet in more than a decade.

Comet NEOWISE is already here, and now begins your chance to see it, particularly if you live in the northern hemisphere. Get out there and look!

Mystery term of the day: GNC

Meaning: gender-nonconforming, [adj.]

A very basic, neutral and loose descriptive term. Describes someone who doesn't conform to gender roles and stereotypes associated with their sex in either looks or behavior or both. Simply put, masculine women and feminine men.

It's a generic term that can be used for anyone without implying gender or sexual orientation unlike terms such as butch or transgender, even though butch is a type of a gender-nonconforming woman. So butch women are gnc, but not all gnc women are butches. Being gender-nonconforming doesn't equal dysphoria or transness either.

Because gender roles are so rigid and narrow, virtually everyone is at least somewhat gender-nonconforming, but the term is often actually used by people who experince conflict or regularly stand out. Your regular straight guy who's shy and doesn't like sports is technically gnc, but most likely it doesn't define his experience strongly enough to warrant the term.

Preferring gnc looks and behavior from a young age is a very common gay experience. Think of your tomboys and sensitive boys who are mostly friends with girls, they often grow up to be gay. But anyone can be gnc, many straight people noticably are, and it doesn't make them less so.
