22 • he/him
ariana enthusiast
bipolar + autistic
and that may be the hardest question BECAUSE as comfortable as i feel being perceived as her by my girlfriend, i've never felt happier than being called he/him by my friends n by others in general

the issue w an autistic n bipolar brain is also that i can never trust anything i'm feeling/thinking. i remember talking about all this w my therapist a lil over three years ago and she told me i have to find out what i do for myself whereas what i do for others

this whole thing that i'm trynna describe is the epitome of the questions i'm asking myself : was the original denial being trans or being a lesbian ? what of these two things will bring me happiness for the rest of my life ? and what if it's neither ?

i think my fear of being masculine was largely influenced by my fear of realizing i was no girl but rather a man and that it would challenge my life permanently. it is obvious if you think about it that these feelings would come back later but i was satisfied to live in denial
August 16, 2024 at 5:46 PM
however, my absolute terror of masculinity brought me to perform an excessive n surreal femininity that i feel like conquered my soul in the most dramatic & non authentic way possible

because lesbianism allows an extremely deep & important place for gender non conformity (in all forms) i don't think i've been unhappy identifying as a lesbian. loving women and being a woman in the heart n eyes of other women has transformed my being greatly

so how did it all start ? because it has to start somewhere right... i know for a fact i was thinking about it v early in life, but thought v quickly it was a result of my love for women rather than a specific need to become a boy

that being said, the name is also pretty in itself and feels like the perfect alternative to my assigned name as it is an italian name easy to pronounce in each language i speak / my loved ones speak

referred to as a portrayal of death (AND escapism from death). romeo and juliet is also a tragedy that sometimes can appear as a comedy + lays a particular stance on our relationship to time (with an imaginary world & feelings delaying time)

now that i had time to reflect on the name (& the play itself), i realize no other name would've suited me better. the play lays great reflection on the reciprocal function of light & darkness as well as love & death (not in the common known sense but deeper than that) n romeo is often

my name is romeo, i chose it a lil over a year ago for various reasons, the main one being that i wanted to play romeo when i was in theater class n couldn't do it bc of my past gender expression & identity which lead to a great disheartenment n confusion
August 16, 2024 at 5:36 PM
i will also be following a question thread that i was answering earlier just bc it makes it all easier n stuff
August 16, 2024 at 5:35 PM
coming out : i haven't exactly come out yet especially bc i want to come out to my girlfriend first ! i plan on telling her irl

medically transition ? : YES. PLS. ASAP.
July 11, 2024 at 8:12 PM
when did it all start : when i was v young i was already thinking about it but then i thought it was bc i was a lesbian n 4 years ago it all came back v tough !!! but it's in the last few months that i really started to think about transitioning forreal

gender : transmasc is what works best for me
July 11, 2024 at 8:10 PM
pronouns are he/him but i don't really mind any tbh
July 11, 2024 at 8:09 PM
name(s) / pronouns & story behind it : my name is romeo and second name is emilio! first name is bc i started drag w that name n everybody just kind of went along with it in everyday life. second name is just fun, i like it n would've chosen it if it wasn't for romeo :)

usually writing comes so naturally to me but for this one it's like the nods in my head are merging with my writing n it just doesn't make any sense
May 26, 2024 at 2:27 PM
the thing is (i'm thinking out loud) : every story is about a break up somehow but i want this one to have the happiest ending of the play HOWEVER how can i make the encounter special enough to be worth a 10 scenes act ?
May 26, 2024 at 2:26 PM
also i wanna write something about a trans man kinda like to make peace with my own identity but i don't want it to be the sole subject of what i'm writing like he deserves to be such a complex character w layers n stuff but i dunno how
