@virescent-phosphor your radar is just fine, lol.
Apparently I need my own readjusted because I seem to be the most surprised of anyone. It’s amazing what one weekend at comic-con and one brain montage of Little Life Moments can do to undo decades of self-delusion. Finally realizing I wasn’t a fail at being human was amazing. And also that a lot of my choices in life sort of stemmed from being uncomfortable with being shoehorned into a gender role and orientation that didn’t fit. Oh yeah, I’m gf too.
As for LDR, yeah I have done that a few times. The longest one lasted years and it was epic…until we spent a lot of time together in real life and I realized we weren’t really a great match.
