I really want to know if the egg can stick to some shirt materials, for example could you nest it sticking out of the top of a flannel shirt pocket, and it would hold itself up in the position you stuck it? That would be so cute! I imagine it would be safer to safety pin it in place, though- just as cute but far less likely to lose it.

[@georgeallan1952]

If you do a second run of PUD then changing the colour of the Dino and collectible eggs for other flags would be chef’s kiss!

I am a hotel front desk agent. What happened to Sasha is UNACCEPTABLE. The SOP is to ask the room number and the name on the reservation. If they can give you both pieces of information, you apologize and re-do the key. The magnetics in the hotel keys are infamous for needing to be redone constantly. I am so glad I work at a hotel that is inclusive and has great staff. On a more positive story to share- I checked 2 older gentlemen into the hotel yesterday. I thanked him for being a rewards member and if they would both like a complimentary bottle of water. His partner looked at him and was like, "You never told me you were a rewards member before we got married?!?!?" and I said, "yeah the perks you find out after you get married am I right." They were both laughing and they went down the hallway and attempted to get into the elevator for a ground floor room....and all I heard was ..."what room do we have?"- "Oh, I don't know..." I told them their room was to the right on the ground floor. His partner just said..."no, no. You should have let him get in the elevator. It would have been funny when the doors closed and I held the room number up to him." They were so funny and adorable. Edit: Ya'll so wholesome in this community right here! Proud of all of you.

Sasha in America is generally pretty often seen as feminine, but it is definitely a gender neutral name. Funnily enough, in Germany, it's considered a very masculine name. Funny how that stuff changes depending on the country?

[@SunnyCress]

I’ve also found (I don’t know how accurate this is though) but I’ve seen it used more femininely when the a is pronounced like in cat and more masculine when pronounced arr Idk though, just from people I know/ have seen

[@tinnagigja3723]

It's short for Alexander or Alexandra and it is gender-neutral. It's a very common name in Slavic countries.

[@berrysnowyboy5251]

It's a common name in Russian as well

[@BethAge95]

@@SunnyCress I agree and in my experience in German it's read as male when the s in the beginning is soft and as female when it's a sharp sound.

[@estherroos4908]

Sasha for a guys name is so awesome i love it it’s so cool

[@midnight_blue_moon]

Realized I was non binary last summer and chose to cut off all my hair. My mother kept protesting because she claimed it would "make me look like a boy" and only ended up agreeing to take me because I said I would donate it. She was the first person to tell me how much she liked my short hair. In short, people don't know what they're talking about with stupid gender stereotypes. Just do what you want.

[@georgeallan1952]

Completely unrelated to the why but I really don’t get why people are so invested in others hair… it grows back. I’m not saying you don’t rock short hair, I’m sure you do, but it’s the easiest thing to change and change back all it takes is time.

[@j.apenrose7896]

Getting that first haircut is such a great feeling! As I'm genderfluid I was a bit worried about how it might make me feel on my fem days, but I look just as awesome with short hair when I'm fem as when I'm NB!

[@Brynnthebookworm]

Ah, I had a similar experience except I'm an adult and went and got my hair cut myself, and my mom's first words were "It's too short but it's your hair." She's a Boomer and while she's not a bigot per se, she pulled one of those, "If you want me to change your pronouns I will but you'll always be my baby girl" things on me. Sorry, I ranted a bit because that second one still makes me mad.

[@ShinyTillDawn]

Older gens think that they;re always right.

[@borealernadelwald]

My hair went from very long to very short and back again multiple times during my life so far. One of the few things my mom did right was to respect my decisions when it came to this sort of stuff. I always wanted super long hair, but every time I suddenly got incredibly stressed, grabbed a pair of scissors and cut off like 30-50 cm (depending how long my hair was at the point) Now I've kept it at chin-length for almost a year and I'm still happy with it. If there is a length/style someone is most comfortable with, that's their decision and absolutely no one has a right to interfere. As long as you aren't hurting anyone you should be able to be true to yourself.

[@dietotaku]

Sasha is definitely a gender-neutral name, although it's more commonly used for males in Russia. Fun fact: the Animal Crossing community learned this the hard way when Nintendo added an adorable bunny rabbit with big eyes and eyelashes named Sasha, and then Sasha's bio was all "HE likes hanging out in HIS room" and he had one of the male personality types 😂 and that's how we learned that Sasha is also a boy's name and that gender identity =/= gender expression!

[@popkick8350]

Fun fact: it’s derived from Alexander, so all you rigid normers can go suck on that

[@damekkoDark]

I still remember being in kindergarden and while discussing names I thought Sasha(Alexander) is the best male name because I knew so many of them lol.

[@hellokristi]

Sasha is the sweetest boy in ACNH!

[@FrozEnbyWolf150]

See also Sacha Baron Cohen. His name is the French variation of Sasha.

[@sstellr]

I 100% understand the name deal. I'm European but currently living in America. My name is Florence, a VERY masculine name in most of Europe, but in America it's a ladies name.

[@clarisaxpianist]

The fact that in the hotel story NO ONE tried to confirm who he was just floors me

[@kanamarar5486]

​@@akitokutikabanae7010The guy who checked him in did. But later he was talking to a woman and the guy was gone. So she didn't know.

[@WantedVisual]

Sasha is a weird name. There's parts of the world where it's aggressively male (short for Alexander), parts of the world where it's aggressively female (version of Sarah) and parts where it's both. Whenever any geological Sasha region crosses, chaos ensues.

[@ju1esmay]

Sasha is never a version of Sarah! When it's feminine it's a diminutive of Alexandra (female version of Alexander) and its mor3 commonly viewed as feminine in english-speaking countries.

[@Florelea]

It will never cease to amaze me seeing trans people’s before and after photos. There’s always a night and day difference in happiness and confidence. I will never understand how transphobes can look at the pure joy transitioning brings to people and still think it’s “wrong”

[@TheoRae8289]

They want us to suffer as they suffer because reasons

[@miraculousdream7028]

Agreed!

[@tjenadonn6158]

Even looking at my own photos from before I started the deadness behind my eyes is apparent. There's a look of "How much longer can you really pull this off?" in all of them, ranging from a resigned Cioranesque "c'est la vie" to a silent screaming depending on which of the rare pictures I allowed to be taken that I've kept. My final photo, taken right before I took my first dose of HRT, feels surreal to me because I know that was me at some point but I don't relate to that person at all. He looks so frightened, so insecure, so deeply and inherently sad: you can feel a tragedy radiating from his bones. I'm glad that I'm done with him.

[@hellokristi]

The visible joy in after photos always warms my mom heart. Seeing the light in their eyes is absolute magic!!

[@hellokristi]

For most of my life I had my hair waist length or longer because I like long hair. Last year I was tired of taking care of my hair and was too hot so I decided I was ready to try a short haircut.

It's often part of compound names (like Lee-Anne) when feminine, or a middle name/second name (Roberta Lee), but seldom the whole name unless you're a guy.

I used to work in a bakery and occasionally we'd have cakes that were blue or pink. I *always* asked them (or the kid if they were there) which colour they wanted, and when they'd say 'it's for a boy.' I'd pretend I had no idea what that was meant to imply. My cousin once refused to eat a strawberry cupcake because 'I can't have that, because it's for girls' even though he'd just told me it was his favourite flavour. Let the kids eat cake.

Purple is spiritual

[@CorwinFound]

To trans masc people out there who have or will experience a top surgery reveal that feels traumatic, it's okay. We see the videos where the chests look great, huge smiles, tears of joy. And that's lovely. But it is not everyone's experience. I had my reveal and honestly felt nauseated and this feeling of, "Oh shit. Have I made a horrible mistake?!?" I told myself, give it a month. Don't panic, look as little as possible, and maybe it will be alright. And of course it was. Beyond the physical aspect of bruises, swelling, open incisions, and let's just say scary looking nipples, there is a huge jolt to the brain. You've lost body parts. It's going to take your mind some time to adjust. I'm two years out from top surgery and have gone from the immediate, "Oh shit" to "Da-amn I love my chest!" I love the look, I love the acars, I love how _me_ it is. -1000 regret. TL;DR If you don't have the happy Tiktok worthy top surgery reveal, don't panic. Give your chest and your brain some time to heal. You _will_ get to a point of self chest love. The odds are massively in your favour on this.

I'm a cisgender woman and have a gender neutral name and frequently companies will call asking to speak to "Mr ... " I think it happens a lot regardless of your gender or wether you are trans or cis. But I can only imagine that it must feel that much more uncomfortable for many trans people. Makes me mad as hell when I hear adults telling children in shops to "PUT THAT BACK! That's for girls/boys" arrrrrggghh. My kid has been just given clothes and toys of any and all colours since she was born. I've seen parenting 2nd hand sales where the toys and clothes were separated into BOYS and GIRLS on separate tables. Each time I've seen this i've gotten mad enough to have the conversation with the person/charity running the sales about why gendering toys and clothes for kids is not ok. It's never ok. Roll on the day when shops stop doing this too!

[@waffles3629]

Yep, like clothes are clothes and toys are toys. I had to help out at my parents church thrift sale once (couldn't get out of it) and got left in charge of organizing the clothes section. So I organized it in a logical manner, by rough size and category of clothing. Baby/toddler stuff (there wasn't enough to need to separate it further), and then kids and adults each by shirts, pants, outerwear, and other. A few people grumbled and I was like "IDC, you couldn't tell half the stuff apart anyway, a hoodie is a hoodie, if you wanna change it go for it". They didn't and no one had any issues finding the right table for what they were looking for.

I *adore* when trans fam share their favourite photos. I am a disabled person who has all sorts of complex emotions surround my body, bodily autonomy, the expectations - even demands - of others, most of which science isn't equipped to ameliorate. I don't know if this informs my love of trans joy, but I love it so much, seeing people find comfort and joy in their own skin, is a beautiful, powerful, life-affirming thing. There's a lot of shared love, and mutual support, between the trans and disabled communities, in part - I believe - because society treats us all as though we are broken, incomplete humans who do not fit into the pattern. We are not broken, if society does not encompass all the different ways to be human, then it is society that is broken. Anyway, I started talking about a nice thing, and got ranty and weird - again. There are few things that bring me as much wholehearted joy, as seeing my trans siblings shining with happiness.

Thank you so much for your post 🧡 I am trans nonbinary, and experience chronic illness(es) and disability (i.e. ableism). I've been through so many extremes with my appearance, my weight, stamina, my muscle strength, how my body feels to move, what it feels like to live inside my body and my head, my ability to maintain my own standards of hygiene much less grooming, how I feel when I look in the mirror. It's a rollercoaster of dysphoria. I don't hear *body dysphoria* discussed as much in regards to illness/disability as to gender, except maybe in the context of disordered eating. I really appreciate you bringing light to this. 🙏 And yes, disability isn't something we are, it's something we experience in a society that doesn't bother itself with meeting our basic needs.

As a 14 year old trans femme myself, I can say honestly that it disgusts me how people behave in regards to people like us.

[@Snuzzled]

Dyeing your underarms dyes the hair permanently and the skin temporarily! It's a lot of fun but until the skin dye washes off in a few days, you do need to wear old shirts because you _will_ stain them (learned that the hard way). You also need to bleach the hair first since most people have very dark underarm hair. But because it's so coarse for most people, it's very difficult to cause the same problems that a novice can cause by bleaching the hair on their head.

[@austinluther5825]

I also kept my name when I transitioned. But for me it's backwards. I have a traditionally masculine name that is gender neutral-ish. So people got confused because of my name all the time.

I am questioning whether I am non binary or genderqueer atm, and this year I cut my hair, and let me tell you it is the best choice I ever made. I have always had really long hair. I cut it to a shoulder length bob once and even donated my hair to a charity, but it kept growing back longer and longer. I have never been a "girly girl" and wanted to do anything with my hair really. In fact I used to really struggle with keeping my hair nice and self-hygiene because of mental health issues and lack of motivation. I had been telling my mam for a good few months that I wanted it cut really short into a cool style and when the day came I was shitting bricks. I was excited, of course, but anxious in case I regretted it and have to wait for it to grow back again. I have to warn you that the first few days of having your hair cut short is quite dreadful, especially if you have long hair. It looks really odd and alien at first and I had to hold in my tears because I thought I looked like a karen, but a few days later I bought some hair bananas to keep my hair back and I really started to like it, and now that it has grown into itself a little bit, it really suits me. Moral of the story, don't knock it till you try it, a big change will always be a shock at first but you don't know until you try if it will grow on you or not! Love you guys!

Got short hair cause it's more practical (and also I like it), but also long hair is cool sometimes... so I bought a wig :) Who says you can't have both ^_^
