Gender Euphoria - Pride Month Experiment

Hey Gay. Happy Pride Month!

In honour of Pride, this month’s experiment is all about exploring gender euphoria. Because the T in 2SLGBTQ+ has always been there and will always be there. Now don’t get it twisted, this experiment is not exclusive to trans folx. Gender exploration is for everyone, cis and trans, binary and non-binary, no matter what conclusions you come to about yourself.

Create Your Sensory Safe Space

 A couple weeks ago I wrote a blog about how humans generally have 8 senses (you can read that blog here).

So in today’s blog we are going to talk about a way to take some of the sensory pressure off yourself by building a Sensory Safe Space.

None of this ‘pull yourself up by your bootstraps’ nonsense.

Every time I am having a conversation with someone and I say “yeah we have 8 senses so like, it makes sense that you would be sensitive to xyz” people are like “WAIT WHAT? 8 SENSES?” Like yeah my human, they lied to you in elementary, we don’t have 5 senses, and it sure as hell isn’t special to have a 6th one. So I thought, what the heck, I’ll write a blog about it. Get ready for a info dump on human sense, and if you read to the end I’ll give you a free pdf for your troubles.
