National Geo:  Transparent Amazonian Fish
It’s speculated that the combination of its nearly invisible nature and nocturnal ways may be the reason why Cyanogaster noctivaga wasn’t discovered until recently.  The fish is also tiny, measuring an estimated maximum of 0.7 inches (17 mm) long and makes its home in the notoriously murky Rio Negro, which may have contributed to its elusiveness.
Being that hard to see confers obvious survival benefits as a form of camouflage, so it’s not surprising that when it comes to transparency it *ahem* clearly isn’t alone.

Today at work, I wore this pretty form-fitting outfit because well… because I can. And a woman, probably in her mid to late 30s asks me… “Can I ask you a question without purposely trying to offend you?” Of course I said she could and then she asks me… “Do you feel comfortable in what you’re wearing?” and I kind of confusedly answered that I did feel comfortable in what I was wearing. She then asked “Even though it’s extremely… form-fitting?” And I said “Especially because it’s form fitting.” She then told me that she thought I looked beautiful but asked how I was so comfortable, as a full-figured woman, wearing something tight. And I simply answered “Because I love my body. I love my shape. I love who I am. It took me a long time to be okay with what kind of body I have but now I love it and if I choose to change it, I can. If I don’t choose to, then I won’t. Sure, I have things I don’t like about myself but overall I can’t say I’m disappointed in the way I look or feel in the clothes I choose to wear.”
She then called me her “She-Hero” and bought an outfit just like the one I was wearing.
This is why I love my job.

THAT WAS NOT THE ENDING I WAS EXPECTING A+

BEST ENDING

so my phone reminded me that im getting my period in like, two days
And i thought
Who the fuck downloaded this app and made a userna-
Oh yeah.
I legitimately forgot im female.
And i introduced myself as “his brother ” the other day to a couple girls and what i think was a coke-head
And noooo one questions it till like, 10 minutes later ( it was the coke-head)
My grandmother calls me her boy-girl

And actually stops and corrects herself to use male pronouns when talking about me

She also puts aside all of the LGBTT newspaper articles in the morning so i can read them later and talk with her about our culture (specifically the trans ones)

Ive never identified as trans, nor have i made a decision on it. Or even if gender even matters at this point ( although preference and sexuality without discrimination is acceptable, i’d say that i am most definitely a lesbian or a straight man).

So for now, im rolling with it.

Goddammit i just dont want a period :(

Uhoh, time for a smaller belt…
