FWIN: It's freeing.
FWIN: That's why.
FWIN: I know. It's weird for me to be saying that.
NBLM: You haven't joined a cult have you? Like some weird group that preys on depressed submissive trans women who used to be libertarians?
FWIN: ...
NBLM: look you /are/ a type

FWIN: I wanted to tell you first.
NoBarkLeftMarf: Anastasia, April Fool's Day was 13 days ago but holy shit you got me. Nice.

FWIN: And then it came down to, do I want it?
FWIN: And then it came down to, do I want it?
FWIN: And that's the thing. I do want it. And then I realized how much. Ryke, even if it is dying. Even if that chart says " 'Death' of Human Self" at the end for a reason (and it does), I still want it. Not because I want to die. But because I need to be _me_.

FWIN: It's fine.
NBLM: Thanks. Appreciate that. Alright, rewinding the tape here. So, you're starting Animal HRT. My former boyfriend turned on and off again girlfriend is starting Animal HRT. I'm fucking honored that you chose me to tell, and I've got your back.

FWIN: ...thanks Ryke. I know you do. I also know...
....
NBLM: I also know....?
FWIN: I know you probably have a lot of questions.
NBLM: Oh yeah. I have so many questions.
FWIN: ...can I preempt them?
NBLM: Of course.
FWIN: I'm going all the way. But not because I hate myself.

FWIN: Is it that surprising to you?
NBLM: ...wait.
NBLM: Are you not joking?
FWIN: No. I'm not.
NBLM: Oh shit I am so sorry. I just. Did not expect this.
FWIN: ...Heh. yeah. I'm kind of thinking maybe that's the reaction I'll be getting.
NBLM: Shit I'm sorry.

NBLM: Shit I'm sorry.
FWIN: I'm doing this because... Fuck. It's so hard to frame. It's so hard to explain.
NBLM: I'm not going to lie it's hard to understand.
FWIN: Yeah. There are a lot of misconceptions. I can send you all sorts of research papers and like treatment guidelines, if you want.

NBLM: Neah. I'm cool. Believe it or not you're not the first person I know to go all the way, though I'm thinking before we go any further we should probably see if that means the same thing to both of us. Also, you're definitely not the first person I know to /take/ AHRT.

FWIN: Okay so. I'm going all the way. Okay. As far as I can. Full fox. Loss of sapience.
NBLM: Okay. So I respect that. I've got it back.
FWIN: But you want to make sure I'm making it for the right reasons.
NBLM: I mean. You started off this by saying you didn't hate urself...

NBLM: It's more like. It's hard to understand why you of all ppl would do this. Ross & I had to practically drag you to the clinic by the muzzle (ngl youre going to look so incredibly cute with a muzzle I can envision it already) when it came to HRT. You hate change! /Really/ hate it!

NBLM: I believe you. You have my approval. I'm going to miss this version of you, but you're going to make the cutest, most adorable, the _smallest_ fox.
That's what you want to hear, right? You want my approval? I've never seen you this honest, Anastasia. Be yourself. Be you.

NBLM: I believe you. Walk me through it. I'm all ears.
FWIN: ...Erin did it last year.
NBLM: Erin, as in, your ex Erin? Oh fuck. Anastasia I am so sorry.
FWIN: No, no, it's okay.

NBLM: Anastasia...
FWIN: No, wait. I know how it sounds. I know how it sounds. But listen. I'm okay with it. I really am. Because I get it now. You have to understand that, Ryke. Yes, it hurt, and it still does. But let me walk you through it.
NBLM: Okay.
NBLM: Anastasia...

NBLM: Okay.
FWIN: But she did. She didn't say goodbye to me, we're still no contact, but she didn't instruct her partners not to give a link out to me. You know who she did instruct them not to give a link out to?
NBLM: [REDACTED]?
FWIN: Exactly.

NBLM: But not you?
FWIN: But not me.
FWIN: But she is, Ryke. She is! That's why she didn't stop going no contact with me.
NBLM: Anastasia... There's always the possibility that she just, didn't want you in her life even at this point. I know that hurts, but..
FWIN: I've thought about that. I have. But the website link..
