Gave the queries from last time some thought. While not as long-winded as last time, here's what I came up with about the points made...

1) I don't have a good answer about politics, as things seem to be getting worse and worse as time goes by. Regardless, I don't have the option to shun everyone I know in my life that doesn't conform with my beliefs (unless they're actively out to get me), and I need to step off the extremist rhetoric. All it does is stress me out. This also means I need to cut back on social media and start muting/blocking people, even those with good intentions but who are still spreading bad news and close-minded beliefs.

2) I know the easiest answer of "if you could change your gender with no repercussions, would you do so" didn't help. What did, however, is the fact that I simply eliminated answers that didn't work for me. The gender spectrum is indeed confusing to me, but I know I don't feel masculine, nor do I want to present as such. Which pretty much narrows it down to being a transgender woman. I still get doubts, but if I wasn't thinking of this sort of thing with such deep intent and nervousness, I would be cis-male. Simple as that.

3) I'm trying out new stuff, and coming back to older stuff I like. It's that easy. With Camp NaNoWriMo just about a week or so away, I'm trying out that sci-fantasy post-apocalyptic idea that keeps invading my mind every now and again. I am sure I'll be using my lioness and gang again eventually, but they could use a vacation from being obsessed over (and I need a vacation from them, too). As evidenced by the vore picture I did with Dana, I'm tempted to fiddle with that setting in more than just "clean" prose -- I'm tempted to try writing more vore stories about her, too.

Bear with me, folks. I'll be around, and will keep trying to make things work in my life.
