New bedroom
It's the time of year when all the students move house. After a brief power struggle over rooms I've ended up with the one on the ground floor which is pretty beautiful.
This room won't smell like bullcrap canned testosterone and male pheromones- I'm never going back to anything but unisex deodorant again. The fog of that stuff following you around all day seems to dull your emotions and contribute to the wall of maledom which isolates you from horrid dysphoria. There was a question on Reddit asking if dysphoria gets worse when you start taking steps to cure it. it absolutely does- you suddenly become aware of how slowly you're moving and how far you have to go.
My new room smells like perfume, thanks to the previous owners. I think I'll keep it.
