six weeks ago i cried so much my feet changed shape and ever since then my one pair of shoes hasn't fit properly. i've been too lazy to buy new shoes and cobbling my own shoes is out of the question. this is a metaphor for everything else in my life rn too

they got wider in the front or something? i can't really tell if they've actually changed shape or if i've just gotten less numb / more sensitive

My feet got noticeably bigger after my second kid, and that sort of thing is common. Yours is the first anecdote I’ve heard about emotional release doing it though!

oh, that's fascinating! the part of the emotional release that actually changed my feet was reconnecting to my sexuality, and specifically to sexuality as being for making babies! seems related to the thing you wrote on fb about menstrual pain and feelings about pregnancy

every time i connected more to this sexuality -> babies thing it released a bunch of tension in my sacrum but also in two lines going down the backs of my legs to the outer sides of my feet. i just kept releasing that tension for hours

yeah! really changed my perspective. now it seems like the standard liberal casual attitude towards sex as being for pleasure is super weirdly disconnected from the way sex _produces new humans in the world_

do you think your discovery about the sex <> babies connection is biologically hardwired, as it were? like do you think such a discovery in principle awaits every human who does self-transformation-stuff?

basically yes. there's lots of sexual trauma and parental trauma in the way for almost everybody though

Replying to @QiaochuYuan @jondubin and
possible exceptions for biologically extreme cases of people who were born with really unusual hormonal situations or w/e but i think nearly everyone else just has trauma to work through, if they want to
