(note to self: make a clarification info div abt how like just bc I link things doesn't mean I view things the way linked websites' owners do, and in fact often with the initial assumptions I don't necessarily for many of these pieces of writing, but I still appreciate all of these; then eventually link to a webpage elaborating on this, and in the 'trans' webpage do a similar clarification and link to it too probably)

Amriel writing resources

Note: I personally don't generally particularly enjoy when people tell others how to write or do something in writing as if that way is the only way (without some rigorous substantiation) rather than expressing it as offering a suggestion or option (and I say this to contextualize this webpage and my choices in what I've linked). It sometimes makes me especially uncomfortable, so I try not to link writing resources like that; for anyone with similar sentiments, one option to be more comfortable with these cases is to treat them as suggestions anyways - I find placing this higher level of scrutiny is also in a sense more respectful of the person talking to you(/whose writing you're reading/etc.), since you're engaging with them more thoroughly (which I find also allows for deeper levels of appreciation in what they're saying), rather than simply accepting what they say as probably true
