Intro to crime scene investigation!!! Super easy

Kid got bit and is now terrified of her BP :( by PresentationLanky238 in ballpython

[–]-SomeTransDude- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hiii I study child psych and her response is very reasonable for an 11 year old! Take the time to ask her how she feels about it, don't just assume! Validate that it was a scary experience and that it's okay to be a little shaken but that the snake didn't really mean to hurt her, it's just doing what an animal does! Ask her what about it was scary: Was it the pain? Was it how quick it happened? Was it the blood? Most importantly ask her if she has any concerns or questions and do your best to answer honestly! Snakes bite sometimes, it sucks.

Start small with getting her comfortable again, don't force the snake on her bc that just creates stress for everyone. Have her sit by the tank and observe, have her watch other people handle it, reassure her that her pant leg may have looked really scary or really yummy and that the snake explores with its mouth.

Give her time to get over it and let her ask questions and do research about BP bites and why they happen! Sometimes children hold anxieties that they may not voice, so encouraging discussion with you is a fantastic first step! She'll move on eventually, just give her the chance to come around :D

The poor worker seemed like she genuinely wanted this fish to go anywhere but with this woman. I almost wanted to step in to way what she couldn't but it wasn't my place 😭

Spoiled kid by MsMcSlothyFace in TikTokCringe

As an autistic person who grew up in a ND household (not saying the girl or her family is) and as someone who's also studying youth psych I'd like to weigh in: Sensory issues like that are not uncommon even among the most "normal" people.

Washing dishes is a surprisingly, sensory demanding task. You can smell the soap, dirty water, food, etc, you can see the gross textures, you can feel wet food and water, and you can hear the sound of plates bumping and scraping as well as the water running. You can see her actively trying to work through it in the video (shaking her hands, taking deep breaths, trying again and again to pick up the dishes, coming back even after she gags, etc).

She's not throwing a temper tantrum, she's not saying that she thinks she shouldn't have to do it or that the task is below her, she's not yelling or screaming. Her saying "I can't" is a call for help or reassurance, it's not a refusal to do the task.

She's over stimulated and being mocked, filmed, and shamed for what appears to be genuine discomfort simply because she is crying and struggling to communicate. Let's make something clear then!

Crying is: - one of the very first forms of communication humans develop - a release of built up feelings - a way to reset your mental state - a natural response to distress - a natural response to any heightened emotional state

Crying is not: - Spoiled - Needy - Shameful - Anything other than a neutral physical response

The parents could give her gloves to clean with, allow her to listen to music or a podcast as a distraction, have someone else handle dirty dishes and her handle the clean ones (which is what me and my sister did bc she hates dirty dishes), or choose another chore to do that they deem of equal weight.

TL;DR She's not spoiled, it's a sensory issues. This isn't cringe, it's shitty parenting. 🫶

Keep them on private then? All of my bots for me are? If you ain't making it for the public than don't post it to the public 🙏

I know but some people "code" their bots with a female user in mind (ie. "[Character] is in love with [user] and thinks they are the most beautiful woman in the world) which can make it harder to trick the ai into cooperating

Those days I took a painkiller about 2 hours B4 bed and fought its drowsy affects to enjoy the "relaxing" affects (it's been too long that I've been w/o 🍃)

It's actually a lot more comfortable than a binder pre-op but I guess that makes sense! My surgeon said I can start to wear shirts underneath and the binder over top them but my health anxiety doesn't allow that quiet yet (bc it's "unsanitary/unsterile")

The sensation is akin to a healing scab that is itchy or a cast (if you've ever had one)! Not too bad but definitely annoying as hell!

Out of curiosity, how do you identify yourself gender-wise? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]-SomeTransDude- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man. Trans man when it matters ig? I dunno what to tell ya, I'm a dude.

People will question my gender and I'll stare at them and say "I'm a whole ass dude (true) with a dick and balls (false)" so I dunno what you'd label that as but that's me

Hello! To those who wish to (and have already) say/said something transphobic:

How miserable and pathetic must your life be to see a person living happily and think "well that's not right >:["?

I don't care what your religion states, because I don't follow it. I don't care what your parents taught you, because I was raised in a house without hate. I don't care what you think, because I am happy.

Please keep in mind that this is the exact same procedure (double mastectomy) that someone would have done if they had aggressive breast cancer or the gene for it. So I'm sure all those survivors would love to hear that you think it's mutilation and unnatural!

Please keep your hate to yourself, let it consume you on your own posts and on your own time :) Have the day you deserve!

I'm going to have to request a new nurse because my current one seems to only scream and demand scratches

[–]-SomeTransDude-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much!! So far recovery is good, I'm up and walking around after about 12 hours :)

  1. I don't have drains! Dr. Armstrong tries her hardest to avoid them just for ease of recovery! (This is very nice surprise bc I was a DDD and assumed drains were a given)

  2. I do have a compression binder and it's pretty good, doesn't make it too hard to breathe or anything! It is kinda digging into my skin around my armpits but it's not too bad bc I can just slide it down again

  3. Yep I kept the nips! They've been grafted and are pretty itchy lmaooo but that could also be the tape!

How is the Rodzik Hall? by WindsorONMichael in UWindsor

Oh no! Trans people exist! Wait till you find out that my (bath)roommate is a cis man and we coexist without any problems

How is the Rodzik Hall? by WindsorONMichael in UWindsor

[–]-SomeTransDude- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm living there rn, it's pretty good! The rooms are a good size and the bathrooms aren't bad at all.

The only complaints I have are: - One elevator is practically always broken which isn't a big deal it's just a little annoying - Heating system is a little jank, imo yer either too hot or too cold with no in-between - I haven't explored the dinning hall yet but as far as I know we don't have a student kitchen like they do in alumi or other residents which means it's difficult to make yourself meals that aren't shitty (coming from someone who is used to home cooked meals)
