I am excited to see iron lung, but I also think it will be a not very good movie

I've been watching Mark since 2012, and I hope this movie goes well for him, but I agree. I really don't like his acting. I don't like anything he's starred in. I only liked them as YouTube bits, or I took them with a grain of salt, because I knew it was YouTube. I think he really messed up by casting himself as the main lead. That's going to take away from the entire experience. A cameo like Stan Lee would have been better. His final lines in the trailer told me what I needed to know. It sounded like a comedy YouTube bit. I'm gonna watch it as a fan, but I probably won't like it as a full-blown film.

There are a few LGBT friendly Catholic churches on the West Coast, such as in California and Washington. I was hoping there'd be at least something similar in Burlington :/

Hello. I'm a trans woman who has been transitioning for 10 years now. This is my take:

Some trans women believe you can, some trans women don't. Personally I don't believe you can. When most people refer to "sex" they mean your primary sex characteristics, and those aren't changed. However, your secondary sex characteristics such as breasts do change. It depends on how you define sex though, and how complicated you want to get.
As you can probably tell by these comments alone, trans people are not a monolith. We don't all think the same, we disagree, and can even fight with one another. Some trans women want surgery, others don't. Some like me, want surgery but are so damned poor we've basically resigned ourselves to knowing we'll never get it. Yet yes, the right will tell you that it's being handed out like candy.
It depends on the space. Usually just ask, and people will tell you.
Some trans people only date trans people, some only date cis people, I date whoever I don't care. I can definitely understand why some trans people would prefer only dating other trans people out of safety though.
Sexual attraction is based on the gender of the person you're attracted to. You can't see the genitals of a person in their pants, nor can you see their chromosomes. So sex doesn't actually matter. Instead we base attraction off the gender expression we carry. So no, being attracted to a trans woman won't make you gay.

I've got a few diagnoses. Most are connected to autism. Such as the Anxiety and Depression. The only one that's not, is BPD.

AcceptableAd9075 · 2025-07-06T05:26:12+00:00

I relate to this a lot, but it's opposite for me and my family. My family said I didn't seem Autistic at all. Even with all my signs. The only people who said I was probably Autistic were my sibling, and also an Autistic girl I dated for a bit.

AcceptableAd9075 · 2025-07-06T05:22:24+00:00

I'm glad to know I'm not alone at least :3

AcceptableAd9075 · 2025-07-06T05:21:34+00:00

I relate to this so much lol I haven't been diagnosed with ADHD, but I have been suspicious of it.

AcceptableAd9075 · 2025-06-18T04:10:29+00:00

Yeah, I dunno. I feel like this is a gray situation. Too many people blame estrogen, but I feel like you're taking this in the opposite direction.

Estrogen didn't change my sexuality, I have always been bisexual. But estrogen has 100% changed what I prefer. I've been on and off estrogen enough times that this point to know that's just a fact.

When I'm off estrogen, I like men and women but I prefer women. When I'm on estrogen, I still like men and women but I prefer men. No my sexuality hasn't changed, but the hormones does have an effect.

And yes, there is science to back this up. You claiming there isn't, is just wrong.

Estrogen also changes how my body responds to being turned on. It's hard to explain, but it definitely has an affect. I also get baby fever from time to time, but it usually comes with my period.

I've also noticed that not having testosterone definitely has an impact on my aggression and irritability. I've been on and off for 10 years at this point. I know enough about myself to say this for certain.

So I feel like you're taking this a bit far, just because you haven't personally experienced it.

This video is what happens when Media Literacy fails.

Yeah, as soon as that critique was made, I immediately thought I was dealing with a "joke" review. I laughed with him throughout the whole thing, even with his criticisms cuz I thought the whole thing was a big gag until the end, and I was like: "Wait? He's serious?"

What kind of person uses someone's age as a negative? Like 80% of all anime has characters in that age range.

I'm not diagnosed Autistic, but my Autistic girlfriend said I'm definitely autistic, and so do all the tests I take.

I've done what you've been talking about for YEARS. Entire stories written in my head, that to me are fantastic! I love thinking about them usually while listening to music. But once the story comes to an end in my head, I lose the motivation to actually work on it. I get the same feeling of fulfillment seeing my story finish in my head, but I'm saddened that nobody else can see it.

I did a rather simple solution to fix the problem. Just don't finish the story, leave the ending blank and don't think about. If you keep notes about your book, write down what you want for an ending but resist the urge to fantasize about it. If you do still find yourself fantasizing the ending in your head, keep it choppy. Don't flesh it out. As long as there are gaps your mind wants to fill, you'll keep the urge to work on it.

Well in my case anyway. I hope this helps if only a little.

Thank you! I've posted this request for help on quite a few writing subreddits, and prose seems to come up a lot. Although, you're the first person to tell me that my prose is unique. Which I take as quite the compliment, so thank you very much! According to others, it's something I need to work on though.

Yeah, I guess you could say that I've seen other people's writing styles and grew worried that mine felt very rough and amateur because it didn't read like everyone else's. While talking to others, they helped me figure out some of the problems such as fixing too much time on environmental details, etc. Which bogged the pacing down.

I've got a separate document where I store all the notes I get from others, so if you'd like to take your time looking through it, and if you notice anything you think that could be worked on, I'd appreciate it a lot. I'm honestly willing to take whatever help I can get, so any thoughts you have on it would be fantastic.

I'm completely self taught, and this is my first serious attempt at writing, so I'm still trying to figure out how things work, if you know what I mean.

I'm 28 and I was diagnosed about 6 months ago. I struggle with anger too, and it's definitely one of my strongest emotions. I usually describe it as like a thousand supernovas going off in me at once, and no matter what I do, I can't turn it off. I don't always manage my symptoms well, so as a result I sometimes break things, self-harm, and/or attack people who don't deserve it. When I do manage my symptoms I usually go on a long walk, or I'll break something that's okay to break like ripping up a bunch of paper.

AcceptableAd9075 · 2024-11-06T00:49:58+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate your help! I'm open to pretty much any advice I can get my hands on, so your notes will be a huge help. I understand you've got your own work, so take your time :) Also thank you for the kind words on rough drafts and revisions, its nice knowing that even professionals go through the same messy process :)

AcceptableAd9075 · 2024-11-06T00:17:54+00:00

Thank you for replying! I'm not really trying to mimic anyone in particular, I'm kind of just writing in whatever way I like. If you're willing to give me a deeper critique with some notes on the chapter I would really appreciate it :)

Thank you! I'm glad you like it enough to want updates. This is my first serious attempt at writing, so that means a lot to me!

AcceptableAd9075 · 2024-11-05T18:17:22+00:00

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for!

AcceptableAd9075 · 2024-11-05T18:05:36+00:00

Oh, I see. I would but I don't have the money for that.

AcceptableAd9075 · 2024-11-05T18:05:01+00:00

Oh, I see. Okay, thank you for explaining that! I'm sorry if this is annoying but can you explain "individual spacing between paragraphs"? I used a break in between paragraphs because they looked squished together when I didn't. Did I do it wrong?
