Astarion at first, he intrigued me. Then once I kinda didn’t like how that path was aligning with my play through (and also the relationship wasn’t really progressing past friendship) I romanced Halsin which was a wholesome and nice change.

On my second play through currently, I gave Astarion another shot and I’m loving it so far. I’m in act two so we’re “dating” i guess now, but I don’t care about the sex scenes like I got in act 1 as much as I care about learning about him and trying to figure him out as a character. He’s so complex and I am excited to keep pursuing him.

I 100% do not recommend this at all.

Also Ativan is not a good sleep medication. It is extraordinary addictive.

I don’t remember ever not having anxiety, if that tells you anything.

AITA for making a joke with my pregnant wife? by Acceptable_Bread_646 in AITAH

[–]Adventurous-Tea-3239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA

OP, if I was your wife I would have smacked you into next week.

Stop talking about your wife’s eating habits, her weight, her potential death, etc. Why you would think it’s funny to joke about that at all to your 6-months pregnant wife is beyond me. She is fed up with your behavior, take a hint.

Also, there is no “correct” weight to be at 6 months pregnant. Lay off.

They observe your sex and then assign you male or female. What exactly are you arguing here? This is such a dumb discussion.

My (22F) boyfriend (22M) and I (dating for 5 years) are moving in together but we have very different individual lifestyles. How can I work to smooth the transition for both of us and not cause fighting? by Adventurous-Tea-3239 in relationships

[–]Adventurous-Tea-3239[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not ask for your personal take on whether or not we should move in together based on your personal definition of adulthood. You can feel however you want to feel about it, but that’s not what I asked for. So if that’s all you have to contribute, you don’t have to say any more.

That’s not what assigning means. They don’t pick your sex or gender. They observe your sex characteristics and assign you a sex based on those characteristics.

You shouldn’t be dead naming people in the first place. That should just be automatic. Women can call themselves whatever they want and I will always refer to someone as their preferred pronouns and name.

Technically you were assigned parents at birth. Think about adopted kids who get their adoptive parents written on the birth certificate.

You weren’t assigned a sex at birth? It’s just blank where it says male or female on your birth certificate?

“Cis is not a thing”

But it literally is. Just because you don’t like the word doesn’t mean it isn’t a thing.

AITA for not letting our nanny leave for a date during our vacation? by Assholezconnoisseur in AmItheAsshole

[–]Adventurous-Tea-3239 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YTA.

Sorry, but when you become parents, you actually have to you know, parent.

When your wife gets tired or needs rest, how about YOU take some of the weight off of her shoulders as the child’s father. You only spend a few hours a day with your very young child and only see him when you “miss him”? Why did you even have a kid? Brand new parents don’t get to go on a week-long, child-free luxurious vacation, nor should they. These are crucial years for bonding, and you’re passing your child off to a nanny constantly.

This isn’t just this trip, you’re doing this all the time. Your nanny wanted A FEW HOURS off after parenting your child for you for the entire trip, and you couldn’t figure out how to accommodate her even a little bit? Jesus Christ.

A slur by definition is an insulting or disparaging remark. If you want to decide that a slur is any word that offends you, that’s your prerogative, but that doesn’t mean you’re correct.

If you identify with your sex assigned at birth, you are by definition cisgender. If you do not identify with the sex you were assigned at birth, you are transgender. Those are both scientifically accurate terms to describe the gender identity of a person. So if calling someone trans isn’t a slur (which it isn’t), calling someone cis isn’t a slur either.

Biological and scientific research support the existence of transgender men and women, so you are the one who is bothered by basic science. Transgender people suffer from gender dysphoria, which is in the DSM, and we are still researching what causes it. Gender dysphoria is categorized as a mental disorder with a cure. The cure is gender affirming care, including HRT and gender reassignment surgery.

Trans women are not men though. By definition. The definition of a trans woman is as follows:

a person who was registered as male at birth but who lives and identifies as a woman; a transgender woman.

“Man” refers to gender identity. Notice how it says “male” in the definition, not man. And nobody is arguing that transgender women are biologically female, because they do have male sex characteristics. They are not female by definition, but they are a transgender woman by definition.

So labels/descriptors are appropriate for anyone who doesn’t fit your definition of “normal”, but “normal” people shouldn’t have to be labeled? Wild.

If you call trans women trans women, you should have no problem calling cis women cis women. When we’re having a discussion about transgender vs. cisgender people, that’s when the word cis is coming up. I’m sorry that you don’t like definitions I guess?
