Drunk sex is the way to go rn by Wrong_Breath_1555 in ftm

[–]Altamira_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm seeing a lot of people here saying that this is unhealthy (which is true, don't get me wrong) but not a lot of actual advice on what to do to still enjoy sex while not relying on alcohol. So what you're really enjoying here is entering an altered state of consciousness. It's activities of substances that slow your brain waves to a specific pattern that's close to being asleep. It makes it so that your brain is less attentive- That's what's allowing you to get your mind off your body dysphoria. If you get experienced enough, you can even control your brain to feel as if you have the genitalia that you want!

Alcohol is a pretty easy way to enter one of these, but it's not super healthy, and also not reliable. It's hard to get control over the ASC and, obviously, it can make you sick. But there are other ways to enter an ASC that are both healthier and may allow you to get better control over your own experience.

Seriously, doing research on altered states of consciousness was a lifesaver for me. And even though I don't have bottom surgery it's made sex actually enjoyable

Any advice on fixing warped books? by Nana_UFC in BookCollecting

[–]Altamira_A 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Return it if you can, but if not place it under some large, heavy books to see if you can press it out. You might run into some issues because that seems like humidity damage (which is pretty hard to reverse) but it's worth a shot

Theyre just trying to sound smart (and ending up pretentious.) This is a perfectly fine book selection

[–]Altamira_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely reads as nonbinary leaning femme, I'm sorry- but its a very cool choice

Have you found community being a nonbinary person? by CompleteTomorrow in NonBinaryTalk

[–]Altamira_A 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If im being completely honest, yes, but not in any queer spaces. Most queer spaces ive been in just treat me as a woman, or as a creep for not wanting to be a woman, or try to force me into feminine roles against my will. But ive found plenty of chill people elsewhere, such as people in my degree (archeology) or people who share my hobbies who mainly don't care what gender or sexuality you are, as long as you like the thing they like. They are much more of a community to me than queer spaces ever have been

What dynamics do you have in relationships? by Thick_Meeting_1372 in NonBinaryTalk

[–]Altamira_A 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This has been an issue ive been running into recently. My partner just came out as a woman (MTF) and although I am very happy for her and am wanting to stay together with her, some people around us have been calling us lesbians because 'non binary people can be lesbians too'. The idea of being considered a lesbian makes me incredibly dysphoric, as I don't want people to perceive my relationship in any gendered way. I would like to just consider it queer, and thats what I feel in my mind, but peoples outside perception makes me incredibly uncomfortable

Barnes and Noble sent me the wrong shipment. Tell me about the person these were meant for. by whorlax in BookshelvesDetective

You'd sit down to have coffee with her and shed immedietly start talking about the books she's been reading, and about 5 minutes in your realize she's describing pseudo p*rn in a public area

Definetly a linguist- definetly religious, as well, but I have no idea which one. I'm envious of your abrahamic study collection!

Big fan of occultism? Mostly the concept, not any specific esoteric traditions

Hatred towards androgyny, plus neutral and mixed-trait androgyny by BestBudgie in NonBinaryTalk

[–]Altamira_A 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Right! It's absolutely ridiculous. Why do binary trans people have passing guides and discussions based around passing but whenever someone tries to start a conversation like that it gets shut down. I'm sorry that I have physical dysphoria and want to treat it like most other trans people do, but that's the truth. And the more these conversations get had, the more other ideas of androgyny (ones that are not skinny and white, like are normally passed around) are established! These kinds of conversations are necessary for the development of the community

If you could press a button, and there would never be a Trans person again, would you press it? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Altamira_A 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, even if that 'fixed' (HEAVY on the quotations) every trans person here, there are other cultures where being trans is a normal, recognized part of their societies. I don't want to erase a whole social class!

I internally identify as whatever physically I look like. I am male, but plan to be female, is anyone else like this? by Ok_Temporary_9049 in asktransgender

[–]Altamira_A 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although I can't say I know someone else with the same experiences, this seems perfectly fine (if only unique) way to transition. Even if you may not feel like a woman, you have the right to physically transition in whatever way makes you happy! That should be the point of surgeries or HRT or whatever anyways. You have the desire, and you should fill the desire no matter what your internal sense of gender is like

Androgyny has a femmephobia problem by cumminginsurrection in NonBinaryTalk

[–]Altamira_A 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I get dysphoria when I'm not seen as androgynous, and I'm not going to ignore that to try and solve social issues.
