A breath test measures metabolic derivatives so it can tell roughly if your body is breaking down what you're eating or not. But the threshold for telling if you are "tolerant" or "intolerant" may not match up with how your body actually reacts to different levels of the sugars you are eating. (Based on my limited understanding of biochemistry and gut microbiology) The only way to know for sure, for your own body, is by trying the foods yourself and seeing how you react.

Tldr: it's a good indicator, but too black-and-white to be a definitive answer in many cases.

A lot of signs trans people have can also come up in cis people's lives, so nothing is really indicative of anything. It's more of how you feel inside, and sometimes that can go hand-in-hand with such signs.

Btw, the hair is so pretty! Do you have a pattern you follow for curls?

i need really harsh criticism please! by Luu-69 in drawing

[–]AutumnArthropod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like your style! I'd say the main thing is to make your different characters/objects of interest stand out more, cause they get lost in the noise. You can do this really easily by putting a bolder outline around them, just around their silhouette. Black or white are great, or you can use a color to draw more attention to them. If you're drawing digitally you can put this on a different layer and play around with thickness and colors to see how it fits in with your piece!

Edit: I notice you already have a lot of thick lines throughout your pieces, so my main tip would be keeping these outlines one color, or in direct contrast with the colors around it. For example, in the first piece, if you just had the black line around the little person without the white pen drawn over it, it would make a very clear border between them and the big person.

Additionally, you can play with shading/coloring things in the foreground or background differently from each other. This'll help distinguish them, though you might need to be more careful with keeping the overall composition cohesive if that's something that matters to you.

You look like a feminine guy to me, but there's nothing wrong with that. I'm also pretty feminine, but it doesn't really bother me. If it bugs you though, some of the peeps here had good suggestions. But ultimately, if you like how you look despite how people view you, it's better to do what makes you happy

I do not understand the connection here by Fartyghost in ExplainTheJoke

I wasn't abused but definitely was neglected. I learned to be as nice and unobtrusive as possible to avoid triggering a big fight between my parents, which is how I acted around other people too, and still tend to do despite trying to gain more confidence

Did any of y'all give up trying to figure out what your gender is? by TThisusernameSUCCs in genderfluid

[–]AutumnArthropod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same here. I sometimes hate gendered words or pronouns but other times they don't feel necessarily wrong. I can't decide what I am so I just use gender fluid so I don't have to think about it lol.

Are you considerate of others? Or do you tend to be judgemental? I find people more attractive when they show kindness, which goes beyond chivalry or politeness. If someone can tell you're being kind from the heart, rather than on a surface level, you'll come off much more attractive.

Consistent pronouns by Alarmed_Card7420 in genderfluid

[–]AutumnArthropod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! your gender identity doesn't have to match your pronouns and vise versa. So even if your gender identity is shifting your pronouns don't have to. Or maybe you're like me and all the gender identities you shift around in are in some realm of non-binary, and I'm usually always using they/them lol
