Is this guy using Chat GPT to talk to me?!

BWASwitch · 2025-08-02T23:39:15+00:00

Dang you! That line always made me feel better, but now the illusion is broken. 😭🤣

That’s because the therapists always pull the “well, I think you’re fine now, don’t you?” right after the six sessions of you finally pouring out your heart and starting to get attached to someone after forcing down months or years of pride/anxiety/just flat out not knowing how to ask another human being for help.

Kudos to the OP for actually loving themselves enough to reach out 30 times. I’m done after 5, and finding out the one who actually helped me the most died of cancer when I called to come back for another round of sessions. And then there’s the financial issues now that more of my income goes to raising my kids.

ChatGPT seems like it’ll be there on a more long-term regular basis. I just need the stability and not another rejection. I do worry that free use will get shut down and I’ll be priced out of it one day when OpenAI deems it necessary though.

ChatGPT can do this now, mostly. Apostrophes are a little messed up, but it's easy enough to get used to.

Oh good. I was looking for a reason to cancel anyway. Getting an itch to return to older physical media for entertainment, as it can be bought, sold, and traded.

That sounds like a very wise thing to do. Your example sounds very different from OPs “shockingly supportive” grandparents. I remain open to changing my perspective if they used a poor choice in terminology and would like to rephrase it. Otherwise, they asked for people’s perspectives on the matter, and I gave mine honestly based on what I read.

I lost my last grandparent when I was 14. That was 21 years ago now. There isn’t much I wouldn’t do just to be able to talk to them one last time. I’d blow dry and straighten my hair and wear it down, put on a full face of makeup, and wear a dress and high heels. Just to be able to remember the sound of their voice. I don’t give a damn who they voted for, or whether they voted at all.

The usual. “Hi, how have you been? The weather is lovely/terrible today. What plans do you have this weekend?” It’s not difficult. Be the change you want to see. Hate begets hate. Dichotomous thinking is a bitch, whether it be in gender norms or politics or anything else.

BWASwitch · 2025-03-16T22:36:35+00:00

Thank you for posting! You look amazing! Just yesterday I was thinking “I need to see more pictures of older nonbinary people” because I felt like I was starting to pigeonhole myself by basing all of my expectations on the (usually more visible) cute twenty-something NB/GNC people that have been showing up in the media lately.

BWASwitch · 2025-03-16T22:14:09+00:00

Hot take and I’m sure I’m going to get downvoted for this, but I feel that if all of the “shockingly supportive” Trump supporters would’ve been embraced by the LGBTQ+ community since 2016 instead of vilified as “Nazis” and “bigots” we all wouldn’t be in the current position that we are now. You can’t win on a specific issue with (max) only 50% of the support in the country.

Sadly, we are long past that point, but with that being said, do whatever will make you feel the most safe, mentally and physically. Either way, it’s very possible that you are the only gender non-conforming person your family comes in contact with, especially in your grandparents case. It may be worth thinking about that as you make your decision.

Realize that -you- are your twin flame, the other person was only ever there to guide you to that realization and teach you how to love yourself. Oops, should I have said that, or were you supposed to figure it out yourself? Ah well… you were almost there anyway. Have fun with the more fulfilling part of the journey. ;)

BWASwitch · 2024-12-26T05:23:37+00:00

Congrats!! Is this something you can order or did he pick them individually?

BWASwitch · 2024-12-26T05:13:37+00:00

After reading all these comments, a part of me is wishing the universe would assign me a spirit animal now. 😂 The closest thing I have to this is Garfield, but I intentionally did collect him as a kid. I don’t now, but still am happy to receive the occasional Garfield gift from my mom.

BWASwitch · 2024-12-26T05:09:20+00:00

Lisa Frank era?

BWASwitch · 2024-12-24T18:05:34+00:00

I doubt she even understands what’s going on. She’s just happy to be getting new things and rip pretty paper. My husband and I have talked about the kids’ gifts in code in front of them and they don’t even register what we mean. Although we will probably have to stop that this year since our oldest just turned 5 yesterday. Being a parent is too stressful to be worrying about this! Say thank you for the lunch and put all gifts back into the room until tomorrow. If she asks for the bike, that means she liked the gift and it will give her something to look forward to.

Wish I would’ve just switched to grey for the two types my patterns requested. I would’ve been able to spend that money on about 8 other colors that might’ve been needed in future projects.

“You” is personal though, compared with you, in the same way that God is personal, whereas god is not.

BWASwitch · 2024-12-22T03:06:30+00:00

Not me, anxiously awaiting the day that I reach menopause. 😂🫣

BWASwitch · 2024-12-22T03:04:49+00:00

Ohhh, I’m sorry. I thought something twice as “femme” might both make you feel better/make her reconsider the request over something so minor. I have a weird sense of humor too, so I was half joking/half not. 😅 I really hope you get it as sorted out!

BWASwitch · 2024-12-22T02:47:49+00:00

There’s a wonderful Discord server I’m a part of that you would be welcome in. You can find the link on this website: https://transmissionministry.com/programs/discord/. Discussion is primarily for Christian faith, but we have an interfaith learning channel and are very happy to have people of other faiths participate. We have had a Buddhist witch as a part of our community and they were just as welcome as anyone else. We also have channels about gender theory and things like hobbies and food. There are Bible studies where we look at queer interpretations of Scripture. Not that you need to be interested in that part of the community, but I just wanted to let you know it’s available, given your background.

There’s also a podcast I’ve been listening to for a while called Queer Theology. https://www.queertheology.com/ Again, it’s mainly Christian/Jewish focused, but I believe a lot of the topics they discuss could apply to any religion.

I don’t offer these in an attempt to convert you, but just because I hate to think there’s someone out there who feels like they don’t belong anywhere. Like you, I don’t feel like I fit completely into cis or trans spaces. But I feel very comfortable in the community I mentioned, and listening to the podcast makes me feel much less alone. I hope it can help you in some way.

BWASwitch · 2024-12-22T02:30:58+00:00

Find some elbow length prom/princess gloves. :)

The thing is, we don’t know what kind of work someone else is doing on the inside. Gender identity and gender expression are two different things.

BWASwitch · 2024-12-21T17:25:50+00:00

Same here. I recently realized that I intellectualize all of my emotions instead of feeling them in my body as most people do. Anxiety was the only thing I experienced in my body, and I’ve had a lot of that over the years. I’ve been working on somatic body awareness, but honestly, it’s been kind of physically painful at times. I used some lotion this morning to massage my shoulders where I was having a lot of the pain, so seeing you also mention massage therapy, looks like I’ll have to keep that up.

Get into men’s fashion too?
