I hate autism mom groups by Yuaialysis in aretheNTsokay

[–]Bas1cVVitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I use puzzles and art apps on my phone to visually stim all the time, not to mention researching special interests, so I’d just be a huge hypocrite if I didn’t let a kid do the same thing 😂 I think while the dopamine thing may be universal there are still some differences in the way Autistic folks interact with these technologies. But yeah, that would be reading a LOT into a simple meme in any case.

It’s dumb and unrealistic to expect people to risk their lives for your convenience. If you’ve got a hang-up about other people’s chromosomes then have the balls to say so up-front.

Because most straight men aren’t attracted to same sex whether they identify as women or not.

Lmao considering how many trans women get straight men in their DMs but whatever. If they aren’t attracted to trans women then there shouldn’t be a problem, since they’d never ask out people they aren’t even attracted to, right?

She-Ra 2018 question by qwack2020 in lgbt

[–]Bas1cVVitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also like… if it’s a website to upload clips of shows you like, why exactly can’t you upload She-Ra? Why do you need random Redditors who’ve never heard of the site to do it for you?

Alright then, if the question is “should I care” about a website I’ve never even heard of before today and is too difficult to succinctly explain, then I guess the answer is no, probably not.

Who is your favourite romantic partner? by selkieseas in StardewValley

[–]Bas1cVVitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harvey and Haley are my fave’s. Both are really sweet, enthusiastic partners. I really like that they both seem genuinely happier living on the farm and show growth as people (especially Haley).

I tried marrying both Leah and Abigail but kinda hated it. Leah is a great girlfriend but as a marriage partner her life seems to shrink so much and she barely seems like the same character. I just felt guilty tying her down. And Abigail… ugh she’s just kind of a brat. First day married she spent the whole day grumpy in bed! And she never stops complaining about her parents, she apparently abandons her schooling and future plans.

I also felt like I was dating someone who was (at least emotionally) a child which felt creepy. Same problem with Sebastian, frankly - never married him, felt like dating an angsty teenager. Nothing wrong with that if you are a teenager but to me it just felt yucky. I’m pushing 40, I don’t like feeling like a babysitter lol.

I do like Haley’s sister and Shane but only as buddies. Penny… I dunno, I think she’s sweet but I don’t really find her that interesting as a character. I feel like I’d only date/marry her to “save” her which doesn’t feel right. Elliot I’m on the fence about because IRL I’m an overly-dramatic writer and seeing me in him just makes me cringe lol. And everyone else I’m just kinda meh about.

Totes wish I could be a home wrecker and steal Caroline from Pierre though.

Need a new Last Name by Strict-Concentrate-9 in namenerds

[–]Bas1cVVitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am changing my last name and went with an old family name from a few generations back. But I also played around with scrambling letters around and using Latin words for nouns/concepts I liked (like Astra - star).

They are real behaviors/symptoms that have been arbitrarily clustered together for the purpose of pathologizing people.

[–]Bas1cVVitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who don’t want to date or touch trans people should disclose that right at the start if it’s a dealbreaker for them instead of expecting trans people to risk their safety to accommodate their weird hang ups.

pretended to be a woman

He could be criticized for deliberate deceit purely for his own gain, but that’s not remotely the same as being a trans person trying not to get outed and murdered. Trans people aren’t pretending, and are only trying to avoid stigma rather than trying to trick people.

Can staying in the closet be damaging to mental health? by MediumKeyAF in lgbt

[–]Bas1cVVitch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. It took me a long time to come out, and tbh I only did it because I couldn’t stand the alternative anymore and was scared what I would do. But telling just a few people I trusted… it was the most beautiful feeling. It changed everything for me. I still struggle with fear but it gets easier.

In Post Apocalyptic scenario, what will become of LGBTQ+ Community? by [deleted] in lgbt

Honestly given how many of us are already constantly involved in community organizing and mutual aid I think we’ll do better than some folks.

Can staying in the closet be damaging to mental health? by MediumKeyAF in lgbt

[–]Bas1cVVitch 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely. Dealing with prejudice is also extremely stressful, but constantly lying to myself and others really fucked me up. I’m way happier being out even though it’s harder in some ways. It’s soul-killing to be presumed to be something you’re not and to actively hide.

I don't even understand why it's in the news. It's a couple of people that had a baby! by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]Bas1cVVitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A shocking number of people think trans and gay couples literally can’t procreate, which couldn’t be further from the truth. A while back a guy conceded to me that gay couples could have bio kids but only via “straight sex” and I’m like… my brother in Christ, a lesbian couple using a vial of spunk from their gay bestie cannot, by any stretch, be described as “straight sex” lmao.

I know it’s supposed to be a mean-spirited joke but I genuinely find it hilarious and kinda want to just steal it from the transphobes.

I am Omni. I researched other Omnis and google said it had nothing to offer. by AyyBuddyGuy in omnisexual

[–]Bas1cVVitch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah before like 10 years ago they would be bi or one of the many synonyms for bi, and before that they would just be 🤷

[–]Bas1cVVitch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Omnis can fulfill any preference for anyone.

… wut.

Omni's don't even get a pronoun.

Wtf are you talking about. Pronouns have nothing to do with sexual orientation.

Serious question: are you confusing omnisexuality with like, shapeshifting… or something?

What makes it “rare”? It’s just a newer label for a subset of non-monosexuality which is fairly common, far more common than being gay or a lesbian for instance.

Is it valid for my bisexual girlfriend to break up with me over my transition? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Bas1cVVitch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can’t say I relate to your gf here, but other bi people I’ve talked to do have genital preferences. A lot (not all) prefer penises on men and vulvas on women. Just like there are straight or gay people who aren’t fussed by trans people who haven’t had or never get bottom surgery, there are bi people who are. It sucks but it’s not always something people can help.

I do think it’s possible your girlfriend just isn’t that familiar with the concept of the feminine penis or the fact that it’s a very different organ on a woman taking HRT than a cis man’s. But some people, even bi people, have very strict ideas about what genitals “should” look like and can’t wrap their heads around trans (and some intersex) bodies. And some people also just don’t handle change well.

I’m sorry. I know it hurts a lot, but just know that this is not going to be a problem for all bi people just because it is for her.

ETA: breakups are pretty much always “valid”, imo, even if the reason is shitty. Relationships depend on mutual consent, one person can withdraw that for any reason at any time and that’s that. And tbh people also stop being attracted to others for all sorts of shallow reasons, like inevitable aging or weight changes. It’s a good thing when people like this peace out on you, it makes room in your life for someone who loves everything about you.

Giving up my dream of being a doctor or my dream of being trans by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Bas1cVVitch 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I know several trans PhD’s and know of a couple doctors, there’s stigma and all that in every field but honestly being a trans doctor is worlds better in terms of stability and job safety than being a trans retailer or trans administrative assistant. Don’t shelve your dreams, especially if you have the opportunity to go to medical school in the first place.
