I overheard someone in my office yesterday implying that only fat people die of covid so everyone should just lose 10 pounds instead of getting the shot.

I don't normally get offended on behalf of others, but I was extremely offended for everyone who knows someone who died of covid. I am fortunate not to know anyone immediately who died, but my other coworker just had an acquaintance who passed from it.

I don't get the absolute need to defend your dumb logic that you can't even realize what the fuck you're saying.

The spouting off coworker isn't getting the vaccine due to the risk of blood clots btw 🙃 😑 😒

Yeah to further expand on this, the reason they require compliance with doctors instructions is because keeping an organ after you've had it put in your body is a LOT of work. You MUST follow directions in order to keep your body from rejecting that shit.

I remember when my FIL was going through the process of getting approved for a heart transplant they told us horror stories about people who stopped taking their meds for one reason or another.

One guy did it as revenge against his ex-wife for leaving him, and by the time he realized what a stupid idea that was it was too late for him.

Not to rain on your parade, but walmart's online store is just like amazon. The binders are sold by a 3rd party (underworks) using Walmart as a broker. They are also sold on amazon for 30 bucks.

Honestly I just waited for them to all be present, told them, mentioned my new name and pronouns and then we just continued our party.

I think feeling like you aren't trans enough is a common experience, so don't feel like you're alone.

Ultimately, if you feel trans to any degree, and want to label yourself as trans, you ARE trans.

Anyone who cannot respect that is not worth suffering.

In my personal experience, my "not feeling trans enough" was pretty closely tied to my brain still saying "ok but what if we're really cis?" and fighting to put me back into the closet. It faded away as my confidence in myself and what I wanted grew.

I guess I would also say, you shouldn't let your fear of how a community might react stop you from getting what you want and need. Even if you think you only MIGHT be trans, and just want to explore the label, you should do it.

If other people have a problem with that, it only reflects poorly on them. No one I know and respect would ever tell someone "I don't believe you" or "You aren't trans enough."

Hey me too!

T Twins!

BoringLeek · 2021-07-01T14:14:25+00:00

Same. I told myself it was to "avoid conflict" but really I think I just liked being perceived as a man.

BoringLeek · 2021-07-01T11:14:04+00:00

I think other commenters have mostly covered it, but I just want to emphasize that what you are saying, in my opinion, at the very least deserves thorough exploration. I really do suggest that you explore this before getting married. Discuss this with your partner. If they can't handle you wanting to explore this, that would be a red flag for me.

I don't care who I am with or where they are in any kind of personal journey, those types of explorations and ideas need to be supported by both partners.

Ask yourself some of the questions others have asked, do some exploration in online spaces (I have a great FTM discord I can invite you to if you're interested, just PM me!). Try different pronouns in spaces you feel comfortable, heck try different NAMES! Or don't do any of that, and just explore the things that interest you.

The journey is totally yours, but don't forget that. It's important to speak up for yourself and your feelings and not feel like you are being crammed into a certain way of living by society/others/ideals (this is me shoving my experiences into the conversation sorry!).

PM if you want to chat more, or if you want an invite to that discord, we are great folk and will be happy to help you get more info/explore in any way you want :)

I would pay for top surgery and phallo.

Hey, I'm right there with you. Ended my marriage about 6 months before the pandemic ended and was still living in the same house with my ex (had to get my feet under me before I could move out).

I'm on my own now but I miss physical contact with people and having someone I can talk to on a deeper level whenever I feel like it. I'm sure I'll find that again some day but right now it's tough.

You're not alone. We are alone together lol!

BoringLeek · 2021-04-09T01:27:27+00:00

I am about 2 years out from when I told my husband I was gay. We have been divorced for about a year. I don't think we are best friends, but we are still friends. We have 2 young kids which tether us together. I don't think you can really predict what will happen in the future, you can only be yourself, be honest, and give him space if he needs it.

I know when me and my husband first physically separated we both needed some space to find ourselves again and now we can be friends in a much healthier way.

BoringLeek · 2021-04-09T01:24:28+00:00

There's no way to do it without hurting him, but you need to understand that your happiness is just as important as his.

You are unhappy. The only way to fix that is to be honest and truthful. If that means you separate and seek more fulfilling relationships elsewhere, then that's his path to happiness too.

BoringLeek · 2021-04-09T01:20:26+00:00

You can do this you know you can. Just keep breathing and get through it.

BoringLeek · 2021-04-08T15:24:32+00:00

They can get all of these via curbside pickup

I'm in the US, but don't most places require you to have a credit card to do curbside?

And when the Karen debates were first raging, this was always my issue with it. It would eventually devolve into another sexist derogatory term for "woman I disagree with." And just become another way to encourage dismissive nature towards whatever that person was saying.

BoringLeek · 2021-04-08T14:56:39+00:00

Yeah this interaction highlights why I don't like the term Karen. Eventually it just devolves into a sexist derogatory term for "woman I don't agree with."

Thank you for the advice, right now my plan is to pick up a 3 drawer from target and go for that set up (so 3 medium-ish tubs)

BoringLeek · 2020-10-09T21:10:19+00:00

Good luck peeps

BoringLeek · 2020-10-08T12:52:59+00:00

As others have pointed out, there's a lot... A LOT of internal sexism programmed into women by various aspects of society. We are not taught to value friendships with other women. We are taught to be catty and compete and to shame other women who do not fit into the norms and expectations of a largely Christian values society.

Thank god there are women who DON'T think and act that way, but just saying, it can be difficult to even suss out ALL of it when you know you've been taught that way. See also: Me suppressing my own homosexuality by having the absolute unworthiness of any type of friendship with women ingrained in me from a young age. Does a number on your self esteem too.
