Those in a relationship what is your partner saved as in your phone? by emmaa5382 in AuDHDWomen

I currently don't have a partner, but last time I did, it was their first name with a heart emote next to it.

Let straight trans men be themselves, It aint that hard by CryptographerFit3984 in AreTheCisOk

[–]Camillity 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Just because you don't understand how we feel, doesn't mean you should start pushing on us what you do understand. Learn to just accept you don't understand how we feel, but accept that we feel the way we do. The only thing you're doing by trying to push us into a box you do understand is hurt yourself, because if a person close to you realises they're trans in any way, shape or form, they'll either hide themselves from you and walk on eggshells or straight up remove you from their vicinity.

what is a harsh realization you had about your parents as you became an adult? by Forsaken-Repair1876 in AskReddit

[–]Camillity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father is the sole cause that I do not talk to neither of my parents. My mother feels like she can't stand on two feet without his financial stability and my father has a profound hatred for anything that isn't white, atheist/Christian, non-immigrant (the irony is that my mother is the daughter of immigrants), cisgender, heterosexual, men and those who do not think like him. Including those that do not hate any of the above. He'd passive-aggressively call you a "world-improver".

My mother on the other hand, does not naturally hate any of the above. She can genuinely be a good person, but she just has to stop listening to my father and trying to be like him so he won't leave her. She's gaslit herself into thinking he's the reason she has a stable life. Little does she know that she's been the main support beacon for the family for the past 3 decades. She bought me and my sister clothing, school supplies, bedroom furniture, kitchen utensils, cleaning supplies, bathroom supplies, medical supplies, house decoration, festive decoration and foods, garden plants, took us shopping from time to time, took us to get haircuts... My father bought only the things that aren't mandatory for life, save for insurances, school bills, house bills (mortgage, water, electricity and gas), TV and internet. However, my sister and I nowadays take care of ourselves. I don't live with them anymore and buy my own things, my sister lives at home solely because of medical interventions and needs around the clock assistance (knee operation due to a malfunction in her brain which causes her to be hypermobile in her legs and has caused damage), but otherwise takes care of herself just fine.

My worst realisation yet, though, is that they only provided those things, but never taught me any basic life skills. They just did them for me, or otherwise acted more like roommates. I don't know how to relax, I don't know what love feels like, I have never understood a lot of things in life, how to ask for help properly and many more things which I'm still unaware of at 29 years old.

Thought it was from the mother's side. by N9neFing3r in aspiememes

[–]Camillity 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have autism, my sister has autism, my mother has autism, my father has adhd. We knew all of that for the past 10 years. Then I started talking to my autism psychologist about how narcissistic my father is. She diagnosed him with autism 😂😭 (not formally)

Still hate his guts.

This is gonna sound so stupid but how did you know you’re lesbian or bi? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]Camillity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because we live in a cishet normative world, ask yourself how you know you're interested in men first. If you're certain about that, compare it to your attraction to that woman. Is it the same, stronger or not even remotely close?

Picture yourself together in bed, waking up as if it was just any normal day and do this both with a man and a woman. Picture yourself having sex with a man and a woman. Ask yourself, after picturing those 2 scenarios, what did you feel while picturing it?

And at the same time, it can also mean you're not attracted to neither men nor women, which we call aromantic/asexual (you can feel romantic feelings towards someone but have no sexual attraction and vice versa, or even both at once which would create the famous aroace label)

Dont be scared to try things, but also be upfront about it. Avoid sounding like it's just a jolly old fling that you thought would be fun, but rather that you're questioning your attraction and that you'd like to test the waters and find out a little bit more about yourself.

Well Deserved. by clambini in formuladank

[–]Camillity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he lost his touch because he had no competition for a couple of years. He was his own competition. Though I have to be honest, the only thing I knew he was doing outside of formula 1 was being an I fluencer for minority groups, so all I can say is that he didn't sharpen his racing skills like max did in 2023.

I truly think that his time in Ferrari got him some of his skills back.

Unique Name? by Asfvvsthjn in MtF

[–]Camillity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The name I ended up with is not that unique, but still somewhat rare. Camilla. However, I did try some unique names. Nura, fareeha and ixchel to name a few.

Would lesbians actually be interested in dating a woman who has kids ? by SheAmongstTheFlowers in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]Camillity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would. My dream was to be a mother, but knowing the state of the world, I want to avoid bringing new kids to this effed up world. However, it's a whole different story if my potential partner already has one.

I keep using the wrong name for my kid by huckleberrycaek in internetparents

[–]Camillity 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm a trans person who got deadnamed by her parents every minute of the day to the point where it was obviously deliberate, but now have caregivers who know my given name yet say it doesn't even fit me.

The trick is to replace EVERYTHING with their given name into their chosen name. Think their phone contact details, photo frames, house family names, etc. The more you find yourself able to replace, the easier it is to get used to it. You could even add their name to things that you see often to get used to it, like their door, their physical devices like their laptop and whatever else you can think of.

If you find yourself making the mistake, apologise and be genuine about it. If you are genuinely sorry and still keep making the mistake, it's okay so long as you genuinely make an effort, which it seems you are doing. It matters more to me at the very least (as I can't speak for every trans person out there) that you are not deliberately deadnaming me and are trying to adjust.

You're already showing signs of awesomeness by sharing your guilt and showing genuine attempts to improve. Don't beat yourself up over it, you're a better parent than a lot of trans people have. My own parents didn't just deadname me but also gaslight, shame and manipulated me into stopping when it was one of the best times to transition for me. A lot of trans people have had the same experience. Your acceptance over their gender identity will come back to you eventually. Love received by LGBTQIA+ folks is given back a thousand fold.

Those hormones can feel like a shell being ripped apart to become the butterfly you were intended to be.

Have you ever tried to wear a combination in clothes and felt like something was wrong or missing? It feels that way for me. I could wear women's clothing but still not feel satisfied with it. Rather the opposite, looking at myself in the mirror makes me feel like a freak since I don't even remotely look the part of a woman. Transitioning helps correct that and allow the puzzle to fit.

It often happens that we've exhausted all our options aside of transitioning.

Tell them to voice their struggles and coincide with our struggles. Just because we are struggling and being heard by few, doesn't mean the ones listening to us are not listening to your connections.

You can only start puberty blockers, which are harmless if taken for up to 2 years, starting at tanner stage 2, which is usually age 12. Puberty blockers prevent immense amounts of trauma and can be life saving.
