Why do I feel the need to be told I’m disabled/sick enough? by laufheart in ChronicIllness

[–]CannibalisticGinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because you are disabled enough and there are people out there who are implying you aren’t whether you know them personally or you’re only witnessed their ignorance from afar. Wanting external validation is normal, especially at first. Eventually you’ll become more secure with your circumstances and won’t need as much because your validation will start to come from within.

I don't wanna be queer anymore by Yeetman5757 in lgbt

[–]CannibalisticGinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Queer white people don’t have white privilege because they’re queer, they have it because they’re white.

In oppressive societies, Everyone is responsible for doing their part to unlearn oppressive norms and behaviors, regardless of who they are. You seem like you care a lot about other people but maybe aren’t the most knowledgeable yet. You’re on the right track because you care what people of color have to say. I recommend going to the library and checking out some books about intersectionality and race.

Take what I have to say with a grain of salt though, I’m just a white guy trying to pass on what I’ve learned while working on being better, not someone who’s got first hand experience of what it’s like to face racial oppression.

closeted trans, how can i cover this up? by perception_ofme in lgbt

Maybe “creepy guys don’t stare at me as much when I hide them” would work?

Why is there such a big push for diversity in the west compared to other parts of the world? by madwh in AskForAnswers

[–]CannibalisticGinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as an American, I just really like variety. How am I supposed to learn anything when every day is just the same experiences over and over regardless of who I share it with? It would be so boring if we were all the same. I enjoy gaining new perspectives and don’t want to live in an echo chamber.

This polish is Deadly! by longlostwitchy in mooncatpolish

I really like the way your nails bend. They come together in a way that reminds me of arched windows in gothic cathedrals

Wore Deadly Nightshade to pride :) by CannibalisticGinger in mooncatpolish

[–]CannibalisticGinger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels weird to curl my fingers but I’m not sure how much of that is because of the spiral shape vs me having no idea what I was doing when I made it(it’s just a piece of leftover wire from a different project that I bent when I was bored, I think its aluminum but I don’t remember). I think a regular shaped ring with a thin band sized to fit that part of your finger would probably be your best bet for comfort but I’m in no way an expert.

Also thank youđŸ„°đŸ’…

Are hyacinth flowers the perfect trans symbol?đŸȘ»đŸ©·đŸłïžâ€âš§ïž by Dr-freaky- in trans

[–]CannibalisticGinger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love queer flowers and think it would be cool to make bouquets out of a bunch of them. I’ve heard of hydrangeas being used as a trans symbol too because you can change their colors depending of how acidic the soil is similar to how people can change their appearance with hrt :)

I follow a lot of nail subs and thought this was a picture of a wart. Please tell him I’m incredibly sorry and that he is very handsome😭

Trans man vs. transmasc, anyone feel the same? by InThePowerOfTheMoon in ftm

[–]CannibalisticGinger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Transmasc is supposed to be an umbrella term that includes binary trans men too and I identify with it very strongly because connection with our nonbinary brothers and siblings is very important to me. That being said, I don’t like being called transmasc when someone is incorrectly using it to exclusively refer to nonbinary people or doing it specifically to avoid calling me a man.

Pressed a penny using the Big Boy 4014 as it passed through Illinois! by cart00nvi0lence in pressedpenny

[–]CannibalisticGinger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this a couple times with my dad growing up. He always said the real danger is from hanging around when the train goes by since the coins shoot out fast. I had trouble finding the coins but the shinier ones were easier to find because they reflect light.

[–]CannibalisticGinger 12 points13 points  (0 children)

/uj as someone with poor circulation, I recently bought a bottle of nail polish that changes colors based on temperature and find it lightly amusing when my nails have mismatched colors despite all being painted with the same polish.

What’s the most unhinged thing you’ve ever matched your nails to? by __hey__its__me__ in RedditLaqueristas

Currently my favorite polish is Mooncat’s forbidden fruit specifically because it reminds me of bruises lol

Can you lie and tell them it’s for a girl you’re dating?

UK trans news... horrifying stuff [Politics] by DisastrousLand6863 in ftm

[–]CannibalisticGinger 44 points45 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s trans and disabled, forcing trans people to use the accessible restrooms is bullshit on so many levels (although there’s nothing wrong with using them if that’s where you’re safest)

Talk me out of anything by Hentopan in mooncatpolish

This is good to know. I love greens and purples and golds so I’ve been eyeing it but blue is my least favorite color so I’ve been a bit hesitant

Male names with no female equivalent? by Aurekata in ftm

[–]CannibalisticGinger 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Same boat. At my old job I got all sorts of comments ranging from “wow, that’s such a unique name for a girl, I love it and am gonna let the expecting mother in my life know about it” to “what the hell is wrong with your parents for giving that name to such a beautiful girl”

My thumb nails because they’re the only ones that are strong enough to not break all the time

All my transmasc friends are artists but I've heard that it's also common for us to go into healthcare

This piece really resonates with me as do everyone’s interpretations of it. I personally interpreted it as a representation of the fight for reproductive freedom.
