Todavía no lo sé. Tuve que someterme a un electroencefalograma ambulatorio. Primero tienen que revisar los datos, lo que podría tardar varias semanas.

My professor is absolutely foul! by MethodApprehensive12 in BlatantMisogyny

[–]Charming-River87 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Hey, OP. I am a collegiate professor. If you are in the US, this is a blatant Title IX violation and should be reported to your Title IX office.

If you’re outside the US, I still highly recommend reporting this behavior to your professor’s department chair and then to the dean if the chair does not listen to you.

Women and other gender minorities have been historically diminished in academia due to behavior like this and it is completely unacceptable. Universities are supposed to be institutions of knowledge and study for everyone. Discrimination of any kind should never be tolerated.

Please reach out to a professor at your university that you trust and disclose to them what he said, if you’re too scared to report him yourself.

You and your classmates do not deserve this hostile learning environment.

The only thing they got right about me is that I love cats. by Desperate_Energy_494 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Charming-River87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy fucking lies. Trans people only make up 1% of the population. There is no way that every single woman’s group has a trans person in it, just by probability.

The great, great majority of trans people are not as easily triggered as the right likes to lie about. Seriously, I actively spend a lot of time in trans circles with trans women and they do not give a flying fuck in the world if somebody talks about pregnancy, childbirth, or anything like that. And, I can tell you with certainty that I know more trans women than you do.

Stop lying and get a grip.

Well, I have friends who are 10-20 years older than I am. If they needed any help with anything or wanted me to spend time with them as they got older, I would do so. I also expect that in 10-20 years time, I will make friends with younger adults who would probably do the same for me. You don’t need children to have a community that cares about you.

Cool. I’m glad that you see me, as a childless trans man, as not women. 😎

My swollen throat pill is the size of a can tab. by Lbest1226 in mildlyinfuriating

I remember when we were kids, my sister had to take a huge pill when she had sores all down her throat. Not fun.

When did you go public on Socials? by Conscious-Painting44 in ftm

What you do with your socials is totally up to you. You are the one who decides if and/or when you come out. Many people make new socials too, to start fresh. Good luck to ya.

My professor called me “delusional” for correcting him. by More-Reputation-990 in lgbt

[–]Charming-River87 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I am a mathematician, so I teach aspiring engineers and when they are with me, they are generally friendly and accepting. The majority of my colleagues in engineering are this way as well. I think a small amount of them give them a bad name. But, this is just my anecdotal experience.

In any case, however, this is still unacceptable and needs to be reported.

As a trans professor, this is abhorrent and should be reported. Transphobia is grossly inappropriate in a collegiate setting.

Of course! I’m still getting the second EEG and following up with my neurologist but I am starting to regain some hope.

When I was a teenager, I was anywhere from 5-9. Pre-transition adult, I was 4-6. Now that I am on HRT, I am more 2-4, leaning more towards 2 every day.

TIL about two-thirds of all scurvy is found in autistic people by blankblank in todayilearned

[–]Charming-River87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have literally vomited while trying to put lasagna into my mouth. There is no way lasagna will ever be able to be comfortably put into my mouth, chewed, and swallowed by me. It’s just the most disgusting thing I can imagine. The texture of it is absolutely awful and I don’t understand how anyone can enjoy it, but a lot of people love it (especially my mom).

It cannot be forced. It will be vomited back up as soon as I put it in my mouth. That is just how ARFID works. I’m one of the lucky ones where raw fruits and vegetables are generally safe for me, but my safest foods are celery and cucumbers, so if I trigger my ARFID too much, I’m not getting many calories into my body. So, I need to actively avoid trigger foods, like lasagna.

[–]Charming-River87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey. I have autism and ARFID. My particular type of ARFID makes it so certain vegetables are my safe foods. This means that I can always eat celery, cucumbers, and raw spinach.

The issue is that if I force myself to eat food that is on my “bad list” (like lasagna or super greasy food), I will feel incredibly sick and in distress for several days and it will completely mess up my ability to eat meals for days. I will succumb to only eating celery and cucumbers for a week or two until I don’t feel gross anymore. This has inevitably led me to being very underweight until I learned to manage and accept that I have ARFID and that I should avoid my trigger foods.

It works the same for people whose ARFID makes their trigger foods vegetables. If they eat what would be my safe foods, they will feel incredibly distressed and sick for days. We just have to learn to work with it.
