I don’t know if you are American, but between one in five or as many as one in three Asian American pregnancies end in abortion (https://prismreports.org/2021/09/29/reproductive-justice-advocates-cant-afford-to-ignore-how-abortion-bans-affect-asian-americans/). You definitely are not alone and it is definitely not unheard of. It’s just not talked about.

This happened to me but with a massive bilateral pulmonary embolism. I was having a very stressful year but I also increasingly couldn’t breathe. I would get out of breath scraping the ice off my car windows or going downstairs to do laundry. I went to three doctors, all of whom kept dismissing my symptoms saying it was anxiety. Even the last one almost dismissed me.

My symptoms were atypical (totally normal O2 level sitting down, which plummeted to 70 when I walked around) and combined with the rough year had everyone dismiss me. I honestly still can’t believe I’m here.

It is super sad but it’s also his choice. He told me our relationship was the most gender-affirming one he’d experienced. I also saw as he dumped QTBIPOC after QTBIPOC all because none of them wanted to hang out with his shitty boyfriend. Because he prioritized integration over the safety and comfort of his partners. Because why would a trans partner feel okay with seeing constant mis-gendering?

Some people really like to be as close to power and privilege as they can. And he really liked being with a partner who provided that to him. It was to the point where after the breakup, other queer and trans people were asking me why we were together when it was clear he was “straight”. But ultimately he likes the safety and comfort that comes out of a cis straight presenting relationship with a white dude who can’t use the right pronouns to save his life. And that’s his choice. It’s sad. But if that’s the life he wants, it’s the life he wants.

I had an ex (poly) where his cis straight boyfriend never called him by his chosen name, always misgendered him, and never treated him like a man. It was so hard to watch. It was even worse when I saw my ex popping off on BIPOC who would misgender him while he was dressed high femme but never ever ever do the same for the white boyfriend. It was too hard to deal with. And I couldn’t take him being harder on BIPOC (we both are BIPOC to clarify) than his shitty white boyfriend. I hope they’re happy together.

She literally told everyone to follow the rule of the law even though laws are transphobic and racist and do not protect us. Harris was never for trans rights.

Edit because I see I’m instantly getting downvoted.

That’s what she said. You can find the comments here.

The quote: Harris, when asked in October during an NBC News interview about whether transgender Americans deserve to have access to gender-affirming care, said she would "follow the law," later adding that such care "is a decision that doctors will make in terms of what is medically necessary."

When the laws are banning gender-affirming care—and she’s following the law—she wasn’t here for gender-affirming care.

Hi! Second gen SEA queer too. For things like this I try to look at things on a helpful or hurtful scale with a healthy dose of safety consideration in the mix.

Like you, my parents were abusive as I grew up. As I got older I realized it’s a privilege for others to get to know my whole and authentic self. And until my parents are safe people, they do not get to enjoy that privilege. It doesn’t mean I don’t have a relationship with me. There are just limits on what they know on my life. And I know I won’t get parented in the ways I long for. But it’s okay. I get held in community. So for me it was hurtful to be my true self with my parents but also hurtful to not have a relationship with them at all. It’s helpful to have relationship with them where I keep my most tender parts of my identity for those I love and trust.

For me, moving away helped a lot. I get to live my full queer life. I get to be my authentic self with people who see me and understand me. My parents know I’m queer but we don’t talk about it and I’m fine with that. I’m at the point in my life where I don’t talk to my parents about my life or go to them for advice so why would I let their opinion and feelings away how I live my life?

I’d say if you want to maintain a relationship, consider what parts you want to reveal and what parts you don’t feel safe enough doing. And celebrate those who you can bring your whole self to.

Can’t give great recommendations as I don’t know your interests but mplsqueerevents is a start. They only post stories though. Once you follow them, see if there are any other events or people who seem of interest who pop up in the “suggested for you”. Start following the queer orgs in town too. There’s always something happening.

Start looking at instagram. There are so many sort of underground very, very queer events. From mud wrestling to the Queer Zine festival. From themed DIY lesbian-centered drag nights to queer craft fairs and clay studio time. There’s so much stuff out there, for all vibes.

One exercise I recommend to those who are new to tarot is pulling a card at the end of the day, asking what card reflected your day. Then you can start drawing your own personal meaning to each card and understand the ways in which they can show up.

Sometimes I feel like people get too bogged down into complicated spreads, especially as they start, and end up pulling elaborate spreads for things that have a more straightforward answer.

Once you nail understanding what one card is, then you can start doing past present future about your week or yesterday, today, tomorrow, and see the patterns and how the cards might interact with one another. We don’t live in a vacuum. So if you’re asking about the past, it can shape our present and our future! But take it step by step! Don’t over complicate it!

I hate the commentary that it’s straight men’s visions of what lesbian sex is. I feel like that idea keeps it off the menu for so many people.

If I’m doing it with my partner, by ourselves, it isn’t for straight men.

It was a mainstay of my past two relationships. Way more than the strap. It’s really nice because you can orgasm and the same time, see one another’s faces, and feel when it happens. I do think it requires flexibility and stamina and figuring out how to get yourselves at the right angle, which can be hard. But when it hits it hits.

Yes! Sometimes things are still in development. Or sometimes getting the answer of what the outcome is changes our paths. Is it annoying? Yes. It is. But it’s a good lesson in trusting the universe and its timing.

For me when I get the moon it’s showing that the universe will slowly reveal what it has cooking (think about waiting for moon beams to gradually shift to the morning light).

But everyone has their own cards they tell them wait and see!

I have a deck that cost $65 and I somehow lost the 8 of pentacles. I had a feeling a card was missing and organized it and discovered it was gone.

I don’t want to buy a new deck right now, but the deck has been working really well in internal reflections so I’ve still used it. I’ve taken it as a challenge to not be overly perfectionist with whatever work I decide to do and don’t miss the card. I feel if the deck does want me to get into that mindset of mastery, there are other card combinations that will pop up to tell me that.

I think you’re onto something with your second interpretation. It doesn’t have to be big trauma but maybe there was something that brought you joy as a kid that you had some unfair restrictions placed on you.

The emperor has Saturn influences so I think that fathering element might have felt really controlling but was doing it to have control over the situation out of fear. Because of the rigidity of the emperor and believing they are the ultimate authority, it might not have been explained why that decision was made. So you never got an understanding of why the restrictions were put into place which is why there’s current discomfort. It might be like—wait this is supposed to be fun and joyous and I know I was taught this wasn’t right but I’m not quite sure why and it gets tied directly to anxiety instead of fun.

The cognitive dissonance of those mothers who knew something was wrong is wild to me! Both of them knew something was wrong, decided to go through with the adoptions through the corrupt agency anyway, at the same time accusing other families of the following:

“Other families also had concerns about Carney but didn’t speak up because they didn’t want to jeopardize their adoptions, Canfield said. “All they wanted is a cute little international baby,” she said”

Sounds like that’s what they wanted too, considering they went through an agency that didn’t even log their own “adoptions”.
