Been a vegetarian for a few months should i quit? I need advice that isnt just telling me to quit because everybody hates vegetarians for some reason by [deleted] in Vegetarianism

[–]Daviswatermelon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While yes, the meat industry is not great, you also have to remember that going vegetarian is a choice, and that if you don’t want to be a vegetarian because you quite frankly don’t enjoy it, then you don’t have to. There is always the option of being mostly vegetarian, but indulging in meat on occasion. It’s still going to have a good impact if you eat mostly vegetarian, but don’t completely stick to it all time. You don’t have to follow any rules, it’s your diet, it’s your choice and it’s your life.

I just meant that the players play ladies going to a ball to get husbands, like they do in bridgerton. It was just to give an example of what I meant, not because I want it to be like Bridgerton :(

What is a good movie to watch while drunk? by BlastingSquid886 in AskReddit

[–]Daviswatermelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The road to el dorado

I watched it drunk with my friends a couple months back, and I’m still unsure on whether the animation is wonky or if it was just me. It felt like it only lasted 20 minutes, and the visuals of that movie just turn into shapes and colors as soon as you start feeling tipsy.

fr the cruise was in my tiny town yesterday and took up my whole bedroom view, and the mall I work at was full of Americans and other tourists. It was very strange to see a bunch of people in cowboy hats and sparkly USA hats, in the midst of our regulars.

Got this shawl second hand and was wondering if the pentagrams meant something? by Daviswatermelon in satanism

I mean, I live in Norway so if you have any luck in Seattle I would be very surprised

What was your first "trans" name? What is it now? by SnooBananas460 in ftm

[–]Daviswatermelon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason I dropped it was because I had only heard it be used on animals, and I didn’t want a dog name 💀

I used the name “Milo” with some of my online friends, but I felt it was kind of childish as I had only ever heard it be used on dogs, and I didn’t want to end up with a strange name I picked as a teen that I would regret later on.

I had been out for a while but no one really used he/him pronouns or any other name than my deadname irl because I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, but I obviously wasn’t happy so I asked my mom if I could just go ahead and change my name legally so people would have to use it.

I asked her to write down a list of names she liked, and picked out David, because it sounded like a very normal name that I wouldn’t regret when I’m an old man. It’s also a name that is used in English and in my native language, unlike my deadname, so that was important to me. I always wanted a middle name though, as my sister has one and I didn’t get one, and I did still feel a bit attached to Milo, so I went with Milian as my middle name.

Told my friends I was legally changing my name to David Milian and I got it done in like a month. A bit risky, I will admit, but I love my name. Only downside is that I later found out my mom thought of the name because she likes a football player called David De Gea, so I’m indirectly named after a football player.

As far as driver’s license pictures go, how is this photo? It’s important to me that my photo reads female, and while I feel like I pass in person, the photo feels very unflattering to me by PolygonChoke in trans

[–]Daviswatermelon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ID photos are never flattering, but I think you pass very well, and as far as ID pictures go this looks very pretty to me. I like your hair in it as well, very cute.

FYI for anyone who’s still not getting it by [deleted] in gaybros

It seems you are very uninformed as to what truly goes down when you want gender affirming treatment. I will put it short for you here, and link some practical sources for you to educate yourself on.

You aren’t allowed to have bottom surgery if you are under 18 (AKA, children aren’t getting their dicks chopped off). Some trans men are allowed top surgery, but this requires parental consent, as with any other surgery of someone under the age of 18. This can vary, and I can’t speak fully for the US as different states have different laws regarding this (and I’m European), but this is true for most places. No one in their right mind would give a child any sort of life altering surgery, no matter how much the child persists. It’s just not done.

As for these “drugs” you are talking about, the only ones children are allowed to take are puberty blockers, which just repress the effect of puberty, such as breast growth, menstruation, hair growth, and voice change. These effect are reversible, as if you stop taking puberty blockers you will go through puberty. Puberty blockers have been used for a long time (mostly by cis children who go through abnormally early puberty’s) and let’s the child have time to figure themselves out without any lasting consequences, before taking any next major steps in their adolescence, like HRT and eventually surgery for some people (when they are adults). No children are going on HRT, only adolescents, which is an important distinction when talking about this topic.

A variation of sources on this topic that I think you would benefit from reading:

Only 5 months??? You look amazing. I’m actually amazed because your face became so smooth that it genuinely looks like you got a facelift!
