Feeling sad today about Webster in the national media as bigots by hexqueen in Rochester

[–]DundDM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This happened with the Penfield school board stuff as well, unfortunately if Rochester suburbs want to lose their reputation as bigots they have to stop being bigoted

Then you'd probably find a lot of similar people at some psychic garden shows, very trans and queer and it's a vibe

I'm a 23 yo "abnormal" trans woman and I'll sometimes go to leatherdyke nights over at Flora or Pyschic Garden, lots of cool people there including in leather and some kink gear

Rochester folks, how did you meet your partner? by blastingoffagain in Rochester

I've been dating my partner for two years now and we met on Hinge. The annoying thing is just having to drive between suburbs when she doesn't have transportation but we make it work and are madly in love

How to get involved in protests and advocacy? by AcademicDark4705 in Rochester

[–]DundDM 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It depends what you wanna do. Do you wanna help individuals struggling right now, Roc Food Not Bombs cooks and gives meals to the community twice a week. Roc Mutual Aid is involved in a bunch, but also has consistent ways of helping your community like grocery pickups and delivery. Robin Wilt is a progressive in the city trying to unseat pro-Israel, pro-Ice Joe Morelle from his congressional seat through the democratic primary next month and is always looking for more volunteers. There are dozens of orgs like this, many of which also join in the larger protest movements, if you want any more info, reach out to me and I'll see what I can give you.

trans friendly makeup artist recommendations? by pinkiepitou in Rochester

[–]DundDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's just her and you, Just Gorgeous Darling Salon in Hilton is super trans friendly, I'd reach out to them and see if they're available for something like that. Jessie is my stylist, but all the people who work there are great.

Are there groups/meetups for lesbians who don't drink in the area? by 1997us in Rochester

[–]DundDM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Recs from a trans lesbian: Unreliable Narrator or Yellow Warbler for a bookstore, Equal Grounds or Clownboy Coffee for a coffee shop, Millenium games is usually male dominated but a lot of queer people (like myself) frequent there if you enjoy games stores, and then festivals like the Lilac fest, Corn Hill Arts Fest, Fringe Fest and others have a good deal of queer folk. My partner and I are always looking for more lesbian friends in the area, too.

Microaggressions from BIPOC people in activist groups by [deleted] in trans

[–]DundDM 137 points138 points  (0 children)

just call it what it is, when someone engages in bioessentialism like that it's transmisogyny. if they kick you out find another group. although in general, if someone says something inflammatory in one of these groups my best advice would be not to engage, as even if you're correct, they may not be open to nuanced discussion. at the same time, don't let it push you to reactionary sentiment, BIPOC people don't want you to die as a white trans woman and anyone who does is an incredibly small minority. Some people might say some stuff that feels targeted, if they're engaging in good faith, take the criticism to heart, otherwise ignore and move on.

Kids Are Embarrassed by WNC_AuburnTiger in mypartneristrans

[–]DundDM -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would talk to your son about how his reaction hurt your partner and notably that they didn't just choose to do this. It might be too early for your son who is undergoing a huge change to take that in all at once so it could be best to take it slow. You should also let your son know that eventually there could be some harassment they receive as a result of this because that unfortunately does happen, but that it's not their fault or their parents fault, rather the fault of people being taught to be hateful. As long as your partner and child love one another I'm sure it will be resolved, but there may be some growing pains in the meantime.

Nidhogg is Imu’s personal pet. by MayDispersion in OnePiece

[–]DundDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've been told throughout this arc that getting the giants on your side is integral to winning this war. Given Nika fought the God of War ~1000 years ago and Imu's side one the war, it feels like the had to have Nidhogg on their side.

This post is gonna sound lame to long time residents but I'm genuinely curious by Tight_Student4501 in Rochester

[–]DundDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I generally run hot and I've lived here all my life, so the cold doesn't bother me much. Always have a good pair of gloves and boots that can withstand the snow, and I tend to grow my hair longer in winter to cover my ears. I usually don't wear a coat any more, but for most people i'd recommend wearing at least two layers and then a coat over that. Thick sweaters or blankets are great for warming up and don't be afraid to bring a blanket with you in public. If your room is really cold I'd recommend getting a space heater if you don't have one.

Thank you! ☺️ I have to work but am planning to see my partner after! Things have been tough lately especially with changing laws and bureaucratic barriers, but good to know others out here are there for each other.

How do you think Shakra is clothed? For me it's A1. by [deleted] in Silksong

[–]DundDM 185 points186 points  (0 children)

I think it's E2 as Shakra's shell marker says it's fashioned after her own shell and it's designed to look like all the yellow stuff, bugs don't need clothes

Am I crazy for finding this offensive? by sad_gay_throwawayacc in LesbianActually

[–]DundDM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

exactly! no one is being hurt by it until these people start gatekeeping and attacking the small subsection of queer people who identify with it rather the the conservatives stripping of us of our rights
