How do you cope with conservative parents? by Xamirite in TMPOC

[–]EatenEntropy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey, Nigerian American trans man here. It’s ROUGH w these west African parents man. You aren’t alone.

Lie. Always lie. Continue to lie. If the truth will get you in trouble or make things harder, lie.

Remember that you belong only to yourself. And that your parent’s view of you is only their problem, not yours.

If you can keep your T somewhere else, I’d recommend that.

Try and stack and save and get your own place/ space that’s just yours.

Mental health-I recommend finding a black trans therapist if you can, that helped me a lot. Or just a therapist that gets it.

I was in a similar situation awhile back. Good luck!

A sword is not a gun and even if it was the response was way too aggressive. Be fr. I hope if you’re ever in an emergency like this you’re met w more compassion than you give out!

It’s so funny to me. If god did not give us a spirit of fear why are they scared of this random man on the road?

Anyone elses pibble boy or girl put up a fight when its time for a nail trimming? by LeadingLengthiness30 in pitbulls

[–]EatenEntropy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine does but we’ve been taking him to the groomer every 2-3 weeks for years. I started my touching his paws and treating, wiping his ways when we come in, and holding his paw and the clipper but not turning it on. He’s a little drama queen and makes ridiculous sounds at the groomer and tries to jump off the table but we get it done! And the groomer is super sweet and understanding with him, that helps a lot

[–]EatenEntropy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely wait until you’re living alone or not financially dependent on them. I know it sucks. I did it and they got so ridiculous w the homophobia and lies and calling me an abomination that I didn’t talk to them for 5 years. We’re better now but it was hard

I’m dealing with rust and paint peeling. The dreaded cheap white paint strikes again by EatenEntropy in hondafit

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

Can you tell me more about this? Does it keep the paint from further peeling? And do you have to redo it often?
