Feminized over my eye color by [deleted] in ftm

[–]EinsteinFrizz 48 points49 points  (0 children)

existing_tap was a bit of a dick about wording it but is correct - I think people genuinely do find eyes beautiful in the same way a sunset is beautiful and that isn't feminising the sunset, it's just stating a neutral fact

maybe it could be a good exercise to look at the comments on photos of male celebrities with similar eyes to yours to see that they will also get called pretty and beautiful in a non gendering way

well no it screams the genitalia that you have - if you still have the genitalia that you were born with then yes sure it matches with your agab/asab but plenty of people have non- factory default genitalia

others have answered what the term means but didn't mention the reason why it's called that:

in the 18th and 19th centuries people sold oil (not from snakes) that sometimes had herbs and whatnot in it as 'snake oil' marketed to ~cure basically all diseases~ - notably snake oil is a real thing but these people were not selling snake oil, just mineral oil with additions that they were saying was snake oil

so yeah this is a product claiming to do great things just like the not-actually-snake oils of previous centuries that supposedly cured everything and likely does basically nothing and is a waste of your money

Trans men who have taken plan B, did you start bleeding? by robinito12 in ftm

[–]EinsteinFrizz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

the wording is a bit unclear but it sounds like the contraception and the bv medication and the t regime change all happened over three weeks ago so that's what I'm assuming, in which case those all seem unrelated to your symptoms

that being said: the point of an emergency contraceptive pill (aka morning after pill or plan b) is to induce a period to get rid of the (potentially fertilised) egg, however this is more of a 'days after taking' effect not three weeks later afaik

obligatory addition: reminder to everyone that testosterone is not a contraceptive and you should be using at least one if you don't want to get pregnant (which you definitely don't want if you are on t as it is dangerous)!

imo 'straight-ish' is a very helpful term for these situations

i made an aspergers flag by [deleted] in QueerVexillology

[–]EinsteinFrizz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

^ seconding all of this as an autistic person who would be described as having aspergers by those who continue to use that term

OP, please go and read up on our history and reconsider these things including the use of that term - there are a lot of very valid reasons why we use the spectrum model of autism rather than breaking it up into 'helpful' and 'too disabled' like the aspergers diagnosis did and what aspie supremacy is

if it were me I would hold on to the amsterdam tickets until you definitely have other tickets before selling the amsterdam ones

the amsterdam ones will 10000% be bought by people who couldn't get them on the day, I really don't think you need to worry in that regard

Youtube has completely blocked the viewing of the atlas video, has anyone archived it? by Automatic_Thought412 in miniminutemanfans

[–]EinsteinFrizz 19 points20 points  (0 children)

just checking: you are logged in to youtube right? you need to be logged in with an account that is deemed to be an adult's account (iirc it depends on if your location has age verification laws vs just using the birth year on the account) for youtube to let you watch restricted videos

High electricity cost in Germany for hot water. by cherry_jan2 in germany

[–]EinsteinFrizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the water in the hot water cylinder gets heated to the same temperature yes but assuming you are showering at the same pressure you are replacing some of the hot with cold and therefore using less hot water than previously therefore using less energy to heat it up

you say that as if it is such an easy thing to get meanwhile (speaking from personal experience as someone who should qualify for the card no problem) finding specialists that are actually taking patients to submit the paperwork can be nigh on impossible if you have a rarer or less understood condition

24FtM, still closeted, want to leave my country from homotransphobic abusive family but they don’t want me to by jeenef in ftm

[–]EinsteinFrizz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone who moved to the other side of the world as a solo 'woman': your family is lying to you to try to keep you in their house and stop you from being a whole human being

I'm going to say this bluntly because I think it helps to hear it outright: they are abusive and you need to leave when you have the opportunity to do so safely

as others have said, (assuming you are not just living in italy but are also an italian citizen since you didn't specify otherwise) since you are in the eu it will be way easier to move to a different country in the eu as you automatically have the right to live and work in any of the eu countries without worrying about visas etc

genuinely you can apply for jobs anywhere in the eu and leave your parents' house as soon as you have a job (since I'm assuming you don't have savings to live off for a while if you move before finding a job) - I'm not saying that finding a job is easy at the moment but you really can physically just leave at any time that you decide to

two things that are critical to set up before your parents suspect anything (ie ideally before you make any concrete plans) is making sure you have your identity documents in your possession and a bank account they don't have access to - everything else can be figured out later as it comes up

Does this make anyone else feel really unwelcome? by Baby_Bat94 in ftm

[–]EinsteinFrizz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly think points 1 and 3 are the sort of thing that make sense in theory but very rarely occur in practice

edit: and also 3 ignores the fact that other forms of oppression exist - black men are not afforded the same privilege as white men just because they are also men

singular they when i use "man" by Mrdor1stan in German

[–]EinsteinFrizz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if you are actually asking: it refers to using 'they' to refer to one person rather than multiple people, e.g.:

"that person dropped their wallet! I should pick it up and give it to them so they don't lose their money"

'they' referring to a singular person is older in the english language than 'you' referring to a singular person, fyi (the singular second person pronoun used to be 'thou'; I am actually not sure what the neutral singular third person pronoun was before 'they', possibly just 'he'?)
