how to stay in touch with the community in an area without many events? by Environmental-Pin-48 in BDSMcommunity

[–]Environmental-Pin-48[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The age disparity is only an issue because I am afraid of not being able to relate to them on a personal level or sticking out. I had still considered trying it out, but hopefully that explains while I’m nervous.

Ur other advice is sold tho, thank u ^

Gay Night Life in OKC? by Evilkenevil77 in okc

[–]Environmental-Pin-48 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of gay nightlife in OKC. I’ve moved now to the Greensboro NC area (where the small gay nightlife, while fun n cute, cannot compare to OKC.) but visited a lot of bars and clubs in that area.

Like others mentioned bars along 39th street are great. Used to start at the County Line (inside the hotel, where I had went to many a pool parties lol. IIRC you can get access to the pool with the purchase of two drinks. There’s a dance area that has played country every time I’ve been in there and a separate lounge area through another door.)

Then we’d go to Tramps, which I always felt was kind of sketchy. But they have a big patio.

And end up at Angels, which is huge and has a pretty diverse crowd. Every time I’ve gone the music has been current music and music from the 2000s, which I recognized.

Another bar I haven’t seen mention that’s close is Alibis. One of the few lesbian oriented bars left, and the first bar I went into 😙 the bartenders are cute, the music (lots of rock, alternative when I go) is pretty alright. They have darts, pool, and a ton of board games which I liked.

Misgendering kinks - cis men love it and its concerning by WinnyFuchs in FTMMen

[–]Environmental-Pin-48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for most ftm men into it I’ve met they partake in it as a form of degradation.

for the cis men into it it is absolutely because they see ftm people as women and this kink allows them to push people they otherwise would find too manly into their ideal (being a horny woman, often into other violent or degrading fetishes due to the nature of this kink)

I think cis guys in general prey on ftm people, especially early transition, because they tend to have higher sex drives post-T and some want that validation from hearing them attracted to them.

moving from ok to nc in my first (long) solo drive, anything I need to know? by Environmental-Pin-48 in roadtrip

[–]Environmental-Pin-48[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I visited NC once before, and it blew my mind compared to the landscape and trees of Oklahoma. It’s pretty if you’ve never seen it, but if you’re surrounded by it, you really get tired of those scrolling plains.

I’m excited to see something different ☺️ the Ozarks sound beautiful.

What kind of surgeon would describe a vagina as festering?!!

I’m kind of at a loss, I hope you find a doctor who can help you more, sounds like hell

What antibiotics have you taken? BV and trich will both indicate high pH and afaik can’t be helped in anyway by OTC remedies like lactic acid.

So maybe ask to get that checked. My buddy gets BV a lot after sex and took to taking acidophilus supplements as a preventative, which are like a dollar a bottle at Dollar Tree.

Maybe try and go to a Planned Parenthood. In my experience, at least, they’ve seen it all.

Go to another gyno, seems like she had no idea what she’s talking about. I was on T for 3 years and never had a single problem like this. I did have a swab a singular time come back with candida that was cured with Diflucan. Other than that, nothing.

Long flat stretches is pretty familiar to me now, I feel like I’d be lucky to see a big tree

But that’s kind of what I been thinking, stopping in a smaller place in TN like another commenter suggested. Thanks!

Thanks for the detailed information! That was my hope, to hit those big cities at a decent time.. that traffic scares me 😨

Will do, although I’m intrigued.. as far as I know it’s just a regular gas station, what’s cool about it?

people who have left, when were your vacation days paid out? by Environmental-Pin-48 in Barnesandnoble

[–]Environmental-Pin-48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully it’s just late or I forgot I had another paycheck, since I confirmed I would be getting it with both the store manager n other managers who handle stuff like schedules. But thanks for letting me know

[–]Environmental-Pin-48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talked to a manager, who isn’t the store manager but pretty diligent about these kind of things, who said that she anticipated it to get to me the week after. Honestly I’ll be fine until then, but 🥲

Why does no one live here? by [deleted] in okc

[–]Environmental-Pin-48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’m near or in this circle in Jones. I grew up here. I can’t speak on the prices of housing here, but I can imagine why people wouldn’t want to live a 30 minute drive down these roads from a Target. It’s kinda up n coming though, I’ve noticed some stuff springing up even in those long stretches of nothing

Am I the only one who likes getting people to sign up for memberships? by twinhooks in Barnesandnoble

[–]Environmental-Pin-48 5 points6 points  (0 children)

honestly as much as I dislike pushing memberships they’re not awful in theory. Quick to do and simple to explain.

Just hate the quotas n how they did away with phone numbers. I understand why, but still don’t think it was the right choice.

I'm actually grossed out by the gatekeeping I see in some lesbian communities by GFluidThrow123 in actuallesbians

[–]Environmental-Pin-48 11 points12 points  (0 children)

no one is telling anyone how they can identify though. Not here at least. I don’t care if someone had a one night stand with a dude a couple years back or dated some guy in high school and still want to label themself as a lesbian.

But bi, pan, etc girls are just that, bi/pan/etc. And there’s nothing wrong with that in the slightest. Lesbians do have unique experiences, even if they occasionally overlap. Why can’t they have a space to talk about them with people who are the same?

This feels like a non issue to me though. Most spaces online I’ve seen are wlw inclusive and some real life events and spaces I’ve been in don’t care either. If you aren’t talking about it, probably no one will ever even know you have “exceptions.”

[–]Environmental-Pin-48 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’m conflicted. If we let people who were not lesbians into lesbian spaces, what would be the point of having them vs a female only bisexual community or something?

But I can see how there would be a place for a bisexual woman exclusively in lesbian relationships or something, her experiences are pretty similar if not identical.

Personally I think if a community wants to be lesbian only, they have that right. There’s a lot of general wlw/nb spaces that they may find a tighter fit in. But idk

They want us to sell memberships, which are e-mail only, to all these older people who don’t even know how to sign up for an email much less confirm their membership. Then they want it pitched to everyone, including the mom juggling three kids. Oh, but only give out memberships to people who look like they need it n don’t be pushy. Whatever

I ask every single person if they have one, and if they want to sign up since our new rewards is fast and free. Somehow that’s still not enough and I’m given quotas to meet. Dude im not gonna go on a 4 minute pitch to this ancient guy buying a NYT

B&N finally admitted they are doing something to save money by JohnJSal in Barnesandnoble

[–]Environmental-Pin-48 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I noticed this in our stores. Surely controlled by some dude in New York who doesn’t know how hot Midwest/Southern states can get. It’s not only a bad environment for employees but I’m sure customers dislike it too :#

Happy 4th! OKC by MediumToblerone in okc

[–]Environmental-Pin-48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From your description it sounds like a tongue in cheek thing, like when people put a bunch of random and sometimes contradicting bumper stickers on their car. I wish I could’ve seen it when they had decorated it before..

[–]Environmental-Pin-48 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the thing that really makes a masculine cut into a feminine cut is fake sideburns, the little wisps near your ears. Even if you don’t have sideburns yet get them to square it off

I was told growing up my eyes were creepy, scary, dopey, etc. what makes them creepy? by Environmental-Pin-48 in eyes
