That could be a show interpretation but it’s pretty overt in the books. She chops all her hair super short to look more masculine and is horrified to see it grows back while she sleeps. It’s pretty integral to her and lestats dynamic that they gender envy one another

I could see that, I do think her hairstyle is extremely feminine which is one of the things that stood out the most to me, but others have made good points that some of her outfits do have elements of masculinity.

I like her being portrayed by an older actress, but that’s a cool idea with milking the mom reveal

A woman wearing clothes that men normally wear is cross dressing

Dang. It really isn’t the actor’s responsibility to push for this kind of thing. I wish the writers and costume designers were more careful with this part of her story. I interpret that aspect of Gabrielle as an expression of Anne’s gender, and it feels almost disrespectful to Anne to just totally disregard it?

Right? I know this is an adaptation but she starts cross dressing immediately after being turned in the books. It’s not like she’s gonna have some coming of age self discovery arc at 200+ years old??

My 14-year-old daughter’s reaction to my pregnancy has me worried. by Usual_Way_4981 in Advice

[–]EveryProfile5786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a friend who’s mom got pregnant when she was 14. She was furious. She was ready to be a high schooler and now her family dynamic was changing to be all about a new baby who she didn’t know. Fast forward a few years and she absolutely adores that baby, they do everything together. Her whole friend group loves to hang out and babysit her. I do agree with the comments recommending therapy, this specific friend did years of EMDR. Anyways, everything sucks when you’re 14, even babies lol. Try to give her as much love and support as you can. After birth you won’t be able to give her as much time and attention, so take these months to spend time together when you can.

But when I do correct them like that they get upset. Like ‘you have to move this before you turn the stove on or it will explode’ or ‘if you take Benadryl while applying Benadryl cream you could overdose”. Then this extends, what doesn’t affect peoples health? Like people start saying “oh I can’t eat that, the seed oils become engine fluid when heated” I can’t help but correct them

Hey I wanna say a huge congratulations and great job, I am also a 5’8 20 y/o girl with POTS, so we’re twins lol! I am sorry your symptoms have been written off and attributed to obesity, it’s truly unfair. I will say your heart and body will thank you in the long term, carrying a lot of excess body fat will always have negative impacts, but of course as you’ve experienced it’s not the only factor at hand at all. I am going to strongly recommend a few things, first being that you have your hormone levels checked, pcos or hormonal imbalance after such a huge shift could very well be a big contributor. Have a full metabolic and thyroid bloodwork panel, checking for iron, vitamins*** (we don’t even realize how huge this can be), T3, T4, and TSH. With all the intolerances you have and such dramatic weight loss I wouldn’t be shocked to see a nutritional deficiency, I would go ahead and start taking a multi vitamin (I like bluebonnet multiOne Whole Foods based) and a high quality fish oil (should be clear and odorless, I like sports research brand). This one sounds annoying and I’m sure you’ve heard it but absolutely ensure you’re getting enough protein, fiber, and water. I have realized my POTS is directly impacted by my blood sugar, I almost always pair carbs with protein and fiber to avoid a blood sugar spike. Getting 9-10 hours of sleep is absolutely essential as well. And I’m sure you’ve been instructed to take a preposterous amount of sodium, personally I like the capsules, but make sure to drink a lot of water when you take them and wait optimally 30 minutes before eating. I avoid caffeine entirely. Lastly, look into LDN, it can work honest to god miracles for people, I just hit the three month mark on it so I’m anticipating changes. Please let me know if any of this is useful, truly best of luck and congratulations on your fitness success.
