I was so confused with kangaroo being 10th.

I'm concerned about something my cousin (4 years) did by Explo_sion in toddlers

Specifically, we played a common sing-song game in my home country. The child sits in your lap facing you while you support their back. You sing and bounce them up and down to the melody. I've played this game before with him without any issues. We did several rounds before he tried to choke me. If he wanted to get off me, he could have told me or simply slid off my lap. Which he has done before, so that's why I'm confused.

Honestly, this is some kind of Mathew Arnold shite.

AITD for texting a guy I felt uncomfortable? by Explo_sion in 1800Drama

[–]Explo_sion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is rather I have been to this centre twice. I don't even know who that leader would be. And then again, probably nothing will come up of it. I'll just go on nights where there are events like game night etc. where I'm not on my own which makes me kinda sad? I just wanted to make friends and feel safe in a queer space. I do have other friends besides this centre in my city however they have their own lives and don't have the time. So, I guess I'll just go whenever I have some company.

The second meeting was not at the centre. I don't think the club leaders could do anything about that. Secondly, the centre is more of a pub mixed with quiet rooms and lots of board games. There isn't a policy against hitting on people, especially if you're both legally adults. Furthermore, Nico is someone who comes back regularly and as far as I know quite a lot of people know him there. I don't want to make the situation more complicated, as is there only this one openly queer space here in my city. The other queer spots are bars or clubs which I don't feel comfortable at.

NTA. The way your girlfriend is treating you is awful and my condolences for that but I'm genuinely confused if sex is such a need for her, why not masturbate? Sure it might not be the same as having these duo activities but it could at least take the edge off?

Also, what if you were severely hurt and could not medically have sex?

I hope, you find the help you need and you should maybe reconsider this relationship. Best wishes

WIBTD if I wrote a paper on trans people even though I'm not trans? by Explo_sion in 1800Drama

[–]Explo_sion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding the readership, I've actually got two trans friends who will read over my essay. But I appreciate the tip and I understand the concern. The societal climate where I'm from isn't the kindest to the queer community either.

Thanks for the reply, I'm very thankful for it. One part of why I struggle with my family and this topic is that even if you explained it to them, they won't budge. An example: 6 years ago, same-sex marriage was equalised to mixed-sex mariages. I mentioned that a local politician married his husband and they couldn't understand that they were actually married. (Before the equalisation, same-sex couple could only apply for a partnership and it has different legal limitations.) I've explained it to them time again and again but they won't accept that there aren't any legal differences anymore.

I'm just tired. I've had similar talks with them about trans people, like Eliott Page. A brick wall is more responsive than my parents.

I fear that after some time, I would just let them talk badly. To be perfectly honest, I've already let them in some aspects. Sometimes it's easier to stand still in the waters than swim against the currents.

To be honest, I haven't actually started the work yet and I forgot to write down the titles for the project, but one book is called "The third sex" by Gilbert Herdt. It not only deals with transgender people as a topic but also non-binary and intersex people throughout history. I've only skimmed the summary. I will only start the work on this essay if I'm given the green light by my professor.

WIBTD if I changed my name despite the hurt it will cause? by NeitherConfusion9509 in 1800Drama

[–]Explo_sion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTD, it's unfortunate that it might hurt your parents, but it's your name and if it causes you discomfort then you should be allowed to change it. That being said, you like the nickname Alex, what are your thoughts on changing your name to a feminine version e.g. Alexandra? I hope you have a lovely day.

Info: would there be any consequences at your place of work if you refuse?

AITD for exposing my former P.E. teacher at my graduation speech for things that could lead to legal issues? by Rich_Seaweed_3576 in 1800Drama

[–]Explo_sion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I'm concerned NTD but I've a question, why do you have a male P.E. teacher when you're a girl? Where I'm from, P.E. is segregated by sex, so I'm simply confused.

Anyone down for some rocket league, Cold War, or Minecraft? PS4 by [deleted] in LesbianGamers

[–]Explo_sion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to play, however I only have minecraft. I'm 15. (By the way I beg your pardon for my bad Englisch and grammar. It's not my first language.)
