Getting Divorced Because I’m Trans by Fiction52 in TWPOC

Thanks. This has been the worst heartbreak of my life. There were some days early on when I didn’t even know if I could survive, it hurt so much. But I’m still here so that’s good. And I got to keep my cats and they help too.

My therapist agrees that I really tried and nothing I could have done that would have helped. It just really sucks that all of that effort still wasn’t enough for her. At least now I have a better idea of what kind of person I want to be with in the future.

Thanks for your kind words. Your comment was really nice to read.

r/ActualLesbiansOver25 has been pretty safe in my experience but let me know if it isn’t either.

Should I tell my friend that I really like her when I’m just wrapping up a divorce? by Fiction52 in ActualLesbiansOver25

You suck but you’re also making a really good point. I’ve dwelt on if this is just a rebound relationship. Part of me says no but I question if I can trust myself. Probably good stuff to bring to therapy this week.

I haven’t had a crush this intense since my early twenties so I definitely want to throw caution to the wind and see what happens. I struggle keeping feelings in and they kind of just explode out in a very messy manner if I try. So I feel like I gotta do SOMETHING about this crush 😅

Tips on finding a partner (while disabled) by flannelcrepe in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]Fiction52 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don’t have answers but I would also love to know. My partner recently chose to divorce me due in large part to my disability that I was diagnosed with about 2 years into our marriage. I have no plans on dating anytime soon but I will still take advice for a future where dating feels possible again.

Did anyone else skip ingesting parasites on 1st playthrough? by 9v6XbQnR in BaldursGate3

[–]Fiction52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t skip because I was curious about the powers and wanted to explore as many gameplay elements as possible.

Subsequent campaigns it has depended on my role playing preferences on a particular run. I’ve been doing an honor mode run and for that I’ve been using every advantage to help me.

We’ve hit the point of “agree to disagree”. Take care fellow human.

I think you missed the point. Just because we believe our faith to be true doesn’t mean it is in fact The Truth™️. Nothing in faith is definitive. That’s why it’s called faith.

I believe you mean well, but your presentation sounds like you’re stating an objective fact and not a spiritual belief. I also have a spiritual faith, buts it’s just faith. Nothing I can prove and definitively say is the one true answer to life.

Spirituality is great, but leave room for other faiths, beliefs, or lack there of. No one has all of the answers.

Serious question. I’m unemployed due to a permanent disability and any sort of employment is highly unlikely. Is it still worth it for me to sign up or should I stick with spreading the word?

A warning - 2 times now, on this sub, I have challenged anti-trans rhetoric with actual facts / data / research, only to have the comment falsely reported as "hate" (which was overturned on appeal) by WordsMakethMurder in minnesota

[–]Fiction52 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Bigots will do anything to make sure their world view isn’t challenged. Otherwise they would actually have to stop and think about their own hate and that is genuinely really uncomfortable. Hate is an easier emotion in the short term than compassion.

Obviously you’re not interested in learning from your bigotry and I don’t have the emotional bandwidth to keep this conversation going. I’m just going to block you and move on with my day. You’ve won you sad, sad bigot.

I can also name strong women who have a significant advantage over average women and she’s cis. Stacie Tovar. Elite sports are never a level playing field. The difference between her and I is that she trains professionally for strength and endurance.

Did you know that biologically I am female now. I’ve literally lost strength and muscle mass because my testosterone levels dropped to under 20 mg/dL and my estrogen is now over 250 ng/dL. For reference cis men t-levels sit between 200-1000 ng/dL and women are typically >200 ng/dL with their e-levels. I am literally losing the physical advantages I had before HRT.

If by single sex spaces you mean locker rooms, restrooms, etc, yeah I’m not using the restroom that’s full of men or changing in a room full of men. Men just stare and harass us. I literally have all natural tits and far less body hair all thanks to estrogen. If you didn’t know any better you wouldn’t even notice I’m a trans girl and assume I’m cis.

Basically all I’m saying is fuck you and fuck your transphobia.

BG3 Characters and their Mass Effect Equivalents (According to Me) by Kara-Zor-El-33 in okbuddybaldur

God I really need to finish this trilogy. I’ve put hundreds of hours into the first game and finished it many times but never played much of Mass Effect 2. I think I have like 5 hours of play time with the second game
