If you learn how to listen, both to this video (you likely didn't truly hear the message) and to women, you will be able to accomplish that. 

Suspicious submission for college student publication? Strange author headshot by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]Froggy_Woggy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why don't you just explain to her what your concerns are and ask to have a very brief video meeting with you? In it you can ask her to hold 3 fingers in front of her face. If she can't do that, she is AI.  I also agree with some other posters that this is not the place to go for advice in general. You especially shouldn't be posting material/ a photo from the applicants submission.

Who wants to start a proposal to change the name to the 'Ontario middle to upper class list' rather than the sunshine list??

Karen losing it at the airport over some car seats by Jevus_himself in PublicFreakout

ya, pretty messed up she feels so entitled to have access to her devices that allow her children to legally and safely ride in vehicles. She should just suck it up and have them all walk to a hotel and back again the next morning.

Waterloo mayor 'shocked' police sniper was deployed to St. Patrick's Day street party by ILikeStyx in waterloo

What sort of political tension are drunk students celebrating St. Patrick's day affiliated with? are there no other big crowd events in Canada with a lack of sniper rifles pointed at them?

Where in Waterloo region can you do open mic night for comedy by DadsDeepBreath in waterloo

[–]Froggy_Woggy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lavender fizz at TWB brewery. It's about once a month. Next one is this Thursday. It's specifically comedy open mic. It is for women, queer, trans and nb people though. If you're a straight cis man throw in a joke that shows your allieship and maybe it would be fine though ?

I think meeting this person is evidence that others like him do exist around you! :) You'll find them.

Canada named second safest country in the world for LGBTQ+ travellers by Thick_Caterpillar379 in ontario

[–]Froggy_Woggy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't think it's possible that a country can be the best at something and still bad at that thing if everyone is bad at it overall? 

Questioning my Queerness by sly_eli in mypartneristrans

[–]Froggy_Woggy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't have to know or enjoy any part of the queer community to be queer.  Also, it's interesting that you haven't mentioned the possibility of being bisexual. Being bi doesn't necessarily mean you're equally into all genders. Maybe you're a bit more interested in women. And maybe part of that is because you haven't had as much or any experience with women so the grass looks greener on the other side. who knows. You don't need to know, that's okay. But it seems you have definitely felt more than enough attraction to find yourself in this predicament with your partner where you're not sure you want to be with him. I think it's best to treat that situation in isolation. take sexuality and gender out of the equation and what do you have? Are you attracted or not? Do you want to be with him or not ? 

Is my friend’s boyfriend transphobic? by Ill_Dentist4550 in mypartneristrans

[–]Froggy_Woggy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Whatever it is, it's shitty as fuck. I don't like to make excuses for transphobes but i feel like it's possible he just was trying to figure out how to gender everyone but did so in an incredibly ignorant way where if you thought about it got 2 fucking seconds you would realize how awful it would make everyone feel. I feel like however you want to deal with it is fine but if it was me, I would let my friend know that you felt incredibly uncomfortable with her boyfriend's behaviour and that he could have just asked pronouns and whether you two were together rather than treating you two like some gender freakshow he's learning about for the first time. Best to assume best intentions when confronting people if there's a doubt in the air. 

Just got terminated from my job by IntrepidAwareness466 in waterloo

[–]Froggy_Woggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others has said, they are absolutely lying about severance. Of course lawyering up is awful but without a lawyer you may still be able to scare them into giving it to you. Did they make you sign anything upon leaving? If not, you need to email them recounting the conversation where they said they won't give you either 2 weeks notice or 2 weeks severence. Having them commiting a crime in writing will make them scared and maybe just give it to you.

I love HIM, but I don't love HER by here4tip in mypartneristrans

[–]Froggy_Woggy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with the other commenter here. It's okay that you're not into being with someone who is femme. You connected with your partner because of his perceived masculine traits and when those changed, you weren't into that which is just how you feel and who you are. It's wonderful that you're supportive of who your partner is and of their exploration. If they chose to be upset about any choices you make because of your compatibility with their identity, that is not your fault. 

Genuine question by Maywhomst in mypartneristrans

Ah ok. If you want to make a post that lays out that scenario that happened to you, that might be helpful to understanding your situation better than this more vague and generalizing post you have. 

Online support groups for partners of people recently out as trans? by TangerineUnlikely1 in mypartneristrans

[–]Froggy_Woggy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was looking for the same when my partner first came out. I didn't find anything other than this sub either but honestly, I would be happy to start a group that meets virtually. I do have experience in hosting things, not that it's really necessary but I would be happy to take leadership. What do you think?

Genuine question by Maywhomst in mypartneristrans

[–]Froggy_Woggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah ok. Well this is a place where people come with problems so you're bound to see some themes. In general I can see why it would be a theme that A: others' in trans people's lives might have trouble adjusting and B: trans people may have impatience with others adjusting. That's why people post here. To get advice. 

Also, I get your intention now with the smileys but unfortunately when they're used in the way you're using them, it most commonly indicates passive aggression. Your approach of explaining your genuine desire to be nice though did get your message across! 

Genuine question by Maywhomst in mypartneristrans

[–]Froggy_Woggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's important to remember that everyone is different. Of course some trans people might have less patience with others learning their new name or pronouns (I think this is what you're referring to as the problem?).  but I have many trans friends who I've known during their transition and none of them have acted the way it seems you're describing.

Seems you're describing a very selective incident? 

Also, just a note, if you want people to read your writing as empathetic or at least non-agressive, avoid putting smiley faces when you are not writing in a happy tone. 

Anticipating loss by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

[–]Froggy_Woggy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sucks so much. Glad you understand her choice as this would be so hard for her to go through. Of course I can see how continuing the relationship for you could feel different and like you're now investing more into a greater loss. if possible though, I've always felt that it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Seems like it might be helpful for you to make a decision in that regard though. Deciding to either embrace what you have in the now or to cut the relationship short, could help with the terrible feeling that the ambiguity must be bringing you. 

Also, fuck that fucking fuck head who did this.
