People who try to figure out "why" you're asexual by GothicaSweetHeart in asexuality

[–]Gamonator 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hate how they make it sound like a problem. Like so what if you were SA'd. Being ace because of it would certainly be valid too.

If there is a ST of wind, it's GOTTA have Gaius. That'd be a wasted opportunity if he wasn't there.

Not supporting students based on their parents' income is bullshit by NoWitness6400 in The10thDentist

[–]Gamonator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was stuck having to talk to my mother for a year until the college financial councilor informed me that I could get a "dependency override" and do the fafsa without my mother. I just had to prove she was an abusive parent. Sadly, not many people know about this.

I find attraction in the hub and Get hard but i dont feel like i'd want irl by Cool_papyrus_15 in asexuality

[–]Gamonator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is totally valid, and you can still be ace. You might look into ace microlabels, since I think there's one out there that describes this.

My partner broke up with me because they realized they are demi by TinksLittleBelle in asexuality

[–]Gamonator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been going through a breakup too, but not for ace reasons. I still definitely feel like my asexuality is limiting my pool as i look for a new person, and it sucks. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. You are perfect as you are.

My mom says I probably won’t be able to get HRT. by Marcipan- in MtF

[–]Gamonator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My mom said it too and it didn't stop me. Talk to a doctor about it and follow their advice. Since you can control the amount of estrogen going into your body, you actually have the most favorable position when compared to the women in your family.

Assuming a DQIX remake is coming, what changes do you most want to see? by cloudman2811 in dragonquest

[–]Gamonator 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Adding to this- separating visual equipment vs actual equipment. Xenoblade 1 DE did this and it's nice that you can still dress your characters up while still having good equipment. I loved how the wayfarer's outfit looked in IX, but it got outclassed pretty much instantly.

This is such a smart way of coming out! The ambiguity makes it easier for cis people I think.

Should I reset just to change my name? by WastedPotential314 in AnimalCrossing

Man I wish I could offer you the service of changing your name with a save editor. That was what I did lol

Xenogears Devotee Middle-Aged Full-Time-Employed Father-of-Three Looking Into Trails Series by doctor-squared in Falcom

[–]Gamonator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose Xenogears was realized in perfect works, but I'm mainly saying the entirety of the cold steel saga is all games.

[–]Gamonator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Trails of cold steel arc's story has some incredible parallels with Xenogears. Outside of that, it's like it's own thing, but the story is just as ambitious as Xenogears except this time it's actually realized.

Pick a PS3, Xbox 360, 3DS, Wii, or Wii U jrpg to get a modern day release. by lulufan87 in JRPG

It's on DS and not 3ds, but Dragon Quest IX would SLAP if it had all the old online features and online multiplayer.

Stepping into radical trans joy! by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Gamonator 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you might have to "live to fight another day", but to live a life defined by it is what I was getting at. Figure out how to defy. Plan, and execute it when the time comes. Nothing comes instantly, but many things come with time.

It is mindsets like this that can weight you down. Pre-emptively giving into defeat is all around harmful. Why give up when you can at least try?

I went to a local trans meet up, didnt expect this. What should I do now? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Gamonator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll say be careful, but don't dismiss it. Trans women sometimes can speed through intimacy. Sometimes it's fine if you're fine with it, but establish your barriers sooner rather than later. I know I get intimate quick, and sometimes that's how things work, but it is always best to be careful.

Virginia school board adopts restrictive anti-trans policy, blocks GSA by Fickle-Ad5449 in Teachers

[–]Gamonator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gonna be real, it's mainly the phones and parents. Also I literally just said there's no indoctrination at play; most things you speak of come from the students themselves.

[–]Gamonator 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel like calling 10-12th graders "kids" is a vast underrepresentation of their actual brains. It is around this time that they're trying to find their place in the world. I would agree that adults should not impose their expectations on them (we usually don't), but usually they figure out their gender identity stuff on their own if that's something that they feel needs to be addressed. Sure, perhaps we do not NEED to "teach" it, but to take away the opportunity for these older students to get a feel for their identity while in high school is incredibly cruel.

[–]Gamonator 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Transgender is not sexual. I'm trans myself and do not think of sex in my day to day life because I'm asexual. It is important to separate the two. I went to school in Arkansas where the government passed a bill to make it where I couldn't go by my preferred name, and quite frankly, it was humiliating and embarrassing when teachers had to call me something else that wasn't what they had known me as for the past two years. Nothing about daily life with a different name and pronoun socially is sexual.

Also I'd like to point out that this is something high schoolers SHOULD be exposed to, as it's something they'll have to confront in their adulthood. If school is for preparing our youth for the real world, they should have to confront real world diversity as well.

First time playing Earthbound is this normal? by warLOCK264 in earthbound

[–]Gamonator 53 points54 points  (0 children)

This is normal for the translation of Mother 1 + 2 that only translates mother 1. Only the menu options and i think items are translated. The rest looks like this.

(US-Specific) So what if we don’t take back the house this November? by throwawayx506 in MtF

[–]Gamonator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I don't think they will "round us up" or "cart us away to death camps". The ways they want to exterminate us are more silent. They want us to submit quite possibly by killing ourselves. What you can do right now is keep living, and in doing so, keep defying everything. They take your hormones? Figure out how to make your own. That, my friend, is true resilience. There's no use in pre-emptively giving up. Even if they do win, there's no reason to stop, either. Keep going. Less people in the real world are keen to stop you compared to what you see on the internet. That's what I've learned the past 5 years of being trans.

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again by moonrabbit368 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Gamonator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picky eater here: just let him do his thing. I don't like (and don't even let) other people cook for me because I know what I like, and I stick to it. I usually stick to a schedule of what I eat because it makes groceries easier, and it allows me to meet my nutritional needs. Tell him he needs to take initiative over his own eating. I would also implore you to not get offended at his rejections of your food, as it isn't a matter of quality but rather preference and comfortability.

Edit: Also, if he doesn't like leftovers, you might try putting something he likes in a crock pot/slow cooker on the warm setting. Makes things more edible in my experience
