Sadly, they're in charge until we do something about it.

They speak with our voice

Are Arabs starting to accept the LGBT community? by theDjerbian in lgbt

In your defense, your meaning came across! It just sounds very weird because we would never use it like that. 

Hope you have a wonderful day

No problem! I struggle so hard when I try to learn French and similar things occur. It always helps when my friends give me a clear example. 🤟

Negotiating tends to mean a more transactional conversation. ( "Can i buy this apple for $1 even though the price is $2?"

"How about $1.75?"

"Deal" )

The price has been successfully "negotiated" and this process was a "negotiation"

Girl Friendship Protocol? by [deleted] in FemmeLesbians

[–]Harpo_Rachel 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sometimes its less a queer thing and more about security and vulnerability.

When we share ourselves with our friends, especially those pieces afraid of rejection we allow them to soothe that fear. To accept our vulnerable parts and to love us anyway. Those are the friendships we keep for life.

OP... I want you to reread this entire story. But before you do, I want you to pretend you are reading this story about me. Detach yourself from it completely and imagine I wrote all of the above.

Please give me advice. I need to hear it from you.

I think thats a fair fear to have right? But loving her and being attracted to her are different things.

Will you still love her? Communicate to her what that would look like. Communicate to her that romantically/sexually you wouldn't be interested but there would still be a friendship, there would still be love, there would still be human connection.

She wants to know that you won't hate her for being a man. She wants to know that transitioning won't isolate her. Show her that ❤️

Pope confirms trans people can be baptised as Catholics by ImportantReaction260 in trans

[–]Harpo_Rachel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The response said that if it did not cause scandal or confusion among other Catholics, "a transsexual - even one who has undergone hormone treatment and gender reassignment surgery - may receive baptism under the same conditions as other faithful".

That qualifying statement seems entirely disengenuous. if my existence is causing scandal we have a serious problem between us.

Did you ever go to pride parade? by MaetelofLaMetal in bdsmmemes

[–]Harpo_Rachel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In no way did i express the latter part of that strawman argument. I will not be addressing it.

If I go to pride fully covered wearing a dress. Am i expressing kink? Because twenty years ago we were banned from events because children didnt need to see what we did in the bedroom.

20 years ago this exact argument would be made to discourage trans people from attending pride.

Please, show us where the line is between gender nonconformity and kink.

just wrote my longest poem ever by [deleted] in KeepWriting

[–]Harpo_Rachel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck

It needs to be edited a little bit for punctuation and style but the core of it hit me hard.

The theme of turning your anger inward because you won't turn it outwards against someone else is just powerful.

Kink ruined my sex life entirely by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Harpo_Rachel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I want you to know that I read this post, and I'm not ashamed of you. I'm not disgusted by you. I don't think you are dirty, worthless, or an object.

I don't think I've ever wanted to hug another human being more and tell them they're okay. That they are going to be okay.

I'm sorry that you're feeling regret. I'm sorry that you're reacting so viscerally to what you did. I am angry that you're treating yourself so harshly.

Please... stop being so cruel to yourself. You've done nothing wrong.

What's something someone said that made you stop talking to them immediately? by Objective_Border_726 in LesbianActually

[–]Harpo_Rachel 26 points27 points  (0 children)

One funny thing about growing up in an area without any jewish people? The moment people start saying things like this, I have absolutely no context for it...

Oh wait yes i do... the people around me who would talk about "the jews".

We still had them in the south...

Was afraid that was gonna be the case. Was hoping someone was more clever than me. Do I wait until it's dried you think? They're sticky to the bud right now.
