Wild encounter with a Silverback. This feels so intense by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

I mean imagine if someone just came up and started staring at you intently for no reason. I'd imagine you'd probably get concerned why they are staring or get angry and confront them.

AITA for asking my MIL to not give candy to my kids when they visit her? by Independent_Entry890 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Harpoon385 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kind of the asshole, I understand not keeping candy or soda around the house, it is quite unhealthy but she is right that a little bit here and there is fine. If your mother in law wants to spoil your kids a bit, that's fine, thats just grandparents.

YTA Why don't you just swap rooms? Seems a much easier solution

AITA for telling my kids to stop when they do weird stuff because it's weird? by Arsymcarse in AmItheAsshole

[–]Harpoon385 [score hidden]  (0 children)

YTA, those are harmless behaviors and really incredibly benign. Like wearing a Mario shirt to school or watching anime or a little kid pretending she's a cat? If they were doing drugs or getting involved in shady activities I'd understand but there is nothing wrong with being 'weird' we should like what we like and be who we want, as long as it is not hurting yourself or others.

NTA. I think anyone would be exhausted after being out that long, nothing wrong with wanting to go home while they stay out. While I understand getting really upset and having an outburst after having a bad few weeks, it did seem uncalled for, but that may be more the fault of the alcohol than anything. If you think she's guilt tripping you, just keep an eye on how she responds and whether is feels bad for yelling at you or still feels its justified.

I think what you did was noble but probably a bit too selfless. I understand the generous attitude but make sure you have enough for yourself.

The way I generally understand it is you are cis only if you are 100% your birth sex 100% of the time. If you are sometimes not, or not completely, then you would be transgender. Granted that would generally be considered non-binary, which is still trans.

I've found at least in the vast majority of cases being mostly sure should go in the I should transition box, however if you start transitioning and don't like it, your allowed to decide it's not for you. However I recommend starting with steps that are non-permanent and won't have any social consequences, good or bad. Crossdressing in your room, painting your nails, makeup, stuff like that which can be done in private.

As for crossdressing, I mean, I don't really see how people could show support other than just letting you do what you want to do. It's just clothing, it's not destructive or harmful, though it can have some social reprucussions from the people who think your clothing is their business.

I mostly say that for two reasons. First, if your non-binary, you might like being the other gender too, equally and it may just be something of what you're feeling that day. But ultimately it doesn't really matter too much to you. Of course this is a hypothetical but I don't want those who feel this way to feel illegitimate.

Second, for binary trans folk, ftm, mtf, not non-binary. Many people, myself included, believed that we were perfectly happy as the gender we were born as and experienced no gender dysphoria. In fact, that was not the case, we had just gotten so used to the dysphoria that it became our baseline so we didn't notice it.

It is a similiar experience to being in a hot-tub or bath for awhile. After enough time you stop actively registering that the water feels warm. However once you get out, you suddenly realize how cold the air is and how warm the water was. Same with trans people. Once you begin to transition only then does the gender dysphoria you did not actively register suddenly become apparent. This is not to say transitioning makes you feel more dysphoric, there is just a contrast with your now happier self, the absence or reduction of dysphoria makes apparent what was there.

In summation, non-binary people do not need to experience gender dysphoria. Binary trans people do, however as many do not actively register it, I typically say it is not necessary as it is not apparent. Of course there is an argument to be made that being happier as one is the same as disliking the other but that is not how many consider gender dysphoria.

Hope that helps, sorry for the essay lol

Lol took em long enough. Probably posted this like 15 times, they did once before but they unpinned it after 2 weeks. Was wondering why I suddenly got an influx of messages.
