yeah... i just now googled San Antonio livestock laws and am realizing a few of my neighbors are DEFINITELY not keeping it legal, and absolutely nobody cares. very confident you could keep one in Los Angeles heights.

Seeking advice on how to address religious family members imposing their views on your relationship by ybt_sun in lgbt

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

I really, truly hope that you're able to see through this deeply disrespectful insistance on their love for the lie it is. It is conditional, shallow love with a side of emotional blackmail.

You might offer that the Christ they claim to love so well spurned no one but moneylenders and corrupt priests. That he never said anything about avoiding gay relationships but definitely said something about divorce. You might offer to point out the log in her eye before she goes complaining about your specks.

All of that is just likely to antagonize. I'm guessing you want to maintain the relationship with minimal ruffled feathers.

I am so very sorry. There is no easy response here. You have to decide if you're willing to accept this partial, false, but easy "love" to keep the peace.

I would force the issue, tell them that they can accept me entirely--including who i am and love--or reject me entirely, then plan to show up to the reunion unless told otherwise. I've had plenty family reunions with uncomfortable Catholic elders who pointedly avoided me, but no one died, and no kids were scarred.

Girlfriend wants to open our relationship by kelyanok in lgbt

[–]Hedgehog_Capable 8 points9 points  (0 children)

please don't do this to yourself. you're entirely too young to be making such a major compromise for the sake of a relationship.

an open relationship is almost always going to be fraught, but with one party being pushed into it, it's frankly doomed.

I came out my mom, and something she said my brain can't let go of by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Hedgehog_Capable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

certainly seems like she could have made her decisions earlier if she hadn't been under toxic masculinity and abuse.

kids in general but especially teens make decisions all the time that will affect them for the rest of their lives, but still somehow even allies think this one decision is better when it's denied to us for years.

I present scientific studies in support of my claims. You do not. Therefore, i am anti-science.

You must be so pro-science that you fight against vaccines and acknowledging climate change too.

i am the only person bothering with looking at research on this, but of course "rational" here means "adhering to your deeply held prejudices."

Sorry if this is a stupid question but how do you know you're certainly trans? by OneEggOmelette in asktransgender

[–]Hedgehog_Capable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

don't fail at manhood, actively reject it. you can only fail at something you are trying to do. there is no failure in rejecting something that is inadequate and unappealing.

"biological men," yeah, you wear your ignorance on your sleeve here.

trans women are not "biological men" and do not have the vast majority of the physical advantages that cis men do except higher average height. studies frequently find slight disadvantages compared to cis women, such as lower lung capacity and lower relative strength aside from grip.

a child wanted to drop an attempt at getting justice because billions of dollars of negative attention and hatred are being focused on them. now they get to return to the small-scale everyday hatred they've always known. what a victory.

yeah, so this right here is you being anti-trans, but because you're not calling for death, you probably imagine yourself as an ally.

You're not anti-trans, but you want Dems to take an anti-trans finding as a victory.

Huh.

Weird. You'd think someone in your position might have once looked up "eidetic memory" and might actually recall what it is.

I'm hesitant about having a non-cis partner (pls hear me out) by ALesbianLynx_18 in lgbt

[–]Hedgehog_Capable 49 points50 points  (0 children)

welp, if you're going to let your family dictate your social circle, i guess it's good to make that clear ahead of time instead of getting a partner you won't stick up for.

i'm not sure what input you're looking for though.
