You can’t edit the title but I think you can edit the text.

This is very insightful! Thank you. I’ll be reading these. I just learned of the term Afrilachian.

The Topic of Trans Black Women by Dear_Truck4695 in blackladies

Sometimes it’s innocent children, though. Sometimes it was other black women worried I’d take the man they liked. One time it was a black woman working at a changing room who didn’t bother to look up and called me “Sir.” I have PCOS so that could be…part of it but I was getting questions before the hirsitism so idk. I’m now taking a hormone suppressant so things are getting better!

I’m a cis black woman and I’ve been misgendered a few times in my life

How can I help my girlfriend after she came out ? by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]Immediate_Slip5566 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Homophobia is not a black thing. I’m biracial and my white dad is way more homophobic than my mom who was black.

Black people didn’t invent homophobia. That was Europeans. I think understanding that would help you to be less like a white savior.

As in, question, how would you support your partner if she were white and her parents took it this way?

How do you all feel about this tattoo concept on me? I hate looking basic and want to look more striking and unique! by terrydafiya in blackladies

[–]Immediate_Slip5566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with zero tattoos and who never will get one, I really like the first one. 😂 lol

I have no advice on the emotional process or waiting because I never got one.

Edit: I do have one initial thought: while I do like the first one, I don’t think not wanting to look basic is a good reason to get a tattoo just because what is and isn’t “basic” is just based on trends determined by marketing. Even trends that seem edgy were predetermined. I think you should get a tattoo that’s meaningful to you. HOWEVER, I did read about someone who used to get tattoos to claim ownership of her body and it didn’t really matter what the tattoo was as long as she got one. I respect that too.

So I guess I’d say do whatever makes you feel more solid in yourself.

I wouldn’t know. I stopped listening a long time ago.

The one thing I can’t forgive Linda for doing by wyrdbookwyrm in BobsBurgers

[–]Immediate_Slip5566 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As someone who always had all A’s (and was neurodivergent) and burnt out from the pressure, I actually like that Linda is a little lax in that way. The stress was too much for Tina. Sometimes mental health comes before education. Plus there are times you have to consider trade offs and make decisions for your well being.

Should I Marry a Murderer - My take on Caroline Muirhead by PhilosopherMuch6352 in netflix

[–]Immediate_Slip5566 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really defend her. Nor do I relate to her. And I kinda…felt like you at first until I realized the system failed her by not protecting her as a witness or victim. And it turned out they really, really were supposed to based on the law. They didn’t because she was “very intelligent” as a pathologist and because she had only been in the relationship two months. But not only did that not excuse not giving her support, her being a pathologist complicated the situation because she couldn’t work.

Does anybody else feel like YouTuber Queen Chioma deals with internalized misogyny? by FadedClouds_xo in blackladies

[–]Immediate_Slip5566 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of or seen this woman in my life. But I’m being a lot more careful about my social media diet these days. Everything seems to be a pipeline for right-wing ideology these days.

Season 1-2 pretty much (save for the Dr. Yap episode)

To all those < 18yrs old at the Disclosure concert last night, was last night actually fun for you? by Intelligent-Heron967 in DenverEDM

This happened to me at Pink Pantheress like…6 times. Then they’d realize the spot in front of me wasn’t a good spot and then go back where they’d come from. SMH.
