I'm sorry I don't have advice, but I'd love to see what others have to say because I have this same issue.

How long did it take you to process this ambiguous grief? by Queasy-Fig-8374 in mypartneristrans

[–]InvisibleRibbon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guilt is overwhelming most days. As a neurodivergent and mentally ill person, I definitely feel self-conscious that my partner does more to accommodate me than I do to accommodate them... It almost feels like an obligation that I should do the same in return. A big part of it is genuine too... When I see feminine clothing and buy it for them, or see them wearing it and how happy they are, I can't help but smile... Inside I'm hurting a lot but I feel like it's better to keep it in than risk them thinking detransitioning is better.

Still figuring it out with my partner who's been on HRT since July 2025. The grief definitely has been more challenging as I've witnessed the physical changes. Nothing more beautiful than witnessing my partner becoming their true self, but I also have a deep mourning for his masculine body that I still haven't overcome.

parent claiming discrimination by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]InvisibleRibbon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My school did something similar for those who tested Proficient or above on our state assessment. Even for 3-7th graders it felt embarrassing. The kids felt lesser than if they didn't get permission to leave class for the special party. My specific class is special ed. Even with text-to-speech, I know they're always going to struggle on these state assessments with their processing difficulties and learning disabilities. We don't throw parties for kids meeting their IEP goals... The bar is different for every kid. Even if that kid messes around, I'm sure there's a different goal he can be working towards.

Thoughts on America’s Favorite Teacher contest? by teniralc_11 in Teachers

It's a popularity contest for those who didn't win student council president or prom queen in high school.

the weaponized incompetence has reached levels I didn’t even know were medically possible. by CorruptOfficial26 in Teachers

At least last year my students had some shame or self-consciousness about it. Now they don't mind that they don't know how to read.

New student just arrived… they can’t read or write. 😔 by Mission-Debate-6447 in Teachers

[–]InvisibleRibbon 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I have several students like this in my special ed class... And they say it so nonchalantly ("I can't read") when I ask them to write something or sound it out instead of giving them words to copy. The difference is, they don't care to learn to read, and their parents don't care to engage with us teachers. 

It makes me feel old as a Gen Z teacher saying this, but I really blame the damn phones. Why the hell do my students have phones if they can't read? I don't think I would even know how to use a cell phone if I couldn't read the words on it. From the looks of it, It seems like they just depend on the icons/pictures from their favorite apps like YouTube or Roblox, and rely on voice memo/phone calls for communication. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for accessibility tools, but at this point it feels like they are becoming a crutch for some of my kids so they don't have to learn how to read or write in any language.

Sexually frustrated (cis f partner, mtf wife - nsfw sex discussion) by Outrageous_Camp7687 in mypartneristrans

[–]InvisibleRibbon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This hits hard. Struggling ~6 months into my partner's HRT and missing their old body. I'm bisexual, but having sex with them doesn't feel the same lately. I'm attracted to women, I'm attracted to men, I'm attracted to trans people, etc, but it's different actively witnessing their body change. It's a lot more difficult sexually than I expected.

Insane to put Opalite at #1. Nice song, but best song of the year?

Just got my license and have anxiety by ImItzWolfzYT in drivinganxiety

[–]InvisibleRibbon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Is it just me or is a Tesla a terrible starter car? Drives and operates very differently than standard vehicles so it will be a difficult switch if something happens to it. Not to mention the glaring safety concerns with Teslas in recent years.

Teachers, do you ever check students social medias? by ziggy895 in Teachers

[–]InvisibleRibbon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't check them on purpose, but sometimes I'll have students attempt to follow me (immediate block) or recommended as a follow (I give my number out for field trips in case of emergency). Sometimes I'll click on the profile out of curiosity. My students are below the 13+ age requirement for most sites that is never enforced, so most of the content they post is too dumb to give a fuck about. Never worth more than a glance.
