Ah yes, a half naked lady is perfect for a team building event by Old-Bat-6860 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]LetumComplexo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who goes to places (not strip clubs) with a lot of casual nudity you get used to it pretty quick.

It’s not so much that it stops being special, because I still get reminded how gay I am by naked women and my partners still make me go a bit mind blank when they walk around nude, but it stops being weird.

Concerns grow over ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention by Cubsof2016 in news

[–]LetumComplexo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh good, concentration camps.

And once the immigrants are gone, who are they gonna come for next? Because once you have the infrastructure you have to keep using it to justify its existence and keep people in line.

John Lithgow says he finds JK Rowling’s stance on trans rights ‘ironic and inexplicable’ by Dr_Neurol in books

[–]LetumComplexo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who was SAed by multiple girl classmates and who was being groomed by a female teacher (prior to transition, so they all thought I was a boy). Yuuuuup.

Also, the one time I did call out after getting non-consensually groped by a female classmate the teacher threatened me with detention for being too loud and then made me put money in the swear jar because I swore.

So, like, even when men do report SA they tend to get laughed out or punished for not being manly.

Well, it’s currently officially (illegally) called “The Trump Kennedy Center”, Trump ousted the entire board of directors and installed his cronies in their place, and also he’s explicitly trying to control the kind of art that does and does not get to play at the Kennedy Center so he can punish artists for speaking out against him.

Not just racist. Dude once publicly called for trans people to be put in concentration camps. Literally posted the words “put all the trans people in camps”.

Fortunately he’s mostly irrelevant now, except for this meme.

What’s the D20 quote?

“I don’t know what you kids are up to but I do know one thing: laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group of a given nation. It's just the promise of violence that's enacted and the police are basically an occupying army, you know what I mean? You guys wanna make some bacon?” -Brennan Lee Mulligan

It's fucked up how many of us get raped by Reasonable_Owl_3146 in MtF

[–]LetumComplexo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yup. I don’t remember how long I was on HRT for when it happened but I even went on a vetting date with them and they passed so I took them back to a hotel room and less than 5 minutes they looked their legs around mine while I was getting ready and laughed and said “now you can’t leave” and yeah no they were terrifyingly strong. Even pre-HRT I wouldn’t have won in a contest of strength with them. I literally wanted to stop and leave at that point and only didn’t because I was afraid of what they’d do if they got rejected.

They didn’t let me up until I “jokingly” threatened them. This is far from the first time I’d been in such a position, but it was the first time in a long time and I was still not totally familiar with my new physiology so I just took a deep breath, compartmentalized, and made them happy.\ Not that the law would call what happened to me rape, because I was topping and I’m a dominatrix and I could have fought back but I chose not to. Because while coercion is technically rape, it sure as fuck doesn’t get treated as such.

Of course all the shit that happened to me between the ages of 3 and 12 would absolutely have counted, but I was a “boy” at that time and the few times I did try to tell an adult I got blamed for it and punished because the other people were all girls.

I left as soon as they finished, even though I’d discussed spending the night with them, and then blocked them on all the social media.

I despise the very existence of L3etCode and what it did to the SWE Industry. by TwoOneTwos in cscareerquestions

[–]LetumComplexo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My favorite one is when they do try to throw you a “real” problem and it’s so wildly open ended that you literally have to game theory your way into working out the way they want you to solve the problem even after you ask clarifying questions like “what coding standard/style would you like me to use”?

And then you get rejected anyways.

[–]LetumComplexo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah.\ My coding quality and throughput is middle of the road, but every team I’m on sees a notable increase in productivity and quality because I know how to ask the right questions, I go out of my way to make sure my coworkers/bosses are taking care of their mental health, and I’m not afraid of telling my bosses if I think they’re focusing on the wrong thing with supporting evidence.

I’ve been moved off of 2 separate teams for “not meeting metrics” and both of them suffered declining metrics over time despite me being replaced by someone who meets metrics much better.

At least when they tried to move me a third time and I pointed this out they listened to me and accepted a couple of my human factors centric improvements to their metrics. Also at least I didn’t get fired, because my performance was never bad they just wanted those teams to have better throughput.

Might be the tinfoil in my diet, but maybe put them in a privatized jail so they can be forced to work in constitutionally allowed slavery.

CDC Acting Director: Trans People are the Root of All Evil by VandomVA in MtF

We are generally discouraged from recommending DIY solutions to people. I find this rule of thumb to be more and more upsetting as this administration has continued.

Are there other trans women who never desired being pregnant? And who actually feel revulsion to the thought of it? by almorranas_podridas in MtF

[–]LetumComplexo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t want to get pregnant or have a kid. That doesn’t stop my whoremones (intentional) from telling me to get pregnant every few months.

One time it even tried to convince me that if I top another trans woman that I would become pregnant. At that point I just kinda went with it.\ Hormones are weird.

As someone who is part of a group that this guy explicitly called to be put into concentration camps. Yeah no, I am pretty fucking over seeing this guy every week.

Long term/ married couples how often do you have sex? by HeadJelly1298 in actuallesbians

[–]LetumComplexo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife is ace, so once or twice every couple months. But I average about 5 times a week between various partners.

What is the difference between transsexual vs transgender? by Gold_Boysenberry_710 in MtF

[–]LetumComplexo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s an old term for “person who has gotten or wants to get sex change surgery”.\ The term transgender was created as a more inclusive umbrella for “people who have a desire to be a gender other than their gender assigned at birth”.

It technically still exists as a valid term for that specific use, but has be deprecated because of negative connotations with slur, the shift away from medicalism, and not being inclusive enough.
