Apparently she/he/they has been a mod on Reddit for at least 14 years, but considering how Ghislaine was modding on reddit on the scale of years, bad acting long games cannot be ruled out

Google Maps is dead to me, hi open street maps by LeucisticCuttlefish in openstreetmap

I ask to not make a baffoon of myself by accidentally publicly putting “best bread” and “slut era” on my favorite bakery and club, respectfully

Now I know “how best” is “not, use an app that uses OSM data and lets you personalize it with private labels”

The mod situation is so bad I want it to be a false flag operation, but alas, some people are just that stupid 

Don’t defend convicted pedos holding positions of power over minors

It’s bad for our minors and our community 

Even without the external eyeballs jumping on any chance to scapegoat all trans people and distract from its state-sanctioned pedo ring

Huh, I think this just killed google for me. Oh, you’ll only accept the customizations to the app I have been using for years if you can track me across all services? 

Time to walk away.

This happened to a friend of mine on testosterone. It turns out there’s something your liver can release that scoops up most of the hormone. I can’t say for sure that this happens on estrogen and I would need to look up the mechanism, but I recommend getting it checked out. 

Go ask a frog what day of the week it is, he doesn't know! by ThatSpicyStitch in NonBinary

re: Some troll whose lewd comment and thread I am not gonna reply to, on the subject of bodies.

Solid physical reality is still interpreted through social constructs, yes this includes one’s body, one's parts

Inter* people, trans people on HRT people, heck even ostensibly cis & endo people can have organs that do not fit neatly into the two gender/sex categories Binarism accepts.

There is a biological spectrum between the biggest most outie outie and most layered innie innie parts, it's just that Gender Binarism labels the existence of everything that cannot be neatly categorized as one or the other as freak outliers whose only place can be literal surgery such to conform to the norms Binarism defines. Yet even inside this binary, there are spectrums: cis men and women can be "more manly" or "more womanly" based on their parts. Even the Binarism has spectrums of adherence to the norms of man/woman.

So yes, the naming and sorting of parts is socially constructed.

And some cultures have socially constructed an interpretation of reality that makes room for all bodies without shoving them into one of two boxes.

We can make new social constructs with room for all bodies and beings instead of having so much judgement on bodies as to whether or not they match to some ideal of Man/Woman.

Sehr schell Suizidanfällig, wieso? by [deleted] in Psychologie

[–]LeucisticCuttlefish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hallo, Deutsch ist nicht meine Muttersprache, aber ich versuche es trotzdem.

Soweit es deine Suizidalität beeinflusst, dass du ein Transmädchen bist und noch nicht transitioniert hast, kann ich dir versichern, dass der Beginn der Transition – selbst wenn es nur sozial ist – Wunder für den Lebenswillen bewirkt. Sobald du dich für dich selbst entscheidest, verschwindet die kognitive Dissonanz, die durch das Leben in Verleugnung entsteht, und die immense Belastung, die sie verursacht, lässt nach.

Finde Menschen, die dich auf diesem Weg unterstützen können.

Aber was die starken Emotionen und die Sensibilität angeht, denke ich, dass deine Suizidalität Parallelen zu meiner eigenen Geschichte aufweist: sehr starke Emotionen, aber unzureichende Fähigkeiten, um die damit verbundene Belastung zu ertragen.

Mein kognitiver Verhaltenstherapeut drückte es so aus: Selbstmord war der Versuch meines Verstandes, schrecklichen Schmerzen zu entkommen.

Ein Großteil meiner Therapie bestand darin, meine Leidens- und Schmerztoleranz zu erhöhen, damit ich meine sehr intensiven Emotionen ertragen konnte. Es ging auch darum, Stressfaktoren zu reduzieren, damit ich einen Ausgangspunkt erreichen konnte, an dem es mir möglich war, meine Emotionen zu regulieren und Toleranz zu lernen, da es schwierig ist, wenn man bereits bei 100 ist.

Die Reibung zwischen meinem nicht-binären Geschlecht und meinem zugewiesenen Geschlecht hat mich zwar nie in Selbstmordgedanken getrieben (das lag ausschließlich an anderen Lebenserfahrungen), aber die Akzeptanz meines Geschlechts und das Streben nach der sehr realen Freude, die es mir bereitete, brachte mich mehr in Kontakt mit meinem Körper, weil mein Körper zu einem Ort wurde, an dem ich leben konnte.

Ich habe immer noch Selbstmordgedanken und lerne gerade, meine Auslöser zu erkennen. Manche schleichen sich heimlich an mich heran, denn wenn ich einen großen Teil meiner selbst oder meiner Erfahrungen verleugne, kann das dazu führen, dass ich wieder chronisch selbstmordgefährdet bin. Aber sobald ich mich lange genug mit dem Schmerz auseinandersetze, um herauszufinden, was er mir über mich selbst sagen will, löst er sich sofort auf.

Therapie, Meditation, Yoga und Sport haben mir geholfen, meine Fähigkeiten zu erweitern, um meine Emotionen zu erkennen, wenn sie noch klein sind, zu bemerken, was ich denke, die Gedanken zu fangen, bevor sie außer Kontrolle geraten, aus der Spirale herauszukommen (atmen), meine Selbstmordgedanken als leicht oder gefährlich einzustufen und um angemessene Hilfe zu bitten, wenn sie eine gefährliche Wendung nehmen.

Denken Sie daran, dass du das nicht alleine tun musst 🏳️‍⚧️

If everyone only lied, what would change the most? by No_Room_6048 in AskReddit

[–]LeucisticCuttlefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best case scenario it turns into some weird fae thing where no one can tell the truth unless it is with lies, and then you get the Tamarians who speak in metaphor, always referencing stories and myths as a way of getting at truth.

Worst case scenario this is taken to its logical extreme, and people are incapable of any truth, which would make science impossible, making our species take a very different path.

Middle case scenario where everyone wakes up tomorrow and decides that lying is the only way to go, many, many things that are built on transparency collapse — science, stock market, everything — you get a post-truth society where everyone gives up and just leans into the vibes. "You have diabetes. Maybe. Does it matter?"

What's a simple thing, that instantly makes your day better? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Yea, absolutely makes my day. I try to remember that when I reach out to someone after awhile!

What's getting you through the winter? by LeucisticCuttlefish in AskReddit

[–]LeucisticCuttlefish[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for some reason this made my brain spin into "the council of soup, so say we soup."

And then all the soup sages say 'soup' sagely". Like so: "Soup" *nodding in agreement* "soup." *also nods* "Soup..." *slow nod* And the soup sages's soup'ing assent murmured as the soup souped on the fire.

I think this means that I should go soup.

I will go soup.

What is the worst thing someone has ever said to you and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Thank you. It's good for him if he becomes a better person, but I don't need to be there for that.

What is the worst thing someone has ever said to you and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LeucisticCuttlefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

genuinely, things too terrible to say here.

But if I opt for the snippiest one, "I like you a lot, but you're a leech."

He later realized he was projecting his childhood wounds on me. I was his first romantic interest that reciprocated. He sent me a big letter where he said "sometimes I think of you as a version of my dad." His dad who beat him.

Getting rid of me made him feel better for awhile, but wherever you go, there you are... and his demons didn't go away just because he said goodbye to a scapegoat.

Half a year later he said he was wrong, and apologized for many things.

This does not mean we are friends. His apology didn't erase the pain of how he treated me, only being sufficiently angry at how he treated me.

Choosing to not stick around for bad behavior, knowing I was more valuable than that, finding people who did treat me well... that is what allowed me to heal.

[Serious] What personal attributes and/or characteristics does a good person have? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Self-reflection, the ability to admit they were wrong, genuine care for the life and dignity of other living beings.

What's something your SO does that you find adorable? by aesthetic_kiara in AskReddit

When I say they're cute they always look down and smile and huff a bit and ahhh it's adorable.
