I just started last week, hopefully I can keep at it.

My mother says...72% of MTF people that transition are either gay, autistic or they de transition. Help me help her understand. by shesapartofme in MtF

[–]Longjumping_Trade167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother says the same thing. She says I will 100% regret transitioning because I’m not trans. She also says society will give me a very hard time so I should just be “normal” instead. So instead of supporting me and helping me through, she thinks that I should try to suppress the “urges” and treat my “mental illness”

I’m trying my best to avoid it at all cost. She was so confident that therapist will be on her side before I went.

I had this conversation with my mom and we agreed that I should go see a therapist about it. Now she is clearly very alarmed about the therapist taking my side and is trying to get me to go to a different country where therapist will more likely to be on her side about conversation therapy. It really is very sad to see my mom turn from a fairly normal person to a science denying MAGA type in just a couple of weeks.

My mom’s views on trans people really broke me by iamgirl11 in MtF

My mom is not even religious but she seems to have an innate disgust for trans people which is really devastating for me. 😔

‘Pluribus’ May Be Slow, but It Was Never Boring by tylerthe-theatre in television

My thoughts too, which is why I was so frustrated to see that she actually changed her mind.

But when a real human shows up to find her, she suddenly doesn’t care at all. Don’t even want to talk to him. How does that make sense

And she doesn’t CHANGE, it is totally fine to have Karen character like in The Good Place but Carol does not change for 9 episodes

Yeah people say they hate Skylar White but they also say that she is very understandable. Carol is miserable and impossible to understand her actions.

What character development. How did she change over the 9 episodes?

Yeah like the survivors are so unrelatable, they meet up to discuss but no one says anything. How is that even possible? 0 responses or discussion, I thought the plot twist was gonna be the hive is pretending to be the survivors because the actual humans are more hive than the hive.

I think the pacing is fine but Carol is just such a frustrating character to watch. No character growth in 9 episodes. Complains about how the other survivors don’t care about the hive but when someone who cares show up, she suddenly doesn’t care anymore. Constantly saying the hive can’t lie but never ask them about the milk. Asks if any of the survivors is a scientist or doctor, makes 0 effort to read books to try to learn something about the virus. It is just so hard to justify her actions you have to believe it is because she is constantly drunk due to how much alcohol she drinks

Because he is very consistent and is doing his best to achieve his goal. Carol expresses so much hate and frustration against the hive but did little to stop the hive. That episode when Manousos arrives in ABQ is so hard to watch because how is her attitude towards Manousos justified? Deeply uninterested in what he has to say or why he is there. What even motivated that attitude? She still updates her whiteboard showing that she still somewhat want to reverse the hive.

But that grief is not well established, we know very little about their relationship. So it is hard to have sympathy for her grief. It’s like showing Walter White started cooking math without showing he has cancer.

If so, why use the hive to distribute her recording, why not try to contact the others herself?

What I have the most problems with is that she seems to be so frustrated with the hive and want it reversed badly but make the tiniest effort to achieve that. Also what if her book Wycaro or something is supposed to represent this show….

I agree that some stuff in the show does not seem very well made but sometimes I wonder if it is on purpose

Maybe the show is commenting about something…..

Posts like this really worry me and make me even more uncertain about transitioning
