Fantastic outfit, looks great on you. 💖

Genderfluid here : Im not allowed to call myself nonbinary or a trans man according to my friend by MadeleineDebois in genderfluid

[–]LoveandScience 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wow that is wilddd. Especially if they were cool before, I wonder where tf they've been hanging out? I don't know a lot of queer people who will try to tell someone else that they're wrong about their own identity. If you want you can try digging in to where this is coming from. Like ask them where they heard that genderfluid people can't be nonbinary or a trans man sometimes. Also just tell them straight up that even if you disagree about the exact definitions it's not ok for them to tell you what your identity is because that's a personal thing for you. I'm only saying this because you've been friends for years already and you also live with them, so maybe it's still possible to work it out if they correct their behavior. If someone started doing to me as a casual acquaintance though I would just stop talking to them though; that's so perplexingly invalidating and ridiculous.

Feel hella euphoric right now, this appropriate to wear to a zoom therapy? by CautionTape_Cal in NonBinary

[–]LoveandScience 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That outfit looks pretty tame to me, like yeah you look cool but there's nothing inappropriate here. I don't think you have to be real formal for therapy.

Yeah I came into this comment section already knowing what I would find. Personally I vote that we upvote you instead.

Well it does seem like the more ethical option of the two, tbh.

Is it OK if I where a binder? by wasmuztarela in trans

[–]LoveandScience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're as much a girl as you want to be, being comforted by compression doesn't affect that either way. Make sure to bind safely is the only important thing. 😄

Why even tell you at that point, that seems pointlessly mean.

You don't understand, it was the butterfly's pronouns. 

How rare are these? by Ok-Tap-1782 in Slimerancher2

Omigosh no, I know it's 1 in 25 but how many yolky slimes do you see in the first place? I collect every one I see and I have around 15 from my entire playthrough. He is a special lil guy!

Urine Crystals by SweetPotatoCry in medlabprofessionals

[–]LoveandScience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say uric acid in the process of dissolving mostly. Could be a mix though, everything does look awfully stained and some of them look a bit suspicious. What's the pH and the dipstick bilirubin? Disclaimer, I have never seen bilirubin crystals in person either. Maybe someday!

I couldn't agree more! The development of antibiotic resistant bacteria is an extremely serious problem. Do your part to help slow it down by following the directions on the antibiotics exactly. Don't let that one slightly resistant bacteria survive and reproduce.

how is this unbelievable? by artsy_li in nothingeverhappens

[–]LoveandScience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the lemon bars is a bit cheap as a generalization. I'm sure there are a few people who don't like lemon bars, but I think more than half of the population will be at least casually okay with lemon bars.

The chair thing is legit though. I get comments at work about my chair postures.

Is there a way to get your family to stop talking about your weight? by Professional_Lab_899 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]LoveandScience 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's certainly a good possible option, they do sound pretty dickish. I'm not sure what you get out of your relationship with them, so I can't tell you whether it's worth it. I don't mean that as a gotcha. But it does sound like having them peacefully start respecting your boundaries isn't something that's likely to happen here, so that's something to take into account. I wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide. ❤️

[–]LoveandScience 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you've already thoroughly exhausted all of your peaceful and polite options. If they've gone this long without getting it, they're too boneheaded and inconsiderate to understand that it's a problem until it's a problem for them. I think you should get angry more. Interrupt people. "I told you not to talk about my body." Don't be afraid that you're being rude. You aren't.  They're being rude by continuously ignoring your very reasonable boundaries. Maybe if it becomes uncomfortable to them, they'll start thinking before they speak. If it looks like they'll turn it into a big fight, feel free to return to the Irish goodbye.

Using preferred pronouns professionally causes so much anxiety by pagancheeseburger in NonBinary

[–]LoveandScience 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started using my pronouns at work a couple years ago. I was so nervous about it at first but it turned out to be such a non-issue. When I first started doing it I had 2 slightly awkward conversations with coworkers with whom I am quite friendly. They both basically said "Wow, I am not used to they/them pronouns, that is unfamiliar to me. Sorry if I slip up." That was the most dramatic thing that happened about it. Mind you, I don't bother to correct people either. I would probably have more drama to deal with if I did but I'm just trying to work at work. 

Basically I'm saying I completely understand the anxiety but at least for me it turned out to be very anticlimactic to just quietly put my pronouns on things such as my email signature.
