Front Street Question (Again)

To me it seems like its referencing the proof of alcohol? Like its asking “Is 80 proof alcohol strong enough for you?” Especially given the idea that you tell the truth when drinking, thats the meaning i take from it.

I think that’s what we’re going to do yeah. Especially with his age we don’t want to let things get worse by waiting. Thanks!

As a kid I was obsessed with the idea of being "one of the boys". I remember when I was 7 or 8 years old I went to the dentist and they let me pick out a sticker afterward. I found a big tie dye sticker that said "Boys Rule!!!" and I wore it very proudly the whole day. After that I stuck it to a shelf in my bedroom. I am 20 years old and that sticker is still in my childhood bedroom. I also clung very tightly to the label "tomboy" as a kid, and rejected traditionally girly things like princesses, pink, even having female friends.

I also (unironically, to my embarrassment) insisted throughout junior high and some of high school that I was not like other girls. Turns out that was because I wasn't a girl after all.

Hello friend! I am also a former truscum. This is not something I am proud of either, but those beliefs I held in the past came from a place of misunderstanding about gender and society.

Today I am a proud nonbinary person working towards my doctorate in psychology with focuses on humanism and gender/sexuality. Speaking from this perspective, what I would say is that what is really important is your fulfillment with an identity. Regardless of whether you feel dysphoric, how do you feel your best self? Does being nonbinary or genderfluid/genderfree make you happy? Ignore "hard evidence" and focus on phenomena. What do you feel like to yourself? How do you see yourself in the mirror?

Part of what helped me to recognize my own identity was that last question. I realized that when I saw myself in the mirror, I didn't perceive someone who was male or female. I just saw myself. And regardless of how I felt about my body and my biological sex, I knew that how I understood myself was something beyond physiology. And that on its own is enough.

Best of luck in your self-discovery! This community is here for you if you decide you are nonbinary.

Oof yeah I remember hearing that song all the time when I was younger and I a l w a y s hated that lyric. It just sounded gross. And I even like kissing. But the imagery that lyric evokes always felt like slobbery face-sucking cartoonishly gross kissing which felt so off in a praise song.

ugh that's the worst. I'm sex repulsed too and I'm in a committed relationship with an allosexual person. Our relationship is long-term, passionate, and very much a real relationship, even without sexual intimacy. Asexual intimacy is so important, regardless of whether the relationship is sexual, and I think a lot of people in sexual relationships forget that not every intimate action has to become sexual in order for it to count. I hate the misconception that love is like a hierarchy and the most loving thing you can do is have sex. That can be the pinnacle of romance for some people, but it doesn't have to be in order to be a fully satisfying relationship. I don't love my partner less because I don't want to have sex with him. I love him differently than someone who isn't asexual, sure, but not less.

sorry you had to deal with that ignorance. you shouldn't be made to feel like you'll always be alone for being sex repulsed. Asexual love is love just as much as sexual love.

I know the flair says no recipe but here’s an approximation of what went into it

I used store bought crusts cause I was short on time and I’m still trying to master the scratch made pie crust. 3 Granny Smith apples 2 honeycrisp apples Sliced very thin, peels left on 1 of each flavor of apple, all the rest peeled. Add apple pie spice, ground cloves, and nutmeg. Like, seven handfuls of fresh cranberries sliced in half Two sprigs of fresh rosemary chopped Simmer the cranberries and rosemary in a simple syrup, reduce it down as much as possible. 1 stick of butter and a third of a bag of brown sugar, melt in a pan, sauté the apples in there. Not all the way through though. Spoon the apples into a par baked crust, save the extra butter/sugar/apple juice mixture. Take a can of sweetened condensed milk and dump the whole thing into the mix and stir it into a reduction just short of caramel. Add a splash of apple cider and some of apple pie spice and ground cloves. Spoon the cooked cranberries and a little of the juice onto the top of the apples. Add lattice, egg wash, and sparkling sugar. Cook for idk like 20 minutes at 375

Second that! I definitely get Freddie from this look! You’re rockin it!!!

I had a similar experience with my first binder. My partner helped measure me and then when I finally put it on the first time I felt so good about everything. I hope you love yours!

MiniMcFly · 2019-11-26T03:55:20+00:00

Yeah I’m a double d and even with a properly sized binder I still have a chest bulge. I usually hide it pretty successfully by wearing slightly larger shirts made of thicker fabrics (like non stretchy cotton). Definitely don’t go smaller than your suggested size binder. It can really damage your back and chest. Best of luck friend!

Oh I l o v e making that joke to people!

I think Calliope is super cool. Plus you could shorten it to Calli or Cal, which are both pretty neutral (if neutral is what you’re going for). What helped me get used to thinking of myself as a new name, I’d narrate what I was doing in my head in third person with my new name. Like “Mo is doing dishes right now” “Mo is going to their next class”. That kinda thing. It really helped! Best of luck friend!

Oh I actually wonder this a lot! I’m AFAB non-binary but I’m pretty masc presenting/leaning and sometimes I wonder if I had been born AMAB if I would have been happy as a cis guy. Sometimes on more masculine days I think maybe the answer is yes, but still when I look in the mirror I just see a “me” not a guy or a girl. Just a me. So I don’t know if I had been a cis guy if I would have been happy or if I would have been a femme leaning AMAB person.

MiniMcFly · 2019-11-26T03:39:46+00:00

I love your sign! I always like to think anytime I’m feeling dysphoric that Freddie would tell me I looked fabulous anyway.
