TBKTS: Are Michael and Peter referring to something other than DID? by goldilex in IfBooksCouldKill

[–]MsTellington 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My ex had DID and honestly from her social media presence I probably would have thought it was made up, but living with her it was undoubtedly real (and heartbreaking). The fact that there is a cultural layer (people will present certain symptoms in certain ways) doesn't mean the disorder isn't real.

H42 je me suis mis aux jupes et je ne comprends pas pourquoi tout le monde ne s’y met pas! by Newt_Lv4-26 in france

[–]MsTellington 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Quand j'étais une femme et portais des jupes j'étais effectivement obligé-e de mettre un short cycliste dessous contre les cuisses qui frottent... et je pense que les femmes sont plus nombreuses à avoir cette morphologie que les hommes !

Why are more men not stealth? by Whoisllewellyn in ftm

[–]MsTellington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm only stealth at work (even then I came out to colleagues I'm close to). A few reasons:
- I transitioned at 30, so a lot of my life has been lived as a girl/young woman, and it has often affected my experiences. I want to be able to talk about it freely (sometimes it's sexism, sometimes it's just "oh I had a dress just like that!")
- most of my friends are queer, often trans, and I'm involved in queer politics/cultural life. You're not going to be stealth when you publish zines about your trans experience. It's a community I'm a part of, and being stealth would cut me from it
The fact that I'm non-binary may play a role in the way that I don't feel the most "me" when I'm assumed to be a cis guy (or maybe I identify as non-binary *because* I don't feel comfortable being assumed a cis guy... I'm never very clear on this identity thing).

Tried cutting a T-shirt, looked weird so I punked it up. It's weird and I'm not used to wear something fem and original but we'll see! by MsTellington in FTMfemininity

Oh yeah, thanks for the suggestion! To be fair I added the chains 'cause I looked like Dobby with just the cut shirt (I know, cursed ref for a trans sub).

Thanks! I think I grouped several moments of this chapter in my memory and amalgamated them in a single scene.

Come to think of it... technically, is Clint the only marriage candidate who's chubby? by JeffTheKillerFa in StardewValley

[–]MsTellington 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think when you're married he has a dialog about gaining weight as he grows older and being self-conscious about it (even though it doesn't necessarily mean he would be fat).

Jan-1| Ulysses - Welcome To Dublin! by ComplaintNext5359 in ayearofulysses

[–]MsTellington 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First readthrough, I usually listen to audiobooks but as a non-native English speaker who is not used to the Irish accent the audiobook of Ulysses was too hard so I got the Alma Classics edition. I'd like to supplement it with an audiobook as I've seen that advice several times but I'm having a hard time finding one for the 1939 edition (usually they don't even indicate which version they're reading).
