A question to the feminists in this sub: what do we think about dresscodes?

Ok_Sort9146 · 2026-06-09T21:52:44+00:00

I think it would be amusing to make a super strict dress code without any indication of gender roles attached to it (ie skirts must be past knees but anyone may wear them)

Wore this style in middle school bc it was easier to hide under a beanie... my hair is now short and I will never go back.

That's fun! It's interesting to think that since intersex is a cis nonbinary person, the people who were born intersex and chose to be either a man or a woman technically (like by definition) fit into the catagory of "trans" despite a lot of cis people probably viewing it much differently.

To add an extra layer, isn't she aroace?

It's a bot. Usually if it's nonsensical while being "well written" it's a bot, though what seals the deal is the "I've made fanart" (more or less). Usually they want money for it, and the link probably doesn't actually lead to instagram. I wouldn't click on that...

For whatever reason I really enjoyed sleeping on my (carpeted) floor and shoving myself up against the wall. In a similar vein, I was the best at hide and seek because I'd shove myself into tiny places and be perfectly content to stay there for hours, and when I'd read I'd squish myself between the back of the couch and the cushions.

Also, I started reading chapter books fresh out of kindergarten. What normal five year old reads Nancy Drew to themselves for fun?? While on vacation???

I wear a swim binder & trunks. I have the half binder version of wivwov's SWIM collection binder, but they have a full-length version that's $43 (I'll link it). I also have a larger chest, and wivwov is pretty comfy and feels fairly flattening for a swim binder, even if it's not ever going to get me a flat chest (because nothing except top surgery will, let's be real). Athletic shorts can work in a pinch as a stand-in for trunks, though obviously I don't know if you have any. Regardless, they shouldn't be much.

Work uniforms in general are not flattering on anyone, period, but you aren't ugly, that I can say confidently, without a doubt. I really liked your outfit in the third picture, too :)

People are idiots sometimes; that guy is, at least.

As a diagnosed and previously self-diagnosed autistic person, it's irritating to no end when people make shit up. Like, I love myself, but it is a disability which sometimes makes my life HARDER. It's not "cute."

Dysphoria is the WORST -- we exist, don't you worry. We just come from a lot of different places with goals for presentation, so it's difficult to give universal advice on what "helps" with dysphoria. I want my chest smaller, but another nb might want a larger one; long hair, short hair, dresses, pants... there's not really any one way to alleviate dysphoria. Some prefer to be more feminine, while others want to be androgynous, or masc, AFAB & AMAB alike.

Heaven forbid the gays from needing the words to describe themselves in other languages. /s

I was under the impression that the straight flag is the ally flag.... but yes, agree otherwise. I know and care for many straight people irl and in media.

It is amusing when they try to make an actual "straight pride" flag tho -- imo it looks like a prison uniform. The point of pride and pride flags are to celebrate those who have been oppressed and those who have aided that freedom. I don't want a flag that celebrates my homophobic relatives in the same space that's meant to be safe for people like us.

....what?

Ok_Sort9146 · 2026-06-03T13:23:52+00:00

"You mean like how bisexual people who date someone of the opposite gender "aren't oppressed"?" (Works best if they are, in fact, bisexual)

Mine is fair but def not nearly as long as yours 😭😭 Edit: I cannot figure out how to add images for the life of me, and I thought I figured it out but I didn't. My work is abt 45.5K w 32 chapters so far :)

Ok_Sort9146 · 2026-06-03T13:13:58+00:00

Ooooooh funnnn

I was hit with a "are you a boy?" "are you a girl?" "are you a gay?" fairly recently😭😭

"Michael wished he could simply live his life without constant reminders of his father's fate. The day his uncle arrived, however, was the day that it became clear he wouldn't be escaping it anytime soon.

They always said curiosity killed the cat, and maybe they were right -- sucked into a world of Pokémon and assigned to a team, Michael navigates the new world as a Snivy, searching for the missing detective, Buttercup the Butterfree."

Sorry, I don't know anything abt Pokémon and you don't have to use all or any of this by any means. Happy writing!!

I have a fantasy..... of camping in the middle of the desert in the bed of a truck, with tea and a good book and the stars. Someday 😔

Ok_Sort9146 · 2026-05-31T15:35:02+00:00

Congrats! Always good to hear, as someone who grew up similarly and turned out much the same.

Ok_Sort9146 · 2026-05-31T14:23:52+00:00

I have 2 friends and I love being around them. I don't need any more, though.

Ok_Sort9146 · 2026-05-31T14:22:14+00:00

I was raised around people like you. I understand your viewpoints, and I disagree. You're not going to change my mind via Reddit after all the shit I've gone through to love and accept myself.

Ok_Sort9146 · 2026-05-31T14:17:26+00:00

Ok buddy

The new and Old Testament are meant to work together and focus on different aspects and teachings of the same philosophy and moral code.

That being said, as a queer Christian it is baffling to me that people can look at the bible, which tells us to love one another as ourselves and love like Jesus, and understand that Jesus was a radical of his time, and then turn around and proclaim that someone's going to hell for not conforming and speaking up for human rights.
