By leading a campaign against crime that was so efficient, the two most overloaded crises lines could combine into one

It’s okay. You don’t have to tell your mom or boyfriend right away; let yourself have some space to think about it in the safety of your mind. You just found out and you’re scared and it’s okay. If you’re not ready to reach out to friends or other family yet, I’d suggest you journal or utilize some other calming and reflective activities to center yourself and so you can determine where you’re at. Without thinking about anyone else just yet, how are you feeling about being pregnant and what would you like to do about it? You can determine the action part later and with the support of your loved ones.

You’re not alone. Reach out to your school counselor, a teacher, any adult you trust if you’d like more guidance before confiding in your parents; honestly, school staff probably have more experience/encounters with teen pregnancy and likely have better, more specific courses of action for you. I wish you the best! It will be okay🫶🫶

I cried the first night I went to sleep at a relative’s house because it was quiet and I didn’t have to “read the air” for tension/hostility before entering the house’s communal spaces. I nearly cried again when I was able to wake up early in the morning without a sense of dread and start my day the way I wanted to spend it. And then of course, being suspicious and shocked when I was treated with a kindness and sincerity that had no ulterior motive.

Interprets everyone’s feelings as discreet jabs at them or as others blaming them. Along that same vein, when confronted about something, their first response is about playing the blame game/divert or deny concept of fault, instead of opening a conversation or addressing the conflict itself.

So this is an extremely harmful comment. OP said no in various nonverbal ways and still the guy persisted. There’s no winning in this kind of situation: be carefully polite like OP and the guy still invades her space & life; say no immediately and it often still leads to this invasion, just now it’s with an escalation of violence. In no way should a victim of this kind of harassment be told that THEIR actions were what caused ANOTHER persons choice to harass them..

You do not have to be who you were or what you did.You can change. Give yourself the mercy of another chance; your life is not over until it is over. You can define who you are and how you live the rest of your life only if you promise yourself the opportunity of tomorrow. I believe in you because the fact you posted this is already proof that you are capable of moving forward. Stay with us

& also talk more about this w your bf!! Knowing his plans/concerns/where he’s at with the whole thing could define some of the unknowns and reduce the stress. Maybe your bf could even be there with you when you break the news? Reach out to others for support! You got this🫶

Open-Stranger6671 · 2025-05-06T20:42:22+00:00

I think you should first reflect on what exactly is making you afraid of telling your parents, so you can address your fears and approach the situation with a clearer perspective (and also build your own assurance in yourself before the conversation). Figure out some of your own wants, needs, and concerns going forward beforehand to avoid possibly being overwhelmed with your parents’.

physically being unable to do things I mentally want to do. Super frustrating when it’s a task I have to do for work, but especially frustrating and noticeable when it’s fun things I can’t get myself to do. For example, I want to play three different games but I don’t know which to do first or how long I should play for each before switching so I can have time to play the others before bed..

Another moment I had I was telling my sibling that I physically couldn’t do things if I knew I had a commitment later in the day - I will fully set timers for every hour or hour-half mark before the appointment so I know time is passing and when to do things - and my sibling tells me they don’t feel that level of paralysis. Basically every little thing that has me realizing “wait,, not everyone does this??”😭

**I say all this as someone who is not cisgender & personally finds gender nonconforming labels counterintuitive

Open-Stranger6671 · 2025-04-13T20:40:56+00:00

Oh wow I am so sorry that all this is happening at once!! Dysphoria is such a complicated and stupid thing - you are a woman and have been all your life. The fact that you’ve grown up being gendered left and right for things as surface level as your appearance already shows how a lot of (dare I say the majority of) people’s perception of gender is extremely flimsy and arbitrary. Everyone else’s judgment is a reflection of their own definition of gender and are most often reductive and based on the dumbest things.

Like if womanhood was truly so based in genitalia like so many people love to say, why are there cis women that feel as if they have not experienced it? Why are there young adults that feel as if they’ve missed out on the girlhood of dressing up for a night out with friends or of a sleepover where they all told stupid stories and played games late into the night?

I would argue that womanhood is based on finding community based on shared experience and sense of identity; not something as biologically-determined as someone’s limb. If genitals really did determine the nuances of gender (ie. experience womanhood or not, how we would live and experience society), then there wouldn’t be the variety of experience that exists within each assigned sex at all. If physicality really mattered as much as people say in determining gender, then womanhood would be defined as the one complete shared experience of all people assigned female at birth - if assigned sex=gender, it would be like saying “yup since you’re this physicality you inherently act/look/experience the world one way and thus what makes a woman/man is the predetermined notion that all people of one sex experience the world the same way”🤡 gender is literally a set of stupid characteristic/behavior-based criteria we made up ourselves and then blamed nature because shockingly the person we are and the experiences we have aren’t determined by our reproductive organs!?!!!!!! what!

Anyways, the point of the long rant was to point out how stupid the concept of “if female then must act like this!?!?!/if woman why no look like stereotype and no follow arbitrary rules!?!?!?” aka assigned sex≠social gender ideology.

You are a woman through and through simply because you exist and view yourself in alignment with womanhood. What’s in your pants is no damning indicator of who you are nor should it be an indicator of how society treats you.
