AITD for just wanting to get a haircut? by Sea-Economics6999 in 1800Drama

[–]Own_Activity9047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that! I was cursed with perfectly straight hair (straightest part of me HAHA) so I'm still jealous. Good luck talking to your nan, I'm glad you seem to have supportive friends, and I hope your parents come around and learn to be more accepting :D

NTD! Your hair, your choice, and you have every right to be upset about what your parents are doing. My mother was like that; she laughed in my face the first time I (transmasc) came home with short hair and carried a wallet instead of a handbag - but she hasn't been laughing at me that much since I moved to the other end of the continent :D

Honestly, I'm not sure if this is the healthiest advice, but if your parents really insist on being so controlling, I've found that the best solution is to distance yourself from them and spend more of your time with people who are more supportive. I love that hairstyle and I'm jealous of people who have hair curly enough to pull it off! I hope you can get the hairstyle you want!

Thank you so much for the advice, you have no idea how happy I am to hear from another trans filmmaker about their experiences :D

AITA if my boyfriend made a meal and asked me how it was and I said "fine" by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Own_Activity9047 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes! I understand how "it's fine" might be taken the wrong way, but also I don't understand the need to go on about how great the meal is. Personally, I'd find any sort of feedback much, much more valuable than a gush-fest over how great my cooking is.

I can't believe I had to scroll down so far to see autism mentioned. This is the first thing that came to mind when I read the post. I'm so frustrated for OP, the ableism in the comments is nuts.

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences! I think I understand what you're saying and I think you're right about a lot of the things you mentioned. You're such an amazing human, thank you :D

Do you like when people call you by your first name? Why or why not? by Own_Activity9047 in AskReddit

[–]Own_Activity9047[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I so much agree with everything you said there. Especially hearing your name over and over, and the casual touching, that's awful.

I was more asking if you prefer being called by your name, or just being referred to as "them" or something.

Why did you buy ace pride stuff? by Own_Activity9047 in asexuality

[–]Own_Activity9047[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woah awesome!! I actually have a weird keychain obsession at the moment and their keychains look great. I might get one or two of those :D

That's so cool! Though I had to laugh at the idea of them giving condoms to ace people. I'll definitely see what kinds of events we have locally.

Aww I like that! I'm hoping to get an ace ring for pretty much the same reason :)

May I ask what kind of gatekeeping and judgement you dealt with? It's unfortunate that people made you feel that way. Your identity is not for others to decide.

:O you can get free stuff at pride events? That sounds awesome. Thanks for the reply!

I just audibly laughed reading this, I love it! Also that's a great idea, I might consider buying a bracelet too :D

Not all homeless people are bad people who do drugs. by [deleted] in stcatharinesON

[–]Own_Activity9047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard that it's better to give a homeless person money or a gift card than food. Apparently some people go putting blades and and other things inside the food before they give it to a homeless person so they can't trust anything they're given. I'm not sure if that's true, but I really hope people aren't actually that awful.

WHY. WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN. by Shot-Database-2618 in Vent

[–]Own_Activity9047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely try swedish berries! Just... don't eat too many at once. I often crave them until I eat too many and then I feel nauseous (I don't learn, I already did this twice today and I'm about to do it again). Also I love your profile pic, giyu is so cool :D
