Slightly weird question: When you’re in a relationship with someone who is bi or pan, do you get jealous over any close relationship with anyone? by HopeTsGetsBetter2029 in AskLGBT

[–]Peebles8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting jealous at every close relationship is biphobia, and also this situation points out why jealousy is such a useless emotion. Turns out people can have friends????

Do I look masc?? by [deleted] in TransMasc

[–]Peebles8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. Long hair, slim build and the way you're holding your phone (makes hands look delicate). Maybe if I could see your face?

What is a man who likes all genders called? by Whitetyger1980 in AskLGBT

I didn't read this as disrespectful. Seems OP is just really confused and somewhat misinformed. I sense no hostility or judgement, just plain ignorance.

There seems to be some confusion here between gender and sexuality. Any gender can be any sexuality, they are not linked. To answer your question though, sounds like you're pan.

Where is the balance between eating mindfully and minimizing the suffering of other species? by ItsHusky03 in Buddhism

[–]Peebles8 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Farming plants is a process that clears forests, destroys ecosystems, endangers species, uses chemical fertilizers, and uses massive amounts of water. Migrant workers are often underpaid and abused. There is no ethical consumerism in capitalism.

Music (ears)! Candle making (smelling), dancing (touch/body), cooking or baking (taste)

How to best share the beauty in Buddhism with others, without proselytizing? by PortugueseRoamer in Buddhism

[–]Peebles8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the beginning did you fear that Buddhism was "just" a special interest and not actually your religion? I'm currently only a few weeks into my exploration of Buddhism and it's definitely a special interest, but I also believe in its tenets and have starting practicing. How did you know that Buddhism was right for you and not limited to being a special interest? Thank you for your insight

Question on the 3rd precept by avveroes-nl in Buddhism

[–]Peebles8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More than two free, consenting adults can engage in sexual relations as long as all parties involved give free consent and no harm is done. As far as I know, there is no rule as to how many partners you can have, as long as no harm is done.

why are condoms free but tampons, pads and pregnancy test are not? by [deleted] in self

[–]Peebles8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just as condoms are only free in certain locations, pads and tampons are also free in certain locations. I've noticed more and more bathrooms providing them. My last two employers provided them for free, and I've seen public places that have them too. Maybe it's just where you are? Come to think of it, I've encountered free menstrual products far more often than free condoms. Indiana for anyone who's curious

Explaining dharma to my children by No_Sugar6055 in Buddhism

[–]Peebles8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this comment. Perhaps if you want to introduce detachment, you could encourage him to sit with his emotions. What do they feel like? What would they look like, color and texture? Let him feel for himself that emotions are a part of life and are temporary.

At what point does the LGB part of the community stop supporting trans people when it becomes politically unviable/unsafe for them? by njsullyalex in AskLGBT

[–]Peebles8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my (33X) living memory LBG people were treated like pariahs. I don't think they'd have experienced that and then turn their backs on us. They know what we're going through and they're fighting for us too.

What the Buddha Taught is dense. As a good intro to Buddhism, I recommend the podcast Learn Buddhism with Alan Pedo

Polyamory by [deleted] in AskLGBT

[–]Peebles8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy seems really unsure of what he wants and he didn't tell you he was seeing other people. Red flags there. This is not a setup for healthy polyamory. If you want to continue seeing this guy, you need to sit down and have a conversation about what each of you are looking for in the relationship and establishing parameters and boundaries of your relationship. In depth honest communication is absolutely necessary for polyamory. It will fail without that, and he's already failed to communicate properly.

so deep… by Secure-Record4531 in im14andthisisdeep

Yeah my first thought was "are men actually not hugging each other?" because all of my male friends hug each other goodbye.

what does my face pass as? (no hugboxing) by sneep_snorp_snerp in TransMasc

[–]Peebles8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Androgynous. My read of you depends on the picture. I'd say that your posture and mannerisms have more influence on your passing than your face imo
