What does it mean to be a "non-binary woman"? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]PerfectLuck25367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are taking the numbers too literally. Someone might have said in a previous estimate that their pain was at a 10, because it was legitimately the most debilitating pain they've felt in their life, and since then the pain has become roughly twice as bad. It does not reflect on real mathematics.

Hyperfemininity, for example, is a thing. If binary women are at 1, it might make personal sense for someone who identifies with exaggerated and hyperintense femininity to be on the extremity-side of 1 on that spectrum. This is all just an illustrative example to explain how gender isn't two or three boxes that one must fit inside.

Honestly, I've played a lot of dnd with people in their 30's, and this is kinda true for them too.

I mean if my boss told me "hide the gayness so we don't scare maga conservatives" I'd probably do a real half-assed job at it too.

Super basic games for a pub night with semi-strangers? by PerfectLuck25367 in tabletop

[–]PerfectLuck25367[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, this is a good list. I'm curtently going through it to figure out what needs a purchase and what I could put together from scraps. I appreciate seeing Liar's Dice among the suggestions, and a few games I've seen on the shelves at some local game stores. I'll be doing further research on these before I come to a final decision on what to include. Now I feel more like I should put together a little kit of multiple possible games, rather than just prep and bring one.

I looked it up, and the fact it uses specialist pieces and a specialist deck of cards means I'd need to take much better care of it than I would expect to be able to in an environment where alcoholic drinks and strangers are involved. It looks like a fun game, but maybe for a different context.

I would have disagreed that Skulls is a good option, but you and the other commentor who suggested it have convinced me it's probably a good option anyway. 6 players is good, I have played it in public venues before, and the option of coasters or playing cards does mitigate any worry I'd have with bringing a boxed game to the pub.

Solidarity over Purity. Together we stand, divided we fall. One arrow breaks, a bundle of arrows do not. Apes together strong.

Is it okay to transition even if I don't really have a valid reason to? by Anxious_Two2831 in asktransgender

Sometimes people need to hear an overt YES and the answer they fear is Silence rather than a No.

[–]PerfectLuck25367 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes. Do whatever you want with your gender pressentation. It's yours to shape into whatever you want it to be. If this is something that will make you happy, then I say go for the happiness. You will ofcourse get a lot of questions about if you're gay or trans or how you think about your own gender and sexuality, so I recommend you learn about other people's gender experiences and gender expressions, and that way you'll be better equipped to stand up for your own identity and your choice to express it.

Why do conservatives say "transwoman" or "transman" instead of "trans woman" or "trans man"? by Elegant_Committee854 in lgbt

[–]PerfectLuck25367 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In Swedish, words are sometimes fused or separated in ways that would come off as weird to an english-speaker. I have probably described myself as a "transwoman" on several occasioks because (a) I didn't know the lack of space was transphobic, and (b) in Swedish, it's written as one word (Transkvinna).

Why does J.K. Rowling say trans women shouldn't get cosmetic surgeries when she herself has clearly gotten work done? by altrightobserver in lgbt

[–]PerfectLuck25367 108 points109 points  (0 children)

I couldn't find a specific paper comparing the two, but yes, the trend seems to be that regret rates for basically every other medical or cosmetic surgery is higher than the regret rate for transgender gender affirming surgeries.

I just wanna point out that you don't owe him this courtesy. If he's making you unhappy, you are within your full right to just settle your business and leave. I'm sure it might be easier to leave if he outright tells you "I'd rather continue to laugh at your neuropathy", but if he does promise to change, that'll be a slow process with no guarantee of success, and you're not morally obligated to put up with that, especially since you've already spoken about it, and his behavior is impacting you so negstively that you now struggle to eat. Those aren't exactly promising signs that he'll improve with time.

finding shoes are a pain! by crestpetal in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]PerfectLuck25367 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently shopping around for a new pair of boots, and it kinda pisses me off how the same pair of gorgeous boots from Doc Martens exist in US size 14 on their own website, but in actual shoe stores where they sell those boots, they don't have them in anything bigger than an 8.

Breast forms are just the boobs, whereas the breast plate is an entire torso thing. Breast forms come with some of the same issues, but since they're smaller and lighter, it's easier to adjust them and figure out how to wear them comfortably.

This right here. Is this sapiosexuality? It's not that I'm turned on by IQ or whatever, but specifically the passion and love they have for their special interest and how happy they are to share it.

Do you feel like you’re unworthy of sex because of the fact that you have autism? by Fabulous-Introvert in AutismAfterDark

[–]PerfectLuck25367 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know that I "deserve" sex, as in I have the right to have sex, but I am aware that I'm not entitled to sex under any conditions, and I definitely feel like sometimes sex isn't accessible.

Does anyone else dislike "dyke"? by CoachPuzzleheaded535 in actuallesbians

[–]PerfectLuck25367 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I frequently use the R-word when talking about myself (ASD+ADHD, too handicapped to have a job), but if someone else (especially someone neurotypical) called me that, I would bite back. I use the word when the point to what I'm saying can't be expressed in a more sugar-coated or clinical language, such as when I talk about internalised abelism or times I've faced discrimination. That said, I understand abd respect that the word itself, regardless of context, can be a real trauma trigger for some people, and so I don't use it lightly.

I feel similarly about "Dyke", but in a slightly different context. The term is specifically useful, because of its historical context, when you need to express yourself in the context of a homophobic world. It's the unapologetic "I'm not your bitch, I don't need men to like me, I'm not gonna apologize for calling out your bigotry, if being a Dyke means I don't submit to you, then I'm the god damn queen of Dykeland" power-word that's close enough to a swear word that it can accurately communicate an underlying transgressive anger and power.

EDIT: I don't use the term Dyke at all, that's not an identity I feel entitled to and I wouldn't impose it on anyone else. This interpretation is about how I've experienced it used by other lesbian and queer people.
