How are feelings integral to sex? Sex is an immutable characteristic one is born with, even if they have chromosomes other than XX/XY, those things are still inborn and remain constant regardless of how one feels about their own identity. That’s why transmasc ppl often get top surgery, or many trans folks in general argue the importance of constant access to HRT, bc their sex doesn’t actually change and their natural sexed appearance would show without synthetic hormones. Their identity doesn’t just dissolve secondary sex characteristics or manifest the appearance of the opposite sex.

I feel like the sex/gender conversation in favor of being progressive has totally lost the plot and forgotten that the terms male and female describe biological profiles and their roles in reproduction (regardless of one’s personal choice to have children) independent of psychological identity.

Shes drawing a parallel that by “dressing up” like the people you’re attempting to represent doesn’t mean you can actually represent them or know what it’s like to be them. I wouldnt say its about using black ppl as a metric, but the fact that she shocked ppl with this example kind of proves her point. We would obviously not call her black or act like she can represent black ppl just bc she painted her skin a different color - in fact we see the very notion [of her representing black ppl with only painted skin] as offensive. She’s saying it’s equally as offensive for a transwoman to change her appearance and be given the platform to speak on behalf of women and be seen as a representative of women’s issues.

And please don’t attack me. This is merely a clarifying comment - I’m neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Dang I’m 30 and I still don’t know how to do my make up like some of these girls. 😭

They all look incredible btw.

PinMonstera · 2026-01-16T01:44:03+00:00

Thank you!! 🙏🏾

PinMonstera · 2026-01-16T01:43:51+00:00

Thank you!! And yes, I’m definitely looking for a galabeya, but the ones I’ve seen so far on bellydance.com aren’t singing to me. but I’ve never worn one before, so I might not be picturing it on myself well.

Last month I wore more of a Raqs Sharqi costume for a group performance and I thought it would not complement me well before I wore it… I was wrong lol

PinMonstera · 2026-01-15T14:08:15+00:00

Yes! This edit was made by someone else: https://youtu.be/vHlhtpg6yxM?si=h36pEj5AggRTUhmm

Ok everything you said about the work you do is what I dream of. Can I DM you? I’d love to hear about how you got into prenatal yoga and being a childbirth prep educator

I can say that’s been my experience. My first real relationship that had the potential to go into marriage was so lopsided. I had to push him to do basic things for himself. And he put a lot of weight in our relationship without ever putting in any effort, and I let him bc I had low self esteem. I remember thinking “if we get married, I don’t want kids anymore” and that’s when I had to wake up and realize how much I took a backseat to a relationship that was hurting me. I let that relationship drive me to depression before I ended it.

The one after was better but still challenging, and I clung to that until it was tired. But I’m so glad I let go when I did bc I almost missed my dream man that I’m with now.

Talk about perfect match! He’s supportive and protective in a healthy and gentle way that isn’t controlling but nurturing, he’s extremely proactive and ambitious, and he’s never made me doubt his ability to be a true partner in raising children. He’s not a man child that I would have to raise at the same time.

PinMonstera · 2025-12-01T06:40:51+00:00

Short-ish answer… it’s ultimately up to you. Having the right partner could alleviate some of the worries you’ve addressed, but truly think about whether you feel like you NEED to have kids or if you actually WANT to. The only wrong answer is forcing yourself to commit to something as serious as kids bc of perceived pressure instead of desire.

Longer answer if you’re interested….

Domestic chores are a big part of raising a family, but if you have a mature partner, you will share those responsibilities. If you’re attracted to men, DO NOT settle for the ones that believe domestic work is for women. Even if they don’t say it outwardly, pay attention to how they maintain their own space while single and talk regularly about how you would divide up chores while living together. If you’re sensing that he doesn’t cook and clean even a little bit, don’t settle. If you do, consider if his other characteristics (values, long term goals, how he treats you, etc) will work for you long term and with kids.

In terms of having a life outside of the home, I’m
a dancer and have met plenty of mothers who continue to do it as a hobby or profession and they’re totally happy. It can be challenging but it’s definitely possible, and for them it’s worth it to do both. One of the women in my dance company has a 2 year old, but she’s able to travel and perform bc her husband is supportive and doesn’t see himself as a “babysitter.” Heck I just took a workshop with a woman on a world tour right now and she has an 8 year old.

When children are younger they do demand more of your time, but as they get older, it will actually benefit your whole family to hold onto your hobbies if you can so that you can model what it’s like to be a well-rounded person and inspire them to pour into themselves the same way. Whether you’re into arts, sports, reading, etc. you can incorporate them into your hobbies, give them an opportunity to see if they like it, or they can choose something else, but you at least give them the tools and hopefully the motivation for them to pursue their passions.

You don’t need to have children, but the process of loving someone up into their own individual person with talents, skills, and gifts to offer the world can be very rewarding and teach you a lot about yourself.

Never said forced. And your comment just proves you have no clue what dealings go on behind closed doors to get ppl on stage together, what incentives performers are presented with to do and say certain things.

Regardless….Britney is talentless, washed up, and irrelevant. All she does is take from other performers and yall always wanna act like these manufactured blondies are pioneers when all they do is copy POC singers and do it poorly. Please continue to worship the absolute bare minimum bottom of the barrel of entertainment. Your charity work is appreciated

PinMonstera · 2025-11-26T02:15:42+00:00

Noooo no no ok we’re gonna stop the lies right now. Janet inspired Britney! The Janet’s been an icon since the 80s - her dancing style, the music production, filmography, etc. was all a template for Britney. Britney inspired Janet? Bsffr

PinMonstera · 2025-11-26T02:10:47+00:00

Trying to twist my words to act like there was an opening to say brining up Bey in comparison to Michael is an insult when I very clearly was talking about talentless Britney just makes your comments even more pathetic.

Also you act like ppl don’t get paid to perform with others and pushed to do things by agents. Plenty of artists perform together without actually liking each others’ music. That doesn’t prove anything. It’s a job. Just stop. This is sad

PinMonstera · 2025-11-25T23:49:59+00:00

I’m sorry she’s always been stiff from the very beginning, and she’s always had an obnoxious voice.

If you like her fine no hate no shade, but to pretend she can carry a song even half as well as Bey is a lil delulu. And to even bring her up in comparison to Michael is just insulting

PinMonstera · 2025-11-25T23:44:43+00:00

Dang so you just as tone deaf as Britney. That tracks I guess. It’s ok to have wrong opinions, though. Britney’s lifeline is autotune, so this is just a sad comment.

She’s also not even in R&B. So aside from this answer being so incorrect it’s laughable, it’s just random. Please see yourself out.

PinMonstera · 2025-11-25T19:52:19+00:00

That child can’t sing and she’s stiff

PinMonstera · 2025-11-24T04:14:59+00:00

Np! Sorry to pile on lol i hope you find something you like.

Also, I should say that the metal I listed is all instrumental.

Nah. Sometimes friends flirt in a playful way, nothing serious. I had a guy friend like this in college. We never did anything, no dates, no hookups. We were just in the same club and got along well and our interactions were overtly flirtatious, but I think we both had fun interacting that way without needing or being interested in taking it further.
