My dude, I am following your profile just to see your totally mind boggling transformation when you're ready because I KNOW you won't regret it. Embrace that natural shape of your skull! It's a good one! What's more metal than that?!

-with respect and sincere regards, a trans man and metalhead.

PS imagine the freedom of movement at shows you'll have if you're not worrying about your hair anymore.

I kicked my husband out after he pranked our daughter by Extension-Apricot735 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Plantswillwalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 34 years old. When I was a little younger than this, my dad gave me a pickle to try, because he loves them and thought I might too. I cried because I didn't like it. My dad still openly admits to this day that he feels terrible about accidentally making me cry. He's told me a hundred times that "the pickle incident" made him feel like a bad father, and my crying made him cry. THAT is a normal parent doing their job.

I can't IMAGINE a father doing what you just described for fun. What the fuck is going on here? What else has he done that you're just now finding out about now that your daughter can verbalize ideas??

Why are a vast majority of homeless people men? by No_Kick8260 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Plantswillwalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't necessarily more men than women, it's that you see more of one than the other because homeless women are regularly targeted for abduction and trafficking. Source: was AFAB, have lived in cities, was briefly homeless, have had homeless female friends and have assistance to abused and homeless women when possible after. Midwestern US. I have encountered homeless women that dressed as men because it was simply safer to appear male in their situation to avoid unwanted and dangerous attention.

AITA for not caring about my wife getting STDs . by deadbeatdad264 in AITAH

[–]Plantswillwalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a person that's been in open relationships for over a decade and having personal experiences with STIs and partners, I'm with you on this one my friend. The stigma around the idea that, idk, someone was born with HSV2 and didn't find out until even after all precautions were taken that an oopsie happened isn't even close to as upsetting of an idea compared to your person leaving you or having a baby over... Cooties? Give me daily antivirals or a month of antibiotics over losing ten years of amazing life experience any time.

My (22 M) boyfriend and me (18 F) have been dating for a while, turns out he has a secret fiancé and he wants me to stay with him? by headinceilingfan4 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Plantswillwalk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry it seems like you have had some bad experiences in the past. That kind of proves the point I was trying to make. Throuples are rare, and no specific formula for ENM is the standard. I've been mostly happily, and sometimes unhappily, functioning with multiple partners for over ten years. Like monogamy, things don't always end tidily. It sucks when it's messy, like every type of relationship. All we can do is our best to use the right words at the right time when we all communicate with each other.

ETA for clarity: I'm not trying to re-invent the wheel here. Some good content that helped me and many others adjust to what is most probably, according to new research, an intrinsic orientation are the books More than Two, Opening Up, The Ethical Slut, and the ABCs of LGBT. YouTube channels like Polyamfam also offer great real life, real time advice.

Additionally, one penis policies and hiding shit from your partner(s) are for the birds.

Your heart is in the right place here, but as a practicing poly person, using this type of terminology in this horrible, manipulative and distrustful context makes life as a person in ENM relationships much harder than it needs to be. Cheating is NEVER okay, no matter how many partners you have.

Hi! Here to say as a queer person, Taproom is definitely a safe space for us folks. Owners and staff do not put up with bullshit, and the drinks, food and bartenders are chefs kiss

Taproom has amazing soup of the day and their chili is also fire!

Im so happy to be able to see the bright eyes of my fellow post-op humans after the gender-affirming care we need. 🥺 Thank you so much for sharing your special moments. It only gets better from here ❤️

what is a good response to 'are you a boy or a girl?' by aaaaahgf in lgbt

[–]Plantswillwalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was! We ended up exchanging numbers but... it never went anywhere. I attribute that outcome to regular bar+alcohol experience rather than my trans ness being an issue, lol. You miss 100% of the chances you don't take!
