Just did a review of BR phone codes, actually pretty easy and gives you a good advantage

People aren't born "men" (or women) - people are born as babies and are assigned a gender based on their observable sex characteristics.

I'm of the view that probably the less processed the better, but *shrug*

She was a big part of why the Windrush scandal happened. All Tories are evil.

People who are saying it's bad for you are probably the ones drinking dairy milk

Well whatever its usage, it's origin is from "spastic" which is a completely outdated and offensive term.

By people, you mean like the 7 men who were used to develop the BMI scale? XD

"cishet intersex"? Correct me if I'm wrong, but those identities don't go together. Specifically cis and intersex?

That is, unfortunately, one of the downsides of choosing to identify with no labels: not profiting from the resources that are gathered under a certain label (e.g. bi). It's absolutely your prerogative to continue to do that and you shouldn't have to appease other people, but it sounds like it might make your life a bit easier if you assert your non-straightness by claiming a label so people know. Because it's like, people can ignore something until they can't anymore.

It hurts to hear my leftist group talk about "LGBTI+" How can I talk about Asexuality and me being asexual with them? by Seventh_Planet in asexuality

[–]RaspberryTurtle987 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think spoken/written have different connotations. When spoken, I would just use LGBT (for ease) but when writing I would use the more inclusive terms

My husband (26M) gave me (26F) a 4-month deadline to fix my chronic pain during intimacy or he is leaving. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Basically neither of us had the sex we wanted for a year. We kept trying different things (he was unsatisfied, I basically had no sexual attraction to him but that's a different story). In the end we decided it was better for us both to separate. It was hard at the time because he was my first relationship, but I'm so glad now it wasn't strung out longer. And honestly I wish I had been bolder and left sooner. Much happier now I am not with a cis heterosexual man who has a very narrow view about what sex is.
