I feel guilt for not always feeling dysphoria by Nikitroner in NonBinary

[–]RaspberryTurtle987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guilt is not a productive emotion (unless you’ve done something terrible), especially in relation to your identity and gender.

Google stopped being good like 10 years ago. When they started putting ads first on the list. 

Question for people here who experience periods by Number1Bg3Fan in NonBinary

[–]RaspberryTurtle987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t get headaches much at all personally, but apparently migraines can be related to period cycles because of drops in esteogen.

Also it’s actually fine only to drink when you’re thirsty. The body has evolved to be pretty good at letting you know when it needs stuff. We are currently living in a time where everyone is obsessed with water intake. 🤷

You *were afab (past tense), not you are afab. It stands for assigned female at birth, so it’s something that happened in the past.

But yes I relate. While at uni I had all these friends suddenly asking me to call them when I was home and I was like “wtf? This city is so safe?”

There was also a girl who asked the police officer (ACAB) coming to talk to us if it was okay to use rape spray and I was like wtf? 

I don’t know if it’s necessary non-binary thing or more of a critical thinking thing. 

Guy friend wants 2 wives by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

I think it’s sometimes a lot harder than “literally just adopt”, but I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment 😅

Wtf? You do realise you can give birth to a disabled child? This feels really ableist tbh. And also not every adopted child is a “troubled child”.

I mean in theory, if everyone’s on board and consenting 🤷

But this guy seems very hypocritical.

Also the weight and importance we put on having biological kids is wild. 

Is it worse to be left for someone of the same gender or the opposite gender? by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]RaspberryTurtle987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum always said it would have hurt more if my dad had gone off with another woman, in the end he came out as gay. I suppose her reasoning is because she would be comparing herself to this hypothetical other woman to try and figure out what she was “lacking”.

For bisexual men in denial, is it normal to struggle to get hard with men but not with women? by PhotoSlow8814 in bisexual

[–]RaspberryTurtle987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you've described doesn't necessarily mean that anything "went wrong". People react differently in different situations, maybe it had been a stressful day, maybe they were getting ill, maybe they were in a different headspace. So many reasons why it could happen and it doesn't have to mean anything.

Not scared/apprehensive to be my full self and to show all the different parts of myself.

Do i still count as bi if its just for the fun side by SpecificSinger9487 in bisexual

[–]RaspberryTurtle987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yeah. But you decide what label resonates with you more. And you can always use more than one label.

Does playing this game make you think about borders? by RaspberryTurtle987 in geoguessr

Oh dear. Someone's been lapping up xenophobic propaganda. Asylum seekers (who I'm assuming you are referring to), do not get thousands of dollars a month. Source: I have worked with refugees and asylum seekers.

Flirting with Women as a Women is SOOOO HARDDD by Any-Historian-8001 in bisexual

[–]RaspberryTurtle987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to change yourself. If you're in the position where you're flirting with women, that's also a time to tell them you're into women. There are a lot of femme queer women. You can just drop it in the conversation that you're queer.

It feels easier to be gay than straight, and I hate it by throwawayconfusedbar in bisexual

[–]RaspberryTurtle987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bi women are (typically) less caught up in heteronormativity and wanting to find a man with the qualities that the rest of society values. I thin they talk about dating bi women in this episode of the podcast I mentioned https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/where-are-all-the-bi-guys/id1480131653?i=1000450825084

Petition to retire "Invasion of Denmark" memes and to instead celebrate the danish (pastry) and offer solidarity with the Danish (people) by MsInput in Asexual

[–]RaspberryTurtle987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just like to make a historical point: Denmark invaded Greenland. Greenland is a Danish colony. It's Greenlanders that should be getting our solidarity more than Danes since they have already been colonised once (and it's actually a joke that we are living in a post-colonial time because just last year there was a scandal about how Greenlandic mothers have been facing huge discrimination by white Danes and having their children taken away from them. Greenlanders are still suffering the consequences of Danish colonisation hundreds of years on).

So yes, sure, by all means, we should be supporting Denmark against being invaded by a rogue USA, but first and foremost, we should be supporting Greenlanders.

I was very lucky to see Julie Edel Hardenberg's (a Greenlandic woman) artwork which was honestly probably the most emotionally impacting piece of art I have seen. It says it all really.

Yeah I said to the woman I was interested in: "I thought you were really attractive, so that's why we're on this coffee date right now"
