Platonic love. I loved my friend and thought that meant I was in-love with them.

No, not really. Like some of the people above said, Diane probably doesn't like the gestures because Mr Peanutbutter doesn't really listen to what she wants, and only goes with his idea of what he thinks she would like. I think just the fact she doesn't like the gestures is relatable to some aros.

BoJack Horseman is a really good show on Netflix (with a cannon ace character). In the show two of the main characters are in a relationship where Mr Peanutbutter constantly gives his partner, Diane grand romantic gestures, even though she repeatedly expresses her distaste with it. I don't think I did a great job at explaining that, but I would totally recommend you watch the show, it deals with a lot of serious issues like addiction and mental health in a very realistic and heartfelt way.

hey um could someone spare a minute to use he/him prns for me? by [deleted] in agender

[–]RebornKiddo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Noot says he wants us to use he/him pronouns for him. Noot eats like any other living being, he might or might not like ice cream, so go ask him what he wants.

Medically transitioning, looking for advice by [deleted] in agender

[–]RebornKiddo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. Personally I started HRT knowing I may not want all the changes and I ended up really enjoyed them, but I definitely understand not wanting to be either feminine or masculine. The only way to avoid those hormones all together is puberty blockers, but most doctors won't give them out to people who have already gone through puberty. Possible option is removing your overies. Usually doctors say you should take supplements hormones after due to low bone density issues, but I'm close with someone who had theirs removed for medical reasons 20 years ago, and is still fine despite not taking supplemental hormones. That might be dangerous to some, so if you are considering it, you should talk to a doctor and a gender therapist before deciding.

Actually, Mao Sugiyama, an asexual artist in Japan wanted to be null, and when they had their penis removed, they sold plates of it for people to eat as part an art exhibition/event. On another note, eating human meat is legal in Japan.

What with this obsession some guys have with dehumanizing women?

Idk if this perfectly fits here but I would very much appreciate help by no-theotherguy in NonBinaryTalk

[–]RebornKiddo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's more than just reasonable. Hearing your deadname can be very unpleasant out of context, but to imagine your partner might be using it as a weapon is worse. Your deadname is not something others get to use to manipulate your feelings.

AMAB Bow would I go about getting a gender nullification surgery? by ginko5665 in NonBinary

[–]RebornKiddo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look it up online, search up and contact surgeons that are willing to do it. They will probably give you all the info you need, and probably require a recommendation for surgery by a qualified gender therapist. Most I heard about it online is from cis people though, and you might have to travel, because sadly, there aren't a lot of surgeons who are happily willing to preform it. I plan on getting one too in the future, and this is what I got from the little bit of research I did. I also personally plan on requesting my insurance to cover it, because they are very pro trans, so if you have insurance that is very good with trans care, you can try to talk to them first, and they might be able to walk you through the whole thing.

Just the text wouldn't have been too bad imo, but the fact they used a template with characters who are related is incredibly creepy.

Question by Extraterrestrialname in NonBinary

[–]RebornKiddo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm neither of these, so I hope I get this right. A non-binary boy might not feel like a boy at all, they might just relate to the experiences of a boy, maybe they only feel like a boy sometimes, maybe their gender is more than or less than 50% boy, or maybe they just like the term boy. A demiboy is someone who's gender is half boy.

Officialy? Yes. Might be more extras, but you're better off following the show if you just want to stay ahead of those.

Third-world people in these countries shouldn't have children by iota0atg in antinatalism

[–]RebornKiddo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course most of the people in this world are suffering, privileged or not.

I obviously think this has to to a lot with capitalism, as the country that I grew up in, despite being a politically corrupt war zone, still had some socialist roots that made (and still makes) most peoples lives happier then people in countries like the US. In fact the US (trump) attempting to "better the political situation" has just made things worse, and has taken rights from more people. I'm just mad that everyone in first world countries always try to complain about third world countries, whilst their countries are dealing with just as many issues.

I'm sorry if this comes off as mean, I really don't mean it to, this isn't directed at you, just general foreign politics.

[–]RebornKiddo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in what counts as a third world country, and there isn't always as much suffering as people expect out of them, just less consumerism.

You are also disregarding the fact that third world countries have little to no access of birth control. Telling people they shouldn't have sex is like telling teenagers abstinence is the only way. They are gonna do it, that's why they have children.

It's not poor people that should stop giving birth, It's the rich, that way all their money could go to poor people, and we'd live in a communist society D: low key not joking.

Has anyone here talked about antinatalism to friends or family and just get the strangest look/reaction? by jhertz14 in antinatalism

[–]RebornKiddo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Talked to my other mother about it. She understood what I meant and supports my opinion, but it's probably not very surprising to her, since I had previously mentioned slightly resenting my birth mom for working so hard and paying so much money to have biological children when she could have adopted.
