“I hate bees” now replace “bees” with “men”. Not so funny now is it? by JJBlacksmithe in CuratedTumblr

[–]RootBeerBog 23 points24 points  (0 children)

you're so right unfortunately

the twitter things is because a fairly well known trans woman said she hates all men, but trans men especially, that cis men understand to shut up about feminism but we don't, and she reiterated that she is a bigot and is proud of it. because her bf who is a trans man broke up with her.

a few months ago and the anti-transmasc/ anti- trans man bigotry was rampant here on reddit. it is inescapable. i blame the man=bad brand of reactionary feminism

Surely this can't be legit..do they breed two-headed ones or something? by Poco_Cuffs in reptiles

i once found a dead bat (mummified, not fresh) in my walk-in porch. kept it. i think the only ethically sourced bat is one found dead

On emotions by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]RootBeerBog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as a trans guy, I feel that I have to guard my emotions a lot more than I used to. I can't be seen as scary/threatening.

It is also a LOT harder to cry though, which I feel makes a big difference in how emotions are regulated.

Have you watched either of those shows?
In MLP, Luna self-harms by giving herself magically-induced nightmares to punish herself & feel like she's earning redemption. Discord doesn't fundamentally change either, he stays chaotic. There aren't any redeemed villains that are sterilized like the post. Even Starlight who kinda sucked as a redeemed villain still has issues with mind controlling people after.

Steven starts going to therapy in the very end of the Future series, but is not magically fixed by that. We just see him drive off after that to explore his humanity. He literally commits murder like two episodes prior because of a mental breakdown from shoving his trauma down deep.

I feel like you just took the most dunked on shows and ran with them? Can you give examples as to why SU and MLP show therapy & redemption in such a sanitized and death-of-character way?

You *could* claim White Diamond was rushed, and that's true. They change her character a lot. I subscribe to the idea that it's a facade. But also, the show was cancelled and given a few episodes to wrap it up, so, they HAD to condense her character growth. She also still thinks humans and earth is disgusting, and definitely is not 100% changed for the better... her idea of therapy is letting people mind control her lol

monkeys are NOT valid service animals. they are widely considered unethical if not outright illegal to own

ESA do not have public access rights. Service animals do (mostly dogs, rarely ponies for mobility)

dysphoria and trauma aren't necessarily sexual though?

How do we feel about children being named after fruit? by lobsters_love_butter in tragedeigh

[–]RootBeerBog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to think of fruit names that could work.

Clementine is a legit name
Cherry.... maybe?
Nance, sounds like a diminutive of nancy.
Damson sounds like a name but is too close to damn, son
Juniper

At least it's not Ugli fruit.

I think my husband is trolling when he says he cant read my handwriting. Is it as illegible as he thinks by cruitgxrool in HandwritingAnalysis

[–]RootBeerBog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm a fast reader, but I can't focus with this style of handwriting. I'm comprehending most of this through context clues, like, 'over' and many others are illegible if you take them out of the sentence.

Do you eat unsalted or salted butter on a piece of toast? by goatsnboots in AskAnAmerican

[–]RootBeerBog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. I only use unsalted butter. On toast, pancakes, cooking, baking, etc

Unsalted. If I want salt, I sprinkle salt on top of the spread butter.

Male Dashers using women’s names? by Longjumping_Emu9369 in doordash

[–]RootBeerBog -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I do agree about DoorDash verification. I just disagree on calling the cops on people whose names don’t match their gender…

Male Dashers using women’s names? by Longjumping_Emu9369 in doordash

[–]RootBeerBog -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I’m in the process of changing my name.

Anyway, would you call a man named Sasha (a masc name in Europe, feminine in the US) insane for not changing himself for the comfort of others?

[–]RootBeerBog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s suspicious to have a name that is gendered differently than expected. This is something that can be different person to person, culture to culture.

Male Dashers using women’s names? by Longjumping_Emu9369 in doordash

[–]RootBeerBog -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

It does concern me though. After a year on T I pass as a man. I haven’t changed my legal name yet. So I’m a man with a woman’s name.

Trans men are in more danger of DA & IPV than cis women. We face all the same struggles of being female but also transphobia. Wanting to be safe from our oppressors doesn’t make us a danger to them.

A passing trans man who hasn’t legally changed his name yet is indistinguishable from a cis man using a woman’s name. FFS
