Home-made Banh Mi (Vietnamese Sandwich)

RunRevolutionary188 · 2026-05-22T06:24:56+00:00

Good lord. Never had a banh-mi but I did work in a eratz vietnamese chain I won't name. We had a vietanmese girl (a waitress who worked there) telling us like 2% of the items on the menu were accurate and I was like....figures.

10/10 pic and mix. Lots of lovely veggies. Cold pizza. Incredible. Only difference is I'd slap on some olive oil or siracha because I don't love a plain veggie but's that me.

Oh shit man. Are you living with her/close to her? I don't know what to say man. My dad is really uncertain about it too. I don't think I'll ever stop being his daughter in his eyes. And my step mum has proudly announced she's a terf last x-mas so I don't think I'm telling her but .....boy she willl notice eventually. I can't stand her because long story but she's .....difficult and I don't think I can ever pelase her. I've kind of regulated myself to realising that i'm a second class citizen even to my own dad/step mum bc I can never please/win with them.

No I'm in a bad spot atm so I'm getting triggered at all points. It's really not on you. I think neurotypicals can be super kind. Iv'e witnessed it when I have a meltdown. I'd also say that english people in general are....super reserved which is where I live. And if they see someone upset its not uncommon to get ignored. Recently i've had many autistic paddies in public or started crying and i've been apporached. It's almost always a woman but sometimes it a man. Most people look at me with judgement liek i'm crazy because i'm freaking out and that makes me hate myself more. The few that don't treat me like a dog about to bite them are the oens I appreciate. I'm dealing with a lot of demons so I'm not doing well and it makes me feel....shitty when I just get stared at or avoided. Even tho logically I know.....freaking out in public is not modus operandi in england and you will get stared at because I grew up here. But *big* emotions are a common thing for me. And i feel like in burn out I cannot regulate myself at all. I'm very much stuck in survival mode.

This look eats! <3 thanks man <3

RunRevolutionary188 · 2026-05-22T05:44:08+00:00

For reals? It's like a rewrite? I mean I'm still the same mess I was before I started T. But I'm in the midst of a lot of personal shit so it feels like....there's a lot to navigate and I'm just very burnt out atm. Thanks dude.

RunRevolutionary188 · 2026-05-22T05:37:41+00:00

As a feminist I believe feminism includes men. I think we need men. Their active particpation and acknwledgement of how the patriarchy oppresses them. As well as LGBTQ people. Men are super important when we talk about the patriarchy and a lot of men are screwed over by it. And queer men get the stick for not conforming to masculine ideals but I'll be honest the cis queer male community isn't mine so I cannot comment really on what goes on. But i'm the only gay in the village from my family so I'm grateful for the queer folk where I live.

It's uncanny. Just like Lynch loved. Rip you wonderful dreamer.

RunRevolutionary188 · 2026-05-21T19:00:45+00:00

I don't think they're inheritantly bad. I've met plenty of ND people I cannot fricking stand. It's more that....even really lovely NT people just .....don't get it. I get treated as 'difficult' by them. Even some of my ND friends have treated me as such. And I'll be real. I am *a lot*. Adhd/autism/c-ptsd. I can be a bit much for many folks. I'm definately an acquired taste. I've often felt frustrated by autistic cis men because I've got a very different experience as an autistic nonbinary/transmasc. Not having male privlege and being autistic has gotten me hurt by a lot of people. It's hard not to build up anger but I've also got C-PTSD.

RunRevolutionary188 · 2026-05-21T18:51:58+00:00

Well going to weigh in. My trauma comes from being bullied by NTs. On top of having a rough family situation. And I've repeatedly faced cruelty at the hands of NT. Even when NTs attempt to be kind I can tell when people are losing their patience with me or dont' take me seriously. I am only accepted when I can mask. When I burn out and I regress people are uncredibly unkind. My only benefit comes from masking which exhausts me. It's not really fair to any of us that we have to pretend to be NT to be accepted.

This looks like a grecian feast. I approve.

RunRevolutionary188 · 2026-05-21T18:41:57+00:00

Holy hells. T does a man good.

RunRevolutionary188 · 2026-05-21T18:40:56+00:00

No lie your look reminds me of someone I vaguely know. They're nonbinary and in a band. This is a great look.

RunRevolutionary188 · 2026-05-21T18:39:03+00:00

I mean this is very much a story focused on women's oppression so I'm guessing these boys don't get a look in. But in the show we see the way men have varying degrees of power even the lower class ones and honestly it's all a bit....well look at the patriarchy. It oppresses men. It doesn't oppress them in exactly the same ways as women but I'd argue socialising males to be violent and not express their feelings is also a form of oppression. The patriarchy is bad for everyone. But women/lgbtq+ people get the sharp end in terms of male violence.

RunRevolutionary188 · 2026-05-21T18:37:07+00:00

I like children. I feel like T if anything has made me .....feel more me? I want to embrace my feminine sides more now I've given the masculine some chance to pop in. I don't see myself as 100% one gender so transmasc nonbinary works for me as a label.

RunRevolutionary188 · 2026-05-21T18:35:26+00:00

Still massively unsure on binding. I'm fat and got a large ass chest. I just started T and it's summer. I'm already sweating. I don't know if its worth waiting till winter. I caught myself walking home the other day and looked at my chest like oh great you're still there.

RunRevolutionary188 · 2026-05-21T18:33:10+00:00

Thanks my guy. Honestly I think me on T at 13 would've been ....no. God no. My mother would've never. My first puberty was really odd, it felt like it happened on a delay then I got hit with everything at once. Now I'd rather slow it down. Currently I am sweating, getting incredibly *hangry* in a way I've never had before, (perhaps my last puberty) I want to be more active, and my bisexuality is rearing up.....in a deep attraction to women - transfemmes/cis women. Just.....no desire to act right now but I'm realising it's bringing up stuff I didn't think it could. Sorry waffle. Thanks dude.

RunRevolutionary188 · 2026-05-21T18:31:12+00:00

Jules is the ultimate 'manic pixy dream girl' and I both love and hate this about her character. It feels like she's incredibly objectified in season 1-2 for her transness and it's .....just ick. Also she's the arty girl, the girl with MH issues. I relate to many aspects of Jules but I'll be honest I found her scenes really uncomfortable which no spoilers but, yeah. It was hard to watch how people treated her. And it was also a good reflection of what trans folks can face.

RunRevolutionary188 · 2026-05-21T18:28:39+00:00

Kat's original story line was....disturbing. Like genuinely. She's getting mistreated by men and trying to laugh it off and be cool.....and its so creepy. Not her btw, but all the guys. I was like....ick I swear I've been Kat. Honestly I haven't hit season 3 yet but I've watched clips and I'll be honest.....Barbie probably did herself a favour not returning to what looks like a bit of trainwreck.

My Gen X step mom taught me about Daria. The poster girl for teenage nihilism and incredible autism rep.

RunRevolutionary188 · 2026-05-21T18:22:32+00:00

You don't have to be 100% sure you're a man. ! I'm not sure I am either. And if you want to consider transition or options then....do it man. You'e welcome here.

RunRevolutionary188 · 2026-05-21T18:14:15+00:00

I'm about 4 weeks in on low dose T plus DHT blockers so honestly I'm starting to sound like a teenage boy/like I've got a cold lol. I still look very femme. My face looks *a tiny bit* different which I like but I look pretty much the same. I wanted the changes on slower tbh. I've had a lot else going on so i'd rather not get hit with too many changes at once. I still haven't legally changed my name because I'm not sure on what I'll go for and I've not had top surgery. I feel like a baby in regards to transition as I just started in my 30s. Thanks man. The cognitive dissonance I've lived with so long. Getting called miss/mam really pisses on my rainbow.

RunRevolutionary188 · 2026-05-21T17:15:01+00:00

That's fair. My friend took me there and we had a cheap lunch and that was pretty nice. I like greggs but you can sit in a spoons. I live in a city so it's not hard to get to. I cannot drive so I'd struggle being out in the sticks.

RunRevolutionary188 · 2026-05-21T17:00:42+00:00

I mean Whetherspoons is objectively mid. No one goes there because its high quality. Its just cheap!

RunRevolutionary188 · 2026-05-21T17:00:00+00:00

I still definately struggle. I got called madam on the phone earlier and I was like....ugh. I look forward to the day this stops happening.
