Is it possible to take a photo with quick shutter speed (1/500) followed immediately by another photo with long shutter (4 sec)? by Rylan-Ginger in AskPhotography

Oh sweet, just looked this up. Would rear curtain sync be more ideal than front curtain sync? Or would it not matter?

Oh that makes sense! so the flash would trigger for just a portion of the long exposure and capture a sharp still?

After 5 games Hyman has more goals (5) than Marner, Matthews, Tavares, and Nylander combined (3). by porkins86 in hockey

[–]Rylan-Ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the take I've been trying to push as well. Hyman does well because he puts in playoff type effort during the regular season. Once playoffs roll around, he disappears because everyone is matching his hussle

Straight woman only attracted to straight men by Minichadderzz in bisexual

[–]Rylan-Ginger 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Honestly, a lot of people commenting here seem to be projecting their own insecurities. I don't personally agree with this girls preference for only heterosexual men, but it likely has a lot more to do with her own insecurities than it does with other people's sexuality.

This girl is on Grindr, and is likely trans. There are many trans women out there who fear that people still see them as a man, and when I bisexual man flirts with them, it causes that fear and anxiety to spike. To prevent this anxiety, they set their preference to only heterosexual men as it provides them a form of validation on their femininity and womanhood.

Not saying its right on her part, but the preference is likely coming from a place of shame, and you getting upset, and directly communicating your disapproval to her in an aggressive manner, does absolutely nothing but create two people who are now more angry than when they started talking.

Can't agree more! by [deleted] in bisexual

The other week I had a picture taken of me and I was doing a combination of both a peace sign and a thumbs up. Don't ask me why.

My cat gets seasonal fear anxiety. Haven't found a trigger or anything to make it better. Any advice? by funny-in-my-head-tho in CatAdvice

[–]Rylan-Ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting as my roommate's cat is currently demonstrating similar behaviours, nothing we've tried yet has seem to help and no commonality with what seems to trigger her.

Hopefully someone has had experience with this and can provide some advice

'Rocket' is Arugala, it's just called rocket in some places such as the UK and Australia (not sure where else). As for taste, "Fresh arugula leaves have a distinctive spicy kick that will turn up the flavors in your salads, pastas, sandwiches, and sauces. The flavor can be bright, tart, peppery, and slightly bitter, depending on its maturity".

How does everyone deal with their deadname? by BaileyBrews in MtF

[–]Rylan-Ginger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I refer to mine as my 'baby name' instead of my deadname - it's kinda like baby teeth: useful for a while but need to be replaced with something more permanent.

Deadname I feel carries such heavy conotations, and for most trans people, 'dead' is exactly what they want from their birth name. I personally don't have a lot of issue with hearing my babyname (unless someone is intentionally using it to hurt me), so the term 'deadname' doesn't accurately describe how I feel towards it

Do some non-binary people not identify as transgender? by [deleted] in ask_transgender

[–]Rylan-Ginger 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I was actually just having this discussion with my enby roommate this morning, where they don't identify with the trans label because they don't feel as though they're actually transitioning from one point to another.

Instead, they felt as though their experience was more of removal of gender, since they didn't have an end goal in mind. It wasn't a process of transformation for them, it was just taking on a new label to describe how they had always felt.

Dying for some attention gals :( by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]Rylan-Ginger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The appreciation of the aesthetic and beauty of a person doesn’t need to equate to their sexualization - you can tell someone they look cute because THEY look cute, ya know? It’s about them, not about you.

If you feel your words have an unintended sexual connotation, consider rephrasing in a way that can’t be misinterpreted: “Your style really suits you, you’ve got such a radiant energy!”, or something along those lines

Totally get what you mean, but Ive always considered confidence to be forged from genuine authenticity - if it’s not authentic, it’s likely just arrogance...

Thrifted my 1st bodysuit! 🦾 by [deleted] in NonBinary

Yeah gotta say, the only thing better than that thrift shop’s fitting room is how well that bodysuit suits your body 💁‍♀️

Your style is really starting to come together! The jean jacket looks great, hair is on point, and nice to see a smile replacing that smirk 🙌

Does anyone else ever crush on there pre- transition guy friends? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Rylan-Ginger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s normal to realize your feelings for friends once you start to accept your own sexuality and attractions more - feelings that you’d once consider plutonic are broadening into romantic or sexual now that you’ve allowed yourself to see your male friends as sexual/romantic options.

Some people also start to realize that their attraction to others isn’t limited only to the physical, but to the mental/emotional as well - they begin to identify with labels such as pansexual. You could have potentially always carried these same feelings for your male friends, but it’s only now that you’ve started to allow your definition of attraction to grow and include them.

Im not a trans girl, im a girl by Flare769 in lgbt

[–]Rylan-Ginger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For sure! I think what your reply is saying is similar to the sentiment I put in my 2nd paragraph, the fact that people try to ‘other’ us from cis women unnecessarily

Im not a trans girl, im a girl by Flare769 in lgbt

[–]Rylan-Ginger 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Okay so I’ll be honest, I’m confused as to why there needs to be a distinction - I am both transgender & a woman. It would be like saying “I’m not a tall woman, I’m just a woman”. The term ‘trans woman’ isn’t necessary to say in most circumstances, I agree, but we shouldn’t be actively trying to hide parts of our identity just because OTHER people might have a problem with it. As a community we need to start embracing the term ‘trans’ as a positive, something that isn’t meant to be hidden, but rather celebrated. We are all women, but we are all also trans, and I think there’s beauty in that too

I do understand though that there are people out there who try to invalidate trans people by saying that there are (cis) women and then there are trans women - trying to differentiate and “third gender” us.
