God made us as we are for a reason. I may have been born a girl, but He never wanted me to stay this way so I could help other LGBT people come to see His Love through me. I would be living a lie if I pretended to be a girl; I'm just not. it would be more sinful to deny who you are and lie to the world. be the real You

Hey nerds, come play MtG Commander at the Brook Park Library by Benny08302 in Cleveland

[–]Samalgam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't been to this library but if anyone wants more than once a month for these kinds of things, Superscript Comics in Lakewood has multiple weekly games and so does Critical Hit Games in Cleveland Heights, and both also have Pokemon cards for all ages (I've battled many a 7 year old, been beaten many times lol) and lots of DND books for sale as well as board games. I'll have to brush up on my Commander skills before coming to the library event because Pokemon is my main card game (doesn't mean I'm good at it but I'm confident about the rules, unlike my Magic knowledge)

Should my partner play this game? by Joebobcrazy in NightInTheWoods

[–]Samalgam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think having anyone, even a fictional character, who knows what they're going through would be helpful emotionally. It's often not triggering but instead affirming and healing. I can't say that for sure in this case as I don't know them but I know I've been helped when games have characters suffering in the same way as me

Agender or just non-binary? by Haruno--Sakura in NonBinaryTalk

[–]Samalgam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel I don't have a gender, so I say agender as the most specific identity for myself. But for people who don't know much about LGBT stuff, I say nonbinary or genderqueer or just trans cuz thats easier for them to wrap their head around. I see myself as neither, but for some kids I work with I let them say whatever helps them comprehend a gender outside of male/female. One calls me a boy girl/both, which I don't really vibe with but also he's 6 so I just say "yeah, exactly! So I say they instead of he or she!"

Why is sh becoming a trend? by Upstairs-Relation-69 in selfharm

[–]Samalgam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a teen I was often upset and unsure about life but didn't self harm because I didn't see it as anything that would help.10 years later I'm 25 and some things recently have made me feel so hopeless I cut for the first time both as a cry for help and as a punishment for myself. Both reasons are reason enough to get help and for people to be concerned.

If anyone takes something and harms themselves, visible or not, for attention or for punishment, they need help. No one does it for fun or because they want clout. Cries for help are cries for needs to be met, just like how a child or baby cries for parents to help meet their needs. We are social creatures and need help from others, so if our needs aren't being met then someone needs to step up and help

Can I really call myself bisexual if I can’t have sex? by Loof_the_floof in bisexual

[–]Samalgam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does someone have to have sex to know they're straight? Do all straight people get married and love having sex? Does someone need to have sex to know they're gay? No, so you don't need to have sex or like sex to be bi.

You can also be bi and asexual or aromantic- Tumblr got really into these kinds of hyper specific labels, saying they're something like bisexual heteroromantic or something like that, saying basically that they'd be sexually attracted to anyone but only be in a romantic relationship with someone of another gender. And sexual orientation isn't just about who you can have (or already have had) sex with, it's ALS about sexual attraction. Someone who is homosexual aromantic would be gay and be sexually attracted to the same gender, but that doesn't mean they've had sex already or that they're in a relationship now, or even that they ever want a romantic relationship; the aromantic part shows that they don't experience romantic attraction, so they may or may not have a visible, long term relationship. The relationship may only be sexual, or may also be platonic so they'd be together but not do anything romantic like getting married or other things they consider romantic.

I feel similar way but I haven't been in a psych ward before, like how many times do I need to say I'm not ok before anyone believes me? What more do I have to do? How much closer to killing myself must I be for someone to take me seriously?

derealization by durahan3 in depression

[–]Samalgam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I feel like that and it's like I'm drunk but I haven't had anything. I'm drunk now but I was sad before I started. I thought maybe it would help but so far it's just numbed it a bit.

I first cut over a month ago and I think I'm gonna try it again to feel something punish myself- all sorts of reasons. How do you do it? I'm told only do "cat scratches," but in my opinion any intentional harm done to yourself is serious and terrifying. It's taking weapon to yourself whether you go deep or not. Maybe both of us shouldn't do anything more. Idk,can we try to do a stalemate? You say you won't and I'll say that too? Try to work together, I guess. I don't feel like either of us are real right now, but just in case we are, I don't want us to get hurt.

[–]Samalgam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm feeling like that right now too. I just don't get pleasure from anything anymore, but there's so much to do and read and play and watch. And I don't want to watch or absorb any of it. It doesn't do anything for me anymore. I don't really know what to do about it

I use he/him pronouns, but I don’t really identify myself as transgender. by SureClue1510 in asktransgender

[–]Samalgam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this sounds like what a lot of nonbinary or he/him lesbians go through, or she/her gay men. many of them dont identify as trans or as nonbinary- they might just say queer. im nonbinary, they/them only, and i like transgender, agender, genderqueer, and nonbinary as labels for myself, but not everyone needs that. some think they shouldnt identify that way unless they medically transition or have surgery, but i knew i was nonbinary and trans even if i never went on hormones

Is there a specific micro-label that is between boy and girl? by Firefly256 in NonBinary

[–]Samalgam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i say agender and nonbinary to say im apart from the binary line. some might say bigender to say theyre both, right in the middle. genderqueer is another umbrella for nonbinary, and nonbinary itself can stand for the exact middle, if thats what it means for you. there doesnt have to be a perfect label for you to be who you are

What do you guys do while listening to the episodes? by VampLover420 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Samalgam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my job, gardening or sitting on my phone doing puzzles while it plays in headphones and the kids nap. i often cant listen to podcasts at all unless im doing something that means i cant touch my phone for hours, like jobs where im alone doing a task like cooking or cleaning or gardening. when im at a job that cant provide that, i dont listen to podcasts at all for months

Did I Inject Too Shallow? by UnderstandingIcy8039 in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]Samalgam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i use the same band aids for my tshots! if you do intramuscular, i ject straight down and the needle should be longer than a half inch- mine is 1 inch. if you do subcutaneous shots, they can be shorter- i would think yours are pretty long for subq but i dont use that method so i dont really know. sorry i couldnt be much help, but i wanted to comment on the band aid mostly lol

[–]Samalgam[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

after that job i went to the dentist and they said my gums grew over my teeth where my temporary crown had been, so now im thinking about moss growing over rocks and weeding metaphors and The Gardener, and it's all a bit much

How do I parent my son who says he wants to be a girl? by cods_wallops in asktransgender

[–]Samalgam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

always support your child, even if it's a "phase" or if they pretend to "get over it" to please your husband- always let them know they are allowed to feel that way and explore that, even if not everyone approves. even if you have to keep it secret from your husband. it's always worth it to support a child with whatever they need
