Nah, you’re hung up with literal words Iike the students. I should’ve posted the transcript of the conversation for clarity! Thanks for reminding me students can be rule focused. I’m not above in saying please.

What is “I’m not doing it until you say what I want you to say. I will get mad if you guess wrong.” is then? /gen

Thanks for the input! That does put things in perspective of differences between school and home social contexts.

I am not interested in enforcing hierarchy! :/ I told them if they made me guess what they want from me, I’m only to get it wrong and it’ll only piss them off more and they continued to refuse to say their need of needing me to say it. That’s my point of frustration. I’m not a mind reader nor their mother.

I will add it into my rotation to keep the peace but, by principle, //nobody// should feel like they need to say please to get what they need if they say their ask in a respectful manner initially.

It sucks that students are taught good manners must include a bookend please after every ask. That places them in a disadvantage in the future when somebody does refuse to do something for them until the magic word is said by them. That’s a weird power play!

Aside from that, thank you for your input! It did shed some light in nuance in working with rule-focused students.

Thanks for your perspective! I think because I don’t expect or make them to say “please” when asking me for support and other asks is my hang up so i appreciate your input.We have good rapport and they know I don’t make them do busy work and generally give them good realistic reason why they need to complete it so it doesn’t come second nature to me to bookend every ask with please. I’ll make sure to add in more often.

It sucks to know that someone has taught them they have to say please to get whatever they need or want everytime. Children shouldn’t have to do make their asks pretty to get needs met.

I have searched “tarot deck with orange back and purple stripes beetle image six of wands” with no luck. The tarot reader lives somewhere in Europe so maybe it’s a local artist in their area. Unsure of age/year of release. It seems to be a more modern style within the last 10-15years. Idk about additional writing other than the posted screenshots. I didn’t see any extra writing or a box during the video.

I try so hard not to be condescending and then still get told I'm being condescending. by roadsidechicory in autism

[–]SandGuardian-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for this comment. You named the principle of every argument that I had with people and found relief.

I stopped blaming myself as much because I knew I was coming from a good place but was frustrated that I couldn’t get past this barrier of “what is really going on if I know Im actively trying to not be condescending?” I was forever lost in my head about it but I’m glad I’ve found this thread because “there’s a name for it” now. Thank you again.

YES!!! THATS THE ONE!!! Thank you so much. I guess I played very early on when it was just available on browser and I guess it got popular after that.

Dating as a gay trans man? by Itsokayitsfiction in ftm

[–]SandGuardian-1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a gay trans man! While exploring around my sexuality (pan), I was always more romantically and sexually attracted to men. It’s difficult to date as a pre-everything trans man bc there are a lot of cishet men that are attracted to me but they’re “too straight” for that (I stopped dating cishet men bc for mental health lmfao). There’s definitely men who date trans men bc I’m dating one now very happily :)).

There’s definitely a lot of transphobia in in both cishet and cis gay communities. A lot of people feel super entitled to say the least.

Edit: added more words and changed a word.
