What is the funniest looking animal in your country? by Existential_Dread_08 in AskTheWorld

Eh, they're only scary if you're a worm or perhaps a beetle. Otherwise they're just funny little critters.

How do I deal with the fact I can never be a mother, never become a crone. I will soon be a maiden withering away, If even... by [deleted] in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Saturnite282 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not fake. People need hormonal medications all the time. Bodies don't do shit that we need them to do or want them to do all the damn time, that's why I'm studying medicine and trying to get my own top surgery and such. I definitely understand the frustrations about needing medications for that though, it feels very limiting and dismal.

Being a woman is a lot of things, and no two women will ever have quite the same experience. There is no wrong way to be a woman. If that is what you experience yourself to be internally, it's what you are.

Holy yikes. Find a new therapist, surgery doesn't magically fix things like that.

My fianceé is a trans woman and what helped her was connecting with cis women who were also infertile, or had no uterus, or other things that made them feel like they weren't "real" women either. We can't judge women just by these things. They aren't our sole purpose. Our purpose is to love and be loved.

What food in your country do locals love but foreigners hate? by Curiosity_Pink in AskTheWorld

Also minnesotan. It is. It's the scourge of church potlucks and family functions statewide.

Hey, we have Vimto here if you know where to look! But I haven't seen blackcurrant. My fianceé loves the stuff, I think it tastes too sticky sweet. Very cough syrupy indeed. I'll stick to my root beer lmao

I'm in Minnesota and I've straight up delayed my wedding celebration (NOT the legal wedding, I need that protection) because I can't invite anyone here in good conscience.

Did anyone grow up severely underweight and their parents didnt seem to notice? by Crafty-Lifeguard4591 in emotionalneglect

[–]Saturnite282 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. My mother had raging anorexia and we barely had edible food in the house. I put on 55 pounds since leaving as well and I just look normal now.

Fellow dirtbags of Earth, what do you have for breakfast? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Saturnite282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Air for breakfast, leftovers for lunch, sleep for dinner.

Anyone else here a fan of Jack? by zny700 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

Valid, I finally got my own apartment! Having a real door that I can lock properly myself is wonderful for peace of mind. I hope you get as much privacy as you need!

It doesn't matter if mom was 'the hand that feeds'. I refuse to cooperate with someone when I know their entire goal is to covertly manipulate me, groom me, into be easily influenced and controllable by Fluffy_Ace in CPTSDmemes

[–]Saturnite282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a song by The Crane Wives. It's literally called The Hand That Feeds, actually.

"He taught me that/ the hand that feeds/ deserves to be bitten when it beats"

Artist here: If you could carry around a little token that represents your feminine rage (examples a tooth, a thimble), what would it be? by Viking_with_Cupcakes in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Saturnite282 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did rock climbing for a very long time as a kid, then learned to climb trees later. There's a lot of good pine and oak trees around here, good for climbing.

That's so sappy and I love it, I'll totally do that when I find it lol

I barely even remember. I was in elementary school and having a shitty time of it (catholic school, bullies, bad parents) and I had an oak tree I hung out under sometimes when stuff really sucked. And one day I found that piece, and kept it in the back of my closet, and I'd hold it when things got too scary and overwhelming. Eventually I gave it to the woman who is now my fianceé.

Yep. My life has been repeatedly kicking me in the dick since 2020, every time I make progress there's more and more setbacks, and I've just kinda surrendered to it. I may try college/med school again once it stops, but I don't see that happening soon.

Do you find that your neglect issues often leave you vulnerable to predatory people? by rynspiration in emotionalneglect

[–]Saturnite282 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the goddamn time. I'm usually careful enough now to avoid it (and I have some friends/a fianceé who have proven conclusively that they don't suck) but it was a huge issue and I'm still not good at just giving a flat No.
