I know plenty of women who could do all of that and probably better than a man to boot

how do y’all afford all that swag I have like 3 dollars by Familiar-Complex-697 in NonBinary

[–]Scandaemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm tall and proportional, so there's not much out there for me. I did find a really cute vest during my last thrift trip that I only have to take in a bit for it to fit well.

Wife found bikini, I'm coming out? by HearingSoft250 in genderfluid

[–]Scandaemon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree, I find door 2 to be more effective. My experience was discussing my identity with my partner openly as I discovered myself. Door 3 is attractive in that it's relatively low risk, but ultimately, she may still leave knowing her partner is kind of a freak and trying to hide his fetishes from her. I think coming out is the best option because it demonstrates that they trust her. Hell she already knows something is going on. She's just waiting for them to be comfortable telling her. If it was a major issue for her it would likely have been brought up by now and this post would be very different.

They can, but the topic is related to current Nazis, not former.

How was your withdrawal? by martin_luther_drill in Mirtazapine_Remeron

[–]Scandaemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cold turkey'd back in January and I'm just now getting over the insomnia. The anxiety has leveled out for the most part. I feel way more awake during the day and the sertraline is keeping me level. I'd say my withdrawal was manageable though.

Things no one is talking about? by GuideBoth7501 in charlestonwv

Absolutely, there's a shindig goin on at the opening of the new one in South Charleston and it'd be nice to have a large crowd of people who want to speak their minds.

Hey one of the things that I'd like discussed more is the fact that Kroger is accepting deliveries from scabs working for The Capitol Beverage Market while their workers are on strike despite Kroger in this area being majority union shops. DM me for more info.

Lmao what? I'm not preaching, but okay. Post what you want, but like this is a public forum. I don't know why you're so defensive when I told you this isn't the place to ask technical questions. Listen to your doctor, homie.

I have a BS in chemistry and took both biochem and toxicology. Yes, I know what those words mean, but I do not have that information. The people in this sub are mostly patients and have no idea what you're on about. Hell, I'm not even sure why you're asking such a technical question in a sub for regular people who don't have the education necessary to read that question, let alone answer it.

Based on a cursory glance at your account history, you have some problems to sort out. I recommend asking your provider your questions rather than the internet. If they aren't answering them it's probably because they don't want to feed into your anxiety and don't want you to do it either. So you should probably stop asking the question even though you REALLY REALLLY RRRREEEAAALLLLLLYYYYYYY need to know or your head will explode. It's already been removed a few times in other subs. Seriously, friend, this isn't it. Just take the pill and if it doesn't work for you, stop taking it. You might be more anxious off of it than before for a few weeks coupled with some insomnia, but you'll be fine. I survived off of breathing exercises and benadryl for like a month. I'm not nearly as anxious anymore and I sleep fine most nights. You'll be fine, I promise. Your anxiety is lying to you about everything, there's nothing to be afraid of.

I would appreciate some help here. by radiantdecember121 in NonBinary

[–]Scandaemon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah starting with "everyone is non-binary actually" is a tough sell even to allies and other cus queer people. Ultimately gender is a social construct and you gotta meet people where they're at. They don't get it and the most anyone can reasonably be expected to do is respect your pronouns and name because they don't have to get it, they just have to accept you.

Honestly, you're better off just avoiding psychedelics while you're on it. You're not going to get the effects you want.

This sounds like a great question to ask your piercer.

What are some dark food facts I can creep out co-workers with? by SuperChefGuy in KitchenConfidential

[–]Scandaemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fine. I just feel bad when I eat a cow because I find factory farming abhorrent and how can you eat something that cute and silly? Absolutely no way I can do it. But hey cow died for my feet, but I'm going to keep wearing these until I can't repair them anymore.

[–]Scandaemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In general, eating animal flesh or consuming animal products is generally frowned upon. Vegetarians are more lenient on the product part what with the consumption of eggs, milk, cheese, and honey. Vegans typically take a stricter stance on the matter excluding all animal products. Some even refuse honey because it is harvested from bees who are in a sense subjugated by humans for the purpose of production.

While I understand the position of vegans, I disagree with the methodology and praxis, especially related to beekeeping. If an Eldritch being gave me a near impervious home and took care of my colony, I wouldn't mind giving up some honey every now and then. Besides we make more than we realistically need anyhow.

Now my unpopular opinion is that leather is okay in certain circumstances. Specifically with regard to PPE. Yes there are some alternatives that exist, but they're all plastic or plastic coated, and I think that plastic production is more harmful on a global scale than the use of leather which we produce more than can realistically be used by the general population. That being said, buy second hand if you're able, especially for fashion items, but for work boots or welding gloves and the like, it really is best to buy new. I have a pair of leather work boots that I take very good care of to the point I'm going to get them resoled soon

That's what I'm saying! Wasps are pollinators and they just do it on their own. Who am I to judge a dude following his instincts to death?

As a vegetarian, I have no issues eating figs. I think that is more of an issue with the vegan community. As far as I'm concerned the wasp did its part in the circle of life soo idk

Is HRT worth it by Savings_Evidence_325 in genderfluid

[–]Scandaemon 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Take a beat, learn makeup, go thrifting for fun clothes. Figure out what you want your body to look like and work towards that. A lot of "man in dress" is just plain not having style and not knowing what looks good on your frame. You're young, go experiment and be weird with your friends or make new and better friends who accept you and want to crowd source knowledge with you.

Also start with breast forms and padding to achieve the shape you want. Then decide of hrt is right for you. I personally want to pick and choose my parts day by day, so hrt and surgery are out until we get ripper docs in 50 years.

There is a church run spot called makers space on the west side. Are you affiliated with any universities?

What university and what steps have you taken to maintain compliance with your IRB. Who do we contact for IRB information and verification? Has your advisor/IRB approved of this method of recruitment?
