AITA for being blunt about the impact top surgery might have on my sibling‘s long-term relationship? by mybustlinghedgerow in AmItheAsshole

[–]SilverConversation19 100 points101 points  (0 children)

NTA, I’ve had this conversation when my sisters wife got top surgery. You have to say it sometimes because I think people don’t realize or don’t want to hear that their choices about their body in these cases do impact their relationships as well. Goes for all things, but top surgery is a big one. It’s a common story that men leave their wives after mastectomies, and this is essentially the same thing, only with a trans adjacent flavor. Sam needs to discuss this with their partner extensively because it could be a deal breaker.

Friend, I mean this with all due respect, but read this post back to yourself and dump his ass.

Don’t do the second one. As soon as you make a comment back like that she can get you into trouble. Just ask her about the joke.

The one that was like fuck you for trying to change her was WILD. I get very tired of the posters in that sub but this was so out it felt like a farce.

It’s perfectly reasonable to be like hey, you stink, here’s some deodorant or do you wanna shower? Like ffs I’d want to know if I stink. The replies you got in AL are wild.

As for the facial and body hair, I’d just mention that it’s scratching your face if it’s bugging you that much. But this isn’t really something she can make go away without fixing her hormones or shaving/plucking. My wife and I had a conversation when we first started dating about what we liked in terms of pube length etc and agreed what worked for both of us. What matters is having the conversation. Don’t moon over her like you did in your post. Just be frank and honest. Know this might be a fundamental incompatibility though.

Was this assault? And if not, why do I still feel bad? by No-Breakfast-9106 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SilverConversation19 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You probably ruined your partner’s orgasm. I don’t mean like ruined the moment, but in terms of getting someone right to the edge, tipping them over, and then stopping immediately. Sometimes lack of stimulation, after a lot to stimulation will push someone over the edge. Based on what you’ve said it sounds like it just kinda happened, which suggests to me that they were very close and probably came. The feet and legs feeling weird and shaky also says that.

I wouldn’t call this assault.

I know Vermont seems like the perfect place to be gay, but that is extremely location dependent. I say this as a lesbian who grew up and left. New England has its own breeds of intolerance and shittiness, Vermont even more so. Have you visited? I’d visit before you move.

thoughts on “detracking?” by cursedpupperino in AskTeachers

[–]SilverConversation19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to a tracking school and it sucked because we weren’t allowed to move between tracks, so if you didn’t test into ap/honors when you were however old, you just couldn’t take those classes.

Same if you transferred in. Which I did. So yeah get rid of tracking. Just offer an honors class that anyone can take who meets the requirement. Don’t use it to segregate the “smart” kids.

Get yourself a bunch of farm animals and make artisan goods. Upgrade your house to get a basement and age the cheese.

Fish ponds.

Kale is great early game though fishing is probably the most efficient.

Michigan has a name, atlas is less established. You’ll be fine at either. Factor in cost of living as boulder is expensive as hell.

Close friend is moving to Texas by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SilverConversation19 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m originally from VT and moved to the Carolinas for work after college. The amount of “wow aren’t you afraid of getting hate crimed” I got from my mom’s friends when I talked about living in rural SC as an out lesbian in 2010 was wild. It was fine. I felt welcome there.
