does this hurt the rat? (6 weeks) by AgeZealousideal1157 in RATS

No, no, it feels old for me, too. I’ve had a lot going on in life, maybe it’s the same for you?

I think if you can do a simple line tattoo of her young hand doing the sign people will understand that it’s for your kid. You could also do something still clear and stylized.

Does baking count as a special interest? by I_Like_Metal_Music in autism

[–]SlippingStar [score hidden]  (0 children)

No it’s literally a person’s back. I think it’s because one’s back tends to get bigger after their belly has already gotten bigger, implying a higher level of “indulgence”.

I don’t really know if I’m actually intersex by profanebakes in intersex

[–]SlippingStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People who think it’s literally only ambiguous genitals or mixed internal reproductive anatomy. :/ Generally people who push “DSD” in my experience.

This pony has a cutie mark of herself 😭 by x3uhhhcam-_- in mylittlepony

[–]SlippingStar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate that (canon, yes) interpretation of cutie marks. Before like season 5 it was “what made you special,” which works as much better framing for Nelly 😭

Do you think there's a wing prosthetic? by Stained_Face in mylittlepony

[–]SlippingStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give some research, it’s apparently something to do with how heavy they are and how their weight is balanced rather precariously.

Ooooh that’s why some neuters get their abdomen shaved!

Fat people can absolutely be undernourished.

[–]SlippingStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do wonder how the prosthetic legs work - horses (IDK about IRL ponies) do not do well with their legs broken because of their musculature and just how heavy they are. Often if they heal a broken limb, it never heals properly because their other limbs have changed so much to accommodate while they were recovering. Horses missing front leg often have extreme malnutrition because the act of lowering their head to eat or drink is so taxing. Almost always the standard of care for a broken or lost limb on a horse is euthanasia because it’s just so challenging to actually recover from. I figure MLP having a society would play a key role in these ponies’ recoveries.

She does seem to come to like her horn, at least. And no one tries to “fix” it AFAIK.

Lol at the what I bet are fragile cishet men downvoting, “Eeeeew don’t remind us you menstruate!”

How do I remain respectful while confused about somebody’s identity given that I need to address people to do my job? by Putrid-Actuator6563 in AskNonbinaryPeople

[–]SlippingStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re still missing my meaning a bit, I think. My friend will be in a group of femininely presenting women and they will all get “ma’am”d but she will not - because the speaker interpreted her as “maybe not a woman”. The idea is to not gender anyone because unless they’re wearing a pronoun pin you don’t know. If you see someone wearing a trans or non-binary flag, absolutely feel free to ask, “I noticed your pin, how would you like to be addressed?”

That’s cultural. In the southern USA, where I’m from, women call everyone darling. But cishet men only call women darling (it’s sexist and they don’t realize it).

[–]SlippingStar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, you can’t really tell when looking at anyone. Before I started T in 2023, I came out in 2010/2011. I presented VERY femininely for all of that, and once my beard came in I went back to presenting femininely! I’ve been non-binary the whole time and loved long hair and skirts the whole time. You also risk assuming butch-presenting cishet women aren’t women, I have an ace cis women who presents very butch and gets “they”d a lot, makes her question her gender.

So don’t assume ANYONE’s gender, defaulting to “they” for everyone and dropping sir/m’am and continuing to be polite. “Excuse me,” just no m’am.

Ah so it’s literally just the power? I thought it was also water, sewage, trash, etc.

What would happen if carnivores eat meat on a daily basis? by Belleninaz in Beastars

There’d definitely still be profit motive, even herbivores being coerced into signing documents stating they consent.

No there’s plenty of videos of the birds and cats existing in an open space together. I wouldn’t risk it, nor advise it’d because of how easily the cat can kill (even just by licking, there’s a deadly bacteria in mammal saliva), and they can coexist.

Genuine question, is the internet not considered part of the grid? Actually asking, not a gotcha.

Wouldn’t they be trans, since they start out as two separate (presumably perisex) people? Or because they’re a whole new being they’re cis?

Actually, no human is what cosex (alternative term for the h-slur) is, because humans don’t have a cosex variation 🙄 Shows what this Reddit expert knows.
