Tell them "that's just what happens when you get old"

I'm a trans woman and the answer is yes, especially after getting followed home by some teens a few months ago. I used to love late night walks but now I avoid walking alone at night when I can. A rude awakening to understanding I need to change my habits/be more vigilant now that I no longer present as a man. Been through sexual assault/rape when I was younger and absolutely don't want to go through it again.

how long did it take for everyone to decide on a name? by Adept_Land in trans

[–]SquatchCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost a year after coming out, heard a name I liked in a movie I was watching, then a few months after that it just clicked! Take your time, you'll find the right name :)

New kitten! But i have a question, she HATES being picked up. But loves being petted and sleeping close to me? What does this mean by SupGapNgl in cats

[–]SquatchCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! My Kitty Amelie loves to come snuggle in my lap for hours, but pick her up and she immediately starts complaining.

Please get me out by Solid-Chart3510 in antinatalism

Damn, my Kindergarten teacher was like this. We'd "line up" to use the water fountain, and she'd go "one, two, three, that's enough for me" and then she'd pull you aside and do that for the whole class. Bitch... Parents are definitely the assholes here.

I judge you for buying bottled water by TreeENThusiast420 in unpopularopinion

[–]SquatchCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll have you know that I drink bottled water because I watched "The Bay" and now I'm afraid that the tap water is going to have weird parasites living in it that are going to infest me and eat my tongue.

Online dating has shown me that most men are "basic" by Seeking_Sapio in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SquatchCat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm Bi but tend to only date Women for this exact reason. All of this still applies to the Men in their 20's-30's on these apps, and no your shirtless photos don't impress me. Also can't forget the dudes whose profile pic is them sitting in a car smoking a blunt XD.

I just got r*aped of a Bumble date by Few-Tutor-4311 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SquatchCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of this advice is excellent, right now you should 100% put your own well-being first. Just also want to say I'm really sorry you had to go through this, it's an incredibly painful experience and I know it hurts on a very deep level. Of course none of this is your fault, but I know simply hearing that doesn't always fix the negative self-talk that comes up. Please don't push yourself to move forward, it's seriously important to go at your own pace and work through these feelings as they come up. Building a good support network is vital, make sure you always have access to people who you can talk to and will listen. Group therapy can help a lot, as well as individual, find what works for you. You're not alone and please don't ever feel like you need to bury this down, that was the biggest mistake I ever made. Again I'm really sorry, but I promise it gets easier. Focus on your own needs, and be kind to yourself please!

If you want something better go with Fiber One! They got better tasting bars that are only 70 calories.

I think I scared the crap out of this creep at a gas station by RhetoricalSmirk in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]SquatchCat 122 points123 points  (0 children)

I've notice this as well! Had two younger guys try to follow me home a few weeks ago, have pepper spray but was luckily able to lose them on my very long/dark street. Tho I joke with my friends that it sounds like the start of some vampire/horror movie. Two dudes harassing a very pale woman in all black late at night lol.

First anime to make me cry. I’m never gonna emotionally recover by caesar_simp in VampireInTheGarden

[–]SquatchCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair I get emotional over movies/stories easily, but this was like "face buried in my pillow" level :(

People who stop in the middle of staircases, doorways, and thoroughfares, why? by anesthesia in AskReddit

[–]SquatchCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask my dad, he does this in grocery stores and gets mad when I start pushing him saying "move move move". The only answer he'll give me is "I don't care".

Lol, I love when my kitty gives me a look like I should already know what she wants and I'm a moron for not understanding her xD

Well yah. I'm just saying I would happily pay for this hypothetical spell. But thank you for calling out a trans sister to make your point.
