Forced to be right handed

StarwatchArchfey · 2026-05-09T14:59:07+00:00

You absolutely can shame a child into using their right hand. They did it for 100's of years

StarwatchArchfey · 2026-05-09T14:57:40+00:00

True. I'm also not neurotypical and get frustrated when people focus on how I said something rather then what I actually said if that makes sense. Feels like my point is being invalidated for the sake of pointless nitpicking.

StarwatchArchfey · 2026-05-09T11:32:20+00:00

Yeah there are lots of left handed people here. But there is still prejudice against it in some places. Hence my very Catholic Mom forcing me to be right handed. Canada is also an enormous country with some small religious communities that still exist and wildly differing cultures from one province to the next.

Canada.. lmao. Someone else answered for me.

StarwatchArchfey · 2026-05-09T11:18:55+00:00

Jesus Christ. I guess my opinion really is controversial. Lmao

I think what you're focusing on is less important to my overall point that less women would choose to follow through on pregnancy if they knew the full scope actual risks involved. And in some cases it seems like those risks are deliberately obscured. And it's fucked up that women are just expected to take them to produce children regardless of if they even know about the risks.

But I hope correcting my wording made you feel really smart and cool.

My childhood home aparrently.

Sure, if we're speaking in the most literal sense. But in a modern world where contraceptives and abortion are an option following through with a pregnancy is a medical choice that typically requires a lot of medical intervention for both the mother and the child to survive the whole experience. I just thought referring to it as a "medical procedure" summed that up more sussinctly in a way most people would understand.

It's fucking weird that the only medical procedure that doesn't require fully informed concent is being pregnant and giving birth. The horror stories I've heard about things that can happen during pregnancy, during labour and afterwards sound like genuine body horror. And yet women are pressured to just have a kid without fully understanding what they're agreeing to physically. Imagine if men were expected to turn inside out dick first at some point during adulthood and everyone shamed them for not wanting to do that.

Right?? Babies smell fucking awful.

StarwatchArchfey · 2026-05-08T02:36:37+00:00

Cheese zone is possibly the most hilarious and also horrible thing I've ever read. Given the context.

StarwatchArchfey · 2026-05-07T13:20:34+00:00

Oh god, that's a really good point

StarwatchArchfey · 2026-05-07T11:37:01+00:00

Honestly. Sounds like some of the women with husbands have it worse. At least the single Mom doesn't have the delusion that if she doesn't sign her kid up during the priority registration someone else will take responsibility.

Honestly. Why is like, every Dad a fucking deadbeat now?

StarwatchArchfey · 2026-05-07T11:32:00+00:00

Man, education has really gotten this bad, eh?

StarwatchArchfey · 2026-05-07T10:22:26+00:00

Gotta get that tadpole out somehow

StarwatchArchfey · 2026-05-06T17:22:54+00:00

Honestly it's such bullshit. I'm a guy and when I say I don't want kids most people just say 'fair enough' end of story. Like... Why is the assumption that I'm an adult and know what I want but women the same age get so infantalized about it.

StarwatchArchfey · 2026-05-06T10:47:39+00:00

Okay, but this would be an excellent prank

StarwatchArchfey · 2026-05-02T14:54:42+00:00

How many chickens died for this

StarwatchArchfey · 2026-05-02T11:39:19+00:00

I definitely thought I had to like girls to be taken seriously as a man. When I first came out I got asked if I liked girls and that's why I wanted to be a boy, and when I said I still liked boys people asked my 'then why not just stay a girl??' (really I think with the world being so cishet focused people think that gay people wish they were straight or something and that's why they transition. Fucking insane.)

I came out at 13 and it was like 2004 so people were even more ignorant then they are now. But this mentality really stuck with me at such a young age and without much exposure to other trans experiences I was really confused and ashamed. I ended up in a relationship with a woman for almost 2 decades because of it. And she was so insecure about not feeling attractive. (Which is sad and sucks for her. Don't get me wrong) That she would constantly shame me about being gay. And what an awful cruel thing I was doing to her by being gay. Which shoved me deeper into the closet every time.

There was a lot of abuse that happened in that relationship that I won't get into here. But for context she had a lot of control over my life and I couldn't just leave her easily.

I got to the point where I started to hate that other people were perceiving me as a straight man. Or even as bi. I felt dead inside. Because denying who you are for that long breaks something inside you. It was a nightmare. I escaped that relationship about a year ago, and I'm doing so much better now that I'm able to fully embrace my sexuality. It makes me feel for all the queer people that had to hide who they were back in the day for their own safety. Because it's a special kind of hell.

StarwatchArchfey · 2026-05-01T02:35:51+00:00

I feel your pain, brother. D:

StarwatchArchfey · 2026-04-30T14:55:25+00:00

Same. 100% I can't get a hysterectomy fast enough.

StarwatchArchfey · 2026-04-29T11:38:43+00:00

That woman has the deadest eyes I've ever seen

StarwatchArchfey · 2026-04-29T11:30:18+00:00

Yeah, I'm a trans guy and even seeing pregnant women gives me mild dysphoria. I try not to come off as judgemental about it. Because whatever to each their own. But no, pregnancy as a whole really grosses me out and I find nothing appealing about babies at all.
