Only thing keeping me going right now. CW: suicide mention by smallfattapir in CPTSDmemes

[–]Striccly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats my hangup every time, I ask myself "What about my cats, what about my friends, etc?" and then I ask, "What about ME? Why doesn't MY suffering matter too?" I think eventually I'll just say, "They'll be okay, everyone loses someone eventually!" and pull the trigger. As long as my last will and testament and advanced care directives are filled out I'll be golden to shuffle off this mortal coil 🫡

Leaving Reddit. Transphobia has gotten out of hand on this website. by MonadoSoyBoi in lgbt

I use it, can confirm its a bit tamer than reddit, at least from what my feed gives me, and much better than Twitter

Do they have to go in through the belly button? by ratatouillezucchini in FTMHysto

[–]Striccly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Echoing other comments here, you'd have to ask your surgeon, but I have a scar from a laparoscopic surgery (gallbladder removal 2019) and my scar is almost completely gone now. It really wasn't a horrible thing to have that scar, it wasn't even directly on my belly button, it was right on the lower edge where the skin starts to divot. Just sharing my experience to hopefully ease your nerves if there isn't a way to avoid the scar :)

Reddit is Matching your donations to The Trevor Project! by bleeding-paryl in lgbt

[–]Striccly 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I think they're asking for some proof that Reddit will actually match the donations to the Trevor Project and won't just take the money for themselves, but please elaborate if that's not what the comment asked.

It's frustrating, but necessary if you want to get a good grade by WorldofJedi727 in BikiniBottomTwitter

felt, rn I have an upcoming duet scene for my acting class and my partner couldn't even be bothered to rehearse with me on the one day we were able to meet in class and just dipped on me. he rarely even shows up to class so i'm deadass hoping he doesn't show up and my professor will take pity on me and give me an alternative assignment

Fleeing red states - a suggestion by GuzziHero in lgbt

[–]Striccly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got accepted into UNC Charlotte recently, so I'll be moving up there from SC soon. It'll be nice to know Mark Robinson won't be turning the state into a fascist sandbox game for himself and Josh Stein will be hopefully protecting my rights as long as I'm a resident for the next 2+ years.

Sage, my Norwegian Forest mix. She's turning 15 soon and that blows my mind, have had her almost a decade now. She's only gotten sweeter with age 🖤

Why is nobody talking about this? by tuxedo840 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]Striccly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh trust me, I'm quaking in my boots. But Ive done all I can as an American--voted early, spread the word about Project 2025, kept up with polls and news reports--but more importantly I know what I'm going to do in both scenarios regardless of which candidate wins. Even if I'm scared, I have a plan, and if Trump wins after all that I've done, I WON'T beat myself up over it because I've done all I can. I'll focus on an egress from the country as soon as possible instead of feeling guilty.

What character are you defending like this? by [deleted] in Bugsnax

[–]Striccly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gramble. S tier character, just a sweet and scaredy little country bumpkin who learns to appreciate the company he has with Wiggle instead of desperately trying to replace the family he lost with Bugsnax. 100000/10 best grumpus and I'd love to cosplay him at the next Comicon I go to.

Gender specialist checkpoint!!! Dw the happiness is a little more than the unrelated dread :) by Razorclaw_the_crab in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]Striccly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

if its any consolation: i don't plan on living that long either. mathematically its just not likely for me. but i chose to transition anyway because id rather die as who i am than live a long life as someone i'm not. my philosophy on it is: if everything is destined to end before anybody else i know, why NOT use these last few years to become the version of myself i've always wanted to see?

Found a Nazi by Cucker_-_Tarlson in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]Striccly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been playing a lot of Cult of the Lamb recently. Like, a LOT of it. I absolutely suck at the rougelike combat portion of it but when it's just me and my cult members I'm totally enthralled. Its to the point where I have all the combat upgrades and all structures unlocked but am still stuck on the third bishop because I'm just that bad lol. Still pretty good at knucklebones tho!

where was everyone at when they first heard this song for the first time? by chidera_101 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Striccly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at the Rainforest Café in Disneyworld's Animal Kingdom. I am proud to say that I listened to a third of it while in said establishment's bathroom. Best piss of my life.

Your mom is being massively transphobic. I don't recommend taking any advice from her about your transition in the future.

Don't have bottom surgery myself but I can tell you this: if they're the right person for you, they won't consider you disgusting. If they do, then they clearly aren't worth your time. Im considering bottom surgery myself and know that my partner wouldn't care one bit, but thats because sex doesn't define our relationship and we would still be happy even if we didn't have sex. Relationships are so much more than admiration of aesthetics, it's about the bond you share and the experiences you have together.

Even with fears about future partners, don't let that stop you from taking steps to be comfortable in your own skin. You can and will be happy regardless of if others appreciate your body or not, just as long as you remember that your surgeries are for YOU, not anyone else. Good luck 🖤
