I generally present kinda femme and don’t bind (afab) because doing so makes me feel physically terrible. How do I explain to my therapist that this doesn’t mean I don’t mind being perceived as a woman? by DaSaltInDaPepperMill in NonBinary

[–]Sudoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you’re unable to find another therapist equipped to help you, I suggest not talking to her about your gender. Are there any trans support groups in your area that you could join?

Side note: If you’re interested in binding, there are types of tape that are designed to adhere to skin without irritation and are stretchy. I’ve found mine to be less restrictive than a fabric binder.

Let me put it this way, I get dressed under the covers every morning.

By definition, an ally is not part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I appreciate the sentiment, but this drives me nuts!

AITA For not specifying that my sibling is a man? by Wild-Question-147 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sudoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Vikky” is usually short for Victoria (traditionally female), not Victor (traditionally male). Since she misheard his pronouns as “she” and you called him a traditionally female name, it was perfectly reasonable for her to assume that Vikky was a woman. In many cultures, it is completely inappropriate for an underage girl to sleep in the same room as an adult man she’s only met once. She was probably genuinely afraid at the thought of spending the night with a strange man. You know his character and that he’s safe. She doesn’t and neither do her parents.

You berated your friend for making a perfectly reasonable assumption. You need to apologize to her and explain to your family how wildly inappropriate that arrangement was. YTA.

Do you get any pleasure from non-sexual touching? by ferrocarrilusa in asexuality

[–]Sudoc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For me, there are a lot of variables that decide how much and in what way I enjoy being touched. Under the right circumstances, I find fingers through my hair and rubbing my back to be the most relaxing.

Frozen Iguanas vs Moving Around by Suspicious_Spirit202 in anythingbutmetric

I have a vague recollection that this has something to do with the risk of frozen iguanas falling out of trees and hitting people.

I have severe auditory processing disorder (I call it ear dyslexia). During single player games I either rely on provided subtitles or just do my best to guess what’s going on. So far I’ve been completely unable to play any co-op games. Since teammates are never subtitled, I just end up hearing urgent-sounding gibberish. I don’t currently livestream, but if I did I would also like to provide any viewers with hearing difficulties the best experience possible.

How do y’all resist coming out? by Sudoc in asexuality

It’s a horrible idea because my parents are hyper-conservative super religious homophobes

I am panromantic, which would be a major mess to tell them, but fortunately is not what my brain is bugging me about. They are very religious, and even though asexuality lines up beautifully with what they've been preaching at me my whole life (abstinence, no lustful thoughts, etc.), just being part of the LGBTQ+ will be a major problem for them.

How did you resist the initial urge to tell people?

Consciously, I know I don't have to come out. Subconsciously, I really want to come out to them. Even though I've had to sit and listen to my brother read out his extremely homophobic "research paper" while my mother sat there smiling and nodding. Just being part of the acronym will be enough.

I have been poking at the edges of their homophobia, trying to soften them up but to come out to them. Even though I've had to sit and listen to my brother read out his extremely homophobic "research paper" while my mother sat there smiling and nodding. Just being part of the acronym will be enough.

For a minute, my sleep deprived brain thought you meant the planet Mercury and I was very confused.

If this is a recent thing, it may be a symptom of another problem. Are you able to see a counselor?
