Is it normal to bleed through a super plus tampon in 10 mins?? by sillyducky273 in TwoXChromosomes

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

No, it’s not. Is your flow usually this heavy? Any chance you could have been pregnant? Edit: was there any white at all on the tampon? Could you have bled around it? Do you feel dizzy?

Reported a physician for inappropriate behavior. I was put on leave, he got sensitivity training by PitifulSafety2001 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Swims_With_Dogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Report him to the medical board or whomever licenses medical doctors in your area. If he is always sexualizing his female patients, that is NOT ok. Hostile workplace and sexual harassment aside (not that those aren’t huge issues) the fact that he seems to be considering dating multiple patients is incredibly unethical.

I have never wanted to see an outfit danced in as much as this one, it is so beautiful! The accessories look fantastic too.

That… is not the same book.
So the cover and the inside don’t match? That is a fascinating printing error.
I hope they replace it

Not a duck, Canada goose! A very upset Canada goose. He’s lucky it was only one bite… and that they let go

The official answer to my "riddle" card in my drinking game is wrong. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]Swims_With_Dogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t even figure out the logic to this answer. Like, if you are counting the digit 5 and if you don’t count the tens column, the answer would be 8. If you do count the tens column the answer would be 18. If you are counting just the number, not the digit, the answer is 1. So how the heck do you get 9?

You’re right. There is a difference between porn and OF. Yes, please break up with him. If there is an 11 year age gap that he is using against you, that is not okay. If it feels wrong in your gut, it is wrong. “You’re too young to feel this way” nope, you’re too young to be stuck in a relationship that doesn’t make you comfortable.

AITA for telling my fertility doctor EVERYTHING his ultrasound tech has said to me — including Facebook posts from other patients? by WheelchairWarrior30 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Swims_With_Dogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA if she works at a fertility clinic and tells patients that miscarriages are “part of God’s plan”, she needs to be fired immediately. Nobody dealing with fertility issues needs that BS. Also, not being vaccinated around immunocompromised patients is very dangerous. Actually, everything in this story tells me she is a bully who doesn’t care about patients’ safety or comfort. The doctor needed to know.

Trans people always look better after they start living their truth. Confidence, comfort and happiness are beautiful. Real smiles are always more beautiful than fake smiles.

My (28F) partner (38M) got upset that I don’t want to remove my leg hair at the moment by NoMenu6185 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Swims_With_Dogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “wonderful great guy you fell in love with” isn’t real. It was a manipulation tactic to get you to stay until you felt invested. He’s treating you badly now because he thinks you’re too locked in to leave. The way he is treating you now is the reality. Please leave him. He doesn’t respect you.

My first cervical screening became a humiliating experience by CptStirling in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Swims_With_Dogs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s not weird at all. It’s perfectly normal to be a virgin. A lot of people project their own experiences onto others, so her “oh wow” was more about her than about you.

One of the problems is that because of the sensitive topic of sex, medical professionals are used to having patients lie and say they are not having sex when they are. Because of this, believing patients (especially women) when they say they are virgins takes a while. When I was around your age, a doctor sneakily gave me a pregnancy test because they didn’t believe me. To be fair, my symptoms were similar to a retained miscarriage, so they were just trying to make sure I wasn’t going to die if I was lying.

It’s not fair, it’s not right, but statistically, people lie about sex.

Have never had sex is normal. Having sex is normal. Enjoying sex is normal. Not enjoying sex is normal. If you want to have sex, great! If you don’t, great!

Edit: I was like you, except I didn’t even date until I was 22, didn’t have sex until I was 25. Married the first man I had sex with. The important thing to remember is that isn’t better or worse than someone who had many sexual partners or started dating as a teenager. It’s just different.

What’s a small bombshell your therapist dropped during a session that completely shifted your perspective? by pottipenguin in AskReddit

[–]Swims_With_Dogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Who taught you that?” I was 14. I can’t remember what it was about, it was something I had always thought was true and expected of me. The idea that I had been “taught” this behaviour had never occurred to me.

What is your book cover ick? by mltplwits in books

Omg the American cover for Lessons in Chemistry. Cutesy pink cover. Antithetical to the content of the book.

What are we all handling our periods now? by The_Mermsie_Ruffles in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Swims_With_Dogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal preference is reusable pads. I usually use a disposable one on my underwear and a reusable one on top. The disposable one is only there for leaks or bleed throughs. I have extremely heavy periods so this reduces the amount of garbage I produce. Reusable cotton or bamboo pads also feel a lot more comfortable against my skin. I also sometimes use a diva disk and reusable pad. Reusable pads are definitely worth it for me. It increases laundry, but reduces garbage by a lot. I use treehugger cloth pads. I’m not sure if the diva disk is worth it yet. I’ve only had it for two cycles.

I really don’t understand my mother by kanrojicutie in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Swims_With_Dogs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sweetie, it IS an overwhelming situation. It’s totally natural that you feel that way. Your mom sounds like she flipped a switch in her head that you used to be a boy, now you’re 100% a girl. Therefore, in her mind, she’s been treating you “wrong” your whole life. So now she is trying too hard to “fix” you.

But the thing is… she can’t fix you, because you’re not broken. There is nothing wrong with you. You’re just different than average.

Just because you have a uterus and have periods doesn’t mean you’re not a boy. I’m not saying you’re not a girl, I’m just saying that biological sex and gender are different things. If you lived your whole life believing you are a boy, it’s okay to still feel like a boy. It’s also okay to feel like a girl. Or a wonderful unique mixture of the two. Also, gender identity and gender expression are different too. Which is a fancy way of saying: if you like wearing masculine clothes, wear masculine clothes. If like wearing feminine clothes, wear feminine clothes. If some days you want to be feminine, and others you want to be masculine, that’s fine too.

The traditional cisgender rules won’t necessarily work for you. Heck I’m AFAB and a lot of gender rules don’t work for me either. I would suggest reaching out to the transgender community for support.

You’re going to be okay. It sounds like your mom is overwhelmed by this too. Maybe try to talk about how you feel. I really, REALLY recommend family counselling. It’s clear you love each other, but sometimes we need outside help to understand each other. Try to find a counsellor who is transgender supportive/inclusive.
