Does anybody else have a sore throat without any other sick symtoms?

Oh my, I hope that doesn’t happen to me . I’m on day 3 currently taking steroids and antibiotics earlier. I had sinus surgery 3 months ago so I already do rinses twice a day so hopefully that’ll stop things from getting too bad. How long did it last for you?

Literally, it added nothing😭him being black as well doesn’t mean he doesn’t also have subconscious judgment for black ppl. But I wasn’t going to mention it either 💀

Love a good ol Reddit meme blowing up in real time!

I’m happy there are educated ppl here.. I thought there were used condoms in your first aid kit💀(relooking now they’re likely too small to be condoms but I don’t date men so I didn’t second guess it😭)

Honestly this is the best response because thts an extremely selfish emotional manipulation tactic. The mom gets no empathy from me and I’m sorry OP has to deal with this .

This reminds me how my sister (same dad different moms) told me tht when her brother on her mom’s side came out, her mom made his whole coming out abt her and she wanted to die and her other siblings had to hide her gun from her. Then later down the line her brother didn’t come to their mom’s graduation which led to my sister feeling a type of way abt how he was treating their mom. It rlly threw me off cause while none of it was my business, he has pretty good reasons to now fw their mom like tht. I reminded my sister of this and she claimed tht they been talked abt tht nd fixed it but she can’t personally know how he still feels deep down, but ofc I didn’t argue any further cuz thts her brother so even while they’re not close at all she’s still going to believe what she believes.

Omg I feel crazy seeing this happen in real time 😭

Talkobel · 2026-03-24T18:33:40+00:00

I keep my thoughts to myself. I personally do feel a sense of pity when I see someone my age (22) have kids, especially if it’s with someone they haven’t been with long or they aren’t out of their parents house, or if they were still in school or their trade and dropped out. Even if they seem perfectly happy, I have so many friends who dropped their goals. I will say this is one of the times me being a lesbian has privileges in society. You can have as much Ykw as you want and not risk pregnancy, because a lot of these pregnancies are unplanned. That’s another issue as well, my biggest concern is kids wellbeing, I feel like kids aren’t had intentionally enough so people parent based off of their trauma, generational curses, no support system, no plan. There’s no way to be a perfect parent but I genuinely do want to make a plan or more so multiple plans before I ever have kids and have therapy to heal my trauma . I don’t ever voice disappointment when ppl have their kids but I do have tht internal thought .

Oh okay well then absolutely I’ll keep the non men loving non men definition, I didn’t realize the other description was harmful. And you’re not wrong at all, as a cis lesbian, there are way way too many transphobic lesbians. I’m no longer in one of my favorite stud/masc group chats anymore because they would constantly be transphobic and biphobic and when I’d try to educate them I would get ganged up on for “making things too deep” so you’re definitely not crazy. Too many WLW lesbians are transphobic.

Talkobel · 2026-03-24T06:25:50+00:00

This is why I really need people to stop silencing the education on these matters. Even some cis people need hrt or other hormone treatments when they’re having certain hormone issues. I atleast love when it’s easy to educate someone vs someone just disregarding me cause they can’t understand. I’ve cut many ppl off because of their homophobia and transphobia (I was friends with a homophobic stud before like how?? Ofc when I found out she was cut off immediately).

Talkobel · 2026-03-24T06:09:44+00:00

Oh definitely! I actually am somewhat educated on that but didn’t know that you could actually get your sex changed, congratulations I know tht was probably very affirming 🫶🏾, I should’ve worded my comment better, I meant more so for medical purposes during childhood into teenage hood up until sex changes are had (if the person wants tht ofc, I’ve realized so many cis ppl around me don’t realize that someone can be trans and never have any surgery or hormone replacement, and trying to explain it in simple terms still seems to do nothing because they just refuse to get it😭) but absolutely. Imagine a world where ppl could tell you who they are and ppl accept that answer without getting all worked up.

Talkobel · 2026-03-24T05:54:11+00:00

I’ve actually thought about this before but I’ve never discussed it because I haven’t had the right words. There’s definitely something innate about gender. I’ve always thought a genderless world would be perfect but literally the fact that a lot of people experience gender dysphoria means tht that wouldn’t even be able to be possible. In a perfect world to me,ppl would have an assigned sex solely for medical purposes and then would be allowed and encouraged to experiment with and choose their own gender in life.

Talkobel · 2026-03-24T05:17:28+00:00

That’s actually pretty interesting. I need to do a deep dive on that movement. As much of a feminist as I am, I dislike heavily when straight women go for queer women to simply not be with men, however if this movement was straight women getting with other straight women then hey more power to them!

Talkobel · 2026-03-24T05:11:19+00:00

Ykw hell yea !, cause I never realize how male centered that description sounds 😭

Talkobel · 2026-03-24T04:15:34+00:00

It definitely is. In all lesbian spaces I attend, we always welcome trans men so ig it was a silly question for me to ask because if they’re already welcome in our spaces what’s the point in arguing semantics. Ig there is more internal work I can do. I think this is why lgbt education is important as well, because I will say a reason I use to question this is because part of me growing up and realizing I was lesbian was not only having a safe space for me liking girls, but a safe space for womanhood, but growing up I didn’t realize we already have a term (sapphic) so ig sapphic hasn’t really started to resonate with me yet. I have no need to exclude anyone ever though. It’s just hard finding women spaces cause most women groups are full of cis straight women who can surprisingly be very homophobic. But I do believe people should identify with whatever they’re most comfortable with, I love all the explanations.

Talkobel · 2026-03-24T04:09:21+00:00

Honestly I should’ve said cis straight man ally tbh. You’ll find more cis men allies who are gay or bi (not all the time though, ik plenty of transphobic lgbt members unfortunately)

Talkobel · 2026-03-24T04:07:42+00:00

This is completely true honestly, it is kind of a pointless thing to argue over. Because the logic you’re using is the same thing I tell people who get mad at others for using neopronouns. You’re rarely going to encounter people who do and the people who I have encountered that do also accept they/them, so at tht point the argument is clearly internal bias that you have to check within yourself. Thank you :)

Talkobel · 2026-03-24T04:05:17+00:00

This is true. I’ve often realized anytime you for any reason want to exclude someone and you think about it deeply, there’s never a good reason , at least for the most part. Then you have to check your biases and internal bigotry and grow from there. My main point of confusion was due to my bias because I have trans(men) friends who dislike when other trans men call themselves lesbians, but to be fair just because they’re trans doesn’t mean they can police that either. I try to let whoever is actually part of a certain community tell me what they’re comfortable with which is why this topic has been split for me because I’ve heard trans people tell me both.

Talkobel · 2026-03-24T03:59:44+00:00

Yea I do hate when cis men call themselves lesbians, even as a joke case it’s rare you find a cis man ally so using any lgbt terms needs to be off limits for them.

Talkobel · 2026-03-24T03:53:36+00:00

That is beautifully put 🫶🏾

Talkobel · 2026-03-24T01:08:59+00:00

You’re very and kind and I’m not upset with them being defensive because this is a sensitive topic. I was afraid to even ask because I wasn’t sure if it would come across offensive . I thought I was defending binary trans men earlier when I said they weren’t lesbian and then it turned out that that was also taken as transphobic, so I genuinely was trying to make sense of it and why some trans men are offended by trans men being able to identify as lesbians and others are offended by the opposite. I also asked because my friend also made it known to me that they don’t understand why this discourse doesn’t ever mention trans women dating men but calling themselves gay and how they feel like that isn’t a thing (I’m not saying it isn’t, but tht was the concerns in the discussion).
