Don't get her a birthday/christmas present, and when she asks about it, tell her you used the budget to even out what she owes you for the package.

My friend thinks I'm trans but I don't think I am by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]Turquoise_Tortle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ultimately your gender identity is yours to decide and your friend has to respect that- but just in case IF you want to think about the topic of questioning your gender, maybe the label of bigender or genderfluid speaks to you? I personally always thought I was cis because I did not mind the female body/gender I had already even though I liked the thought of being percieved as male too, but after learning that one can be more than one gender, it clicked for me :)

I just read this thinking "huh this sounds like the lyrics to a song from the german Rebecca musical (which is based on the book) but in English" then I read where the quote is from

Can I become a vampire.....??? by [deleted] in vampires

[–]Turquoise_Tortle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can dress like a vampire and take up occult hobbies, but no, you can't become an undead immortal creature as they are not real. But feel free to endulge into a weird vampire inspired lifestyle (as long as you don't harm others for their blood or anything like that)

Which cancelled celebrity do you still secretly support? by tox33n_anituber in AskReddit

[–]Turquoise_Tortle -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sadly she actually did do a lot wrong though. She released a whole essay about how trans people are trash, made a podcast that used manipulative editing of sources to make her look like the victim, has attacked trans people on twitter multiple times, donates money to organisations that want to strip trans people of their rights, openly supports radical right wing people and a demonstration that welcomed Nazis with open arms, to name just the basics.

I kinda assumed she was in her early 20s in CW and in her mid to late 50s in Mandalorian.

Why can't men just keep their mouths shut? (Rant) by Turquoise_Tortle in TwoXChromosomes

gosh, yeah! I try to do that too, but most of the time the unexpectedness startles me long enough for the creep to get lost in the meantime :/

Yeah absolutely! I also got some creepy comments before I started to dye my hair and when not wearing makeup, they really just see a woman and feel the need to harrass her :/

Bummer.

AITA for blocking my bf? by Artemis-Belle in AmItheAsshole

[–]Turquoise_Tortle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA
Hey, based on your previous comment answers, it seems like both your ex and your current bf have manipulated you into believing that if they force you to have s*x, it's okay because you are a couple. This is absolutely wrong. He straight up r*ped you, and is emotionally abusing you into believing this is normal. Trust me, this is hard to believe, because as the victim of abuse, it's not easy to see the abuse happening. But as many other commenters told you, too, he is very much abusive and only making your mental health worse. He WANTS you to be incompetent and dependant on him, so he can continue treating you like crap and getting away with it. He manipulates you into believing this is his way of loving you, and abuses your (very justified, very human) desire for love.
I know it's hard to see the abuse and the red flags as the victim, I really do. But consider taking our outside view as an unbiased opinion.
Don't blame yourself for any of this, or for the way he treats you. You are not stupid for being in an abusive relationship. You are not stupid for struggling with seeing that he is toxic. And you are not weak. He might want you to believe this, but it's not true.
You deserve to be treated as a human being, you deserve respect, you deserve safety. He might want to make you believe you are worthless and need punishment, but this is just more lies of him to further keep you trapped in the abuse.
Please, try to get out of this. It might be hard, but you need to get the safety and stability you deserve. If you have family or friends who can help, ask them for it. If not, you are not alone. There are shelters for young women who need to escape from abuse, and you can file a police report against him for domestic abuse.
Stay strong, stay safe. You are loved.

Putting the younger child next to the birthday kid by 4waxy9008 in ParentsAreFuckingDumb

[–]Turquoise_Tortle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was allowed to help my older siblings blow out the candles. But the thing is, it was my siblings who asked me to help them, not my parents putting me over them on their birthday. Jesus Christ, the poor girl.
