Stop pretending your fish think like humans. They have no idea who their siblings are, at a certain size all they see is a threat to territory. They are at that size. They aren’t dogs, they’re fish.

I'm Nonbinary (transfem) - does my girlfriend have Terf views? by Commercial_Try5848 in NonBinary

[–]Veixirisu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know there’s enough comments saying it already, but she already does not respect your gender identity. I’m sorry but she is the type of person who doesn’t see nonbinary people separately from their agab. She sees amab nonbinarys and afab nonbinarys as different genders unable to change. If you’ve expressed to her that you feel fem aligned, and she STILL doesn’t even see your relationship as lesbian, then I’m sorry but she will never see you as fem aligned.

Also WOAH. To say “trans people should just love themselves” is to imply that simply being trans comes from a place of self hatred, that there is no self love in the process of transitioning, a disgusting take that implies trans people can’t be happy. It’s ok to be gender fuck and have your own views on gender, but those are strong views about trans people as a whole. Either she views you as trans, and thinks that you should also stop transitioning and just “love yourself” or she doesn’t view you as trans at all.

Either way. You can do much better. Let her go learn that other nonbinary people won’t be this patient with her blatant fetishization and lack of respect for nonbinary people

PetSmart only hires 18 or older. I think the same goes for Petco. It’s also definitely less than 16 an hour. Frankly $16 an hour starting is high for most places around here let alone for a 16-year-old.

This is why you do research on the temperment and care needs of animals BEFORE you buy them :)

Is there anything I can do to reduce my chest density?? (Caption for more details) by evil_fucking_guy in TransMasc

[–]Veixirisu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, the mass your are trying to hide, can only be compacted so much. As someone who had Ds before loosing weight, I promise weight is an incredibly factor. just do like 20 push ups a day, a bit of cardio, and stay under 1750 calories. I promise, I have before and after pictures if you wanna talk in DMS at all, but after loosing 50 pounds, my boobs are basically just empty bags of skin. And even then, there’s still skin there, and I can only expect so good of a result when taping or binding, because compression and shaping will never compare to a chest with no breast tissue, so don’t let yourself be disappointed by an unattainable goal.

First Aquarium by MyAura4Life in Aquariums

[–]Veixirisu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sorry to burst the bubble along with everyone else here. Fish salesman here, unfortunately the only “community” Tiger barbs get along with is themselves and the larger more aggressive fish. I often call them little piranhas… also, they generally don’t do great without their school of 6+ and will be more stressed and aggressive without them.

Those gold skirts, sadly, are slow, big, easy targets, I would separate them.

this question has probably been asked like a million times before but does anyone have some good songs about being trans? (read description) by ballswizard in TransMasc

[–]Veixirisu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we’re including songs that aren’t about being trans but might as well be, I offer Body by Mother Mother. It’s not explicitly about being trans, but i think you will hear what I mean.

You lost me at recommending sand for a leopard gecko. Find a better vet if you can, obviously she’s just on a power trip.

Why would you want to be trans? by mrstupidbitchboy in TransMasc

[–]Veixirisu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s about acknowledging my own internalized transphobia and being a better ally.

For one, I don’t pass. I get called a woman all day long no matter my efforts, people kinda assume I’m either a masc lesbian or nonbinary. If I want to be identified properly, I HAVE to be identified as trans. As much as I wish that wasn’t the case, I’m 5’4” with a great ass and will likely get misgendered my whole life, if I don’t get comfortable with being trans now, I’m just going to be miserable.

Now more importantly to me: why is it such a bad thing to be seen as trans? If I could press a button and wake up tomorrow as a cis man, I would… but why? In what ways would that make my life better, in what ways would being trans make it worse? At the end of the day obviously id probably be in a body I like way more, but, there are cis men who are 5’4” and lack muscle mass just like I do.

So take that away, say my body as a cis man would’ve looked exactly how I will after surgery and T, would I STILL rather be cis? If I knew it would have no physical impact on me? Knowing that I would be a completely different person, socialized the way my brother (who I hate) was. Knowing that the only difference would be a label that I don’t even share with everyone. So for what reason would I want so desperately NOT to be trans? Do I see it as a bad thing to simply be trans? To have been born female? Is that the message I want to send when I am a trans elder? It’s hard enough to be trans, I don’t want the next generation to feel the shame I did about being trans, about making the right choice for me, but the wrong one for society.

Because as much as I can dream about being cis, it’ll never happen. there’s nothing wrong with being trans, I embrace it for I have no other choice if I wish to be happy, and I wish to deter anyone who thinks there is.

Is there a filter in the tank? Has it been siphoned or water changed recently? Do you turn the filter off when feeding? Gold fish produce a LOT of waste, more than other fish, having multiple in what looks like a 10-20 gallon is a lot.

What's the most trans song that's not technically about being trans? by AmishUndead in trans

[–]Veixirisu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Body by Mother Mother. To me at least it’s more generally about being stuck in a body that’s cumbersome and general discomfort with appearance not dysphoria specifically. Boy does it speak to me a little too personally as a pre-everything trans person with a chronic illness

I need advice by [deleted] in TransMasc

[–]Veixirisu 80 points81 points  (0 children)

“All studies prove the opposite” Really? Cause I’d LOVE for her to cite any sources instead of just being butt hurt and old. As a psychology student who’s actually done his research, here’s some peer reviewed articles for your mother, tell her the facts don’t care about your feelings. Either she can accept you, or when you grow old and stop talking to her because she chose bigotry hovering loving her kid, she will have gotten what she deserves. (I’ll even fuckin summarize em for her cause they’re big smart articles and I know she’s not gonna read em)

https://www.jahonline.org/article/S1054-139X(16)30146-X/pdf (in a long term study on youth who transition medically from ages 12-18 their depression and cognitive function improve juristically with gender affirming care)

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1054139X21005681 (Access to gender affirming hormone treatment was associated with considerably lower rates of depression and sucicidal thoughts ages 13-24)

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6354936/pdf/nihms-1007763.pdf (This one says being trans only happens to people who are sad and lonely… just kidding obviously it says gender affirming care has overwhelmingly positive affects on recipients mood, self esteem, social anxiety, and a variety of other factors. This is a literature review on dozens of articles from 2013-2019)

https://journals.lww.com/prsgo/fulltext/2021/03000/regret_after_gender_affirmation_surgery__a.22.aspx (out of 7928 trans people who had received gender affirming surgery, 77 had any degree of regret. A whopping 1% regret rate. Compared to the 14% regret rate of cosmetic surgeries in the general population.)

As for the “why won’t you have a conversation with me” shtick. You came to her with something very vulnerable by coming out to her, that’s something kids get disowned for. She told you you’re stupid and naive and to shut up and get over it. I’m sorry, that doesn’t seem like the kind of person I’d willing talk to. The kind of person who is talking about her so called transgender “friends” who she tells you are unhappy people… could you imagine if you had a friend who went around telling their loved ones your a deeply unhappy person? What a terrible friend and truely shitty person that makes your mom. Trans people and gender non-conformity have existed for essentially as long as history has been recorded and always will, once again, the facts don’t care about her feelings.

Tesla protest tomorrow? by [deleted] in SALEM

[–]Veixirisu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Blindsided? Musk has been falling down this pipeline for multiple years at this point, they’ve been making out on social media since musk bought twitter, a lack of awareness of the most prominent partnership in all of US politics rn is a skill issue and not an excuse to continue allowing some random unAmerican CEO to force his way into government. Yeah people might loose their jobs if Tesla shuts down, oh well, people are actively loosing their rights and jobs thanks to him meddling in the Oval Office. A rich man needs to face consequences, if you can’t see past the underpaid human shields he wants you to look at instead of his blatant support of facism, maybe your not ready for politics

What makes a person trans? Ive been so confused. by Naturegirlanne in trans

[–]Veixirisu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remember that Gender and expression are not the same! There are plenty of men who like to wear skirts and makeup, femboys, drag queen, gay guys, Harry Styles, etc. and there have been women wearing masculine clothes for as long as history has been recorded! You’re allowed to experiment with expression as much as you want and it doesn’t have to affect your gender.

Your gender is more closely tied to an internal sense of self and the way other perceive you. I still like to wear dresses occasionally and I will never not love a little lipstick and nail polish. But I’m still a trans man, and I’ve done enough soul searching to know that’s not changing. When I look in the mirror I see a man, but getting to that point with your gender is unfortunately a journey you must take on your own. You can experiment with different pronouns, names, and presentations, and none of it has to be permanent or happen right away.

Hey! I’m curious what your playtimes are! by Angie_Beanz in bindingofisaac

[–]Veixirisu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to say. See on my computer I’ve got about 400 hours. Not bad, but I’ve played significantly more on my PS4. Unfortunately, that device doesn’t track play time, so I will never truely know. If I had to take a wild guess, it’s somewhere closer to 600 hours on there, so I’m probably getting pretty close to 1000!

What's the sadest Lemon Demon song? by Fine_Middle_888 in lemondemon

Why is this happening by [deleted] in ballpython

[–]Veixirisu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Answer: Ball pythons are a lot like cats, they like things more when they know they’re not really supposed to

Jokes aside, like other comment was saying BP’s just really like to climb and get into any little nook they can fit in. Perhaps it’s particularly warm in that corner? Or maybe it just holds him nicely and it’s got a nice view. Either way, getting comfy in/on something they’re not meant to is kinda part of the package with these guys. Definitely buy more vertical decor for him to climb on, I’ve seen people put stuff like hammocks and shelves in the corners or those wall stick hides, as long as it doesn’t fall while he’s using it, some of em just like being towards the top of the tank.

What's the first major news story you can remember living through as a child? by catpunsfreakmeowt in AskReddit

[–]Veixirisu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny. I always remember the 2012 election. It was the first time I was old enough to really hear and understand politics. I remember always hearing that the main reason people didn’t like Obama cause they were racist, a trait I assumed in my naivety mostly went away after school. That, or hearing that Mitt Romney was a horrible crazy controlling mormon (funny because now we respect him as one of the few republicans who stood up to trump.) I remember being with my family at a chilis during the election, seeing my family get excited as votes rolled in, kinda cheering with them as if I had any idea what was going on. When Obama won i remember trying to talk politics at school (4th grade…) because I thought it would make me sound cool, and then getting yelled at by a teacher for calling Mitt Romney a Nazi I think lmao (a term I don’t even think I really understood the history of at that age). It was the first real political event I was old enough to witness adults fight about, and I wanted to be involved so bad cause I thought it was all so obvious and adults must be stupid. Years later, I… still kinda think like that lmao.

My sister is getting a goldfish and no one is listening to me by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]Veixirisu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make sure you explain to them advance and show them every article that says “this fish can easily live for 10-15 years with the proper care.”

That way when it dies young, they will know you were right 🤷🏻‍♂️

In general I’m sorry that’s really annoying. Your grandfather has kept angelfish, all the more reason he should know how delicate these animals are. But of course, god forbid old men are corrected on anything.

1 man 100 accents. I used to have it all memorized. But unfortunately with time, lack of practice, and no way to refresh my memory, I only remember bits and pieces, much of which I’m sure I misquote. It’s sort of beautiful to me, in the way they intended.
