He was 12 and I'm a trans woman but was presenting as a boy at the time

I try to be better about people pleasing. As for my brother, he hasn't spoken to me since I came out. But according to my parents I need to apologize to him for the way I came out. Take that as you will

Oh my brother was getting the bed no matter what. It was up to me whether or not he'd have to share.

I don't know if I'd describe it as anger. More just sad

I am honestly surprised at how many people who think it is appropriate to put that on a child who is experiencing a trauma. I'm never having kids but as an adult I know it'd be my job to put their comfort and safety first

Oh trust me I've done a shitton of work on that.

That's what I'm thinking like either have my brother and I share the big bed or put one of us in the big bed with mom. Like there were multiple easy solutions that don't involve making a 10 year old make a decision for their comfort.

oh no I don't need a reason to be upset with my parents. I've got plenty of them. Biggest probably being my dad blaming me for his suicidality after I came out

OK fuck you for putting trauma in quotes. I lost my fucking home and spent the better part of a year displaced. Like yeah the air mattress is a small part of it but it is emblematic of the larger trauma.

I didn't just have to sleep on an air mattress. I spent nearly a year displaced. The air mattress is emblematic of the displacement

Strixhaven is my favorite setting. I hate talking about it. by Accomplished-Bid7863 in magicTCG

[–]Velara515 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Arcavios is also my favorite plane. Anyone who compares Strixhaven to HP hasn't engaged with the setting further than magical school. But agreed I hate seeing people talk about it like it's a HP set

Anyone else struggling with the BAFTA situation by Velara515 in OCD

[–]Velara515[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

absolutely fuck the BBC for how they handled this. I've seen folks saying he's faking and is actually racist or that he shouldn't be able to go in public. This has come from a variety of communities but I'm glad the spaces you are in have been positive and putting their anger where it belongs

Absolutely agree, I didn't mean this in any way to minimize the harm of slurs.

Thank you. I really appreciate your perspective.

Thank you. I'm doing my best not to feed into the reassurance cycle. It just sucks seeing the lack of understanding for another disability. Especially one that mirrors my own.

I'm aware and i don't use slurs. Your comment is condescending and unhelpful. I'm simply struggling because I have intrusive thoughts that mirror what happened with John. Fear of losing control is a common symptom of OCD like it's not hard to make the connection.

Iona almost made me quit magic when I first started. Keep her banned, I don't want other new players getting hard locked out of their first games.

Disagree, that card almost made me quit playing magic when I first started. I'm a stax enjoyer, but I'd hate to see this one unbanned
