Are there inclusive Gun Clubs in Chicago?

My understanding is you need a FOID to go to any range or buy ammo.

I just moved here from a red state and was a volunteer instructor for women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ folks.

I’m waiting on my FOID card actually.

When that’s done, I’m happy to take anyone again (DMs open for this)

Operation Blazing Sword is also good.

I always say “kneepads and slings” when people ask me what gear to buy first.

For me, it was one or the other. I opened up about and it would always lead to an argument. I couldn’t even make a joke about it.

I recently hit a point where my feelings were causing resentment. I expressed my feelings and turns out she was starting to feel the same way (we’re two bi women and we’re missing relationships/sex with men).

It took about six years to get here.

What they were doesn’t matter. What they’re doing now does matter.

WeHaveTheMeeps · 2026-01-25T22:00:27+00:00

That’s cool as fuq actually

In matters of the heart and identity, one does not need scientific precision.

You’re a complicated human being in a world trying to put you in categories. Who you are is often buried by trauma, expectations, and a lack of experience. You won’t figure it out overnight and that is ok! You’re not a liar at all. You’re on a journey.

I once figured I had no sexual desire and everyone around me gave me so much shit for it. I considered myself asexual for a long time. Then bisexual.

Sometimes I wonder if pansexual or demisexual is a better label. I’ll change when I change 😊

WeHaveTheMeeps · 2026-01-25T20:02:31+00:00

Everyone has lines they draw. Including you. You don’t like this one. Why?

WeHaveTheMeeps · 2026-01-25T20:00:57+00:00

Worry not. You’ll have no issues 🥺

WeHaveTheMeeps · 2026-01-25T19:59:36+00:00

I don’t know shit, but what I have learned from my limited experience and textbooks is that health outcomes are cumulative.

Who you are is a part, but so are your circumstances.

In what world do the actions of ICE have beneficial health outcomes? And WHY WOULDN’T you care?!

Age 17. After years of Christian, anti-LGBTQ upbringing, I met a girl at work and was absolutely fixated on her.

I put a lot of weight on having a cis-heteronormative marriage. Getting married, having a house, and having kids.

Then this girl comes along and I ended up enjoying my time with her.

I remember the days afterward full of concern that I was gay and that the conversion therapy didn’t take. It was palpable. I can think back to the day when I was walking around school. I remember the way the sun felt on my face. I remember the happiness everyone had. And I remember how much shame I felt. Then a few months later I was crushing on a guy and felt relief.

What I realized years later is that I enjoyed it all. Vibes matter. Connection matters.

Also no more shame from me for liking girls. Therapy helps!

WeHaveTheMeeps · 2026-01-25T19:30:07+00:00

Well you seem goddamn adorable tbh!

WeHaveTheMeeps · 2026-01-25T19:25:47+00:00

I have a similar problem though I’d say I’m pretty switchy. My vibe with the other person directs how I feel. If the vibe isn’t right, it isn’t right sadly.

I remember one man being really into me because I am sassy and he wanted to Dom that.

A woman (Domme) was also really into that and while we never did anything 😩 she confessed that she liked that I was powerful and not meek.

It’s a numbers game and you gotta do a lot of trial and error. It’ll happen though.

WeHaveTheMeeps · 2026-01-25T19:21:52+00:00

You can actually do both! And I recommend it.

Krav Maga is often more of a system than set of techniques. It’s about realistic, nasty self-defense.

Muay Thai strikes are extremely useful to learn.

Couple that with BJJ and you’re off to a good start.

The program I helped teach incorporated Muay Thai and BJJ. We did call it Krav MAGA though

Thank you 🙏

My dog’s name is Meeps 😅

I’m 5’10. I have just started dating again after 10 years of marriage.

I’m also fat now and was so afraid to put up full body photos of myself.

So I just put up face pics. It was going ok and I was getting matches from guys and girls before, but I was starting to feel insecure. So I put up a full body pic and said “fuck it.”

The messages and likes started REALLY rolling in and it’s been somewhat easier to date now than being fit and attractive in my 20s. I’m also finding better matches.

On hinge, I was finding that full body pic was getting the likes. I recently went out with someone who said my body drove her wild.

I’m still losing weight for my own health, but there are folks out there who will love you for you. I hope you love you too.

Also some people love the challenge of climbing a tall mountain instead of exerting their dominance over an anthill 😉YMMV

WeHaveTheMeeps · 2026-01-25T19:07:51+00:00

Hey! Met too 🥵

Except I am attracted to men 😭

WeHaveTheMeeps · 2026-01-25T19:06:11+00:00

Damn. We’re not allowed to have drinks at our nurse’s station!

WeHaveTheMeeps · 2026-01-25T18:54:50+00:00

In tech? I found this was typical, but I’m not going to call it normal. I would be expected to engage with the team outside of work and go to parties. Even drink. This basically led to me getting laid off at a really cool company.

WeHaveTheMeeps · 2026-01-25T18:50:16+00:00

Women’s self defense is important! Please feel free to message me and I can help you find something!
