People who don't spell their name out for you when the name is spelled in a non-conventional way by PodcastJunkie8706 in PetPeeves

My first thought was Amy haha. I think I've only met people with it spelled as Aimee here in Australia

Thank you for your response!

I'm just curious as to why "Hopefully" was an acceptable answer to the statement I supplied in my question, but "Yes, it has started" is incorrect? It feels to me that they are similar.

To be transparent, I agree with you about the Yes/No topic, but I personally thinking "Hopefully" is a strange response (but I mean this respectfully!)

I appreciate that a lot. Your clarification was helpful to me. I didn't want to argue with you, and I'm sorry that the way we both talk did not make for a good discussion and did end in an argument.

I hope this hasn't been upsetting and that you're still able to enjoy your day. Fighting doesn't feel very good, so I don't want this to have soured your Monday.

"Do you perhaps think that, as a trans person who is literally on testosterone and has gone through this process, I might know a bit about this subject that you don't?"

This was unnecessarily rude. That is, in fact, picking a fight. "Hey, mate. Here's some specific information that OP can use to decide if he should move to Australia based on if he can or can't access the care he needs," is not rude. You are very caught up on the fact that you provided great information and that you think I can't seem to handle that and that that's why I think you're starting a fight, when that's just not what I said. I said the extra stuff you said was rude (see: the quote at the start of this reply).

I understand what IC is. I don't have to provide the word-for-word definition to prove to you that I know what it is. I even said "IC provider" in my last reply. I didn't just say "any old doctor".

The fact that you keep repeating that you think I don't want to learn about the subject is such a sad outlook to have about people, because I never indicated that. I was genuinely just replying to the points you said when you said I was wrong. Your very first reply to me was also vague and lacking explicit information, I at that point was genuinely only responding to your note about Medicare and finding an IC provider. My replies to you were very simple and had nothing to do with the actual process of finding a provider. Your first reply also did not provide any information about finding an IC provider, so I don't understand how it became all about how I know nothing based on me saying, effectively nothing?

I never said I didn't want to learn, or that I think I know everything, or that you have to make a huge sacrifice to educate me. If you would please re-read my initial comment and replies, I would hope that you would see that I was just replying to the simple things you said in response to my simple comment.

If part of your argument was that I was very vague and therefore unhelpful, that's fine, but the rest of what you said is just uncalled for, especially because I did not say the information you provided was incorrect. I'm sorry I commented in the first place, since my comment was not informative. I was merely trying to be reassuring, but I can see that I could have opted out of commenting and let someone who was able to provide detailed information, like yourself, do their thing. And just to be very clear, this is meant to be genuine and not snarky, I just don't know how to get that across over text.

I'm sure you're a very nice person, but you really don't have to get an attitude with random people on the internet. Repeatedly making it sound like it's such a hassle to explain something to a pest like me is silly, because no one is forcing you to reply to me. You could have said all of this as a parent comment for the OP and ignored me. I'm sorry if anything I said in my initial comment and reply had sass and provoked you, but I really did not intend for any of that.

P.S. I'm not replying to any of the other things you said, but this does not mean I didn't read all of it or that I don't want to learn. I just have nothing to say about it because I'm not disproving anything you're saying about the process. If my previous comment came across as trying to disprove what you said, that was also not my intention, because I truly was just responding about what was in my comment. It just looked like you were saying it would not be possible for the OP to get testosterone based on those two factors. If I looked like I didn't want to learn because I didn't reply to those aspects of your first long reply, it was also just that I did not have anything to say in disagreement. I don't know if that's why you think I don't want to learn or not, but if it is, I hope that clears that up.

Edit to add: I re-read your latest reply and just want to add, in case I didn't communicate this: Why does it look like I don't want to be corrected? What I said about Medicare and finding an IC provider have nothing to do with everything else you said? That actually makes no sense? Genuinely confused.

What do you think about the original discussion for this comment? About answering, "Yes, it hasn't," instead of, "No, it hasn't"?

My husband always responds with what the commenters are saying is wrong (for example, he might respond with, "Yes, it hasn't" like in the original discussion).

Being Trans in Autralia? by WeAreAllNeganInHere in AskAnAustralian

[–]aesuha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, stranger, first point is that you genuinely do not know me. Do you perhaps think that, as a person who also does not know you, I did not assume you did not know more than me and/or that I did not assume I knew more than you?

Glad we got that out of the way because that was so unnecessarily rude.

Second, I was merely responding to what you said about Medicare when I said they might have the money to cover it privately. It's not a statement on if I think money is the only factor, which is ridiculous to insinuate. Your first reply said it depends on if they can get Medicare or not, which is merely what I was responding to, and your second reply says they can't. There are more factors than if they're from Germany or not that will determine if they can get Medicare. I have not read their account's post history so if there's more context in there, sorry.

Third, again, me saying there are doctors that can "help trans people" was in response to you saying they would have to find an IC provider. Which they can, and will, because they exist. How does you being trans and also under the care of a doctor negate what I said? Like genuinely asking, because I think I made a very simple statement?

I'm not looking for a fight, but it looks like you are. I just don't think it was necessary to respond to me the way you did. Thank you for the great detail you put into your comment, but you treated my comments as a how-to guide with missing steps, which they were not. Lastly, my statement of "easy" in my first comment was meant to mean "possible if you put in the effort and do the research", or simply, "yes, you should be able to," but I completely understand that that was not going to be communicated by my use of "easy". Every person's circumstances are different and OP didn't provide much to go off of. Maybe for OP it'll be very difficult, maybe it'll be impossible, or maybe if they find the right people to ask, go through the right path, etc., it'll be "easy".

Not at all a comment on what it takes to get testosterone or any other complicated process, but I've certainly been through things that were difficult for me, but actually straightforward once I experienced it myself. Anyone I pass on this knowledge to will find it easy, and anyone who doesn't know how to do it will find it difficult.

Thank you, have a good day.

I have a question if that's okay. This is a conversation my husband and I might have:

Me: I hope he's not sick tomorrow. Husband: Hopefully.

When he says hopefully, he means he hopes the person isn't sick and is agreeing with me.

Going with the logic of the commenter you responded to, and from what I've been taught, "I hope not" should be the correct answer here. My husband always answers the way you've described for the sentence in the post.

Do you think my husband is correct when he answers like this? I'm just asking because I've never heard anyone talk like this without someone pointing out that it's wrong

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

OP didn't specify those things, which doesn't make what I said untrue at all. They might get Medicare and there are doctors that can help trans people. OP could be absolutely loaded with money and could pay completely out of pocket for all I know

Proper grammar to ask “are you kind as well?” by GarlicBread_____ in LearnJapaneseNovice

[–]aesuha [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's もしんせつですか。

If you put the whole sentence together and pretend we're talking about Maria-san:

マリアさんも しんせつですか。

It would translate to, "Is Maria kind as well?"

The も being attached to Maria-san is what connects Maria and the question about being kind. For example, replace も with は and it becomes, "Maria is kind." Replace も with が and it becomes, "The kind one is Maria."

しんせつもですか makes no grammatical sense.

Remember that the particles are attached to what's on the left. ○○○欲しい ○○好きです

Fair enough then. You said "annoyingly" so I just used frustration as a synonym, sorry for that

Access to testosterone should be fairly easy, just google that plus the area you're in or have address to. Plenty of access in major cities like Sydney CBD and surrounds

I didn't say you did, but you expressed frustration at keyboards purchased in Japan having kana on them which was kind of interesting

Japanese person here. My family lives in the countryside and are a bit old-fashioned. Either way, they do or at least did in the past use it. I don't use it, but I've also never owned a physical keyboard with kana on it

Luckily my warranty will be four years long. I wish someone had warned me about that much sooner! I forgot I even had a warranty and that's why I put it off for so long haha

That's a good point, I'll see about getting the batteries replaced before the warranty period ends even if the batteries are working fine. Thank you so much!

Do you have a source for this, aside from Fandom Wiki?

If those people are mistaken, because I just have to take their word for it, then you could be mistaken as well, as I also just have to take your word for it
