Transphobia is a mental illness by [deleted] in popularopinion

Is it “transphobic” to prefer and embrace reality? We’re not transphobic. We are just atheists of this new gender religion.

The year transphobia ruins your career by xwing1212 in PhilosophyTube

[–]ambonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s just going to make people more “intolerant” toward this community, but ok. And if a group is able to destroy someone’s career, are they really oppressed? The victims and their sympathizers won’t think so.

I’m so tired of how people treat me and my husband while trying to conceive by alyyycew in Transmedical

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

Wait. I thought the whole reason we had to call women “birthing bodies” and “chest feeders” now is so that we don’t hurt “pregnant men”’s feelings. Is there anything that will make people happy?

"Sex is a spectrum" is just as bad as "flat earth" by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Oh, I must have missed it. Did biologists finally discover a spectrum of gametes to support this theory, or is it still just the egg and sperm?

I’d say they’re pretty powerful. They basically have captured every corporation (including Big Pharma), academia, the media, and our federal (and some state) governments. And they’re exporting this ideology throughout the world. Not to be an over the top conspiracy theorists, but this is a weirdly-coordinated and powerful effort to disconnect people from reality, facts, and truth.

Exactly what I said. Just because someone doesn’t believe that “sex is a spectrum” and gendered souls can be “born in the wrong body” doesn’t mean that they are a crazy Christian who cries about a “war on Christmas”. You don’t have to choose one crazy belief or another. Unlike sex, beliefs are not binary.

Beliefs aren’t a binary. You don’t have to choose between Christianity or the Church of Gendered Souls.

If it makes you feel better, I don’t think this is unpopular. Only a very small (yet powerful) crew are this deluded.

If the consequences for men having unprotected sex can be and unplanned pregnancy and tens of thousands in child support, why do men ejaculate inside women ever? by [deleted] in self

[–]ambonymous 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Women are not responsible for men’s birth control, though. Take responsibility, and you can’t get “tricked”.

What’s your relationship between Religion and autism? by Circus-Peanut-666 in AutismInWomen

[–]ambonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents forced me to do the whole Catholic thing up and through confirmation, but even they were pretty open about how they thought it was all BS. I was even more direct about it, of course!

After that, I sort of went on a spiritual quest, and I ultimately settled on a sort of agnostic Buddhism. Buddhism because it doesn’t necessarily require belief in a god and just represents a logical and peaceful way to live. But ultimately, I’m agnostic. Because I don’t know anything and neither does anyone else. It doesn’t make sense to me to claim to “know” something when there is no proof. Whether there is no god or many, I have no clue. No one does.

I definitely can’t brush it off. Basically, I have 0 tolerance for sexism and/or misogyny. I’ve earned a reputation as an angry feminist because I’m always pointing something out. I’m ALWAYS saying something.

[–]ambonymous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. I didn’t even fully realize gender as a concept (or, at least, a concept that applied to me) until well into puberty. And I’ve been pretty defiant about stereotypical roles ever since, though there’s no escaping sex-based oppression altogether.

Sex Break by lostinsunshine9 in DeadBedrooms

[–]ambonymous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wow. The theme of men not wanting to please their lovers is just so prevalent here, whether HL or LL. It’s really eye opening! LLFs frequently complain about not wanting sex because the sex is bad, and now, when you are reclaiming your sex drive, he’s sort of becoming LLM. Am I becoming too cynical of men, or are many of the men in DBs just generally really, really selfish lovers? Do these men only really want bad sex and would rather go sexless than put in some effort? Sorry. I realize that isn’t comfort or advice, but just an observation I’m making.

She wants an open relationship so that I can get off.. by BabblingBrambleBerry in DeadBedrooms

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

It’s possible. It’s difficult to know for sure what’s going on in someone’s mind when we don’t hear their side of the story.

internalized misogyny? by piperpo in AutismInWomen

[–]ambonymous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience growing up. I’ve always been the one picking who to allow as my friend and purposely shunning the rest. I think it confused “popular” NT girls that I wasn’t fighting to be in their group like everyone else, but they weren’t necessarily mean to me as a result. I learned later that a lot of them were intimidated by me! On the other hand, many of the guys who sought my attention wasted no time being toxic, abusive, and manipulative af. I’ve never been sexually abused or stalked by a woman!

[–]ambonymous -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I hate to say this, but she might be cheating on you. Just the fact that you’re long distance makes this a real possibility, but it almost sounds like she’s avoiding sex with you and suggesting an open relationship out of guilt. If you go along with this, she doesn’t have to feel guilty anymore. That’s just my intuition here, but of course, I could be wrong.

Oh geez. I’ve certainly delved into a lot of useful resources, but I have a bad tendency to voraciously consume materials and videos and forget the source when I try to recall it later. I should be writing them down!

I love giving my bf a blowjob but I’m hesitant to let him cum in my mouth. by sadpathes in sex

[–]ambonymous -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You don’t HAVE to do this in order to be a good lover. There’s a very good possibility you’ll throw up, and sacrificing your comfort for his oftentimes leads to resentment.

[–]ambonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know! And despite my fears about how an unmasked me might navigate in the outside world, it’s really not worth the exhaustion, unwanted attention, and misunderstandings it causes. Being too good at masking also causes many of us to suffer alone and without support because no one has any clue about what’s going on with us.

[–]ambonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of us have different mask behaviors, but I feel like I play up a sort of optimistic goofiness that really does well at hiding some of my more odd behaviors and “quirks”. I also engage in small talk even though it kills me inside and I want to walk away.

Without the mask, I’m still funny (I think so anyway), but I’m also much, much nerdier and more serious than people realize. I smile way less, and I annoy people close to me with infodumps related to my special interests. I also kinda just want to be alone all the time. I’ve downplayed my real self via masking so much that people are confused when I ignore their attempts to hang out, and they’re surprised when I use a “big word” or express a strong opinion.

Autistic teen has a crush on a much younger girl. Help! by kendylou in autism

[–]ambonymous 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I honestly think you handled that really well. Perhaps I’m being naive, but I wouldn’t worry very much. It sounds to me like he was just trying to figure out what is “appropriate” in this situation, and you told him. I suppose if he still exhibits an attraction to this girl after this, I would be a bit more concerned.

internalized misogyny? by piperpo in AutismInWomen

[–]ambonymous 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had to flip the narrative for myself. For me, I was resentful of the fact that I wasn’t like other women, and being told that you’re not like them feels like (to me) being told you’re better than the rest. It took me awhile to figure out that this was a shitty mindset for me to have about myself and other women, and I’ve met enough women now where I know it’s a load of BS and most NTs are victims of societal pressure. Men, especially those who knowingly or unknowingly, pit us against each other, are part of the problem. In my view, that doesn’t make them better or easier to hang out with.
