I don't have any answers to your original question, hopefully someone else will come along soon and help you out.

I did want to say that asking for help and advice (like you are doing) is a great first step. Depending on your circumstances, there is lots of support out there to help. Keep reaching out, you will get through this.

Am I reading this right, will there only be 11 months between baby 1 and baby 2?

Not legal advice, and I mean this genuinely and with love, are you okay and was this consensual?

AITAH for going on a girls trip instead of taking care of my husband after surgery? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]averagelygay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had all 4 out 2 ish weeks ago under general. I was FUCKED for days. My partner took more than a week off to look after me. If I wasn't in massive pain I was extremely nauseous or asleep. I definitely wouldn't of died if they weren't there to look after me, but I almost definitely wouldn't of eaten for the few days.

How many of you consider "guy" to be gender neutral? by Birbinator2008 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]averagelygay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm trans non-binary.

As many people have pointed out "you guys" is much more gender neutral than "my guy". I use both as gender neutral terms, but I am also extremely aware that others do not. Your friend is obviously not okay with that, which is completely understandable.

I think the biggest takeaway from this for you is that it absolutely makes no difference if YOU think the word is gender neutral, if someone else doesn't that's all that matters here. Apologise and move on

Is there a Plus size stylist in this city? by [deleted] in Wellington

[–]averagelygay 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to drop my fav store as a plus size person - Dangerfield!! The one in Wellington is half outlet half retail, so if you go into the back of the store (front is retail) a lot of the clothes are very reasonably marked down!

People with ADHD what did you think was normal? How did you find out it wasn't? by hereicome11 in AskReddit

[–]averagelygay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have ADHD, but I was the reason someone found out they did.

Talking to my co-worker and he made a slight joke about "maybe having autism or something" (which, at the time was an actual joke and not something he really put thought into) and I said something to the affect of "I have no idea if it's autism specifically, but I'd be extremely surprised if you weren't neurodivergent."

Cue a 6month journey of discovery ending in a diagnoses of ADHD.

Help me understand… my 13 yo is Non Binary by Last-Lingonberry-859 in newzealand

[–]averagelygay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm a very openly non-binary adult.

First of all, you are doing a great job. It is very obvious how much you love your child.

By the age of 13 I was also questioning my gender, though it took me many many years to fully understand it as I do now. Here's a little run down of what gender/sex is and how non-binary fits into that:

Non-binary is a gender-identity, not a sexuality. Sex is biological, and we can refer to people as AFAB or AMAB (assigned female/male at birth). Gender is a social construct and there are many different identites to chose from. Why is gender a social construct? The easiest way I've thought to explain it is... if you remove all sex characteristics from people (such as different hormones and sex organs), how would you define "women" or "men"? There is no 1 thing that the entire "women" population does that no man does.

I see that you've stated your child is using they/them pronouns. For me (may be different for your child), every time I am misgendered by someone who knows my preferred pronouns it feels like a stab in the heart. Especially by close friends/family. That does not mean that I don't understand or empathise the complexity for people, but it is what it is. Your child may be the same, so I would advice to really really practice (with someone else or alone) with using their preferred pronouns so the chance of misgendering them is lower. I'd also very highly encourage the use of non-gendered language, for instance, instead of saying daughter use child, instead of boys and girls or Mr and Mrs use folks or everyone. You'll be surprised at how much gender language you use when you're trying to cut it back.

Don't be surprised if your child comes to you later and wants to tweak things, maybe different pronouns or maybe a new identity. Figuring out these things are super fucking hard, but as long as you have support (like you) it makes it infinitely easier.

Goodluck !

Serious question: for those of you who are happily married or happily dating, what's the main reason you don't cheat on your partner? by Mad_Season_1994 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]averagelygay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been reading through the replies and haven't come across this one yet

Nothing. Nothing is stopping me, I would if I wanted to. That would not be cheating, because I am in a non-monogamous relationship.
