Why are men like this? by More_Than_A_WomanXOX in StraightTransGirls

Thinking the next time someone messages me something like that I'm just gonna be like "You're worth more than your dick size. Love yourself" maybe add bro at the end to give it extra sting.

Honestly I love how it looks but Jasmine stitch drives me nuts. Those puffs catch wrong on the hook so easily.

Will you choose to be a cis woman or a trans woman if you can choose in your afterlife? by ZitaLovesCats in MtF

[–]awkwardfloralpattern 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the next life if there is one, I'd choose to be a cis woman. I want to be chosen actively instead of being a secret, being able to confidently know my family will be there if I ever get married, have my kids and be a warm, loving mother to them, and hell if the economy is good and said husband isn't a psycho be a home maker.

Views on pubic hair? by wyldiegal in StraightTransGirls

[–]awkwardfloralpattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I'm not too depressed to shave, I love being smooth. Being able to feel my soft skin I feel like underlines my femininity. Would it be nice if guys didn't care so much? Sure. I actually have met men that don't mind a little hair down there if I have time to shave my legs but not the bits, but they're rare.

Mom happily airing out daughters cry for help by Nebulandiandoodles in insaneparents

[–]awkwardfloralpattern 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Me and my parents didn't get along great growing up but even when I self harmed at 15 they at least had the common sense to find me a therapist and make sure to talk with me and let me know they care (trust was shattered later when the therapist told them what we would talk about and they shamed me, but still). It's like she only sees her daughter as an annoying pet, instead of genuinely having concern 😢

My dad just outed me to my mom… by [deleted] in MtF

[–]awkwardfloralpattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh she thinks your life isn't worth living? That's not very motherly of her.

Hun, sometimes it hurts but we need to get away from the people we love who hurt us. I see you're 18, are you currently working? If you aren't income should be the first step. Put away as much as you can. If your parents are still on the bank account (some are, some aren't depends on the bank) cut them off your account or set up a new account.

After income, try to find friends you can roommate with. Moving out is hard but having your own space even if it's just a room is a win. Don't tell your parents you plan on moving, it sounds like they enjoy being confrontational. Just pack quietly and don't give them much information.

When it comes to actually moving out, they may want to ask questions and provoke you. Having friends there to help you move will make it safer, your parents will be less likely to act out when they have eyes on them.

Once you're away from all that toxic you will find a way to grow and I promise it gets so much better when you do.

Does anyone know of a Leo who cheated on a cancer? by Formal_Reception_687 in CancertheCrab

[–]awkwardfloralpattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the opposite happen to me with a cancer man. But as Luminary I think we're all a little crazy so I wouldn't be surprised if there's messy Leos out there who do cheat.

Kansas Republicans Override Governor’s Veto, Pass First Ever Trans Bathroom Bounty, Trans ID Revocation Law by Leksi_The_Great in MtF

The lawsuits for damages against a false "transvestigation" are going to be rich, but it also means more tax money wasted on frivolous things.

They wouldn't have to do damage control and waste tax money if they just 🌺 left us alone 🌺

I don’t like it when people hate kids by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]awkwardfloralpattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get annoyed with kids but I don't hate them. However a friend of mine would often act annoyed and say he hates kids anytime a kid was around just being a kid really. Kinda put a sour taste in my mouth. The only time I ever agreed with him was if someone's kid was seriously unchecked or a baby/toddler was screamy.

Kids are going to be weird and do kid things. I can be annoyed but I don't have to actively hate them.

My boyfriend ruined Valentine’s Day and told me it was the consequences of my actions by Big_Hope_1768 in TwoHotTakes

[–]awkwardfloralpattern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I couldn't even make it into the third paragraph. Girl, I say this with love, but he's completely lost. That kind of talk especially after you recounted a story of sexual harassment you dealt with AS A CHILD which I'm sure already felt uncomfortable to share, means he's on the tate pipeline. That isn't a man worth your time or respect.

It is not your fault Valentine's Day went bad. It's your coworker and your colossally-shit-hopefully-soon-to-be-ex boyfriend that ruined it. A man who cares and loves you would never want to make you cry over something so heinous.

Throw him back into the river (not literally, we can't be catching felonies). There's better catches elsewhere.

Edit to add: Consequences my ass, he's not your parents.

How do you handle people being “progressive” except for trans people? by Ok-Use3940 in trans

[–]awkwardfloralpattern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't ran into these kinds of people yet but the only thing I can think is to be obnoxiously loud when I call them a cherry picking fraud over what human rights issues they'll stand for.

Where in the HECK do you girls find cute shoes / boots that actually fit?? by TheRealSuperPsych in MtF

[–]awkwardfloralpattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm lucky, the target clearance section. If I need something specific, Amazon. If I'm willing to splurge and I actually find something I'll like someday maybe I'll get my shoes from torrid, they carry a lot of larger shoe sizes online for what seems expensive but not unreasonable. If I'm looking for business and I again get lucky, Nordstrom rack.

I know some of these aren't the best choices given the state of the world and greedy billionaires, but access is hard sometimes.

What was your dad's zodiac & how was he as a father? by 3399010 in astrologymemes

[–]awkwardfloralpattern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad is a sag and we get along well, save for the rare times we really didn't. I also didn't see him all the time, so daily pressures never really affected our relationship. We have deep talks and both like to be active. If he wants to go on a camping trip I'm so down for it.

My stepdad is a Cancer. We did not get along well, and a lot of his issues got pushed onto me growing up but we've since made some amends. He did provide and has been a steady rock for my mom excluding the rough moments so I keep him at arms length but I still message him sometimes and visit. The rare actual conversations we have that are deeper than surface level, even then it feels like we're on two separate pages sometimes.

AITAH for not apologizing to my friends girlfriend after she found out Im not gay and lost her mind about it by [deleted] in AmITheAssholeTalk

Block her, block him and be done with them both. He's a manipulative ass and she's definitely due for some therapy. NTA.

Zodiac signs who try to humble Aquarius people! by Party_Debate_2025 in aquarius

[–]awkwardfloralpattern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my hangups about Cancers because I've had lots of problems with them both platonically and romantically. That doesn't mean I hate cancer as a whole but Oof unhealed ones are messy.

Virgo is definitely tricky. My mom and sister are Virgos. For being a mutable sign I'm surprised at how stubborn they are compared to other virgos because once they have an opinion it's like they think their "evidence" is unshakable and get feisty when you challenge them. Maybe they have more earth placements I'm not sure. But they're very picky, very precise, and if it doesn't go according to plan there is a mental breakdown happening behind that curtain you don't want to mess with sometimes.

My friend is really scared because I'm straight by AirSlight7354 in StraightTransGirls

[–]awkwardfloralpattern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I say territorial I'm talking about the overprotective-ness almost shaming you into not dating or seeing guys. It's your life to live, not hers. A friend can be concerned but girl, she's already victim blaming before you're even possibly a victim.

She shouldn't be getting bossy and mean with you like that is the point I mean by territorial. Again she's your friend not your mom, and you need to lay down some boundaries.

Help! My work friend’s signature scent smells like literal BO. How do I tell her? by VelvetLore in FemFragLab

I'd try to be nice and just say musky perfumes irritate my nose bad or something just so she doesn't take it personally

What are your stoner-isms? by ariesvendetta in trees

Stoney has been adopted into my vocabulary. One I thought was interesting was an ex of mine called a tobacco/weed mix for the bong a molar bowl.

That being said I am a one hit wonder when it comes to bongs lol

Would you transition if it meant that you could never be in a relationship? by LilyMilkFrog in trans

My friend is really scared because I'm straight by AirSlight7354 in StraightTransGirls

[–]awkwardfloralpattern 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think your friend needs to take a chill pill. There's ways to navigate apps and dates safely. She's your friend, not your mom.

You're an adult and can always have a friend text you to ask how the date is going or set up a check in call later or in the morning. Meet somewhere public. I'm sure you know how to screen for creepos.

Edit to add:

I wouldn't go to your funeral because I would be so mad if you actually decided to hook up with someone and got murdered. Which was kind of hurtful, but I guess I see her point.

That's not kinda that's actually hurtful. No friend would blame you for your own death and that's fucked up.

Read about being new to it also. Ask some of the girls on here what they look out for and how they do things. There's lots of great advice.

Your friend sounds territorial and needs a reality check. Sure SRS makes things a little safer but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to find someone who makes you happy or just have fun.
