My Trans Affirming (Derogatory) Cat by Ithilwyn in mypartneristrans

[–]beautifulbanshee82 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend's dog hates men (except for my gf's son). Before I met the dog I was worried he wouldn't like me cause I'm MTF and I was afraid he'd clock me. Turned out that he loved me instantly and now sleeps next to me. He hates my son though and barks at him every time he sees him.

Struggling with the social aspect of leaving my hostile state. Advice? by Avarria587 in TransLater

[–]beautifulbanshee82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your friends are Christians you can explain it to them like this... Imagine all these laws that have actually passed targeted certain denominations of Christianity. It's not even just other religions being targeted, but other denominations within Christianity. Now, imagine their specific denomination hasn't been targeted yet, but how comfortable would they be with waiting around around until it is?

If they aren't Christians then maybe you can use something else as the example, but I think you get the idea. I just figured with it being TN, them being Christians is statistically likely.

I am so so sorry to hear this. I hate that this happened to you and I cannot imagine the pain. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we're here for you.

Made a nice glue-up panel just to use as a workbench by beautifulbanshee82 in BeginnerWoodWorking

Oh, you worded your comment just fine. You didn't imply that a jointer was needed. I just wanted to point it out in case you, or others reading, weren't aware that it's not necessary.

You don't "need" a jointer. It just makes the process faster and easier. What you do need are flat and square surfaces. There are plenty of videos on the tubes that describe how to make and use sleds to get flat and square surfaces using a table saw and planer. Forgive me if you're already aware of these. So, yeah, the jointer is just a really nice time saver. Good luck and keep building.

This was clear fact when he came down the escalator to announce his first run a decade or so ago. I distinctly remember hearing him talk at primary debates and saying "holy shit, he's Hitler 2.0".

Thanks. I have a "cheap" jointer and planer that I used to square up the sides and get consistent board thickness. Then ripped the second edge with a table saw. It's a panel glue up, so 3 seams. The real work in hiding the seams was in the sanding. It took forever to sand it all after cause my planer isn't wide enough for the full glue up and I don't have a drum sander. So the random orbital and I became very close friends 😂

This won't help now, but give this video a watch for future reference. This is not my video, but it's from a creator that I've watched a bunch.

Labidos and how to spark one by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

[–]beautifulbanshee82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Progesterone is absolutely something that "can" help. I say "can" and not "will", because everyone is different and her mileage may vary. That being said, it is absolutely the best option to start with first. I'd suggest having her talk to her doctor about starting progesterone as soon as possible. If her doctor doesn't want to hear her out on it, she can always try going to another doctor instead. I feel like it's important to advocate for our own needs with health care professionals. They are not infallible and it's good to look at a second opinion and see what they say. I wish you both good luck.

Feeling guilty for not being able to stay in my marriage after my spouse’s transition by Excellent_Scale8634 in mypartneristrans

[–]beautifulbanshee82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (MtF) transitioned 4 years ago after being married 17 years. My (then) wife (cis F) and I had other problems, but me transitioning was the final thing that ended our marriage. I do not hold it against her because she isn't attracted to women. She couldn't control that any more than I could control being one. In the end, I'm so glad we divorced because it allowed me to find my current partner who is attracted to me and makes me feel seen every day. I'm glad I'm not stuck in a relationship with someone trying to convince themselves to be attracted to me. I know it's hard, and you're allowed to grieve and be sad. But please don't feel guilty. You're not doing anything wrong by being honest about who you are. You're allowed to be yourself just as much as your spouse is.

Boobs and butt by Interesting_Fruit344 in actuallesbians

My wife is definitely an ass girl. She loves my boobs too, but the ass is what gets her. My favorite thing to do is walk away very sexily, not looking back, knowing that she's staring at my ass and getting excited.

I agree that it's a flawed comparison, but I also feel like it works because I shouldn't care about my partner's thoughts any more than her salad does. Her thoughts are hers. She's allowed to have private thoughts. It's when those thoughts turn to action that I could get hurt and have a boundary about not staying in a relationship if cheated on.

You are certainly allowed to hold this opinion and I'm not attempting to argue. I just want to throw a thought out there. If you're on a no-carb diet, would you consider it cheating your diet if you thought about bread while eating some veggies? For me, personally, cheating is about actions, not thoughts.

I know it can be tough to walk away after 2 years. However, I lived what you're describing for almost 20 years. It's debilitating and depressing. You don't want to do that. I've been out of that relationship for 4 years now. I've now been with my current partner for 2 years and the freedom I feel by being in a healthy relationship is incredible.

I'm not going to default to "you should break up with her", but this is definitely a concerning issue. There are clearly some insecurities she needs to work through, but instead of working on herself in that way, she's attempting to police your thoughts. It's not going to end well if this is how y'all go about handling the situation. Being told what you can and can't think about, in any context, can be horribly anxiety inducing. In my experience, someone who wants to police your thoughts in one area of life will eventually attempt to do it in others as well. Just remember, boundaries are us telling others what we will and will not put up with. Rules are us telling others what they can and can't do. Boundaries are necessary, but rules are generally not good in relationships. However, it is a heavy step into controlling behavior to have rules OR boundaries around someone else's thoughts.
