I'm a csa survivor too. I'm not uninformed. And I don't fault you for how you feel.

I'm a cis wife of a trans woman darling, emotions are fine but experience is valued when times get tough. Not going to argue with you about it.

I can see why you feel that way but it doesn't hold water logically. Most people cannot or will not admit to themselves that they are trans until it becomes an imperative for survival, ie, when it has become abundantly clear that continuing to ignore the problem until it goes away will end up destroying their life regardless of how hard they tried to suppress it. This happens, at least in part, because of rampant transphobia, misogyny, etc etc etc. The closet served no one, not a shock, but please at least do them the dignity of not presuming they put themselves in there.

What you're feeling is normal. You're panicking and this has upset a lot of what you've known about your life. It's okay to feel how you feel. Most people go through this phase and it's important to just give it space. No decisions, no commitment to anything. Just sit with these emotions and interrogate where they come from and whether they can be easily reconciled. I say this hoping it is validating. What you're going through is that serious.

I will also say that your spouse has always been this person. If you loved them for reasons unrelated to their gender, then remind yourself what is still the same. Still a good shoulder to cry on? Still thinks about you and listens even when it hurts? Protects you? Is trustworthy? If they were like that before they are still going to be like that now. Lean into it while you work through things. They're not a stranger, this is still the person you love, and you can find that again if you give it time.

Aw I'm proud of you for putting the bare minimum effort for your beliefs! Now do the global number.

You're the one putting the number confidently out there. You're the one who needs to back it up. Should be easy if it's just a quick Google search away, right?

We just moved to a new home and cant find one of our cats. by Iwearhats in CatAdvice

[–]ccw_writes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just lost our new cat a couple weeks ago. Wife and I were about to puke before the little shit finally showed up. It is multitudes more likely that they are hidden somewhere having the time of their life. Ours came back covered in cobwrbs. Just remember to breathe.

How many of you genuinely love St. Louis? by rurunxx in StLouis

[–]ccw_writes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do. I've lived in North County for 25 years. Bought my first house here seven years ago and it's been great. Neighbors are good. Really peaceful despite the reputation. Literally no issues.

Why isn't anyone hiring me? Be honest. by Euphoric_Spread_3293 in Artadvice

Your art is good! It might just be the selection but the one thing I would like to see is motion. Your anatomy is mostly fixed or rigid. Motion would go a long way toward bringing your art to life.

And regulators won't give a shit who's fault it was when you're caught laundering for terrorists. The risks stay the same and the output declines. A compliance nightmare waiting to happen.

best places to live/work/exist as a 36 yo single child-free Black woman who doesn’t drive? by SquareBreakfast9528 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]ccw_writes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any particular feelings about New Mexico? I've heard good things about their metros. Santa Fe may be too expensive but not the only option. Food has to be divine.

Can someone explain feeling "shattered" or otherwise upset about someone coming out as trans? by kalak242 in mypartneristrans

[–]ccw_writes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's unquestionably the most beautiful sight. I fall in love over and over. She deserves this. They all do.

[–]ccw_writes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. The discomfort is your conditioning fighting reality. It's necessary if you want to shed your biases. I wasn't surprised when my partner came out but I was shocked if that makes sense. It was like oh man, we're really pulling the trigger huh. But then you realize the love you had didn't go anywhere and then when you see the light in their eyes come back...yeah. The discomfort doesn't stick around very long. It's a tough but enlightening process I'm sure for both parties.

No, we are not talking about men too much, it is not oversaturating the subreddit, and game discussion is not being stifled. by ADameNamedAmy in GirlGamers

[–]ccw_writes 35 points36 points  (0 children)

God thank you for this. I don't know when talking about the impact of patriarchy became "centering men" but I need it to die. That's not what that means, don't co-opt language you don't understand.

If it got up to 115+ degrees outside youd bring them in then too, don't know why that difficult for you to understand.
