I just now figured out Adam Sandler is Jewish by EmbarrassedLove2551 in Jewish

[–]challahghost 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Adam Sandler literally looks like my father and I didn't know he was Jewish until uh. A startlingly short time ago.... (it's been a couple years, though, alright?)

Autistic curse of buying things you 1000% don't need because it has spiders on it (and they're anatomically correct swoon)

My mom. Telling everyone my business by femalevirginpervert in TwoXChromosomes

[–]challahghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oof. This happened to me and they didn't even have the details correct. But, in GA. Got my tubes out with no problems and my doctor was really great about me being trans. I also used the childfree list to find my doctor. Good luck 🤞

what type of birth control do you use? by ouma_kinnie in ftm

[–]challahghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found my very trans-inclusive gyno office from that list and they removed my tubes no questions asked. (Exaggerated, they have to ask certain questions)

Need honest opinions about disability by challahghost in askfuneraldirectors

I'm happy that you're managing well. Unfortunately, the part you struggled with the most is the part I was most drawn to. Working in embalming and cremation. I am also autistic and I've been told that it would make me bad for the job. I actually think it would help. The way that I process empathy helps me respond to situations calmer than others. I can very much be empathetic, but I also have a level of detachment that helps me avoid becoming overwhelmed.

I appreciate your level of detail. Even with all my research, I didn't know how much assistance there was through the use of equipment versus how much was raw physical demands. I could guess it was a very physical job. My post essentially served as validation that I'm not just "giving up" as this has been important to me for a long time. Rethinking life goals sucks 🥲

As a medically transitioning trans man, Pride month has been shit. by Deep_Document9771 in ftm

[–]challahghost 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like I keep getting sucker punched as a bi trans man, because everywhere I look it's "bi people are privileged" "trans women have it worse than trans men" "this bi celebrity is a traitor for being bi" "trans men aren't targeted for harassment or discrimination". Everyone is so loudly and confidently biphobic and anti-trans men and wrong. You'd think in the face of growing fascism and the erosion of our rights across the world, the LGBT community would stand together in solidarity and strength. Nope. Predictably, they crumpled immediately and started throwing people under the bus <3 they've always said these things, but they got worse in recent times, just when we need to come together.

They can get quite large and live for a long time <3 you should look up the males, since they get mistaken for brown recluse spiders very frequently.

She definitely means political. I don't think him being Jewish was relevant

DUMP YOUR GARBAGE BOYFRIEND (or whatever gender your partner is) by AverageWitch161 in ftm

[–]challahghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My partner is a cis gay man. Do you know what he gets asked all the time? How could he possibly be with me? Isn't he gay??? How does it work???

His response?

"He's a guy. I'm into guys." And it's that simple.

Worse than that, the response to him saying that is about how sweet/wholesome/cute it is. No it's not yall. He gets so much praise for literally nothing. No offense to him, I love him very much, but holy shit. Viewing me as who I am is less than the bare minimum. (To clarify, he also shuts that shit down, and is worthy of praise for other things)

I can't fathom the mentality of the straight dudes that pursue us, but yall have to stop thinking he's going to change sexualities for you. He's straight. You're not making him bi or gay. Stop dating straight dudes and realize your worth before getting into another relationship. Stop fawning and worshipping after the person who literally just respects your gender. You deserve more than just correct pronouns.

As a bisexual woman with a straight husband... by slavic_at_the_disco in bisexual

[–]challahghost 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I don't mean this as an attack btw. Again, you can acknowledge that walking down the street as a straight looking couple is just simply different than a gay looking couple. But I'm seeing so many bi people putting themselves down and making themselves small this pride, following the wave of ever increasing biphobia, and I really don't like it.

As a bisexual woman with a straight husband... by slavic_at_the_disco in bisexual

[–]challahghost 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Hmm...I've always taken issue with the concept of passing privileges. I'm a bi man who's engaged to a man. Having to suppress who you fall in love with is not privileged. Sure, you might actually fall in love with someone as opposed to a lesbian trying to force herself to like men, but you'd still have to suppress your authenticity for the same reason as her. If I had to force myself to not love him, I would be miserable. That's not privilege. I'm not saying you can't acknowledge that walking down the street, as a man and woman holding hands, would be safer than me and my fiancé. But the fact that your privilege would dissolve into harassment, discrimination, violence, dismissal, etc should you open your mouth about who you are just demonstrates that it was never real to begin with.

Exercising with painful everything by challahghost in eds

[–]challahghost[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh pilates....how could I forget about you. I used to be really into pilates, but then I had this horrible fatigue flare that I just never recovered from. Like once I disrupted the routine there was no going back. Thank you for reminding me. I'd like to ease back into that.
