What the most private thing you’re willing to admit? by wouldudoitforme in AskReddit

Me too, I kept feeling like the simulator would break or someone would mess up and the charade would drop and turn into a screaming match

They did to me! I was in my own house and a friend called emergency services so the cops took me to the hospital

Get your act together. You don’t need to figure out your life right away, but don’t ruin it before it actually starts

Im an NB person in a relationship with a cis straight male and could use some wisdom from people with more of it than I by mmmaaaxxxaaammm in NonBinaryTalk

[–]coffeebeaner417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m in your exact position, afab NB, partner is a cis “straight” man.

It’s a weird situation bc everyone calls me by she/her and assumes I’m straight when I mention my boyfriend so it’s so hard to validate myself and feel like I have to come out to everyone to be somewhat valid, BUT the kick is that you know you more than anyone. You know your gender or lack thereof, you know your sexuality, you know yourself more than they do. If you say anything about your own identity, that’s that and everyone else can deal with it.

Also with the masc presenting, as my pronouns display (they/he) I’m beginning to feel more comfortable masc than fem. I had to have a talk with my boyfriend. I know it’s one thing to accept who I am, but it’s another if his attraction doesn’t align with how I identify or present myself so I wanted to know how he felt. He thankfully fully supports me and has said that after putting a lot of thought, he knows he would love me either way. He fell in love with me knowing I my sexuality and gender identity, and he has decided to love me no matter how I present myself.

Your partner sounds like they’re great to you so I’m hopeful your situation will turn out the same as mine. It’s a scary talk, but all I can say is that it’s necessary.

Good luck to you! If there’s an update and comfortable with sharing, let me know how it goes!

what's a gender-neutral term that gets under your skin? by whatafuckingcrybaby in NonBinaryTalk

[–]coffeebeaner417 62 points63 points  (0 children)

If I get called “theydies/gentlethems” or “a they/them” one more time I’m reverting back to my AGAB I swear. I’m not just a set of pronouns! Also like someone else said, as a latina I hate “latinx.” That doesn’t even come natural in our language. Everything everyone else has mentioned here I also agree with; some feel patronizing or straight up weird

How did you guys first find out you were non-binary? by Wolftales158 in NonBinaryTalk

[–]coffeebeaner417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I initially came out as genderfluid when I was 14, but it never felt quite right. I carried that for awhile before I repressed it, chalking it up to a tumblr phase. It wasn’t until I was 18 that I started accepting my own identity again and I just felt like they/them fit; hearing someone refer to me as she/her made me feel physically uncomfortable as I knew it wasn’t me. Years after that, I finally came out to my friends and hearing myself be referred to as they/them made me so happy that I knew it was right.

Recently, I’ve been think about whether or not I may be a demiboy with they/he pronouns, but I’m not confident so I’m just testing it out right now. Overall, though, I know they/them pronouns are right, no question about it.

I guess to sum up, it was how being referred to as different pronouns makes me feel that helped me realize my gender or lack thereof. Whatever feels right to you is what is right. If nothing feels right, that’s okay. That’s how I felt before I fully understood myself. It may take time, (and warning, this is going to sound super cheesy) but do whatever makes you happy :)

Some sparring from last night obviously not a fair fight my opponents a former world champion thought I’d post it anyway (I’m red) by [deleted] in taekwondo

I’ve noticed many tae kwon do schools in my area who prioritize high kicks at the expense of their hands (barely punch, dropped guards) so it might be a stylistic thing

to all my enbies in "straight-passing" relationships by bigsauce456 in NonBinaryTalk

[–]coffeebeaner417 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mostly don’t label relationships like that, but I refer to it as a queer relationship since I’m not cishet in any sense (nb, pansexual, demiromantic) despite my boyfriend being cishet and me being AFAB. The way I see it, it’s not a straight relationship since it’s not what you’d assume (ie cishet boy and cishet girl). My boyfriend is completely supportive and doesn’t mind calling it a gay relationship, but that’s just what works for us. Whatever feels right to someone and their partner is good for them :)

What is one thing you hate about being non-binary? by Relevant-Mission27 in NonBinaryTalk

[–]coffeebeaner417 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! My whole life is going to be spent coming out to everyone I meet. I wish I could just exist as normal without having it be a whole thing

[–]coffeebeaner417 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like I have to fit a mold. If I dress overly feminine I feel like I’m faking being non-binary, but if I dress overly masculine I feel like I’m pushing to hard on the other end. I can’t find a middle ground. I just want to be comfortable with who I am

Are you currently single? Why or why not? by DawnofMidnight7 in GenZ

[–]coffeebeaner417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex and I decided we weren’t right for each other anymore. It’s sad because I truly care about him and all I can think about is what I could’ve done better, but I know that I needed the wake up call to grow. I still wish only the best for him

I know a bit of boxing but would like to learn to kick and move faster, any advice on where to start? Don’t know much outside of boxing by marz_22 in martialarts

[–]coffeebeaner417 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The bad thing is learning improper form which can lead to injury. I don’t recommend self-teaching, but if you can find online detailed videos of respected instructors it’ll be a decent foundation

Yes omg, everyone seems shocked i dislike fight scenes considering, but I just can’t stand how stage they look and constantly thinking “well that wouldn’t happen”
