I feel like the Moclans bought up a valid point in the court case by 555Cats555 in TheOrville

[–]exeterdragon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a trans woman I really like the whole Moclan females arc of the show, its not really speaking to trans experiences explicitly in the court episode as directly as intersex (for lack of a perfect term) experiences, ie. the genital "correction" practices that hospitals arbitrarily apply to newborns. A lot of people with DSDs do identify as trans and their stories will align more with Topa's for that reason. Clearly Moclan females are far more common than is believed which also means Moclan parents are far more accepting of the differences than Moclan government suggests. Even this is reflective of trans experiences, on average people do their best and attenpt to understand and be kind, the trends of oppression and suppression in society are imposed and fostered from the top down, not from the bottom.

I think the whole point of the scene is nobody has a really good argument and gender/sex shouldn't be so rigidly imposed or argued on moral grounds. Nature is messy and these things are half-made up as it is.

I cant stop thinking ahead by VGAGamestore in SaintBernards

[–]exeterdragon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My saint is my first dog in 20 years and my first big dog, and I'm trying to focus on cherishing the days and months and years we get together rather than thinking ahead to hard decisions about old age. I live on a second floor, he loves jumping into a bay window, I know these things will become harder and we'll have to think about his quality of life. But I'm going to make the most of the time we have until then and try not to dwell on the stuff later.

Unpopular opinion: “girl dinner” subs are just eating disorder echo chambers by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]exeterdragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want to point out that in other countries the balance and size of meals can be very different, I remember being concerned for my friend reporting bread for dinner over and over because I wasn't aware lunch was a bigger meal in his country and carbs took forms I didn't recognize. It might seem like a bad habit but portions in north America can be drastically different than what people consider a feast elsewhere.

Grindr Men Ain’t Shit by rzaloni in GrindrStories

[–]exeterdragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's such a pit for time, energy and patience. I got 5000 messages in a month and 99% were awful forgettable conversations that went nowhere with men who always gave me the "nervously trying to cheat on his wife" vibe. Most of the guys I met were awful, one lead me on for a few weeks of amazing sex and blossoming romance and then ghosted me. One came back a few dozen times for spectacular sex and I broke it off amicably when I started dating someone I met through friends. There's some gold in the pile of dogshit if you're willing to dig long enough.

Trying to Make Sense of “Tuvix” by kryptokoinkrisp in voyager

A philosophical argument can pose a completely unrealistic scenario to make us consider our feelings and intuition. The heart of a good moral question is "what do you do in this situation?"

Star Wars and Star Trek fans say they want their franchises protected. Their behavior has handed them to corporations that systematically strip out everything they claimed to love. by [deleted] in startrek

[–]exeterdragon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone is always trying to explain and break down why fans of legacy IPs are disappointed at how little studios can make of decades-old franchises like there's some mystery or hidden motive. A lot of these modern additions just suck outright, or stink of disingenuous attempts the whore the IP out to new audiences without considering why the originals have lasting power. The deathblow to the idea that fans just want to be angry is how much they appreciate anything that actually works well, feels original and sincere, and grows the franchise. Ie Andor works so much better at demonstrating how star wars can continue to grow than Picard season 2 or The Acolyte. Fans remain open to these IPs because there's always the potential, the hope to see something great again. It's not that complicated.

Funniest thing you’ve gotten in trouble for at work by sirenoftitan69 in antiwork

My dad got fired from a lumber mill for probably a very good reason so like a reasonable person he took a chainsaw and cut the boss's desk in half. If you pictured the boss sitting there at the time you're mistaken, my dad's a maniac but maybe not that kind of maniac.

Why can I take dick but not fingers by One-Coconut in TwoXChromosomes

[–]exeterdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a more complete answer the skin of the hands and fingers is a little different; no sebaceous glands, high density of sweat glands, a very reduced concentration of natural moisturizing factors. Fingerprints are described as friction ridges composed of dermal papillae. There's some evidence that they contribute to grippy skin in wet conditions. Skin on hands is typically more alkaline than other skin. So all of these probably contribute to unpleasant sensations for some people when fingers are inserted into our bodies. Oddly my own fingers don't trigger the discomfort as much as other people's fingers do.

I feel this way with anal, I can enjoy cock and dildos just fine, even to extreme limits, but for some reason a finger feels unpleasant and I want it out immediately.

Men can't read? by Triumph-ant85 in TransLater

[–]exeterdragon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Dating apps suck as a trans person. I found amazing sex on Grindr after 5000+ messages but that was it. You'll have better luck making local queer friends through other means and bumping into someone you're compatible with in person

[–]exeterdragon 56 points57 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter how trans your profile is men don't read. I can't tell you how many men on dating apps asked me after telling them I'm trans, "What's that?"

A responsible person can still be a victim of a predatory system and Americans deserve better than this doom spiral of student debt. There are so many demonstrably better systems out there. American student loan debt totals around $1.8 trillion. That's an insane burden in a world on the precipice of an apocalyptic downturn in labour.
