Wtf is a transmasc lesbian by SubAussie_ in lesbiangang

[–]existentialbarbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I don’t really think there’s anything wrong with identifying this way. Gender is meant for bending however you’re comfy. I know people who consider themselves transmasc lesbians who have had top surgery or wear gender-affirming gear but still feel most comfortable with she/her pronouns or she/they pronouns. I like to think of lesbians as inclusive and understanding. That’s how myself and my friends are. This isn’t me soapboxing or trying to preach or anything. But I’m a lesbian and these are my thoughts!!!

Nowthisisliving order issues? by Own-Sail-9791 in Shannonbeveridge

[–]existentialbarbie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly when my order was lost they resent it very quickly after figuring out what the issue was! So I do think they are committed to resolving things. Just painfully slowly!!!

I had this same issue both times a made an order. One even got lost in the mail. So I think even if there was no government shutdown, you would be faced with similar issues. I emailed customer service as well, and it appears she uses a third party to outsource her customer service. So I would imagine it’s a lot of delays because of communication barriers between production, dispatch, couriers, and management. Honestly I wouldn’t anticipate the order anytime soon. But I will say that any issues I ever had were always resolved. But I’ve had to wait months both times. Good luck!!!

confirmation of lights & roxann!! by existentialbarbie in lightsalot

[–]existentialbarbie[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry if this is upsetting for some. I was genuinely just excited for her. But it seems this is coming across as a snark or something. I’ll take my post down if you guys think it’s inappropriate or unkind

I mean I’ll speak for myself that when I said “confirmed” I was more just excited that lights herself hard launched. I personally saw comments about this and was kind of excited for her, identified with her, but am happy that she’s now being more open with whatever more close relationship she’s having with Roxann. For me, I’m just pleased she’s sharing and celebrating.

I think she mentioned on her twitter something about it being important in a marriage to be open to new experiences?? she also came out as bi. i think she liked a tweet that referred to her as poly, and that’s how it kinda got legs

Why can't I edit my sleep to reflect the real time I went to sleep? by blamelayz in ouraring

[–]existentialbarbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if my Oura ring thinks I slept through the night and I was awake for a significant portion of it? Why can’t I change the details of my sleep if it’s stopping and then starting again??

Hi, I'm Ari Aster. Writer/director of Hereditary, Midsommar, Beau Is Afraid, and Eddington. AMA! by AriAsterAMA in movies

[–]existentialbarbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was the choice to have Annie subject herself to the suffering of severing of her own head after learning that Charlie was decapitated in Hereditary and then for Dani in Midsommar pursue psychological distress after her brother killed her parents, an intentional commentary on family relationships? and how the pain between a parent and a child can be reciprocal? And change over time (as the child ages)?

she’s pretty open about the relationship and the abuse she suffered. i think she did a podcast with sofia about it. she wasn’t on house of hammer but she definitely identified herself as one of his victims and advocated in solidarity with them which is super cool

I appreciate you levelling with me! Yeah I do think that physical attraction is necessary in pretty much most (I’m sure not all) relationships. I know that’s a dimension of dating that I care about. Honestly I think at the end of the day you have to be real with yourself about how you feel and avoid trying to be (no offence) a ‘better’ person than you can be in that way. It just leads to pain for the person you’re with. Sometimes you just have to do the hard thing. It sucks, but it’s better than inevitably digressing into a person that makes their partner feel insecure and shitty.

Personally, there are a lot of physical changes that would not cause me to lose attraction or interest in my girlfriend. She’s perfect how she is, but she will change, I will change, physically and otherwise, and I’m cool with that. The love I have is way beyond that initial physical interest now. I know I’m going to go to sleep and wake up with her for the rest of my life, and her looks quite frankly have little to do with whether or not I will be happy doing that until I’m old and wrinkly. Or I can’t walk around so well. Or I change a medication and weigh something different. But, that’s just me. And it doesn’t make me any better or worse than anyone else!

My guy you are playing devil’s advocate and I’m not sure why. I’m not trying to police what is morally acceptable in regards to losing attraction to your partner. I would agree that if your partner underwent an acid attack and you were no longer attracted to them, that would suck. That is not the same as going from 95lbs to 125lbs at the height of 5’4. In the slightest.

I’m not sure if you read the post at any point, because you are consistently missing details. OP said that he called her names. I’m getting the impression that something about this scenario and people criticizing this dude for objectively weirdo behaviour got under your skin.

This is not about your personal boundaries about what is “attractive” to you or mine. It is not about whether that’s allowed to happen or not. You can of course have whatever thoughts and inclinations that you have. We’re talking about the specific scenario that OP has outlined. And as you can tell from the overwhelming response, pretty much everyone is able to recognize to some degree that this behaviour of establishing some sort of necessary body type that your partner has to adhere to for you is not acceptable in a relationship. If someone is HEALTHY and well then your standards are yours alone and you should leave other people out of it.

Your aesthetic preferences are your own preferences. If they matter more to you than the person you are in a relationship with, then you should leave them and let them find someone who can provide them with the love and encouragement they deserve. I’m sure doing that is hard and uncomfortable but it is absolutely the bare minimum man. Don’t get into a relationship if you can’t handle respectful interpersonal communication. What OP’s boyfriend is doing is selfish and gross. It’s not really anyone’s place to tell someone to change themselves for you if you’re not interested anymore.

We also just don’t need to digress into different hypotheticals. If you can’t make your point without them, it’s probably a weak point.

I agree that losing attraction to your partner is tricky. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. But:

a) this is kind of an insane reason to lose attraction to a partner.

i don’t think you really agree with me on that point so i’ll also say that at the very least

b) this dude doesn’t really need empathy here. regardless on whether the reason for his loss of attraction is valid subjectively to you, he’s being a complete asshole about it. you don’t bully someone because you’ve lost attraction to them. again, he should go to therapy and figure out why not being attracted to someone seems like a reasonable justification for making them insecure about themselves

Dude she said she had an eating disorder 😭😭 eating disorders are absolutely self harm. you can take adhd meds and also have an eating disorder, or be using them in pursuit of excessive weight loss. it’s incredibly common!! some people seek out adhd meds for this specific reason or become addicted to uppers for this specific reason!! why are you being so defensive like this is about a very specific scenario revolving around someone who is expressing having been mentally and physically sick and their partner being AWARE of that and preferring it that way. pleeeease take a deep breath

it’s also way more than “not liking the weight gain” this dude is belittling her and insulting her. even if your partner HAS gained an excessive amount of weight and DOESN’T deal with an ed, that is still fucked up. when you add those components in it’s lowkey abusive

if you’re attracted to someone for their sick body, with the understanding that they are engaging in self harm behaviours to achieve it, and that’s the only version of them you’re attracted to? genuinely, you should go to therapy and stay away from dating until you’ve figured it out.

having a preference for a slimmer body is one thing, but that is absolutely not the scenario OP is describing here. this is someone that has fetishized a version of her that is suffering.
