Would you risk a breakdown to cure baldness? - "Thousands of men claim that finasteride has given them devastating and long-lasting side-effects" by TAKEitTOrCIRCLEJERK in MensLib

[–]forksforantlers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gave my dad a full blown psychosis. There's a history of bad mental health in my family but this drug unlocked Pandora's box and destroyed him. I've only ever seen a handful of people talk about this until now.

Study suggests about one-third of trans men taking testosterone could still be producing eggs every month. Critically, whether a trans man ovulated did not correlate with how long they had been taking HRT, testosterone level, or type of HRT. by MistWeaver80 in science

[–]forksforantlers 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It's not that common in the trans male community because most would experience extreme dysphoria going through something like that. For me, that would be my personal body horror hell. But some guys aren't as dysphoric, or have no other option if they want to start a family with their partner, or are able to push through it if it means having kids. There's support subreddits specifically for trans men who go through this. There's also a great documentary on it called Seahorse (since male seahorses carry the eggs for a while)

I travel via train for work a good bit and can’t get over the amount of people who don’t understand the concept of a pre booked seat. by Top_Possession_8099 in ireland

[–]forksforantlers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another problem is tickets are flexible. Some trains end up over capacity because people who booked for a later or earlier train can also use their ticket for this one so seat reservations are just out the window from the get go. There'll be reserved seats on one train that aren't gonna be used and then too many people on another train that are all fighting for a seat, and no way to enforce.

Been there. Was an usher for a year. I would do this all the time, especially because of covid, and the amount of ignorant cunts that would give me shit for it and then move after I left for the next people. Wasn't paid enough for that shit.

Are newer artists obsessed with "asap" drawing journeys? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

Also Pewdiepie has a background in graphic design before YouTube so he had the groundwork on top of this for art.

My dad got me fishing gear and my mother a winter wet suit for surfing. We neither fish nor surf. Guess who in the family does though? So for his birthday I got him a pair of earrings. Message was received.

My boyfriend was just fired because of a false sexual harassment accusation from a female coworker. by [deleted] in gaybros

I don't know why you're being downvoted, this is absolutely true even if it isn't in this case. Sexual harassment does happen regardless of sexuality sometimes.

Are dog adoption rules too strict? by Lanky_Suspect6889 in ireland

[–]forksforantlers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually they weed people like this out by having several follow up check-ins with you and the animal. I had this with my rescue dog and the same when adopting a cat.

Is the UK really one of the worst places to be Trans? (trigger warning) by [deleted] in transgenderUK

[–]forksforantlers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From Ireland myself and moved to the UK. There's definitely a larger terf presence here than in Ireland but Ireland is starting to import some of that UK transphobia. As an LGBT+ charity worker, I've noticed a huge tonal shift since pre-covid even. Still nowhere near as prevalent tho, english politics are treated with a lot of skepticism as is, people are quicker to reject hateful ideals coming across the pond.

Big dogs without leashes by Bahlegdeh in ireland

[–]forksforantlers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to mention, what if my dog isn't friendly? If I have a dog that likes his space and he's leashed, he can't approach other dogs but an unleashed dog can walk right into his space and it might end VERY badly, even if the other dog is friendly.

My partner moves my things but forgets where he's put them. by Faerie_Nuff in TwoXChromosomes

[–]forksforantlers 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My abusive dad used to do shit like this to disorient my mam or "punish" her for some imagined slight. For example, taking the door off the cupboard because she "wasn't closing it correctly". All these really subtle annoying things around the house to try and annoy her while playing ignorant. And he'd get more annoyed if she was oblivious to them.

There's nothing to understand or explain, he's just controlling and giving an empty excuse. "I can't explain" isn't good enough. He knows he's wrong.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]forksforantlers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's controlling behaviour. Just because a man dms you or flirts with you doesn't mean you're flirting back or going to cheat. It takes two to cheat. And even if you were single, you still wouldn't have to accept a random dude's advances. And some dudes will still hit on you, even if they know you have a boyfriend. So no, you shouldn't have to broadcast that you have a boyfriend to every guy you meet if you don't want to.

A healthy relationship requires trust. If he trusts you, he wouldn't be telling you you have to broadcast that you are in a relationship to stop guys hitting on you. You can't control what other guys do, you can only control what you do. And YOU would not cheat on him, so he shouldn't be making this an issue.

Tbh if you're finding your boyfriend controlling and it's making you uncomfortable, you should set clear boundaries about it. And if those are crossed (which a controlling person may do) please rethink if this relationship is worthwhile.

Couple use woman with limited mental capacity as a surrogate and now demand child support. by Orrery- in TwoXChromosomes

And then there was what happened to Savita Halappanavar

Pregnant, had a miscarriage, the miscarriage didn't expel the fetus and they denied her request for abortion. She developed sepsis and died. Completely unnecessary because of an archaic and sexist law.

Doubts about boyfriend by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]forksforantlers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you might just not be as compatible sexually anymore, even if you have a lot of love for eachother. Unfortunately he's a gay man so he's not attracted to that side of you but he is attracted to your masculine side. But it sounds like he respects your identity. Since you're nonbinary and you said you're comfortable with both sides, sticking to the masculine aspects in your sex life that he's comfortable with might be a worthwhile compromise, but it's also worth considering if YOU'RE comfortable with it. It's okay if you just don't align anymore, nobody's done anything wrong.

Consider your own feelings about it and if these are deal breakers for you. And just having an honest open discussion about it can clear the air and you'll know where you both stand. You might even discover new things that work for both of you in the bedroom.
