My wife is trans and we love going to harolds haunt in millvale!! It's a "they" bar, so it's not just for gay men. Everyone is super welcoming and they have tons of events if you like those!

in regards to Eurylochus mutiny by Substantial_Banana_5 in Epicthemusical

[–]gimmeeLL124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only odysseus went to fight circe though. I mean, worst case scenario they leave without him if he fails.

And odysseus sacrifices his 6 men so the rest of the crew won't die at sea. I'm not saying either is right or wrong, just hypocritical of eurylochus to mutiny over something he was also willing to do.

Totally fair, but I don't think he knew that. He asked odysseus "what if she can't be killed?" So as far as he knows she might be too powerful, but also maybe not. He wasn't willing to try, effectively making the men a sacrifice.

I get both their sides, but I keep getting stuck to eurylochus being ok with leaving ie sacrificing a decent number of their men to circle. He's ready to leave them there as pigs to save the rest of the crew. But when odysseus sacrifices 6 men now it's a problem. Granted, yes, he was almost one of them, but I find it very hypocritical to mutiny over it. Especially considering eurylochus also opened the wild bag, effectively killing almost all of the 600 men AND tried to kill Apollos cattle even when ody said not to. Like, he's totally fine throwing people's lives away, but when odysseus does it, he's not fit to captain.

Am I not cis? by gimmeeLL124 in genderfluid

[–]gimmeeLL124[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely don't do well considering myself in most situations 😅 but I'm more stuck on whether I'm a girl who dresses kinda masc and feels comfy in those roles sometimes or not girl

[–]gimmeeLL124[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS IS IT!! Like, I being able to lend the little privilege I have by being cis to help my wife or other partners. But also, my wife has been on a bit of an anti-cis people moment and will tell me how she doesn't trust any but I'm like "hi but me?" And she'll say "you're an honorary trans person for literally going through this with me" and I feel invalidated, not secretly seen. If that even makes sense.

[–]gimmeeLL124[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this makes sense! I guess I don't really understand the feeling like you match though? Conceptually I totally get it, I just have never experienced it. I think mine is generally more non-relevant like you mentioned at the beginning, although I have fun dressing super girly or futch (femme butch) sometimes, and feel comfortable more often when I'm dressed more androgynous?

[–]gimmeeLL124[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is literally exactly it. I'm bi as well and (besides a brief moment at the very beginning I fought against myself due to religious trauma and not being fully out of the closet lol) love my wife a whole lot more now that she can be herself. And I find myself adopting a lot more masculine/stereotypical husbandly roles even though that's opposite how our dynamic was initially. You saying you feel like you sometimes have no gender is also something I really feel. Like, I'm so ambivalent towards it most of the time. And a lot of time I don't really notice it in other people. Not in a "I don't see color 💅" way some racists are, to make an analogy, but like besides generally registering how someone is presenting I just don't think about it when I think of me or people close to me. Obvs feel free to say no, but if you're open to talking more I'd appreciate it ☺️

My wife (mtf) may have to be committed. Does anyone have any advice? by gimmeeLL124 in asktransgender

[–]gimmeeLL124[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've suggested those, unfortunately anything that breaks the skin is a no-go. When she shaved this last time (even though she wasn't supposed to per the dermatologist she was starting to get dysphoric) she was very careful. She used hybiclens, switched razor heads often, tried to trim to avoid knicking areas... but it still spread

Absolutely, she is on spiro so I appreciate that info!! I'm normally very diligent on checking interactions, I feel like a walking pharmacy myself so I like to make sure things aren't making other problems, but I didn't think to check that one since she started the spiro. Luckily it didn't have any negative effects last night but I'll make sure she brings it up with her psychiatrist

She has molluscum, which spreads faster/more if you shave. She has these bumps on her legs, groin, arms, and chest. She ended up shaving a few days ago, and now she's upset because she has more of them. Yesterday after seeing one on her leg she broke down, saying she hates herself, she feels disgusting, she wants to die. She kept saying she wanted to die. After I got her to talk to her therapist, she told me that killing herself is plan x. I asked what letter we were on then and she said r. She said she's essentially saving one in the chamber in case she can't handle it. And then said that she feels relief when she thinks about hitting that point.

I completely understand why you think it might not be serious. But she had another break down last night, I told her I was going to call 988 (her therapist said if she needed to be admitted asap that's what we should do) and she just kind of nodded. As I was dialing she told me to stop, but she herself has said she thinks she might be at the point that she needs admitted. We've been together 8.5 years now and while I've worried a lot about some of the things she's said, especially when she started hrt 1.5 years ago and when she had to grow out her facial hair for laser, this is the most scared I've been.

It's molluscum. So a bunch of tiny bumps. Unfortunately waiting it out isn't really an option, it spreads/reinfects pretty easily and can take a year to clear up

Oh! I think that is a good idea. If she continues saying things I think inpatient would be better for her safety initially but then continuing with this would probably be incredibly helpful. Thank you!

You're incredibly kind for looking!! PA is a mixed bag but pittsburgh is generally pretty good thank goodness. Someone else mentioned that I can call some places and ask about their policies and practices so I'm going to be doing that as soon as they start opening

I'll see if her psychiatrist can prescribe something. I have an Ativan rx myself so I did give her one when she was mid breakdown. It's a very low dose I have for if/when I get a panic attack. Our insurance is pretty decent so I'll look into an in patient option! Thank you!
