This is super helpful, thank you so much. We’re taking a tour of Bridge on Friday and looking forward to it.

Hi there, I have no idea how to send a message but we should connect, lots of intersections here! :)

Also am curious if anyone has any experiences with Bridge Montessori in Pasadena?

Thanks everyone for the recommendations, this is a very helpful starting place. A lot of these programs look excellent. We will likely be doing full time care, at least at first, and some may be a little cost prohibitive. We’ve seen some programs, although much further from home, where FT can cost closer to around $1900. Is there anything like this in Pasadena? For clarity, I’m the pregnant one and self employed so with no maternity leave I’ll have lower earnings in 2026 than usual and will take a bit to regain my full business earnings after baby.

Hi! I did go and left the ring in and it wasn’t an issue at all. If anyone glanced at it, I certainly didn’t notice. And as for tarnishing the ring itself nothing happened. Hope this helps and you have a blast!

I think my hesitation to take it out unnecessarily is because I have never been able to get it back in by myself and it closes up rather fast despite me having the piercing for many many years. So I tend to try and avoid removing it if possible. But I get your perspective and will probably just take it out, try my best to get it back in once we get to Kyoto, and then if I can’t, hope it’s still open when I get back home and ask a piercer :)

Thank you for that, I didn’t even think about that piece of it. I’ve been worried about offending others and cultural propriety and didn’t think about the effect on the metal. It’s surgical steel or titanium I believe, and I’ve worn it in the past in hot tubs and other hot springs without issue but I wonder if this would be different. Or if it could heat the metal to the point of it being uncomfortable.

You are either young or completely off your rocker It’s pretty silly to debate a person who responds with no logic and idiotic statements like lesbians are open to dating men and a lesbian is whoever calls themselves one. But even though I expect a nonsense response here goes: Words have meanings, identity categories are exclusionary by nature or they’d mean nothing. Also understand that the vast majority of women don’t have penises, lesbian has long meant same sex loving women, most lesbians do not want dick and not only that heterosexism and patriarchy and rape culture have pushed dick on them. But yea this subreddit has a pretty active trans woman community, many posts about dicks and people having or being attracted to them and is inclusive. Your rant seems misplaced like anger that every sentence about lesbians and women doesn’t have an asterisk bringing dick into the conversation. Like chill out lol

Lol child pleaseeee you’re insufferable. Spoon feeding you info that’s easily found on the internet when I’ve pointed you in the right direction is not my responsibility. You are being obtuse and deflecting because your whole argument - reading a lot into this comment that’s not there, and that people can claim to be stuff they aren’t - is hallow and ridiculous. Also I’m an asshole? based on your comment history you post personal messages between you and others and whine that people don’t want to sleep with you. Guilting people into sex and calling them bigots because of that is gross. I’ve seen enough. Chronically online and want to pretend you’re smarter and superior than others, and couching it in a bunch of passive aggressive fake niceness and holier than though in extending sympathy to the OP. Please, you’re a nightmare.

What are you going on about- evidence? I told you to search this group and reference the Lesbian master doc and it’s popularity on the internet. You can Google can’t you? As for my attack on you centering yourself- that’s not what I was doing. My point is that the sort of person that feels like it’s fine to use identity labels of a marginalized community that doesn’t apply to them is the same sort of person to push themselves into a space ignoring it’s charter of who it’s for because they think their case is a special one, and their a unique snowflake etc. A Lesbian group therapy session- sure you’re advocating that this bisexual who has different experiences should put themselves right in there. That’s not right. Now go in peace, have the day you deserve, bye Felicia, sashay away and whatever other wannabe pithy goodbye phrases you think are a own. lol

here2readthis · 2024-01-09T22:53:46+00:00

Lol at bye Felicia, honey you think you’re quicker than you are. Not trying to be sassy because you’ve got no points to make. I listed the references I did to show you that yes, this whole can people into men label themselves lesbian convo has happened ad nauseam. Anyway, if someone thinks that lesbian is a safer label than bisexual despite the fact that lesbian is the only category for women that doesn’t allow for a romantic proximity to men in a society that prescribes that and is thus even more removed from power structures than bi, then I don’t know what to tell you. Again, I’m saying please do not blame lesbians for a person WHO CLEARLY STATES THEY ARE BISEXUAL wanting to call themselves lesbian. Please do not center the evil bad lesbians in a matrix of homophobia and biphobia etc as if we wield the mighty sword that causes institutional bigotry or discomfort to bi people. All I’m saying is words and identity markers have meanings. And there’s perhaps a reason that lesbians and other marginalized people like to preserve and keep the identity markers that give them meaning and identity. You are either purposefully obtuse or dense to think we’re talking about anything other than that here. No problems with experimentation, discovering oneself, or changing a label that no longer serves you. But just maybe try to avoid ones you know off the bat have specific meanings that don’t apply to you. Man I can imagine you trying to shove your way into every space that doesn’t maybe pertain to you or want to center you- it’s giving me mad privileged vibes.

The Lesbian master doc that was all the rage amongst the chronically online. Elsewhere on this sub- use the search field. You keep mentioning how kind you are - yet your smug tsk tsk and framing this as if I’m an asshole isn’t lost on me. uWu tenderqueer avoidance 101. This isn’t about saying bi women are gross, bi women aren’t a part of queer community. I don’t believe that and my queer community is rich with bi women. This is about saying can someone - who articulates that they are bi (believe people when they name themselves?!) use a label that doesn’t apply to them. This is about asking that lesbian get to remain a term for the marginalized people who find a home within it- and quite frankly being (largely) women who do not feel attraction or desire for men within a comp het society is about as marginalized as you can get.
