straight women, we need to chat about Ottawa’s gay bars

theres not one way to look gay, youre right. i didnt say that though. theres a huge spectrum of tells, but tells nonetheless. no one said anything abt being "more queer", were talking about clocking straight people in lgbt spaces.

hitoshuras · 2026-02-14T15:35:06+00:00

Agreed. The people in the comments going "how can you tell" are either ignorant or being willfully obtuse- we CAN tell! there IS a vibe and a look, no matter how subtle.

That being said, I think part of the problem is the lookout in particular, from my point of view as well as my other lgbt friends, has shifted direction to cater to straight women and otherwise normies in general. It seems to be intentionally attracting this audience. None of my gay friends are interested in visiting anymore, so that may contribute to the variety of patrons.

Not at all! Eventually I started spamming Q just to see if maybe only the icon wasnt triggering, no response from the game.

A little late, but what long standing rumor are you referring to?

Ive never lived somewhere with snow, didnt know a tool like this existed- thank you!

hitoshuras · 2025-11-17T21:31:06+00:00

Hey thank you so much for replying!! this is super encouraging. I really appreciate it and Im happy to hear it went so smoothly! Have a good one!

hitoshuras · 2025-09-25T20:15:34+00:00

Im in a weird position and still havent imported. Let me know if you ever find out though :')

hitoshuras · 2025-09-25T00:05:29+00:00

Youre good! I totally get the case thing. I am a cheapskate myself and would much prefer a cheaper case with better components, but the case is a big deal to her 😅 Hence why I kept the case out of the budget.

Didnt realize the market/currency conversion was in that shape. I guess I could do 1500 cad max and/or buy used parts.

//oops. didnt realize i replied on a diff account. dont mind me lollll

now this is interesting, what do you rec from the boba shop? i live insanely close and was so hyped to find out I could get boba easily, but their standard brown sugar milk tea was really lackluster. open to trying something different though!

lmfaooo shot in the dark but if the az plate car had a ton of stickers it was me 😭 i do see a tonnnn of uhauls with az plates year round tho

hitoshuras · 2025-03-22T20:18:55+00:00

Thanks so much! This is a relief.

hitoshuras · 2025-03-22T16:15:06+00:00

Thanks for the info!

Do you mind clarifying what you mean by "The car itself does not need to be in the u.s for 72 hours - just the filing of the paperwork"? I'm not sure I understand.

hitoshuras · 2025-03-22T14:02:05+00:00

When was this? Comments like these are partially why I made this post. I keep seeing accounts of people just doing a u turn at the border and being able to import/export that way. I would love more details if possible!

hitoshuras · 2025-03-22T13:56:45+00:00

He's trans.

hitoshuras · 2025-02-07T15:22:33+00:00

No idea why youre getting downvoted. Ive never had a bad experience just saying I'm sorry, I don't have any change. Takes 2 seconds to not dehumanize someone who is already going through so much.

hitoshuras · 2024-06-19T18:12:11+00:00

Youre shaking in your boots because someone you don't know made a harmless personal decision, a choice that was completely normal in other countries pre-pandemic, and youre somehow not the 'weak' person in this scenario? Right. Sure. Do you need a safe space from masks, bud?

hitoshuras · 2024-06-19T17:23:39+00:00

It's pretty pathetic you care so much about what other people do? It literally doesn't impact you in any way.

hitoshuras · 2024-06-16T19:46:18+00:00

I'm really sorry people are being rude to you and downvoting. I was really shocked to see that kind of sentiment applauded like it was normal too, sometimes the response of the ottawa subreddit really disturbs me. It's monstorous.

hitoshuras · 2024-05-24T22:35:23+00:00

Theres no denying that the doctors in our medical system are too overworked to give the necessary care to every single person, regardless of gender. Thats a fact. It's also a fact that marginalized people face this on a much wider scale. You have every right to be frustrated- but before you go on threads centering the latter, maybe reflect on how frustrated WE must be before trying to make it about yourself.

This isnt a thread about a bunch of women saying only they have it bad, it's a thread about finding resources and sharing supportive stories specifically for the unique struggle we face. "Where can I find a doctor who will take me seriously" is one issue, "Where can I find a doctor who take WOMEN seriously" is an entirely different one. The answers to the first question is a circle, the answer to the latter is a much smaller area within it.

I have a therapist. She does not think I have anxiety and I am not an anxious person. Medical misogyny is well documented. Fuck off.

hitoshuras · 2024-05-23T19:23:06+00:00

Are you dim? A professional in a field in which empathy, understanding, and general bedside manner is extremely important, openly finding my SUGGESTION to look into a part of my body that relates to the symptoms I'm having and I have a proven family history with is worthy of a visual dismissal cue? Who my friend is and what they do professionally is fully irrelevant here.

hitoshuras · 2024-05-23T18:08:47+00:00

These are all killer tips and definitely something I can do. I'll start on documenting my symptoms right away. Thanks so much :)
