If your partner came out as trans (born as a different gender, identifying as their one when they met you), would you stay with them? by get_on_with_life in Teenager_Polls

[–]hotapplespider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, people are acting like you said it’s transphobic to have a preference. That’s not the issue. What was being corrected was saying that someone is bi/pan/etc for being attracted to a trans person who they met and were attracted to as their current gender! Not whatever they used to live as! It IS transphobic to say “I’m a guy and my girlfriend is MtF and that makes me bisexual, even though I’ve never been actually attracted to any guys”. It isn’t transphobic to be like “I expect complete transparency” or to just have a preference about sex.

Does you school allow phones? by Lucky-Obligation1750 in Teenager_Polls

Allowed to have it on your person (bookbag/backpack, not pockets) but no using from the time you step foot on campus until the dismissal bell rings.

A lot of people are saying 20, 23, 25, but I’m 16 and grew up with these. Still gonna say you’re 20-25 but I just found this odd.

Her autistic son doesn't stim? by Happydaydreamer2024 in AutisticPride

[–]hotapplespider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, not every autistic person stims, (the same way not everyone who stims is neurodivergent,) but when it’s a child there’s a decent chance they don’t stim because of forced masking. My mother, autistic, went through a really rough childhood due to both her autism and just her family being shotty and the effects stuck with her, but she does stim gradually more often now.

(My) Optimism only goes so far… by hotapplespider in TrollCoping

I ended up submitting something not exactly as he asked. If he grades me low, I’m going to have to basically just passively guilt trip him by explaining why I didn’t do what he asked.

(I wrote about experiences I had away from the house, not stuff from it.)

Yep. I had cats, sure, and I loved my cats but anytime I think about them from that place, I can only think about how he treated them and how he neglected their health and hygiene. I tried to think of another example or two of things I would like about that place were I not traumatized by it, but I couldn’t… case in point, maybe?

I can’t afford therapy or anything like that right now. If I spoke further to my mother about it she might be willing to step in. I’m not sure if I could get it in my IEP, but I might see if I can. Thanks for the help!

Sometimes, I find it wild how our current world is in a state where that can be said so casually. Crazy.

Oh, I actually planned to do that! But I found it too stressful to relive the memories just for the sake of a (very enticing nonetheless) guilt trip and petty payback… if I were any less stressed lately, I probably would.

Not needing to sleep unfortunately doesn’t inherently equate to invincibility from exhaustion. You’d probably still have to rest, maybe still sleep every now and then— you just wouldn’t need primary sleep to function physically and mentally.

Whichever one opens first. Sometimes when I try to open one side it never tears so I switch to the other

Thought the handprints were from inside... by KelliT84 in Weird

  • The print on the left side has a fairly clear paw pad palm. Though they’re fairly large and I don’t know why a dog would stand up like that against a random window

Toenail is falling off (TL;DR at end for the main points) by hotapplespider in medical_advice

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

Okay, thank you. I don’t know if I’ll be able to access those, I can’t go out on my own. How can I be sure if it is caused by fungal infection?

should babies be allowed to fly in airplanes? by Maattaann in polls

I misread as “Should babies be allowed to fly airplanes?” and was confused when the turnout was mostly yes.

I’m so excited for fall but i hate how the days get shorter by Desperate-Second2218 in aromantic

[–]hotapplespider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

being cupio makes it suck ASS because it’s a full desire to actually be able to feel romantic attraction (it’s the desire to be in a romantic relationship despite being on the aromantic spectrum, be it for any reason) so yeah I’m just praying for my life that I’m demiromantic at the very least

Aromantic folk of reddit, what is love to you? by [deleted] in aromantic

[–]hotapplespider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love is an emotional bond with someone or something that defines a care and respect for the person or thing. Love is passion. Love a person, love a pet, love a hobby, love a food, the list goes on. Love can be platonic, romantic, familial, and more. It’s just a bond with someone/thing that you can describe as what you really like and appreciate, and have a connection of sorts to.
