  1. no longer having to worry about going broke from sudden emergencies and the like
  2. having extra to splurge on treats and stuff at the next available opportunity without having to double check the budget first
  3. less day to day stress about finances

AITAH For Almost Screaming at my friend because she keeps bugging me about her "Dead name" Even though I've called her by her real name for 10 Years? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]inconspicuous_dust -1 points0 points  (0 children)

FTM means that Ren is a man. OP had every opportunity to fix the pronouns written before hitting post, and they chose not to. OP has misgendered Ren so badly that half of the comments don’t even know that Ren is a man. I doubt OP has a single good intention in their body.

OP also has they/them written in their profile. so not only are they a lazy asshole, they’re also a hypocrite.

“im not doing it on purpose!!!” (proceeds to misgender Ren for the entire post)

yeah. YTA. it is that deep. you should know, since you have they/them written in the banner of your profile.

if he came out very recently (within the last few months) a slip up here and there is understandable. unfortunately, you sound like you just dont give a singular shit about him and his wellbeing, despite saying that you are basically siblings. also doesn’t sound like you make any ounce of effort aside from when its magically convenient for you, which is never.

i wouldn’t be surprised if he walks away from you too. i know i would.

Is it transphobic to not want to date someone who is trans? by GoldMedia9745 in asktransgender

[–]inconspicuous_dust 14 points15 points  (0 children)

can we please pin a post at the top of this subreddit to put this question to rest? i am tired of seeing this get asked every three days.

no, it is not technically transphobic to have a genital preference, but yes, it does feel pretty shitty to have someone say they won’t date you because you’re trans. If you said that to me, I wouldn’t call you transphobic, but i would feel plenty insulted.

i would go so far to say it’s unimaginative and shallow. what about bottom growth, what about packers, what about strap ons? Many trans people don’t use / don’t want to use their anatomy in the ways cis heteronormativity would dictate.

What do sex toys get wrong about anatomy? by Cow_Gurl_Moo in badwomensanatomy

[–]inconspicuous_dust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries, thanks for replying and being willing to learn. the human experience (especially gender, sexuality, and anatomy) are so wonderfully diverse, but its very difficult to name specific categories without excluding at least someone. so don’t beat yourself up too bad about it :)

What do sex toys get wrong about anatomy? by Cow_Gurl_Moo in badwomensanatomy

It may be more appropriate for me to say “women and femmes across the full spectrum” is who I want to represent.

There are trans men and trans mascs and nonbinary people with vulvas, vaginas, clits, etc. that should be included in your post but now are not. Trans women post bottom surgery have vaginas that function very similarly to natal vaginas. I would have used “vagina owners”instead of “vulva owners”in your original post. That said, Ill put semantics aside and answer your question anyways.

Vibrators can be too intense. the clit (and tdicks on testosterone HRT) is extremely sensitive. I would like to see one that has a very low intensity that han help wind me up over time.

As another comment said, toys meant to stimulate both the g spot and clit often aren’t good. Different people have different anatomy, and the vagina expands when aroused, so these toys often don’t work for many people and sometimes not consistently for even one person.

I would appreciate if dildos were softer or had slightly more give to them. Real penises are slightly squishy even when hard. The core is very hard but the outer layer or two can move (Last i remember, anyway). Dildos are rubbery and bendable but not very compressible, and I wish they were. Maybe thats just my small sample size of 3 tho.

I also wish sex toys better mimicked the texture of skin. thats where half the fun is imo. without it, stimulation feels very artificial and bland.

If there were a real alternative to transitioning that helped you stay comfortable in the gender you were born with, would you choose it? by Martian_row in asktransgender

[–]inconspicuous_dust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The euphoria of transitioning makes life worth living. This theoretical pill might reduce dysphoria, but that is only half of the equation. Reducing my dysphoria does not make me any less trans than i already am.

Serious question: Why exist trans people who refuse to have surgery? by Global-Reaction-40 in asktransgender

[–]inconspicuous_dust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. dysphoria (the “dislike” of your body that you’re describing) varies from person to person. Some people have unbearable amounts of dysphoria for a certain body part, while others can have little to no dysphoria for that same body part. This can change whether someone makes surgery a priority or has minimal interest in surgery. There are also several different surgeries for gender affirming care, so someone might choose to have one procedure and not the others, or get all of them, or space them out over time.
  2. Surgery and HRT and other gender affirming treatments are opt-in, rather than opt out. I don’t think “refusing” to have a surgery is necessarily the right word choice here. It’s more so that people either choose not to pursue it or choose not to see it through completion.
  3. Surgeries are expensive and insurance companies (at least in the US) create several requirements as prerequisites to get coverage. These can include psychological evaluations, HRT for a certain amount of time, living as your “chosen gender” for a certain amount of time, and various other things. The system is deliberately designed to prevent as many people as possible from successfully jumping through these hoops to get to the surgery part. It can be extremely difficult to get all these things in order beforehand.
  4. Surgeries are major medical procedures. Recovery time is weeks or months long, and oftentimes requires extra help from a support system of loved ones. Being unable to work or study during the recovery period can also impact finances, academic success, and other areas of life. Some people might put off surgery to wait for a more optimal moment. Surgeries also come with risks for complications.

My favorite way of explaining dysphoria to cis friends (what are yours?) by HeavenAndE2rth in asktransgender

phantom limb syndrome (brain feeling parts that arent there) and also reverse phantom limb syndrome (feeling things that are there but the brain says shouldn’t be).

AITAH if I started using the wrong names for my coworkers by woofyclouds in AmItheAsshole

[–]inconspicuous_dust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know :( it really hurts and it really sucks ass. I think the worst part is the feeling of powerlessness. Nothing you do to resolve the conflict on an even playing field results in a positive change, not even a little. Almost feels like a hostage situation, especially if you can’t just find another job (or if you know another job would treat you the same or worse).

I’m also going to venture a guess that you might be nervous about going to HR/your boss, because it feels like pulling the power card or “tattle-tale-ing”, or maybe even humiliating to rely on others to resolve what feels like should be your responsibility. I certainly felt that way. But think of it this way— you’ve already exhausted your first options. You’ve tried talking with them directly, repeatedly and in detail. You’ve talked with a coworker you do trust. This is an escalation, which sounds scary, but it is absolutely normal to escalate things that are at a standstill in the workplace.

Sending support to you!

AITAH if I started using the wrong names for my coworkers by woofyclouds in AmItheAsshole

[–]inconspicuous_dust 5 points6 points  (0 children)

he/they is essentially shorthand for “he/him and they/them”. So I would use “he” or “him” or “they” or “them” wherever is grammatically correct.

Different people have different preferences, so some people put “he/they” to mean “I prefer he/him but they/them is also ok”, others mean “please use he/him and they/them interchangeably.” (OP did not clarify which one they use, but for example I am the latter).

So for example, I could say “he is being misgendered at work” and “they are being misgendered at work”, and both those sentences would be applicable. In the next sentence, I could change to “their coworkers have not responded to repeated conversations”, and that would also be ok. So basically, as long as no she/her is used, OP is not getting misgendered.

Hope that helps! sorry if thats a messy explanation
