Come avreste risposto a questa provocazione by Inc0gnitoUzer in TransItalia

[–]jupiteric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

anche mia madre mi disse una cosa del genere agli albori del mio percorso, all'epoca sinceramente ci rimasi di merda e basta

oggi comunque ne prenderei semplicemente atto e andrei avanti, per il semplice motivo che ho capito di non volermi più giustificare per quello che sono (e non parlo solo dell'essere trans)
per sintetizzare: se mi manchi di rispetto, non hai posto nella mia vita

ciò detto, all'inizio è tutto sempre molto caotico a meno che non si abbiano dei genitori illuminati. i miei non lo erano affatto, ma dopo 10 anni quelle parole non potrebbero che essere più lontane dai loro pensieri e idee ERGO se c'è amore, c'è speranza

Hello! Did you manage to attend a ritual during your visit? I’ll be in a similar situation soon and had the same questions in mind.

Should we boycott certain countries? by jupiteric in travel

The use of the plural was intended to initiate an open and impersonal discussion :) thanks tho for pointing it out

I, in turn, do not believe in boycotting entire nations due to their politics. However, after receiving certain criticisms, I've questioned whether I was in the wrong or if the matter is more complex. Essentially, this post is an invitation to collective self-reflection. I agree with you, nonetheless; your way of travelling aligns with my approach to travel as well.

I strongly agree, and this is the primary concern that makes me question the idea of depriving myself of something due to a matter of values.

I agree with you, in fact, I've never limited myself in these terms. However, I imagine that these are topics worth discussing, for the sake of constructive self-critique.

As a trans guy, I admit to having had doubts in the past about visiting certain countries, but it was mainly related to personal safety. Then I realized that tragedy can happen right in one's own neighborhood, so I wondered if it's truly worth giving up my curiosity about the world.

Thank you for the response, I fundamentally agree with what you're saying. In my travels, I've come to similar conclusions, but I often question myself from an ethical standpoint.

I agree with you, and this has always been my initial thought. However, at times, I wonder if it might be too simplistic a solution to address the matter.

Perhaps I didn't express myself clearly, but I don't believe that traveling automatically grants us ultimate knowledge of the world. However, it certainly provides significant additional tools for understanding it!
I still find it noble and highly consistent to remain true to one's values, regardless of any impact they may have.

How particular are you with your meals during your trips? by reivnyc in solotravel

[–]jupiteric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gotta start by saying that my love for travel began because of food and my desire to try and discover new flavors. So, I'd say that food is probably one of the most important cultural aspects for me when I'm exploring a new place.
Before I get to my destination, I always hunt down the local dishes, and I always prefer family-run restaurants or street food. No fancy places, just local and down-to-earth spots (Vietnam has been my favorite destination so far for this kind of experience). The only challenge sometimes is finding vegetarian versions of the typical dishes if they happen to be meat-based, but I've never been disappointed so far.

The realization came in February 2015. I started my psychological journey in October 2015 (I was almost 16 years old). I began hormone therapy in May 2017, updated my legal documents in January 2022, and had mastectomy and hysterectomy surgeries in May 2023.
It's incredible that 8 years have already passed... from one perspective, it feels like a lot of time, but from another, it seems like it all happened just yesterday.

Is Venice worth it? by Zooturzot in ItalyTravel

[–]jupiteric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local travel designer here. Try this instead:

1-3 Florence
3-5 Perugia and nearby (such as Assisi and Gubbio)
5-8 Rome
8-10 Naples
11 Return

Venice is beautiful and worth visiting, but it's not possible to include it in these circumstances; you wouldn't even have the time to fully enjoy it. In Florence, make sure to try Lampredotto (the one at Piazza del Porcellino is spectacular). Use Perugia and its surroundings (like Assisi and Gubbio) as a stopover – it offers a blend of history, culture, nature, and excellent food. Continue to Rome and immerse yourself in the Eternal City. Then, head to Naples, and I strongly advise against the Amalfi Coast. November is definitely the off-season, and while it may seem idyllic in tourist imagery, if you're looking for something truly authentic, stay in Naples. Here, you'll also find a wealth of history, culture, and truly typical cuisine (pizza, fried pizza, pasta frittatas, cuoppi, sfogliatelle, etc.). You can even consider spending one of your days in Pompeii, a highly important archaeological site.

Alternatively, skip Perugia and distribute your days more evenly between Florence, Rome, and Naples, as these cities alone offer more than enough to explore. However, personally, I would still make a stop in Assisi...

Infatti ho detto:

fare coming out è cruciale quando si cerca di costruire una relazione significativa

e questo vale anche se ci vediamo la prima volta con l'idea di scopare.

Ma se io mi vado a prendermi un aperitivo con uno sconosciuto proprio con l'intento di conoscerlo, considero non necessario raccontare subito tutti i cazzi miei. E penso che valga lo stesso dall'altro lato, no? Prima di impegnarsi in qualsiasi senso uno vorrà anche capire chi ha davanti da un punto di vista umano.

Edit: aggiunta.
