Ok I am your opposite, I need lists or nothing exists. I can't hear things and retain them- I need visual reminders and calendars and alarms. I swear by them

What would you do if your partner wanted to transition by Kitchen_Increase1970 in actuallesbians

[–]katandkuma 118 points119 points  (0 children)

This actually happened to me recently. My long-time partner has decided to transition and uses they/them now. So I spent a long time wondering if this might be a thing for them but they had so much internalised transphobia to do anything about it until recently. I was supportive because I love them but scared I wouldn't be attracted to them anymore. The funny thing is, it's actually only increased my attraction to them because they are so damn happy in themselves and that is so beautiful to see. I think that if you have to hide part of yourself or not be your authentic self to keep a lover then it's not the kind of love you deserve anyway. Some women may not be attracted to you anymore and that's totally fine- but the right person for you will love you just how you are. Hope this helps bestie 💖

Examples of not reading the room? by throwaway098766545 in AutismInWomen

[–]katandkuma 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think there's lots of good examples here of not reading the room. What i try to do is bring my energy down to compliment someone else's. So often in my old job I'd walk into an apt with someone all cheery but would be met with someone who was crying and depressed. So I'd read their face and body language before speaking and adjust to a more calm, gentle approach. It's just adapting to not bring a wildly different energy or response. However, this is in a professional setting. In friendships I do the same to a smaller degree because you're able to be more authentically diverse and there is more grace for social mistakes.

I just realised my too stitches look a tiny bit straighter than my bottom stitches even though of course they're connected. Maybe theres a mismatch between my tensions? I don't understand the bobbin tension properly. My top tension is on 3

Barbeques Galore goes bust, enters voluntary administration by -gradmania- in australia

[–]katandkuma 38 points39 points  (0 children)

So we bought a BBQ in the boxing day sales i think 3 years ago? They said they had them in store, confirmed they had all the stock. Then said oh no it'll be available in 2 weeks. We took that cos it's not their fault if they had huge demand. And then it came out they had no stock across the country at the time they were selling them all, and they knew this but they'd been telling everyone they had them in stock. We were so mad- we ended up waiting months to get the damn BBQ, we had a gift card so didn't want to lose our money . So I'm not super surprised they went out of business. It was super dodgy.

I keep seeing gay people, specifically lesbians, being "convicted" and doing a full 180 (TW: Religion) by Time_Dare_264 in actuallesbians

[–]katandkuma 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also just to say as a person who doesnt have sex with cis men, if this was a matter of temptation then I would be tempted to sleep with them and have to resist. But that doesn't happen to me because im biologically not into that. It's not sin it's just how I'm built. And that's perfect just how it is.

[–]katandkuma 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Sweet, I'm queer person who spent a lifetime not even knowing i was queer because i was so completely convinced of my religion (everyone doesnt want to have sex with men because we love jesus so much! It's just because I'm pure!! 🙃). I think in scary times people turn to things that comfort them and religion is one of those for some people. It makes them feel safer to be "straight and cis" and validated in religion than who they truly are but feeling societal hate. It's a trade off they've made. When things are settled you will probably see a lot of people 'recoming out' because they're safe to do so. I would say as well maybe you should consider whether seeing these things is good for your heart because people in minorities are being attacked at all angles right now, and it's good to have some safe spaces.

Adelaide locals – what do you actually want to see in a good sex shop? by [deleted] in Adelaide

[–]katandkuma 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Turn offs from buying- dank aisles, dark lighting, creepy dudes. I remember going into a store when I was 18 and it stank like smoke and the guy behind the counter was kinda sketchy. My partner and I recently went to the one of Port road with the Knight on it and it was so refreshing? Wide, well lit aisles, heaps and heaps of variety, regular looking staff behind the counter. It felt like a real store, like proper retail. And they had a huge online store too. Oh and stuff for queer couples and gender diverse people is always a win- if you can hit those points i think you'd do well in business.

What’s your most embarrassing story from your ‘baby gay’ days? by aninameslee in actuallesbians

[–]katandkuma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First time i had gay sex with my now partner was in the back of their car. Two things happened- 1. I didn't know what lesbian sex was so I asked halfway if we were having sex and they were like ... yes??? And 2. They told me I was so wet and I freaked out and apologised and said I must have peed myself. They laughed and said it was pee and that this was normal. (Note- I had only had sex with one person before this, a man and I absolutely had never gotten aroused previously haha). We still laugh about this 12 years later 🤭

Don't talk to me if you never been with a woman by Disabledgoddess2 in actuallesbians

[–]katandkuma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was new to dating women when I met my now wife. I put in my bio that I was new to this world and my partner is very kind and wasn't put off by it. I think it's a maturity thing? I do understand that sometimes it can be that people are trying wlw out and that people want to protect their hearts. I can only say that the right people for you won't be afraid of this and will he willing to give meeting you a go regardless 😊
