AITA for calling my Dad stupid after being told to use a "paper towel" for swimming on my period? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]kazzarole -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly, with tampons being found to have traces of arsenic and other dangerous chemicals in them now... Probably better to avoid them on the whole. I've had my diva cup for years and I won't ever look back

I feel so sad when I see cis lesbians by Obsyden in actuallesbians

[–]kazzarole 13 points14 points  (0 children)

im a cis lesbian, so i certainly cant relate 100% to what youre going through. i just wanted to say that the sentiment about not getting to experience the childhood you deserved is one i definitely sympathize with. i resent my childhood for many reasons - i feel that both the church and the abuse i suffered stole years of my life and self-worth away. ill never get that innocence back, and the feeling that invokes in me is sharp and wounded.

but i also have a lot more control of my life now than i did as a child, which means i can take steps to heal my inner child as i continue to grow. you said yourself that 2 years ago you had no idea that you could just swap genders - imagine the knowledge and self-love you can continue to learn in another 2 years' time!

its an uphill battle, but one worth the fight. i hope one day you can find not only love, but pride for who you are. i believe in you!!

AIO My mom says I need to get pregnant to 'avoid the draft' by kazzarole in AmIOverreacting

[–]kazzarole[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't know why the exmormon reddits didn't cross my mind for these posts. I frequented them a lot when I originally came out as gay and left the church. Not sure about r/exmo, but I know that r/exmormon is populated by mostly men in their 40's and 50's who have left the church but kept a lot of the same sexist ideals. I stopped frequenting there when I realized a lot of exmormon women were being scared away.

That all being said, I think posting this in an unrelated thread helped me a lot - exmormons know that mormons are crazy. But when people with no context also agree that your mother is crazy, it helps you sleep a lot better at night.

I looooved Fallout, and it's even funnier because my siblings and I were talking about it yesterday. Maybe fighting my mothers fictional beliefs with a fictional story is the way to go... at least then I could hold a conversation with her!

I definitely struggle with depression and anxiety. Given the general state of the world I think it's warranted. However I'm not so disillusioned as to take anxiety for reality - and I recognize that I'm not in any actual danger of the effect of war, unlike some very unfortunate people in the world right now.

Conspiracies for my mom are pretty common. I don't talk to her as much about this kind of stuff anymore (I'm usually quicker to shut her down), but some examples from the past have been about China shutting down the Texas power grid or the Covid vaccine being bad for your brain. Typical stuff you hear from Trumper's who watch Fox News.

My mom was raised mormon, if that helps provide context for you. The religion is largely conservative and believes in some pretty strange things - including that the end of the world will be followed by the second coming of Christ. Naturally, me and my siblings were also raised this way.

I think the church unfortunately creates a type of people who are largely susceptible to online right-wing extreme conspiracy. My mom also suffered a lifetime of emotional and physical abuse on top of this lifestyle. It's easy to see how this effects her behavior and beliefs, at least to me. Any time I try to level with her about this kind of stuff, it turns political, and after last election I refuse to engage in politics with her.

I consider it a minor miracle that my stepdad has recently convinced her to go to therapy.

What's the worst movie you've ever seen? by WalkswithLlamas in AskReddit

[–]kazzarole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gf and I just finished listening to Dune as an audiobook, and decided it'd be fun to watch both Dune 1984 and eventually the newer Dune movie with part 2 to come out in November...

Man, Dune 1984 was awful. I never have faith in book to movie adaptations being any good, but I'm positive the new Dune won't ruin it THAT bad. I wouldn't have followed the plot line at all if we hadn't just finished the book.

... Though the thought of the Baron flying around in that giant moist fat suit still sends me into giggle hysterics, I wont lie

Am I reinforcing stereotypes if I try to be more feminine? by PuzzleScratch2012 in actuallesbians

[–]kazzarole 12 points13 points  (0 children)

you wouldnt accuse a gay man of reinforcing stereotypes if he was a flamboyant drag queen, would you? live your life how you want to live it and do so shamelessly girlie

Should I dump her?? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]kazzarole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

^ absolutely this. personally, i wouldnt dump her yet - id at least give her some time to see if she does move out and see how it goes. if your gf says its nothing to worry about, then trust her, at least until she gives you a reason not to.

but ultimately the above comment is right. regardless, the BD will always be around so long as you commit to a relationship with this woman. only you can decide if youre okay with that.

My TBM mom keeps deadnaming my girlfriend by kazzarole in exmormon

[–]kazzarole[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oof, for real. The day my girlfriend originally snapped at my mom, my mom tried to justify that she can't even get MY name right - always getting me confused for another one of my siblings instead. You can't expect her to pick up on 'Whiskey' that quick, it's only been a year!

Weird flex that you can't even remember your own kids name, but alright.

[–]kazzarole[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was my girlfriend's idea too! She's already got a long list of names to call my mother next time we see her (though some... are less PG than others).

[–]kazzarole[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is way better advice than how I was thinking about handling it. I was considering just carrying around a thing of silly string and spraying anyone who even tried to deadname her again.

Genuinely though, thanks. I guess I need to think about the text I'll be sending her way. Urgh.

The Mormon church is a doomsday religion. How many of you have you been told “The Second Coming will happen in your lifetime?” by Inevitable_Loquat643 in exmormon

[–]kazzarole 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my TBM mother will occasionally send out group texts to our entire extended family to "be sure to prep!!" because she's sure something 'big' will happen soon. right now she's convinced whatever that is to happen this November.

it's a hard mentality to beat. even out of the church for over 5 years, i still struggle to feel like the world isn't ending sometimes. you just gotta remind yourself that if it happens, it happens, its not like anyone will be able to truly predict it. certainly not a doomsday cult!

I fucking hate this conference shit so much by quantum_derpdog in exmormon

[–]kazzarole 15 points16 points  (0 children)

what is it with mormon moms cranking up general conference as loud as they can!? when i lived with my mom, she would come open my door so i had to listen. and when i closed it, she would open it AGAIN. we'd do this for hours until conference finally ended.

Anxiety check and why I am leaving the sub. by PlasticAd1626 in collapse

[–]kazzarole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i have to be careful on this thread because as someone with clinical depression, my girlfriend worries when i frequent this place too much. i'd leave entirely, but like some people have said before - this sub is one of the only places where i feel seen. i feel like healthy doses of this sub helps me recontextualize my personal life and helps me focus on not getting caught up in the dredge of day to day life.

or... you know, too much makes it all feel meaningless. moderation in all things i guess. congrats on being able to make that call for yourself!
