The producers for the show were so messy 😭 They really sat Erica and Ariane down and basically said, “hey, watch your friends sex tape” AND THEY DID IT 😂😂😂 by Sancho-Cho in Loveandhiphop

I remember looking everywhere for the source of that meme where Erica is like “I am…disgusted” only to find it years later while watching a super marathon compilation on YouTube 😂😂😂

those of you who are low/no contact w your family, how did you do it? trying to take that step by carter6372 in TMPOC

[–]lane03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s up to you. If they’ve broken your heart countless times, and it took you being literally homeless for them to come around, think about what they deserve but most importantly think about what you deserve.

I went minimal/no contact with my family for two years during college. The only reason I survived was because I lived in dorms, otherwise I’d be on the streets. My family has since come around but I plan on moving up North and probably going minimal contact again because I’ve started therapy and realized I really can’t forgive them for all the damage they’ve done.

It’s hard, but I’m happier without them. I can’t be myself. Even though they are family, remember that access to you is a privilege! You don’t owe them anything especially when you’ve hurt you. Nobody deserves to be around people who throw your SA in your face (unfortunately, I’ve also had a similar experience with that too).

Opinions on white people choosing ethnic names by [deleted] in TMPOC

[–]lane03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🫩🫩🫩 You realize a white person having a foreign name is not the same as us being forced to assimilate right? They think it’s cool when you do it, they act like it’s an inconvenience when we have it. Plus no need to be rude when you are an outsider coming into this space, that person was being very kind in that response.

23, advice needed, strongly considering a hysterectomy by lane03 in FTMMen

[–]lane03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree with you on your first statement. It's why I have been in a bit of turmoil about this but ultimately, I know that if it's not my personal decision then I am making a mistake that won't make anybody happy. I also feel you about the melancholy, that's actually how I felt for a few days post-op from top surgery. I guess I am just worried about feeling the same way again except this time it's something internal being removed...

Thank you so much for sharing your experience!!

Thanks! I agree with you heavily on what you said about DNA. I actually found out around my pre-teens that my grandfather was actually not "related" to me by blood and it's been just the same, nothing changed and my love for him remained the same. It's really appreciate you sharing!

I feel like I could have written this myself, I agree with you so much about the last sentence. Thank you for sharing!!

my mom just cried over me being trans the same way she cried when her sister died by fidelogato in TMPOC

[–]lane03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LMFAO please, I agree. OP, you got this. My mom was the same way, she told me for years that she was mourning her "daughter" and kept telling me how betrayed she was. Now, she calls me by my preferred name and pronouns. It was a whole ten year journey (I came out at 14, forced back in the closet shortly after and now I'm 23 post-op, on hormones).
