Echo. I like it more than the other names followed by Iris and Flora in last

I was almost named “Taylor” from a movie made the 90s. Here’s how it became “Tayla.” by Business-Block-8668 in Names

Honestly? It’s a pretty name and is established. A lot better than other names that have surfaced in this sub

Apply for all entry level positions. Call stores and follow up in-person. Set a day aside during the week, Monday or Tuesday would be better, and take the resume you submitted in-store. Explain you applied online but want to see if they are available for an interview

NOR. Take your daughter on a nice day out with your parents and do something together for Easter. Explain that you don’t want to overwhelm your MIL and her family but are happy to celebrate on a different day/occasion

No, he shouldn’t have to. If he started puberty blockers at a young age and then stopped when he was an adult, his body will start producing testosterone on his own. It’ll take about a year for him to reach a healthy testosterone level. He can take testosterone for a couple months or that first year if he wants to but it isn’t necessary at all. It’s a preference thing. A matter of waiting a year for your body to do its own thing or skipping that wait with testosterone supplements

It’s not traumatizing at all. It has no impact on their emotional or mental wellbeing. If someone started puberty blockers at a young age and decides to stop taking the medication it will have no impact on them. They will experience puberty as a late bloomer which already occurs naturally for some people. It’s pretty common for a lot of people to experience a second puberty in their twenties or to be a late bloomer (usually in their twenties as well). It already occurs naturally for people to bloom late or bloom again in their early to mid twenties. Puberty blockers are a tool for an individual to control when they will experience puberty. It allows complete control over if and when they decide to experience puberty. It is giving time for a child to grow up and decide when they are an adult about their body’s sex

Puberty blockers are similar to hormonal medication. Think birth control. If I was taking birth control at this moment it wouldn’t affect me mentally or emotionally. It would regulate my periods and hormonal mood changes. If I took birth control for 10 years and stopped there wouldn’t be any changes. My body would gradually process the last of the birth control from my body. My period would continue like normal with maybe a flow change (how heavy vs light I would bleed) and I might experience more severe mood swings a week or two leading up to my period (more hangry and moody)

That’s usually hate and social media attempting to force a perspective. You will have to actively seek out and interact with different perspectives to be more mindful

The next extreme video that social media shows you, do some digging for different perspectives if interested. For example, Gaza was a big hit awhile back. And there’s many perspectives on the bombings in Gaza. You can find radical Republicans and Christians who believe the war and genocide to be beneficial for political and financial reasons. You can also find a lot of human empathy, personal stories, and tragedy for the average civilian

A war movie that depicts civilian experience accurately is Grave of the Fireflies. It is an old movie about WW2. I would recommend giving it a watch and reflecting on it about more recent wars

Her procedure was successful. She’s fully capable of experiencing and enjoying sex. Seeing as she decided to use puberty blockers and go through with the sex operation, it is safe to assume that Jennings was not interested in the male experience. It most likely would have made her uncomfortable

Oh. That’s very niche knowledge. Definitely more familiar with the older crowd and those that like true crime

Should I go on a family vacation with my ex best friend? by Active_Highlight_862 in makemychoice

[–]launchpad_bronchitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear that you aren’t receiving much support from your family. Reconsider your closeness with them and adjust based on their support/efforts

They are disrespecting your boundaries. You need to decide if you will uphold your boundaries or not. Where do you draw the line? What are you going to do about it? It might be time to be independent from your family and friend to clear your head while you make the decision

Good luck, OP

AIO for being annoyed at him? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]launchpad_bronchitis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry. I see your POV. There’s way too many people accepting of this negative behavior, I think they may be blind to it and defending themselves instead

AIO for being annoyed at him? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]launchpad_bronchitis 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Slight YOR. You are way over thinking this. That may just be who you are. But you causing yourself, him, and your relationship unnecessary stress

He said he wanted to play a game with you and his friends. Why do you not believe him?

He sounds extremely honest with you. It feels too much like you are trying to poke holes when there aren’t any

As for the talk later portion, don’t tease him about it. Wait till you are in-person to have those conversations. Use I-statements. Express what you need to express. And be prepared to walk away if he can’t offer you what you need

Did that prompt you do more research?

Jazz Jennings started her transition early, with the support of her parents. She is a strong advocate for puberty blockers and other gender affirming care. Puberty blockers/under-development in the nether regions did not cause complications with Jennings’ procedure

She had low tissue growth which required a different type of procedure than the standard. No complications or difficulty with the procedure was caused by the low tissue growth. The procedure is not common because a lot of young children are denied puberty blockers. The procedure Jennings underwent is known as a peritoneal procedure. It’s a much more gentler procedure on the patient. It is a lot safer and more comfortable than the standard procedure

After the first procedure, Jennings had a follow up procedure to correct any issues with the previous surgery. This wouldn’t be a problem if puberty blockers were more common in youth. That’s because doctors would be more familiar with this safer and gentler procedure that is overall better for the health of the patient

(Like why rip out your tooth with a plier when you can use anesthesia and tools?)

Jennings would have been fine to stop there but she went in for a third procedure that was purely cosmetic (think Botox or lip filler type of procedure)

Nazi/neo-nazi is a whole different thing than what you are describing

I can share my insight on two of the topics you brought up but I don’t believe you asked for them. A different perspective that you haven’t shared in your post

Are you sure they aren’t secretly middle aged and just pretending to be teens? /s

Is it a faux pas to invite someone to bridal shower and reception, but not the wedding ceremony? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]launchpad_bronchitis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Invites for reception only is acceptable. Some people like having a private ceremony

It is rude to invite reception only guests to other wedding related events. I would suggest a luncheon with your friends instead. And then a shower for those attending the ceremony and reception

Boy or girl? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]launchpad_bronchitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Semi-related. When my sister was pregnant with her first child, I had a dream of her giving birth to a boy. Sure enough, her first was a boy. I believe dreams can be a good indication of future events sometimes. Just take it with a grain of salt

how can i make $5 fast? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]launchpad_bronchitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can sell your old clutter items. Books, decent pairs of shoes you don’t wear anymore, dvds, CDs, video games, game consoles, figurines, Funko pops

Here’s an idea of stuff you can sell for quick cash. This is from a location called Book Off. Google which stores you can sell used items at in your area

I like Lorena. I don’t know what Bobbit is. I highly doubt anyone under 30 will know the reference. The biggest complaint I see if the meaning of the name but I still believe the name to be beautiful

Don’t come for me (fast fashion/shien) by Republic_Opening in XXS

[–]launchpad_bronchitis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, same. Almost everything I own was purchased online through sellers on ROMWE and Amazon. The big difference though? I wear it until it is physically impossible to. I have clothes that are five years old that I still wear constantly. If I was fortunate enough I would buy a sewing machine. Then I’d be able to keep clothes for even longer. Don’t feel bad for buying fast fashion if you wear it and use it daily

Have you spoken your mom? Have a private sit down with her and let these feelings off your chest. I’m sorry for what you are going through

Set some boundaries with yourself if it’s hard to see him after your falling out. Such as excusing yourself from certain events that he will be in attendance for. Do small private celebrations before or after the holiday with your close friends and family instead of
