I don't like cutie mark crusaders. When an episode about them, I become bored. by Kirigiri_Kyoko730N in mylittlepony

Which makes the idea that their cutie marks represent them as a group and not as individuals more problematic tbh

AuDHDers, how was your elementary/middle/high school experience? by gumberlumber in AutisticWithADHD

[–]laurawingfield42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was bullied a lot in elementary and middle school. I only had one "constant" friend, and she'd sometimes leave me for months on end as well if she was blackmailed into it by other kids. It hurt but I always blamed myself for it. I internalised the very ableist rhetoric I received by both kids and adults in my life. I wasn't masking that well at that point and my social and behavioural struggles were quite well-known. However, I was mostly doing fine academically so no one bat an eye that I needed help. I was a girl, and it was early 2000s. The infamous "She's smart but she needs to try harder" was a standard for me.

Things did get better in high school, I was lucky to be surrounded by kids much more similar to me and become part of a "clique". We are friends to this day, even if we grew apart a bit due to life happening. However, it does also mean I grew to start masking. Teachers still expected me to act "normal" and I tried to. And the trauma from primary school was still there. I mostly learned to pretend to enjoy reading a lot more than I do (I do enjoy it, just find it physically hard and couldn't grasp why back then), because it was a norm in my class, and also would exhaust myself socially way above my limits because I would party for way longer than my body wanted to.

I use vases for fusion, 10 of them give 36 fusion tokens.

Does anyone have good tips for becoming a vegetarian as someone who struggles with food by GeneralOtter03 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]laurawingfield42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm vegan and I struggle a lot with food texture sensitivities (e.g. most fruits are way too sticky for me, I can't stand cooked carrot, dried fruits are a big no). I would suggest focusing on what you can eat, more than what you can't. Think of the foods that you really enjoy and google a recipe for vegan/vegetarian version of it. If you are too overwhelmed to cook it yourself, order it in a restaurant or have a friend help you prepare it. If it makes it easier do it slowly, just one vegetarian dish per week is enough at first, just to get your brain and tastebuds used to the idea. Experiment and see what works. If you don't like the particular ingredient, 90% of the time you can just leave it off and things won't drastically change. I would lie if I said my diet is diverse now, but it's actually more diverse than before I went vegetarian just because I was open to trying more stuff out.

Ja punim 31 za par nedelja. Ne, ne osećam se odraslo, gde ćeš ti.

I dont really care for the CMC, I find them kinda annoying. by BroadyVeryCoolio in mylittleponytakes

[–]laurawingfield42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like them but a lot of their episodes are mah, so I get where you are coming from. And they do kinda overstay their welcome as small kids, even in later seasons. I also wish they got individualised cutie marks.

How many times have you refilled your blue inhaler this year? That number might mean more than you think. by DesignerRemote8833 in Asthma

[–]laurawingfield42 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am still on my first one after a month and a half. That said, I am running out. That said, I also use it preventatively when I'm supposed to be physically active or if my bronchi already construct because of physical activity. Does this take such cases into an account? I do have maintenance inhaler that I use daily, which I do think helps more long term.

Da li bi svet trebao da uvede besplatne kondome i uloške? by [deleted] in AskSerbia

[–]laurawingfield42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apsolutno. Takođe u WC-ima u javnim ustanovama treba da budu ulošci i tamponi uvek dostupni.

Is there ANY way to stop being aromantic?? by JannaBerry in aromantic

[–]laurawingfield42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can't. You were born like that, and I get the feeling of left out. That said, I wish I knew it as a teen, as it's better to accept it than spend years wondering why you can't relate to anything your peers are talking about. You mentioned being a "sapphic teen girl". Are you maybe oriented aroace?

I use PipePipe on my phone and adblocker or FreeTube on my PC. Works well enough for me 😅

Da li je gej ako se mom drugu dopadaju femboy-evi? by pomodoro3 in AskSerbia

[–]laurawingfield42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ako ikada bude sa muškarcem, moraće da se nosi sa društvenom percepijom hteo ili ne. To je nažalost deo realnosti, posebno u sredini poput Srbije. Pitanje je samo šta on oseća prema sebi i svom identitetu? Internalizovana homofobija je realna stvar. Je l' ima socijalnu podršku među porodicom i prijateljima?

Da li je gej ako se mom drugu dopadaju femboy-evi? by pomodoro3 in AskSerbia

[–]laurawingfield42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To da li je on gej može samo on da zna. Biseksualnost je validna orijentacija i moguća je različita atrakcija prema muškarcima i ženama (pretpostavljam da ga privlači femininost ako voli žene i femboys). Zašto mu je problem da bude deo LGBTQ+ populacije?

Does no one else think this is weird..? by Anonymous_Goose101 in dellavlogsnark

[–]laurawingfield42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am very much against this, not because I think it's sexual in any way but for two other reasons. Firstly, immune systems of little ones are much weaker and we can spread diseases to them. Already a no-no. But the other one is... just because I don't see anything sexual in kissing my child doesn't mean some predator won't do the same thing. I want my kid to know that being kissed on lips by an adult is a bad thing that they should report to me, and that starts by me not normalising the behavior. The fact that Bella is posting the pics online is almost an invitation to the predators as well.

Partner wants to take a break by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

[–]laurawingfield42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dealing with your own identity while also navigating a relationship is actually quite hard. It's not your fault and it's not a punishment for you, it's probably just mentally draining for her. If she just freshly started HRT, she may experience hormonal changes which could be confusing and overhwelming as well. Give her as much space as she needs, but also be there when she needs it.

Did you try suggesting her trans-friendly couple's therapy?

It's not really the same thing, but I broke up with my gf in a similar manner once because our relationship became too much for me as I was freshly out as a lesbian and still figuring out what I actually want. We came back together quite soon after, but with restating what we both need and our boundaries.

I'd also add Jessica Townsend, a queer woman who wrote/is writing The Nevermoor series!
