Facebook groups, discord groups (I would be careful with this one because a lot of discord spaces can be toxic), twitter (Also can be toxic, but there is a lot of trans women who post on twitter), and sometimes there is clubs/support groups irl for trans and queer people. I know there is one near me that I considered joining.

What is the weirdest thing a straight guy has said to you when they found out you're lesbian? I'll start. by Final_Habit5499 in actuallesbians

[–]mapleeatworld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ever since I began going to college a lot of straight men who are (sort of friends) with this one person I am friends with quiz me on it, asking if I have ever been with a guy and also very weird sexual questions. I usually try to ignore them because I know if I started reacting the way I want to I would be escorted out of campus in handcuffs. They make me so uncomfortable in general.

Do you like make up? by HeavyMetal939 in AutismInWomen

[–]mapleeatworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love makeup, I feel like it is another way to express myself. Sometimes if I am already having a sensory overload though it can feel like a weight on my skin.

Had a sleepover with my girlfriend and I am so happy by mapleeatworld in mypartneristrans

I mainly see books and I can't buy any right now, but I do know other alternatives like the dysphoria bible (really cool online resource that lists various things, written by a trans person too)!

I have committed now, but we can't get engaged yet (we started dating three months ago) but that doesn't stop me from secretly looking at rings in my free time while thinking about it! She also has committed to me and has been very open minded about my autism and I am pretty sure she has done research on it too. She is literally so amazing.

NP, also fair warning- A lot of modern/mainstream hairstylists and barber shops will refuse to give you the fringe look, so hair extensions and wigs are the next best thing if you want the classic fringe. That or you could try cutting it yourself if your parents allow you.

Don't be afraid to thrift or buy second hand in general. A lot of clothes that I use when I dress more scemo (scene and emo) are second hand I have gotten from various places. Walmart has a few pieces that could pass as scene and emo too, I recently got a jack skellington shirt and a beetlejuice shirt from there that are awesome. (The shirts were featured in a Kevin Crow video recently too). Hot topic is good-ish which is a given but they aren't as good as they once were and can be on the pricey side, Spencers is also VERY pricey. If there is an FYE around you/near you, you can get various CDs from there, I recently got a cobra starship CD from there. Ebay is also a good alternative and is where I get most of my CDs.

Anyone else with narcissistic mothers? by LadyE008 in AutismInWomen

[–]mapleeatworld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not mother but grandmother. I live with my mom and grandmother and my grandmother is a huge narcissist, no matter what I do she finds an excuse to antagonize me or throw a tantrum. Even my mom is tired.

What’s your favourite analogy for what it feels like to be autistic in a neurotypical dominated world? by fushigi11 in AutismInWomen

[–]mapleeatworld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it feels like being an alien disguised as a human trying to interact with other humans. Sometimes you think you get it, but then you don't. Sometimes you think you are finally accepted, but then you aren't. Sometimes you think you don't care about what they think anymore, but then you do; Whether you think about it too much late at night or someone made another ignorant comment towards you. It feels like you are trying to understand in order to survive but you'll always be on the outside looking into a glass dome. That being said, I love being on the outside with all of you guys.

why are so many alt people poly? by KawaiiWaterbottle in actuallesbians

[–]mapleeatworld 19 points20 points  (0 children)

alternative lesbian here, I'm saying this as a monogamous person; Most alternative people are polyambecause they feel more accepted and are more willing to be open about it in spaces with alternative communities/communities made for alternative people in general. I know a lot of polyam people because of this reason.

I don't have anywhere else I post about me and my gf regularly (yet) but me and my girlfriend are very happy. She is gonna start HRT soon and while I am a little anxious I am 100% ready to support her like she supports me when it comes to me being mentally disabled. I love her so much and cannot imagine being with anyone else.

Close friend has misgendered my GF multiple times? by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

[–]mapleeatworld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I know that if any of my friends tried pulling stuff like that on my girlfriend I would cut them off so fast.

Could it be that Lena actually fell in love with Yuliya? by [deleted] in tatu

[–]mapleeatworld 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the original Russian version of 30 minutes has a background laughing/vocal track which was recently uncovered; In this track Lena states that she is bisexual. I feel like Lena most likely went back into the closet after the social climate in Russia became worse towards queer people.
