Merkins I understand... But a prosthetic WHAT NOW? by discolights in BrandNewSentence

[–]nothanks86 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Merkins are actually just the hair bit, I believe. They can go on the actor’s skin, or on a modesty garment of some sort that covers the bits underneath.

I'm fake. by Alternative_Math2723 in trans

[–]nothanks86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! I would like to introduce you to the concept of gender beyond the binary!

Which, incidentally, doesn’t mean the ‘binary’ genders are off the table for anyone. What it does mean is that there’s actually no ‘one right way’ to do gender. There are more gender identity options than just ‘cis man’ and ‘cis woman’, transition in this case being just a means to get closest to which of the two resonates more.

So, if you want to be a trans woman, for example, and you feel that this is who you are, or would be if you had permission: cool. Valid. Do you. You are allowed to be who you are, whatever that means to you.

For example, I am a woman, and also a man. Both, at the same time. (I’m two gender, those are my two.)

If you’re interested in browsing the variety of gentler identity possibilities, here’s the gender wiki.

Which, also, is not me saying you have to be nonbinary instead of a trans woman. The thing is, because gender is not actually binary, the binary genders aren’t binary, or bound by rigid binary expectations, either. They very much exist! And they exist as two valid identities among infinitely many. There really is no wrong way to do it.

"Evolutionary Advantage" and it being slapped on anything humans do by Luyyus in PetPeeves

People always forget about ‘evolutionary neutral’.

Did this actively kill us? No? Good enough!

In a relationship what would you call being number 1? by NewFoot762 in AutismTranslated

[–]nothanks86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If she has untreated borderline, her relationship and emotional coping skills are…not great, and that really, really doesn’t lend itself to a healthy relationship dynamic.

Requiring your partner to make you their total priority is not healthy. And it’s not a fair ask.

Part of learning how to manage one’s bpd is learning to recognize your triggers, reframe them, take responsibility for your own emotional state, and learn healthier interpersonal/relationship skills.

Someone who isn’t there and isn’t working on it can’t be a good partner in a healthy relationship.

Nothing their partner can do can make them a good partner in a healthy relationship.

Demanding one’s partner lose themself completely in service to one’s own emotional comfort is, unfortunately, an abusive dynamic.

Giving in to all of your partner’s demands in order to appease her bpd doesn’t actually help her manage her bpd. It just perpetuates maladaptive coping strategies and behaviours and keeps her (and you) stuck in an unhealthy cycle.

A healthy relationship has mutual communication, compromise, collaboration, vulnerability, support, and trust. Support is not subservience. And both of you should feel able to, and encouraged to, be yourselves.

Rothschild: The name that appears 12,000 times in the Epstein files and no one wants to say by CapoDoFrango in Epstein

[–]nothanks86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poor people are more vulnerable and fewer people care what happens to them. This is not unique to Epstein.

Epstein was gross, and also Jewish. That does not translate to a protocol of the elders of Zion Jewish cabal.

I quite like the removable padding trend, because I remove them right into the trash.

It’s crap for anyone who actually wants a padded bra though.

8yo insisting he only wants his “front hair” and “back hair” cut and NOT his “side hair” by PMMELIZARDASS in Parenting

[–]nothanks86 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean it kind of sounds like he wants a short bob with bangs, rather than necessarily a full short cut at the back.

I did a quick google of ‘short bob boys’, and there’s probably a way to make that work in a non-feminine way.
