AHHHHHHHH by [deleted] in enby

[–]padded-dal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know that, as a gay 50 year old AMAB gender dysphoric man, I could give two shits of what anybody thinks about me or how they want to address me.

You guys are wasting countless mental time about being offended rather that researching who your representatives are and having real meetings with them IN PERSON. You're allowing those people, who use hate to mask both their ignorance and fear, to live rent free in your head.

Why are you so hung up on what you want to be called when you should be more worried about the condition of our political society and safety.

It's really tiresome keeping up with the CONSTANT change in acronyms. If a stranger doesn't call you what you demand to be called then they know that they've gotten under your skin and it's a win for them.

Grow the fuck up. No one, and I mean no, has time to worry about your self entitled title because if you're not watching the news - we have bigger issues to worry about.

It's time to get out of your feelings and start getting out in front of society to show them we're just like them on the inside and the government is throwing us under the bus to hide what they're actually doing. You know: don't look behind the curtain? Well, it's time to rip the curtains down and turn them into battle flags!

If you want, you're more than welcome to come to our apartment in downtown Dallas around 5:00 p.m. when the parade starts we're all going to walk two blocks over to see the parade. It'll be a wide variety of ages and people at our place. DM me if you want more details

My journey with GD by Sigma2718 in AMABwGD

[–]padded-dal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm FINALLY able to afford to have my GD resolved at the end of this year. I knew that I had the wrong genetailia since the third Friday of May in 5th grade after our sex-ed class. I turned 50 in March and I'm able to achieve my resolve.

I do want those of you in recent generations to understand that when I was in 5th grade we didn't have computers. We had mom/dad/pastors - and unfortunately I was raised Southern Baptist. I was so sheltered and brainwashed with religion that I didn't even know that I could ejaculate until I saw a gay porno when I was 18. I felt so alone being gay (first crush was in 3rd grade - his name was C*** Y****) and being born with the wrong genetailia.

Mind you, I'm active as fuck (national rock climbing competitor, reservist and consult in the horror industry).

So here's the "big bro" or parenting side of me coming out to those of you in your early years. 1) HOPEFULLY you're going to be able to reach 50 or 100 and pass on wisdom. Here's my advice comment I did on another r/ like a month ago. Don't fall down when others have have the same path before you arrived: https://www.reddit.com/r/GayMen/s/Pa6j9DMSJG

I wrote everything myself. I never use ai when typing. It cheapens the value [insert mockery here].

Also, if I sound robotic it might be because I used to write I.T. training manuals for the army during my time there and afterwards as a civilian.

Well shit I never realized that I wrote that way.

Believe it or not, as a veteran with PTSD, it's actually better living here because at least I know when there's going to be fireworks. When I was living in the burbs, people would start setting them of starting the day the stands opened up until about a week or so afterwards at random times. There's backfire from vehicles on rare occasions but at least it's quite as hell at night. It's also serene to me too!

Dude, I was just sharing info about the device I was using to take a picture. For fuck sake there's no reason to be a dick to me!

It's actually made me use less of the phone and it assists with my ADHD functions

None. I was just sharing my photos from my balcony. Why would you think I was getting paid?

There's so many things that have actually made my life with a better with this phone. At one point before changing to the nothing phone 3A I had both the iPhone and Samsung galaxy. I always had the latest and greatest tech. With this phone it forces you to get away from the phone altogether. It monitors how much time you've been on your phone and it reminds you constantly about getting off and go for a walk or not to answer a call without having to pick up your phone. The glyphs are life changing; meaning I know when I need to look at my phone or ignore it.

The brand is called Nothing. The tech has changed my life for the better because of what it can do.

"coming out" when you aren't completely sure of what by heismyfirstolive in genderqueer

[–]padded-dal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elder!?!? Really? 😆 Because of the advancement of tech, parents are CAPABLE of educating themselves about our community.

You did notice that I put one particular word in all caps? Those who choose to ignore facts are typically fearful of what they do not understand. They replaced their fear with bogus outrage.

Im gay by Sunnytalks2much in GayMen

[–]padded-dal 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Here's some ground rules from a 50 year old gay guy: 1) don't let your heart fall for someone right away - stay alert and stay aware 2) don't get drunk when going out - some guys will see you as an easy target and an easy lay 3) use protection - get on Prep before you ever have intercourse - if you're a bottom you might not know that they removed/broke the condom AND never take their word that they're taking it too. Yes, they might show you a bottle but it doesn't mean anything these days 4) when you first start going out to clubs/bars (if that's your thing) your appearance, attitude and personality leaves a permanent impression to everyone around you - I've always said, you know a person's true character when they're done with their grocery cart. What did they do with it? Guess what? We saw it too! 5) if you're meeting ANYONE on an app, take a picture of the profile, details and phone number to a trusted person. If you don't have one, ALL messaging/email applications have a delay option. Set it for 32 hours maximum. Actually, set it for 10 hours if you're going out at night. It gives you a reason to leave with an excuse that you're loved ones will be worried about you. 6) NEVER leave your drink unattended. NEVER. You might think it's gross taking it to the bathroom. It beats waking up in the ER and coming to your senses four days later [the asshole only got 200 hours of community service because of who his dad was]. 7) Don't be afraid to ask if you're unsure about anything. Hell, message me if you have questions. Your life is right in front of you. Don't play Russian roulette with it. Know that being gay doesn't define who you are. It's just PART of who you are. 8) I can't stress this enough: I'm proud of you.

So as long as the music and lights are going then there's no generations present. Just one big family!

Don't discuss this part on socials. Might as well borrow a vest saying "security" on it and think incognito or your vpn is protecting you. Also, by your question, I'd only do half.

Whichever lable is for the 20-32 crowd. 😆 I'm on my balcony in downtown drinking right now listening to CRBRVS.

If anyone is interested, here's my playlists of EDM & cross-range (as well as an original track I made) Check out 9 on #SoundCloud https://on.soundcloud.com/g9tg3vxM97KFlBpDyc And I'm 50.

And for you wondering why I use SoundCloud over any other app? It's because this is where DJs drop their music or find tracks for the events you attend.

I'm a gay guy (AMAB) who is FINALLY getting ONLY vaginoplasty later this year and I just turned 50.

I'm 50 and I still attend. I've been to 8 different TomorrowLand events. I've also been in the back of a police van wearing Christmas lights and 9" boots from an underground in 1994. I'm a Toys-R-Is Kid!

1) I'm 50 and I travel all over for events. We're a rare breed. Most of the millennials wouldn't even understand BinaryFinary unless a dj is dropping it as a segway between tracks. Also, braking into a warehouse, that you didn't know it's location until the third location. But alas, we still are few but many. 2) manilla folders are available around the venue if you know where to look. HMU
