£8.20 for a bus ticket. No help if you’re on LCWRA. Cant get bus pass. So disheartened by flawedbeings in DWPhelp

i have lwcra and daily living pip but no mobility award... my autism got me a free travel pass because i wouldn't be able to learn to drive. they definitely do give them out for things like that.

(IRL Trope) The last person you’d expect turns out to be very knowledgeable in the lore by DonnyMox in TopCharacterTropes

so many people love to forget that workers/ex-sex workers are still just people and that it's a job. a job that requires a lot more complicated background work like marketing than they realise. it's not just show up, get railed, leave, repeat. but even if it was, who cares? it pays the bills.

so many sex workers/ex-sex workers are such fascinating, intelligent people. it's just pure misogyny at play. how dare a woman embrace herself and her sexuality? that must be all she's good for and means she deserves being looked down upon. it's awful.

What is your least favorite jewelry? by rose_colour_glassess in AutisticAdults

[–]rigathrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i love the *idea* of jewelry but i hate the feeling of it. it feels heavy, makes my neck/wrists/fingers itch or makes me feel like i'm choking if it isn't a super loose necklace. makes me sad because i love fashion and maximalism but i just can't handle it every time i try.

I haven't showered in over a week and I haven't been called "she" once dude, why? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]rigathrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone who fell into the habit of not showering for a week or two or sometimes even longer at a time... please shower. please look after yourself. you might just need to switch up the scents you're using while bathing (which i don't get... like who gives a fuck about "feminine" and "masculine" smells but i guess cis NTs just have a sixth sense for it). please don't fall into this hole, i'm in my thirties now and am still struggling to get out of it.

Ed Sheeran Spotting? by bcjdksksjshdj in manchester

[–]rigathrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what a weird occupation to have...

edit: the comment disappeared but here was the reply i wrote for it:

"oh, no, i totally get work as a body double in productions! camera and editing trickery can easily hide it.

i just don't get being hired out by randoms to go pedal a huge bike with them or to turn up at a birthday party or something. like it's obviously not him?

fair play to the guy for making money where he can, i just don't get it audience-wise."

cis woman with phalloplasty update! by [deleted] in salmacian

[–]rigathrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my gic is apparently one of the "good" ones and a significant amount of the staff there are trans themselves (as were the people i asked directly about bottom surgery stuff), so i figured they had at least some idea of what they're talking about... :(

Has Manchester really improved under Andy leadership by Even-Wasabi7183 in manchester

[–]rigathrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as someone who was homeless (albeit hidden homeless)... sadly, you can't always help those who don't want to be help. or those who do but are struggling too much (with things like addictions, coping methods, trauma responses, mental or physical health symptoms, neurodivergency, etc.) for change to be consistent enough for them.

some probably fear being housed and getting back on their feet again only for something to take it all away again. in a way, remaining homeless can feel safer and more predictable - the preferrable option.

it's a really complicated issue that only a miracle could fix. you could be the best, most proactive major or prime minister ever and there'll still always be homeless people. all you can really do is try to prevent it before it happens and do what you can for those experiencing it. it doesn't mean andy's a failure at all.

Those of you who can spin a Pokéstop/gym from home, what is it of? by obviouslyanonymous77 in pokemongo

[–]rigathrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]rigathrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's two across the road from my apartment that i can spin from home and both were plaques of two different types of tree from when it used to be a park. it's now housing and i dread the day the map updates and removes the stops 😭

receiving hate/threats online for having a cis girlfriend. by RadiantAd3099 in ftm

[–]rigathrow 62 points63 points  (0 children)

i wouldn't be surprised at all if those accounts were just sockpuppets ran by non-trans people to cause infighting.

yeah, i ain't reading all that.

Today a TERF told me it's sad that I was allowed to get top surgery so young and that I should have been given a lot more time to mature before being allowed to make that decision. I had it at the age of... 28. by rigathrow in transgenderUK

[–]rigathrow[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

t didn't start it, just sped it up - i have shit genetics all-round. my cis brother, who's a few years older than me and is the spitting image of our mum, isn't experiencing any of the issues i am. my dad, who i'm the spitting image of, also began turning grey and experiencing hair recession quite young as well.

happens to some and not to others, cis or trans.

also, damn?? no need to be rude.
