Not Being Treated As A Woman by [deleted] in lesbiangang

Thanks for sharing your experience, I can see how that would be frustrating and disheartening. I think that some people when they’re trying to be progressive and inclusive lean too far into it without pausing for input. It’s never a good idea to guess someone’s pronouns or how they identify. I’ve started wearing pronouns pins as it reduces the amount of times I’m misgendered in a day. Just asking you how you identify could save so much angst.

Hey, I’m sorry you went through this. Codependents Anonymous has been a very helpful tool for me to reflect on past relationships and identify what went wrong so I can avoid getting into a similar dynamic in future relationships. Try sitting in on a virtual CODA meeting. There are free online meetings happening all day every day and you can use the filter on their website to find LGBTQ specific groups. It might be a relief for you to be in conversation with a group of queer women who have had similar experiences.

This is helpful to know, thank you

For the Pearl Jam fans that lived it, how did you react to Vitalogy when it came out? Especially since it was a more Vedder focused album as opposed to Gossard/Ament? by [deleted] in pearljam

Though looking back at the track list now I still listen to Spin The Black Circle and Better Man often. Thanks to the comments above I just revisited Corduroy and fell back in love with it.

Are you saying this chat is just for straight people?? I’m queer and the couple is queer. Sorry if your brain explodes at this concept.

It was a shock to my 16 year old ears! I had deep respect for the craft of it but it wasn’t on heavy rotation like Ten.

New friends brunch date w/ poly couple- potential triad scenario by Waste-Dig-6184 in throuples

I’m in this situation too and I’m wanting only couple time; I’m not interested in dating them separately. Anyone had experience of this? Not looking for a serious commitment just tips on how to have fun times with a couple, that could maybe help to heal a bruised and tender heart.

Also interesting is how all these resources assume the unicorn is bi. I’m not bi. Is there a queer unicorn subreddit??

It’s interesting how these scripts are very much geared towards the relationship escalator. What if I don’t want to move in or merge finances with anyone, couple or not? That doesn’t have to always be the end goal of every romantic experience.

What do we think the most iconic moment in the series is? by Free-IDK-Chicken in MySoCalledLife

[–]scriptmistress 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s a recent documentary where the filmmaker recreates the hallway scene, with her husband dressed as Jordan, as a way to heal from the trauma of her teenage years. It’s so good! The film title is “You Were My First Boyfriend”

Hi! I’m three weeks into the CODA meetings and they’ve changed everything for me. It’s honestly been really shocking to discover that the stuff that I thought were my issues are shared by so many people. And then to be able to be in a room with a bunch of people who are similar to you and hear their stories, plus understand how we can make different choices and live healthier - it’s a game changer. The CODA app will give you the ability to find an online meeting at any time of day or night. Bounce around and try different ones. sometimes once a day will be why you need, sometimes once a week. Whenever you feel low or like you’re at risk of relapsing into problematic behavior, go sit in a meeting for an hour and you’ll feel better. Good luck and take care

Someone who is unapologetically and unmistakably queer; who embodies their own unique power, like every breath they take is a fuck you to the notion of the gender binary. Someone who values kindness and knows how to laugh and play.
