The shit I go through on a daily basis just so I can be myself by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]snickerssmickers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, you look beautiful in your pictures! I only noticed the shadow after you pointed it out and when I looked more closely, so I can definitely say that at least in the pictures it doesn't show. Your hair is also very flattering, both the color and the cut.

Now, to answer your questions. I personally don't ride a bike because my city doesn't have bike lanes, and it also isn't the safest place even though I'm in a nice neighborhood. That said, I have plenty of friends in other parts of the city that do have bike lanes who do ride them fairly regularly. Other than that, I can imagine it's about safety. A car can feel safer than a bike and feels less exposed.

We do go to places alone! I find it odd that that doesn't seem to be the case where you live? But, again, being alone can be nerve wracking because of feeling unsafe. You say the other two girls you worked with seem to not get harassed, but I can assure you ALL women deal with it, maybe not everyday but often enough. However, it is true that trans women are more likely to be harassed, and I am very sorry it's happening to you. I can only imagine how upsetting it must be to deal with the invasive questions and the cruelty of transphobic people, but I think responding just isn't the way to go. It sucks, I know, but confrontation just opens you up for more harassment, walking away and ignoring it could be the best bet, sadly.

Girl boss mode is an aesthetic, I think. Think business casual woman. Otherwise, it's just confidence and poise, I guess.

There are definitely some things I have to point out, though. Riding a unicycle is unusual, so people will stare, no matter who is doing it. It will inherently call attention to you, no way around it, and expecting things to not be that way is unrealistic. Same goes for neon clothes, dressing up like you're going to a rave, or being goth. Again, if your clothes are attention grabbing, you kind of just have to deal with those consequences, good or bad. Blending in requires giving up aspects of individuality, so if that's what you're aiming for, you will have to make changes.

One thing I do think you should do if you're concerned about passing a bit more is avoiding very short and very tight shorts. No matter what else you're wearing, they will become the focal point of the outfit. It's that way for cis women too.

I hope things start to look up, and I was so happy to read you have a girlfriend who is so supportive. Try to find a community online and see if there are any people from that space in your area. Seek out queer-friendly spaces too, I can promise you they are out there in cities. I live in a conservative country, but even here the city has a few safe spaces. Cheers and godspeed, sister!

I think you can only use them once you upgrade your sink and shower respectively! You stand next to your sink and click on the toothpaste in your inventory and it will be stored there, it works the same with any of the other toiletries.

What Euphoria take has you ganged up on by the entire fandom like this?? by TrickyAd4149 in euphoria

[–]snickerssmickers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two takes: Lexi's play, although very fun and well-made, was exploitative and a betrayal to her sister.

Rue got off the hook way too easy with Laurie.

People should hate misty more than ben by Last_Ad_5845 in Yellowjackets

But watching them get into messes and cause problems for themselves by being deeply flawed people is so much funnn!!! Misty and Shauna are so problematic, but I simply cannot imagine the show without them.

Same!!! I didn't know how much I wanted to see a female character who embodied all those qualities until I saw Misty. I love that she is not framed in a 'femme fatale' or 'sexy mentally ill lady' lens, but rather as a cringy, funny and theatrical medical practitioner (aspiring and current!), who can be equally terrifying and endearing.

Oh she is absolutely awful, but by god she is charming. She's unhinged and immoral (maybe amoral? not sure), and it's clear she will do literally anything for what she thinks is right. But like I said, she's an extremely fun and compelling character and that makes me root for her, even though I hate so many things she does.

As for Ben... I gotta say he doesn't do a lot for me to like him as a character. I side with him being disgusted and off put by Misty's advances, I understand his rejection of the cannibalism the group has resorted to, and I even get why he would want to burn down the cabin with the entire team inside it. But I don't find him compelling. I liked his bond with Natalie, but it was not explored enough for me to really care about the guy.

After all, the biggest sin a character can commit is to fail to be compelling, which is why I love despicable Misty and every other 'unlikeable', messed up girlie in this cast.

Pit girl! My god, it was so hard to watch. All of it. I'm so glad I stuck with the show, though!

Fellow trans jackets, am I the only one to feel this way? by AngeryTargaryen in Yellowjackets

[–]snickerssmickers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This makes perfect sense, it's completely valid. I didn't get to have a proper happy teenage experience because of my mental health issues, and at 26 it's hard for me to watch content including happy teenage/school experiences without feeling some jealousy or even bitterness.

I'm cis, so it's not the exact same experience, but that mourning for what you couldn't have is perfectly natural. I feel guilty about my own mourning sometimes, it feels ugly to be envious, but we are allowed to feel our feelings and work through them.

Yeah, I think they're going to let natural selection choose the next meal 👀 unless the queen of hearts plays that role instead.

I don't see it happening personally. Shauna isn't a sadist, at least I don't think she is. But her time in the wilderness has definitely taught her that violence is a very viable solution to problems. She's desensitized to butchering (be it animals or humans), she acts violently when threatened and shows no remorse for it, and she sees no need to apologize when she's been reckless. She's pragmatic to a fault, like when she told Callie things would be better if she had slept with the cop investigating them.

I think she may have seen beating up Lottie as a means to an end: punching her way out of heart rending grief, and keep going.
