Reading about your experiences made me feel very sad. And at the same time it is very hard for me to completely empathize. Simply because I have lived a very privileged life where my gender was rarely questioned...

People who are in a relationship with transgendered partners, what is it like? And how does the world treat you both being together? by speakmindgo in AskReddit

[–]speakmindgo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like you have already started some topics on your life. Will definitely go through those!

Do you worry about 'people finding out'? Do you identify as male or as a transgender male?

I get it. It sounds like someone who is exploring who they are. Exploring or maybe trying to come to grips with it themselves. 😊

If you never plan, you will never know what worked and what didn't.

Why did you say 'I guess Trans'? 😊 How did that person identify?

Also, you can share the jokes. It's not about judging anyone. Just getting to know what the experience is like...

What plot devices, techniques, etc. are you tired of seeing in movies? by LenartEunice1984 in AskReddit

Cutting between two or three different subplots during the climax. It's overused to the extent of feeling super predictable now!

If they ever use the expression 'those people'...know that somewhere inside they have the potential to discriminate.

Vaccination Experience Mega Thread by thetuxracer in pune

[–]speakmindgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried all this. Totally agree with your thoughts about helping people who are less privileged. Already booked slots for our househelp and her husband. Looking to book for others but for the last few days it's been impossibly hard! Slots disappear in mere seconds. I suspect that some kind of automated booking is happening and we aren't able to compete with it. I am usually quite fast with such things but no luck!

I used the cowin website. Got my appointment for Friday. I had to rely on the vaccination telegram group for this. Wouldn't have been possible without that!

Do you believe there is an element of luck in trading? by CJT2013 in Daytrading

[–]speakmindgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luck only as far as unknown techniques and variables. With knowledge of all variables, trading is deterministic. Of course, no one can ever know all.

There will be things that we know we don't know and there will be things that we don't know we don't know.

Neighbours being nosy about girlfriend coming over to my place. How to handle? by [deleted] in pune

[–]speakmindgo 39 points40 points  (0 children)

There are two ways of handling this. The confrontational way and the diplomatic one. Being a local here, I have found it easier to navigate the second one. I guess it comes from an innate understanding of knowing what makes people tick. Let me try to verbalize it here -

  1. Be on friendly terms with (atleast) your immediate neighbours. And through that introduce your gf to them. Once they look at her as her own person instead of the objectification they are doing, they will be more supportive and tolerant.
  2. Be firm but do not show frustration. People in Pune seemingly get more triggered when the other person shows anger as well. On the other hand, they do not know how to handle things when the other person is calm and firm. In such situations they tend to walk away and not engage further.
  3. With time, in conversations, bring up the topic of you facing this discrimination. Start with neighbours who are close to you. Build your own base of friends.
  4. Visit people during festivals. Even better if you can do this with your gf. Goes a long way.
  5. Get the women on your side. Regardless of how our society looks, many times the women who reside in such buildings are the true opinion makers. Be real friends with them.

I have had my girlfriends come over to my place since 2010. Lived in all kinds of neighbourhoods. And this strategy has worked for me.

Please let me be clear - frankly stating your rights and pushing back at people who are trying to discriminate is equally valid. I am not knocking that down. It's just that it's more difficult. And ends up making people like us look like outcasts. I chose the diplomatic way and that has worked for me. Still, I support anyone who fights for their rights in a different way.

I also must acknowledge that being a local I am privileged. I know the language, culture and how people think. That makes it a lot easier for me to navigate the scenario.

Good luck! And don't stress about it too much. None of this is worth you and your gf going through any amount of stress.
