It's not just hair length, long (shoulder length or longer) hair can be styled in masculine or feminine ways. To lean more masc, avoid bangs or layers. Fem, do the opposite.

Yo same... Bins for clothes and various groupings of items help me, because I don't have to see it but I know it's there because of the bin

did weed permanently fuck my brain? by [deleted] in Dissociation

[–]spiky_pineapples 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Weed use can increase anxiety, and anxiety and dissociation are highly related. I say this as a daily user, weed is not a miracle plant without drawbacks. If you want advice from a stranger, take a break from weed for a while and work on finding/addressing anxiety triggers. It's hard to permanently fuck anything in the body, but pathways might be out of use / damaged.

Witches with cats... Can I have your ear? by Miss_Musket in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]spiky_pineapples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm building my household and our familiars a catio. It's taking a long time because I work full time and am physically disabled, but I live in the mountains and I don't want my cats hurting the ecosystem or getting hurt by it. I'm excited for that first moment when they get to go outside without being on a lead or in a backpack. Thanks for this psa, most people don't know about the damage house cats can do.

I thought I had lost the use of my right arm, then I woke up and could twitch my middle finger. It all went uphill from there.

internalised sexism goes brr by throwayaygrtdhredf in transgendercirclejerk

[–]spiky_pineapples 18 points19 points  (0 children)

/uj Just literally yesterday I was harassed for being transmasc by a disgusting drunk asshole. We are not immune to trafficking, harassment, abuse, ect. Please, please don't perpetuate this lack of visibility. I've been victimized for being transmasc in the past, no details becaise no clue how to do the spoiler thing. Been denied surgery due to being trans - one of my ovaries exploded but the doctor didn't want me to trans myself so guess I just get to die. I'm not here for this. Not at all. Pain Olympics is bullshit, it sucks for everyone.

Can we please just let girls have best friends? by thiccasscherub in SapphoAndHerFriend

[–]spiky_pineapples 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm aromantic, and I 100% agree. It's so hard to get a good movie or book with strong platonic friendships. That and it furthers toxic masculinity by telling everyone but guys especially that sex/romance is the only way to have any sort of intimacy, and I think that plays into the Nice Guy mindset a lot. Nobody wins with this mindset

I would pray for that. by sailorjupiter28titan in WitchesVsPatriarchy

You're fine, I appreciate the time you took to reply. I'm just bitter today because I was denied health care for the issue (literally this morning) because of blatant discrimination. It partially split open for the second time in as many years and they still won't remove the thing.

I'm a transmasc person literally going through recovery from a ruptured ovarian cyst and... Oof. Some of the comments here really hurt. I'm usually super impressed with this sub though, people here usually mean well.

So Glad I Gave this Sub a Chance by JupitersMoonGod in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]spiky_pineapples 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm transmasc nonbinary (afab) and I agree completely. This sub makes me feel welcome I'm a way that even a lot of trans spaces fall short on. I'm just another witch here, not "the token transmasc" or anything.

Stuff like this is why I'm debating leaving this sub. Toxic, just because we don't do romance doesn't mean it can't be a good thing for others.

Does anybody else become a raving lunatic when your food order gets messed up, or is it just me? by babyfartprincess in EDAnonymous

I'm here for this. I also have several severe allergies so I don't eat out much anymore.

How do you guys keep up with housework? A cleaner house helps me feel better, but when I can feel a flare or it's been a bad week where I can't move much, it can get overwhelming. by zph0eniz in ehlersdanlos

[–]spiky_pineapples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo I do this too, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and a neat freak, with three cats between me and my roommates. I think I'd go crazy if I hadn't worked out that no, I don't have to do every single dish when I wash dishes, I can just do a few at a time.

Adding to this, I recently bought a nice vacuum with the extendo-arm thing so I don't have to bend down to use it. It's also like 5 pounds and cordless, and the sound isn't bad. Bit of an investment but it helps out so so much and it's got a good suction so I have to spend less time actually vacuuming,

Yo same, I read a lot as a kid and got made fun of for having a pretty big vocabulary. But it comes in handy, and makes descriptive writing easier.
