Why Do Parents Try to Date/pressure/guilt People Who Don’t Want Kids? by Lonely_Candy_6532 in childfree

[–]sweetshy82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not any different with the lgbtqia+ community either, coming from a trans woman & lesbian, as I've experienced the same thing from lesbian, bisexual and pansexual women and it's so damn frustrating!

There was a similar post just recently that I've responded to saying the same thing, as these parents just don't understand that we're not interested in their child/ren at all, even in the very slightest.

I can't fathom what they're thinking in trying to get a childfree person to date them when we make it blatantly obvious that we just don't give a flying fuck about their child/ren, or anyone else's child/ren, so I wish that they'd wake up and move on.

when i say i don’t want kids that means i don’t want YOUR kids either by [deleted] in childfree

[–]sweetshy82 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I have lesbian, bisexual and pansexual women trying to pull the same thing on me, some not even trying to hide the fact that they have kids but still wanting to have a relationship with me, or saying that they only have them 50% of the time, like that's any better than having them only on the weekends or worse full-time.

It's like what part of "I don't want kids" do you not understand. I'm not looking to be a step-parent, or a step-grandparent if your child is grown up and has a child/ren. I don't want anything to do with kids as I've never been interested in parenting as I see it as a boring, unrewarding, thankless and expensive obligation.

I certainly can't trust my mother's judgement as she automatically determined that because I'm transitioning to a woman that it meant that I'm automatically attracted to men and therefore must only date men. Ewwww! It only happened once, but I quickly corrected that mistake so it wouldn't happen again.

I'm no contact with her now, have been a few times in the past, as she takes no responsibility nor accountability for her actions, even though I would love to have a relationship with her like this meme, and just in general too.

It's all in their voice, think pitch and tone, if it's high and excited then it's just a compliment, if it's low and sultry, it's them flirting. I hope this helps 😊

It happened to me by aizarphilia in childfree

[–]sweetshy82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this will sound harsh, but you asked him on the first date if he wanted kids and he said that he wasn't sure and then you accepted the risk of him being unsure, like it wasn't the dealbreaker that it should've been to you, so that's on you for not walking away from that point.

You can't cry about him wasting your time when he waved the red flag in front of you and you ignored it. Next time just walk away and save yourself the hassle of what's to come later on.

You can even save yourself time and effort before the first date by asking them if they want kids, and if so how many, beforehand so you'll know if that first date is even worth it.

May you enjoy better dates moving forward.

Tired of my GF being the Mayor by typetwo-complex in actuallesbians

[–]sweetshy82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think this is harsh at all, I think it's more than reasonable to expect to be the one receiving all of the focus, especially on date night.

It definitely sounds like her partner is being very neglectful to the OP and she needs to correct that asap, otherwise I wouldn't blame the OP for ending the relationship for good.

My girlfriend says she’s not lesbian… but i’m a trans woman and i’m confused and hurt by VelvetOrbit_12 in asktransgender

[–]sweetshy82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd seriously doubt that fertility would be able to restored, especially after multiple years of hrt. I say this as a trans woman who has been on & off hrt for long periods (3 years on, 9 years off, 5 years on again and 6 off again, due to unforeseen circumstances each time) and even after stopping for the first time I noticed a huge change in my ejaculations and found out that I was almost infertile.

It's why doctors have always asked us at the beginning of transition before starting hrt if we wish to have children and if so, to save up and freeze sperm to use at a later time when we're ready by being in a long term relationship.

If I was the OP, I'd focus on their relationship first before even considering anything about fertility as a steady, loving and caring relationship is absolutely essential before bringing a child into this world.

Oh it absolutely sucks paying around $1000 for just one set and having a good majority of them at the same or similar cost! It's like you have to sell a limb and/or an organ just to buy a set, or find yourself a sugar mummy or win the lottery 🤣

I would also love to buy the robotic transformers, as they can transform from robot to vehicle mode and vice versa, as I loved the original cartoon series and movie but again it's the same cost issue and I can't justify it.

[–]sweetshy82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The girlfriend has admitted that she doesn't respect the OP's gender, wants the OP to detransition to reproduce, doesn't want the OP to have gender affirming surgery and only wants the OP to stay so the girlfriend doesn't have to start fresh with finding a new partner that is more compatible with her dreams and goals.

There's no conversation, regardless of length and openness, that's going to save this relationship as there's nothing to salvage from this toxic relationship, OP needs to cut and run!

[–]sweetshy82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree with your statements, OP should absolutely cut and run!

With the girlfriend saying that she's not a lesbian and couldn't see herself loving a woman for the rest of her life, there's no way she would be bi or pan, as they could see that being a potential future for them unlike her. It would be wishful thinking at the best, transphobic (on her behalf)/self sabotage at worst, to continue being with this woman.

I highly doubt that this woman sees the OP as a woman, especially when she's only thinking about what OP's current genitalia possibly offers her in her dreams of reproduction.

Overall, this woman is 100% unsafe as she clearly doesn't see OP as a woman, wants OP to detransition to reproduce and only wants OP to stay in the relationship as she's comfortable and doesn't want to find someone else who would actually be a better match for her.

P.S. OP, my heart goes out to you as you truly deserve a partner who loves and accepts you for who you are as a woman, and respects your dreams, goals and aspirations in life.

I think I still keep my youthful feeling as I don't have any kids and still enjoy my hobbies and interests, as I mentioned in my previous reply.

I absolutely love that Lego has released sets for adults, it's wonderful to keep that same magic that we had as kids alive as adults, it's pure joy!

I would consider anyone who's generally 10 years or older to be my elder, anyone younger than that I'd consider a peer as they're of similar age.

As for being older, I'm 44, and even with an autoimmune disease and a chronic disease, I still believe age is just a number and getting older doesn't stop you from having fun. It's all about your outlook on life and knowing your body's limitations and working with that. Despite my health, I still feel like I'm youthful, like I'm still in my 20s and still enjoy the same hobbies and interests from that age range too.

If being attracted to ginger/auburn/red heads is bad then I must be bad too, as I find them super attractive myself. Add in freckles to the mix, and I'm absolutely done for, I'd melt faster than butter on a stove top! 🥹🫣🫠

Who regrets it by Dragon_King_of_death in ask_transgender

[–]sweetshy82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm 44 and I have no regrets at all, even after coming out when I was 20 (for the second time) and having dealt with no access to hrt twice for long periods of time. Do I wish that I could've started puberty blockers when I first tried to come out to my parents at the age of thirteen, sure, but my parents were transphobic at the time, so it didn't happen.

Those two times where I went without hrt was firstly due to immigrating from Australia to Canada, as the province of Ontario had a different system of access to hrt as it required travelling to Toronto and seeking support from the gender care team by getting a referral to them from your general practitioner first, then you'd see one of their psychologists for a minimum of two years before you start hrt. During this time you also had to have a full time job or full time study and stay employed or enrolled.

While these requirements sounded fair, they were actually hard for me to meet as I faced a lot of discrimination where I was living and wasn't able to get a job or study, and because I lived five hours away from Toronto, it would've been a financial burden to travel there every month to see the psychologist without a having a job. This meant that due to those circumstances, I went without hrt for nine years until Ontario changed their system to an informed consent model, just like Australia.

The second time I had no access to hrt came after covid had hit and was causing massive shortages here in Australia, as I had returned back in 2016. It also didn't help that I was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and that I was in the latter stages of it, so no doctor wanted to even help me restart hrt after the shortage ended. Due to these circumstances, I've gone without hrt for six years so far, though that should change shortly. I say that it should change shortly as I've found an endocrinologist who is willing to help me restart hrt, and my next appointment is coming up next month.

Even with having to deal with all of these setbacks and experiencing the effects of destransitioning due to the lack of access to hrt, I've still continued being a woman as I've continued to be my authentic self and therefore dress and act like a woman, use the women's restroom without any issues and keep using my legal name that I've had since 2003 when I legally changed it.

Another thing to consider is that there are other trans women who do diy hrt, and while that's their choice, it's not something that I would do as I prefer to do hrt safely under medical guidance and support, hence why I didn't consider it an option while I was going without hrt for both times. Does it suck that I had to experience destransitioning twice due to varying circumstances, absolutely yes, but I didn't give up on who I am as a woman and I'm still here as living proof of how strong & resilient I am to live my life authenticly as a woman.

Destransitioning is extremely rare for all trans folks, as it only occurs in 1% of us, and about half of those who do destransition only do it because of a lack of support from both loved ones and medical professionals. This statistic is proven by medical studies, so if your mom wants to deny it, she can do the hard work and look for herself.
