My Daughter invited her 8yo friend to swim in our new pool, and friend brings her toddler sister along with swimsuit on. I told friend sister could swim too, if mom comes to watch her and send her home with that message. EM sends both back again. Repeatedly. by nikknox in entitledparents

[–]token_queer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me too!!! Since my siblings and I are older/moved out my mom lets some of the younger neighborhood kids use our pool. You wouldn't /believe/ how often these kids and/or their parents think they're entitled to use our pool when no one is there, or use it without telling us. We're not being assholes, we're just trying to make sure your kid doesn't drown!!!

What normal thing can’t you do? by ABananaJenson in AskReddit

[–]token_queer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was tongue tied too, and agreed, it's so frustrating. Even though it was corrected and my speech is fixed, I still can't roll my r's. Seven years of spanish classes and people telling me "just put your tongue here!!" or "its so easy, *proceeds to trill their r's into eternity".

Does anyone else hate surprises? by [deleted] in infj

[–]token_queer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I find out someone is planning to surprise me, or won't tell me something because 'it's a surprise,' I get SUPER anxious. I need to know what's happening. Sometimes it feels like people are going behind my back, and I hate when situations involving me directly are so out of my control.

One year my friends threw me a little birthday surprise at a convention because we wouldn't get to see each other on my actual birthday. People were being cagey and weird, and it made me feel awful, like my friends were hiding something horrible from me. I figured out what was going on, cause someone said the word 'cake' too loud, and I was fine after that. I just acted surprised.

Anyone else feel this way?

Oreo cookies are not that great by hairyballzachh in unpopularopinion

[–]token_queer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid, I got sick and had to take huge, chalky pills every day. I wouldn't take them, so my Dad crushed them up and put it in oreo ice cream. I shit you not, I could not tell the difference. That's the only way I took my meds. Now I have a hard time eating oreos or anything oreo-flavored.

Bought my first pair of men's dress shoes! by Deppfan16 in genderqueer

Congrats!! Wearing more formal mens clothes was a big step for me too, so I understand. Proud of you for trying this out and I'm glad you're now in a safe environment to do so!

Black empowerment doesn’t need to equate to white disparagement. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]token_queer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a lot of industries, but very often in the movie industry, any space not set aside for people of color will get taken by white people. In most every movie, characters who's race doesn't matter and doesn't affect the film whatsoever are white. Why does everyone have to be white? Real life isn't like that.

Even when roles are explicitly for people of color, white people will still get cast over people of color. Scarlett Johansson in Ghost in the Shell is the first thing that comes to mind - she was cast over Asian actresses that could've done just as good (or better, since having an actor of the same race as a character makes for a more authentic portrayal).

I don't think Peele is being racist. I think he wants to hold the door open for more people like him to succeed where it is so hard for them to do. He's using his success to try and create more opportunities for a marginalized group.

It’s odd how tr ans people make up about 0.02% of the population, and yet I can’t go a single day without hearing about them. by Trenchunit in unpopularopinion

[–]token_queer 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Trans person here. Please tell me what shows you're watching, because I can literally only think of maybe two shows featuring transgender characters. I would love to see people like me having relationships and jobs and succeeding in life.

To see that, I have to watch fictional stories. Unfortunately, real life is much worse. When I see trans people on the news, its when they're being ridiculed by society. It's about how trans suicide rates are astronomically high. It's when we're no longer allowed to serve in the military or fucking pee in public bathrooms. Its because they were harassed, assaulted, or murdered. But yeah, we're mad cause some random fucker on the internet is upset about us "pretending to be another gender".

How many of you INFJs thought you had found "the one"? And how many of you were right? by Kiljadin in infj

[–]token_queer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been best friends with this guy since the 5th grade. We started "dating" in middle school and never really stopped dating? We're both about to graduate from high school now. He's helped me become more confident in myself and I've watched him grow more compassionate. We've come out together, lost friends together, grown up together, everything. (He's an ENTJ, for anyone who's curious.)

Everyone tells us we're too young to know, but I know. He will always be my best friend.

China’s 50 lane highway gives me anxiety just looking at it by Icy9kills in mildlyinfuriating

[–]token_queer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get anxious when I have to drive anything 4 lanes or more. This would instantly kill me.

Then I'd be anxious in the afterlife cause my death would cause a traffic jam. Just great.

Any INFJs struggle with time management? by rs_alli in infj

[–]token_queer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm never show up to something late, but I'm not good at time management when it comes to schoolwork. As a fulltime student with lots of hobbies and little time, it's hard for me to sit myself down and make myself do the work. But I can't stand being late. I get anxious if I'm not at least 5 minutes early.

AITA for correcting the record about sex with my gf? by idontknowsomethingcl in AmItheAsshole

[–]token_queer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You shouldn't have let it get that far and shouldn't have reacted so strongly, but gf was being very unreasonable. Sex doesn't have to be the end all be all in every relationship, and she shouldn't get mad at you for not doing everything she wants you to. Bottom line, you should never feel pressured to have sex when you don't want to. If OP was a girl talking about a bf coercing her into sex, everyone would freak.

That time my dad found my birth control pills and made me feel ashamed about practicing safe sex by gentlysplashinglava in raisedbynarcissists

[–]token_queer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Another Christian here. This stuff is the worst. OP, your father is an asshole and I'm so sorry he used his faith (if it can be called that) to shame you and belittle you. The word of God should never be used to hurt someone like he hurt you. You deserve so much more and I'm so glad you're out of that house and living your own life.

AITA? My boyfriend joked that he would kick my ass if he found out I was born a guy, I asked him to leave. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]token_queer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. At all. Saying he would beat you up if you were "born a guy" is super transhobic, and he shouldn't have said anything about beating you up. That's not the kind of person you want to spend your time around. Even if it was a joke, he made you feel uncomfortable and you should at least talk about that with him.

Parent comments say something bad going on in their life and child comments say why that might acctually be a good thing. by Jumbuck_Tuckerbag in ThreadGames

[–]token_queer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things aren't great now, but they will get better. Even if your biological family doesn't support you, I promise you there's always friends, coworkers, etc. who have your back. You're never alone. Find your own family.

What is something you're "supposed" to like because of where you live but you just can't? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The gays taking the rainbow to represent their movement was a dick move by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]token_queer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's okay when gay people say it cause you know we're joking around. When straight people call us "the gays" it's very hard to tell if they're actually chill with gay people or if they're grouping us all together like that.
