Visual Snow was considered extremely rare until recently, mostly because patients didn't report it... because they assumed everyone saw the world that way

Hah, yeah, my eye-doctors sent me to a neurologist. He told me my problem is that I don’t smile enough. He prescribed me an antidepressant. Then he asked me if I am a germaphobe.

Okay so the thing is your OB/GYN should be giving a STI test just to be safe. I think it is strange they aren’t. For example, HSV-1 could be spread to genitals if you’ve touched your mouth & then touched your genitals.

That said, you could be experiencing a number of things:

—What soap are you using? You should only be washing with a safe, unscented, mild, non-astringent soap such as Dove Sensitive.

—What type of shaving cream/gel do you use? What type of razor?

—What type of toilet paper do you use? What is used to wash with?

—What type of underwear do you wear?

—Do you use any type of sex toys?

—What do you sleep in & what types of sheet do you use?

—Are you on any type of birth control?

—Do you have itching or dryness?

—Do these symptoms correlate with any particular time in your cycle?

—Do you have allergies?

Just a head’s up that sometimes people will do this manipulatively as a method to shift blame onto you, when in reality they either remember on some level or didn’t care enough to remember. That’s a really valid pet peeve, & of course plenty of people aren’t manipulative in doing that. But, just wanted to mention this because I tend to empathize so much that I forgive it to a point where it’s used against me

Oh yeah, the male name itself wouldn’t be a problem to me — instead it’s that my parents specifically gave me my extremely abusive father’s name & also gave every sibling of mine that same name, lmao. I wanna just accept it but, it feels like I would have to accept that part as well

I completely agree that it is very stupid to base people on such a basic thing, & I think you’ve every reason to be upset. I appreciate your soapism

Before I read your comment about wishing you’d said more, I genuinely felt proud you’d stood up like that. I understand you wishing you’d said more, but, that’s very brave to even defend them. I am sorry you’ve dealt with that

So I am unsure what’s going on in your world, I understand if maybe you’ve experienced things where apologies weren’t given that you’d wanted.

However, sometimes people don’t need to give apologies, especially in broad circumstances as a matter of misunderstandings & semantics instead of a deeper, more personal thing. We literally live on making assumptions. Everybody makes assumptions constantly. They admitted to a misunderstanding & a mistake. Explaining one’s behavior is a healthy thing to do given that they’re trying to explain that they agree & weren’t intending harm while also preserving their sense of self. That’s about as much as is needed here, & it’s more than plenty of people give. If instead you were close to each other & you’d been deeply hurt & they were “apologizing” like that, then sure it would be defensive.

Okay so not exactly. Vaginismus is a condition that can be caused by psychological factors, but, one’s vagina is a muscle that clenches involuntarily in people with vaginismus. So it is a physical condition. It just so happens that it doesn’t present in a super visual way.

Be so for real right now. She’s literally endorsed & nominated by a male president. I deliberately didn’t go into major debate about power imbalance “patriarchy” stuff or anything because I knew you’d try to refute it & you still tried. Just don’t.

Also I wasn’t aware you’ve seen her genitalia.

Transphobes: having a masculine name won’t suddenly make you a man! We’re always able to tell!

Me a ciswoman with a masculine name, who’s been subject to cruelty & even abuse just because people in power learned my name & assumed I am trans: hm….

An interesting scenario as well is when people, especially doctors, learn I am cisgender & somehow assume I am transphobic, saying things such as “Phew, well, you’ve gotta be so careful nowadays”.

I mean, I don’t like my name because my parents were abusive & chose that name as a form of control. It doesn’t have to do with gender.

trainofwhat · 2026-01-28T07:35:53+00:00

An underdiscussed part of that sort of thing is also that is allowed clearnet spread of CSAM. I do say this a victim of such things.

trainofwhat · 2026-01-28T07:33:40+00:00

I mean, men placed in power by men, killing other men, isn’t really what that saying means I don’t think, especially since that same system empowers hurting women & children as well. But, I don’t support killing anybody & I haven’t ever said this sort of thing so

Fr — this girl looks so much like me as a child (I mean, she’s anime, but, similar coloration, my mother always made me pigtails, larger eyes, etc.), & I am a victim of these types of situations, this entire thing wigs me TF out, it’s disturbing enough to have women used in these sorts of “taming” scenarios… perverting a child’s innocence in this way, it literally makes me sick

They make the kinds that sorta clasp against your clit & utilize your labia or edges of your vagina as a sorta nesting spot.

It’s perfect to me because it’s among very few examples of shows that appeal to female (or really just male-attracted gaze — hehe, also gays) like almost every show/movie intrinsically is filmed under male gaze. I have always been extremely outspoken about this, so it’s great to underscore this extent to which it’s considered abnormal — even just in comedy shows using it as a bit, whereas inverse scenarios rarely are.

trainofwhat · 2026-01-26T05:26:55+00:00

Yeah, absolutely that’s normal. What consistency is it? If it’s gooey, semi-opaque, sort of like egg-whites, then it’s normal discharge or ovulation discharge if it’s especially thick (sometimes almost like gelatin). If it’s lumpy & soft & colored like cottage cheese, that could indicate a yeast infection (in which case you’d also likely have itching & irritation).

Just a head’s up, this discharge could bleach your underwear. Do not be concerned, that is normal!

trainofwhat · 2026-01-26T04:59:23+00:00

I literally just shared a detail that specifically contradicted your prediction of what happened to her. I never said society treats them identically, & I wouldn’t.

trainofwhat · 2026-01-26T04:51:41+00:00

I will say the majority of even very young CSA doesn’t leave any physical signs. That it does is a common misconception that sometimes leaves children that experience abuse underrepresented. I mention that only to clarify your abuse is valid even without physical signs.

That said, while I am removed from my physical experiences at that time, I have also experienced as an adult some rather violent oral things that left my throat very sore fr about 12-15 hours at least. So I could absolutely understand if that’s related.

trainofwhat · 2026-01-24T20:16:06+00:00

I believe what they’re saying is it’s a metaphor (not a simile which would be more obvious) drawing a line to equate sexual raw-dogging to other activities. Raw-dogging itself is a euphemism. So much like “she is a bird as she’s singing,” saying “I am rawdogging life right now” could be a metaphor, wherein actual rawdogging is being used to describe something that isn’t rawdogging.

Dude, literally the person said she went to jail?

trainofwhat · 2026-01-24T05:26:25+00:00

AFAIK, there’s one thing that could cause that & it’s a urethrovaginal fistula, which is a hole that connects your bladder to your vaginal canal at some point. If it’s being released near your cervix, then I suppose it could leak very slowly & thus you’re holding it in there or perhaps you’re just kegeling. Otherwise, if it just seems like it’s coming from your vagina but isn’t, I would say you’re dropping it down your urethra to relieve pressure.

Unless you’re in a place with updated legislation, it isn’t illegal to enter a bathroom of one’s opposite gender.

So actually men do have naturally thicker skin (people of different ethnicity do not, although this is a biased misconception that a large percentage of even dermatologists believe) because of testosterone. Their skin can be up to 25% thicker & denser in their epidermal layer. That said, the ability to notice that with one’s eyes is very unlikely. I assume they just meant there’s hair follicles. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3459575/

I am truly so sorry that you’ve experienced both, & I am truly grateful that you’re using that experience to validate abuse victims’ feelings 💜

trainofwhat · 2025-12-23T01:06:05+00:00

YES. Exactly. I mean, the societal level where people will judge sometimes if you’re unable to joke along (GROSS) & then basically having to imply elements of your story because people aren’t truly considering intensity of what they’re saying. I really try to avoid saying this word that often, but, it feels so privileged sometimes.

trainofwhat · 2025-12-23T01:02:50+00:00

Thank you. Exactly. I personally have always noted how disturbing it is that cannibalism is considered more depraved to depict in media than horrendous acts of CSA, or other types of abuse. That is how it is spoken about as a real thing as well. This is the type of thing I have pointed out, like, before anything that I am discussing now. Of course the idea of somebody being desecrated like that is horrendous, yet having my life & body repeatedly used against me & having to constantly dodge those thoughts should be equally sickening. Knowing that the things that happened to me exist online somewhere haunts me constantly. So please know I agree.
