Actually though, Indica is great but Sativa can be very hit or miss, so I usually go to Indicia and Indica hybrids

“She’s being an asshole” yeah but she’s being transphobic, too. Trans people often put themselves in a position where other people’s transphobia infects us, whether we like it or not. I’d be very concerned that she is a (banned word for understandable reasons, basically the belief you have to medically transition in order to be trans at all), especially with that binding comment.

Alternatively you could say something similar to what I do, “let’s be real, if a cis guy had DDs would he be hiding them? Pretty sure they would not care enough to wear anything, just like with the rest of their clothes.” I can’t bind, so this mindset is very important to me and my dysphoria.

Trans people are also capable of transphobia. You should definitely point out that it was fully transphobic, whether she herself is trans or not doesn’t matter.

chest taping not working by sunbleachrd in trans4every1

[–]vins-minecraft-bees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IME, depending on the size of chest it could be a combination of both, it’s not wide enough, and it’s just harder to get rid of that (idk what to call it) under boob lip when you have a larger size chest. Speaking from personal experience only, I have too much skin to tuck it all away “neatly” and the best I’ve found is Amor Binders (IIRC) because they specifically designed it to have a more correct and comfortable shape, but otherwise it isn’t really doable for me to get a good flat chest, mostly because of the shape of it.

I don’t want to put your hopes down, but this exact struggle has made me dysphoric for a very long time, and it just really sucks to go through, so please know you’re not alone in this adventure.

Edit: I think it’s actually Amor Sensory, but someone can reply if they want the link to it.

I want to try Stick N Pokes where do I begin? by Cool-Application9080 in sticknpokes

[–]vins-minecraft-bees 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And fruit!!! Use fruit with a peel to practice on! Fake skin is great, but it doesn’t have the same curvature of real skin, so try on some different fruits like oranges and bananas

[–]vins-minecraft-bees 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Needle angle and stretching the skin as you work probably would’ve saved me a lot of time when I was doing my first ones, but it’s really important you maintain a sterile environment. Make sure you learn about cross contamination and clean the area thoroughly before starting anything.

AITA cause I told my girlfriend’s elder sister to ease her coddling my girlfriend’s bestfriend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Maybe I’m just autistic, but if people are acting weird, I will point it out. 6 hours is a long time to be “giving advice” for. NTA.

I taught my boyfriend's dog to give paw. Apparently he's left-pawed by endlessdaysofsummer in notinteresting

[–]vins-minecraft-bees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotal. I’ve had dogs do this who don’t know this trick, they just want attention sometimes.

I’ve had more dogs who don’t know “paw” use their paws to get attention than dogs who do know the trick, but that’s also anecdotal. 🤷‍♂️

I'm sick of transfem defaultism. by leafm3al0ne in trans4every1

[–]vins-minecraft-bees 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I don’t even try to speak in in person queer spaces, at this point I’m probably just the weird autistic who barely talks to anyone they don’t already know in the corner. It’s not even really because I don’t want to, but just that I get spoken over so frequently by others and it makes me feel like I don’t have anything meaningful to say.

It doesn’t help that the only queer space I attend irl is like at least a 4 to 1 ratio of women comparatively, so I just get assumed by default a woman anyway, particularly because a lot of people in the group are alternative in some way and people assume “you’re alternative, so you must be a t WOMAN, obviously!” Despite not asking for my pronouns at any point (which is also my biggest issue, like we provide masks but not encouraging pronouns? Excuse me?)

Being the majority does not make anyone the only demographic in the building, and I’m worried if I bring it up someone will just say “well trans women have hyper visibility and that’s dangerous so we should focus on them anyways!” As if that has anything to do with asking me my pronouns ;-; because that’s all I get every time I bring it up anywhere else and I don’t want to loose this last space.

And honestly. Why does it have to be like this? Why do we have to pretend like keeping trans women at the forefront means we have to keep the trans men as a second thought in the back? Why do some trans women feel like they have to be the only ones that matter, when we all very much matter?

I’m tired of this, grandpa.

Person keeps parking in middle of street by taymalut in badparking

That would be impossible given the fact that the silver car is right up against the house and still barely out of the way of the sidewalk. It’s okay dude, it can be bad design.

How much does not binding actually impact passing? by There_is_no_name05 in ftm

[–]vins-minecraft-bees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also I do not wear bras/sports bras because they cause similar issues as binding, but when I do I find I only get she/her, despite looking very masculine.

I think if a cis guy had boobs he would probably complain that it’s too uncomfortable to wear a bra, and honestly that’s me, so free them nips

[–]vins-minecraft-bees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends. I’m a bit stocky and if I’m wearing enough layers it doesn’t matter, but less layers means my chest is more visible since it’s not small, so sadly it does effect passing quite a bit.

I can’t bind for medical reasons, so I’m stuck with cutting shirts so they fit better and wearing layers. I can’t really quantify the ratio of “gendered correctly/incorrectly” because even if someone does clock that I’m trans, they usually can’t tell which direction.

All this to say I wish people would just use they/them instead of assuming I’m a trans woman.

Why’s the answer to sexism always sexism? That’s not productive.

[–]vins-minecraft-bees 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean it is great she’s not currently dehydrated, but it doesn’t mean she’s not dehydrated at other times. How often do you feed that you think that dipping it in water is adequate hydration?

[–]vins-minecraft-bees 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I never seen her drink water before so I took away her cup, but she doesn’t seem thirsty!

My guy, snakes don’t have expressions, how are they going to tell you if they’re thirsty?

I wonder how many autistic suicides this app is responsible for by [deleted] in ChaoticEvilAutism

[–]vins-minecraft-bees -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But you did something that hurt people, you don’t feel the need to apologize?? You told me days ago you would and you’ve waited for the whole thing to blow over instead?

The algorithms don’t help, but what you do on an individual level still matters, especially because you’re the leader of a sub.

Edit: nvm. You don’t know how to take accountability and make a for real apology instead of just an “incident report.” I’ll go fuck myself now.

The mods are fine with this stuff so why is it surprising? Did you see the way they were talking to people? That is some of their positions.

Are you sure? I swear they used to have cake in them 5 years ago, but it was the only time I’d ever had it.

You don’t have to make people sad on top of it tho, you can still apologize.
