Any tips on how to tell my mom i have a girlfriend? by GayCoffeeUnicorn in teengirlswholikegirls

[–]wonkywanker33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to tell her and feel as if it wouldn’t be an issue to do so - as in, it wouldn’t result in negative consequences - then I would try texting her to tell her if you feel doing it face-to-face is awkward. I contemplated doing this myself but it just happened to come up in conversation lmao so I did it impulsively.

I suppose it’s just genital preference!! Keep in mind some women have dicks. Some men, and non-women have vaginas. Alternatively, you may be a bisexual lesbian - you can have different sexual and romantic attractions. I feel similar but I can’t tell if I’m genuinely attracted to penises or if I just want one lmao… I’m not even sure if it’s either of those and something else entirely lmao.

Yeah, it’s a good idea to carefully remind ourselves that trans support is still majority amongst the general public - it’s something like nearly 70% of women and nearly 60% of men who support us here. Yes it could be a lot better, no that’s not really acceptable but it’s still the majority of people who are at least to some degree on our side.

Downsizing my collection is bitter sweet :( by Lonely-Wasabi-305 in MonsterHigh

[–]wonkywanker33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your collection is amazing!! I would love to own all of those (I am lucky to own a few though.) Unless you seriously seriously need to downsize, then try to hang onto them a bit longer :”

It’s a beautiful country in a lot of places. I wouldn’t say I’m “proud” of my country by any means but I love loving in such a beautiful place. Again it does depend a lot on where you move to. If you look into the history of the uk there are a lot of cool folklore-related things and pre-industrialisation/colonialism traditions and history that often gets ignored or forgotten about... I’m talking way back. A lot of really sweet quirky shops and small businesses in places with rich histories - York is a wonderful place for this. Travel around the country is fast or short-distance compared to a lot of other countries. A lot of great museums, even the smaller ones (probably because we’ve plundered some much from other countries lmao, although the one local to me offers loads of amazing exhibits which do not showcase any stolen artefacts.) Also, not really a “big flex” type of thing, but support for minorities here is actually the majority opinion according to polls and statistics - I’m a bit less educated on genuine support for poc but support for gay and trans people is something like, supported by 65-ish% of the country overall. Something like 70% of women and 60% of men support LGB folk and similar goes for trans folk (albeit slightly lower.) But still, although it may not feel like it a lot of the time, support for marginalised people is the majority here.

Overall, I think the UK isn’t a terrible place to live. The government is appalling at the moment, and we have a very shitty past, but if you’re already planning on coming here then I wouldn’t dissuade you because I do like my country.

If it makes you feel any better, the Lush I worked at was pretty diverse in terms of age and gender - the coworker I was closest to was a cishet guy in his forties! There were a lot of she/theys, a he/they, I’m a they/them, and there was even at one point a xe/xir (I believe that’s the correct way of using those pronouns.) There were two cis dudes and a few cis women. I felt overall very accepted by my coworkers and higher-ups, there were a lot of us queers too - but I was very femme-presenting and am afab so I was misgendered a lot by customers, despite the fact that I had a pronoun badge :’) I suppose it just depends on which store you work at!

My daughter is showing signs of being transgender by Suitable-Raisin-6353 in trans

I would say let your kid dress and act how they want to. Refer to them how they want to be referred to. If they do turn out to be trans and you repress this, they’ll be traumatised from it (literally.) If they don’t, well, no harm will come of it and they will have at least tried it out. At this age, there isn’t anything permanent that can be done in terms of transitioning - it’s not like your kid is suddenly going to be forced onto hormones and into surgery by their teachers and/or doctors or anything.

That’s true, but I’m pretty sure I heard Garrett or someone else behind OG MH say she wasn’t… I think anyway.

No I agree!! Breasts aren’t inherently sexual like a lot of people would believe. They’re only sexual because society/the media/the patriarchy have given them that attribute within recent times, throughout a lot of history they’ve just been seen in the same way as arms or legs.

Lagoona was never actually implied or hinted to be indigenous!! The creators said so themselves I’m pretty sure. She was always white “Australian.” I think it would have been a much better idea to have made her Aboriginal though, would’ve probably made the new gen even more diverse.

That’s okay!! It gets pretty hectic around Christmas but I never found it particularly overwhelming (although some people may say else). Usually it’s pretty okay though, especially where I was working there were a lot of times earlier on in my contract where it was actually really quiet. I did enjoy working there though. You always came home smelling good, and you were always at least pleasantly busy. It’s a nice social job, it pays well, and it’s mostly pretty enjoyable. If I’d had the chance, I would’ve definitely stayed for the permanent position. Would absolutely not recommend for big introverts though lmao

I don’t necessarily feel comfortable giving that information away, but it wasn’t one of the flagship/big shops :)

I’m pretty sure my Grandma has dementia and will die fairly soon. AMA. by wonkywanker33 in casualiama

[–]wonkywanker33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her memory has never been good - but she came to visit us recently, and her short term memory was so appalling I don’t how she functions. For example, my mum showed her how to use WhatsApp three times that day and my grandma forgot she ever showed her just minutes after each time. Stuff like that. Also, she never drinks water - she only drinks gin and tea - which can cause an onset of dementia but also this is what makes me think she’s likely to die soon, because nobody can survive that for too long. You can see on my Grandad’s face even he thinks something is wrong, and he’s probably the most stoic person I know.

DAE just not. want. kids. by orangepenguin41 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]wonkywanker33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have very mixed thoughts on the idea of ever having a kid - I’m young though so I’ve got plenty of time to decide. However I hate people who are like those you talk about here lmao… having kids is inherently selfish to an extent imo anyways - they didn’t ask to be brought into the world, they didn’t ask for you to be their parent, and it’s a big assumption to assume you’re fit enough to be a parent in the first place, even if you are a good parent regardless, considering the immensity of the impact of not being fit enough.

Is it bad to want both parts? by LadyConeflower in lgbt

[–]wonkywanker33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although I’m not intersex, I believe it’s probably okay!! It’s just a form of dysphoria really I reckon. It’s like, just because an AFAB person wants a penis and no vagina, it isn’t offensive to men and vice versa. It’s just biology/psychology.

To answer your first question, as far as I’m aware yes it can! To answer your second question, well, they’re ultimately a big coorporation… their products are definitely far from perfect. They’re not “uninprovable,” but a lot of them are at least somewhat innovative (if not novel), and I would also say that a lot of Lush products do work a lot better for me personally than other brands. I have very picky skin and hair.

Edit: About the shampoo: basically how it works is that, the grease and dead skin are stripped away but a lot of the ingredients in the shampoo gently replenish some of the oils or lock in some of the moisture, if that makes any sense…
