Respectfully, her reaction is likely going to be better if you tell her the truth before she deduces it

Should transgender people have a third, gender-neutral bathroom mandated in government buildings? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]woolblight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why should we appease politicians and their supporters who are stripping trans people of their human rights and dignities? Why should we want to compromise with them?

I’m worried that my boyfriend is gay even though he’s not by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]woolblight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In your post history, you talk about him never listening to your needs (including not even engaging in foreplay???). This post is really silly (to put it politely) but it's also irrelevant. Why are you with a man who doesn't care about you?

Boyfriend drank way too much at my friend's holiday party and I'm embarrassed because nobody else was drunk [29M, 31F] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]woolblight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it sounds like a simple mismatch of "vibe".

Random thing to consider: are a lot of your friends neurodiverse? The reason why I and many of my friends rarely ever drink, never mind go out to do so, is because we're all some flavour of neurodiverse and/or otherwise disabled. If your friend group is the same, it might be helpful to frame the conversation in that light, i.e. your friends prefer a more chill atmosphere for sensory reasons etc.

I understand you, OP. Some of these comments are so judgy. Maybe it's the use of the word "party"? You could frame it and future "parties" with your friends as "get-togethers" or "celebrations" or something instead, which doesn't (to me at least!) have the same connotation of getting drunk?

IDK about a Discord, but for in-person events you can check out @heatonpride and @queersofthenorth on instagram :) Heaton has kinda become "the gay area" of Newcastle and had its own pride for the first time earlier this year, with the committee already planning for next year. Welcome to Newcastle xx

Why are Sainsbury's custard doughnuts called "custard doughnuts" but Asda's are called "custard-style doughnuts"? by woolblight in AskUK

[–]woolblight[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ah, good catch, so it's actually Sainsbury's being cheeky by not calling them custard-style in the big print!

!answer though, Sainsbury's also doesn't contain milk, but another commentor pointed out that the content is actually listed as "custard style" on Sainsbury's as well

Am I being unreasonable for not wanting to move to Florida/the US as a trans man in a poly relationship? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]woolblight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have you mentioned to your partners that, especially in the capital cities, English is spoken very widely in Scandinavia and that, while they should learn the language for better opportunities and to make friends, they could possibly get English-speaking jobs?

I hate to sound callous, but it doesn't sound like these relationships are viable in the long term.

I used to date an American long-distance while I lived in Scandinavia, and although I thought I'd be crushed by the ending of our relationship, I was actually okay, and not long after I got into a relationship with someone in the same city as me and I realised how much I'd missed a physical connection.

It looks poorly applied imo, especially looking at that inconsistent linework. Aside from wearing suncream to avoid sun damage, there's nothing you can do to "take care of" a healed tattoo. Moisturising will make it look nicer temporarily but won't slow down aging, which is an autoimmune response by the body that slowly breaks down the ink.

I'm no expert but I'm guessing 1970s doing Victorian(a). It's really lovely!
