People definitely amp it up for MCR concerts, theres plenty of people who aren’t Goth girls now but were scene girls in their youth and want to relive the nostalgia at an MCR gig

I think I’d rather die

I feel such a visceral fucking jolt through my body whenever I see trans people attach the adjective to their gender as if they are one word >.<

Instructions unclear, frotting

Cuuuuute also sg-1 peak

I’m glad you found it helpful!

I just wondered why we have to know about this vent, and not their therapist.

You don’t have to know about this vent, you could click off and move on at any point, if it really does bother you. This is a community, and op evidently wanted to lean on the community a bit for support. They may very well speak to their therapist, or they may not have access to one, or they may have access to one and did not feel comfortable bringing any of this up with them because outing themselves to their therapist might get them into unsafe situations. Any number of reasons. Whatever the reasons, they chose to share in this community, and our response should be supportive and helpful.

If you wanted to offer your perspective, you might have done so, but all your (rhetorical) questions don’t read as support or care. They read as standoffish and accusatory.

I agree that they have behaved in a way that is inconsiderate, and from the tone of their post it seems they know that they were so. If you wanted to touch on that, you could have done so directly and kindly.

"I’m sorry to hear you’re going through a tough period mentally and emotionally. Navigating transness is not simple, especially with loved ones who do not support you.

As a polyeros individual, I have to say you might want to navigate, particularly situations like yours with the other person you aren’t married to, differently in future. Open, transparent communication about relationships and boundaries is key, and benefits all involved parties. Lots of heartache can (and should) be avoided by adhering to boundaries set by your loved ones, and communicating with new amours about potential boundaries they (and their existing partners) may have. You owe it to the people you care about, even if it means you can’t follow that spur of the moment, horny energy, as fun as it feels.

I hope you all manage to find your ways through this with minimal hurt - be kind to yourselves."

It doesn’t take much more to frame your communications with kindness, especially in a community that exists to be a safe space for transfems.

Yea I think this is where a lot of adhders slip up. You gotta make space to listen to their loredumps if you expect them to sit and listen to your loredumps

Just make a shitty meme instead of offloading the work to ai so it can make a shittier meme. I’d much rather people make crappy stick person comics in paint than someone waste resources and time waiting for ai slop to be churned out that doesn’t come close to being creative or coherent.

Eh, all the 3d printing stuff is par for the course, the only “controversial” part is gun ownership, but if they live in the united states thats just a normal thing (for some godforsaken reason). The technology community specifically seems like the wrong place though

I also really like using these words in a positive light. “Oh girl you’re that bitch”, “bestie you look like a slut and I’m living for it”, “living my best whore life” kinda vibes. Feels great, none of the negativity

I presume you returned the device?

Eek!

Small rant on a related topic. For the last year+ (it may have been far longer, but this is when I noticed) tesco’s “Tesco Finest” line of crisps in the UK have been basically all vegan, if not all vegan straight up. Even the cheese flavour and the prawn cocktail flavour and the BBQ flavour and the steak flavour. A few months ago, they changed the recipes for nearly all of them, and now the aforementioned are all not listed as vegan, only vegetarian, and several list ingredients that make it explicitly non-vegan.

The reviews of the crisps before and after are actually declining, so its clearly not a better flavour. What gives? I have to assume they were already using the cheaper ingredients because, yknow, capitalism. So I can’t imagine it being for cost cutting. Whatever the reason, they’ve just destroyed a whole product line for vegan folks with a seemingly net negative on the quality at the same time.

I guess just from a recreational perspective, its like a puzzle :)

Transistor was incredible, I thought it was generally received as an improvement over bastion and people generally liked it

Hehehehe

The cute transfems in my phone are being bottoms again 😂

(You’re welcome - I simply state a fact!)

If its not them saying it then its me saying it o/
