  • My Dad didn’t get it either until I showed him pictures of a friend of mine who looks very much like a man, and is in fact, a trans man.

    I knew this particular trans man when he was a feminine lesbian, and knew him the entire journey through the transition since it was public knowledge in our shared social circle at the time.

    Since then, the old social media has been erased and you wouldn’t know if you didn’t know.

    I said I’m fine going to the bathroom with my friend either way. But he’s going to get called out going to women’s room now.

    I said what I’d been saying, it’s always been illegal in living memory to assault people or peep in bathrooms. That’s not going to change. And having guards to check genitals is way worse than the current risk of running into a bathroom criminal.

    He finally got it after seeing the photos though and dropped it.

    My parents lived next door to my grandma. Mom would say “wanna go to Grandma’s” to her cat and he’d jump up on a speaker beside the door to be picked up and carried. Grandma would make him a scrambled egg or give him some tuna.

    After Mom passed away, I was visiting Dad and thought I’d try “Wanna go to Grandma’s?” He jumped up and let me carry him to Grandma’s and back. (After his scrambled egg, of course) He lived to be 21 so I carried to him see Grandma everytime I visited.







  • Women are also fed lies that men don’t need emotional support. Also, women are told constantly that men don’t want to be friends with them and only want sex.

    So there’s a good chance his friends that are women think he’s not having a hard time and/or he wants to sleep with them instead of talk.

    I’m sorry OP that you are going through this. The advice to join an in person hobby or interest group is probably best. (To supplement your therapy)

    Also, it’s also entirely possible, since it’s been 5 months, that everyone is overwhelmed with life and the world. I know I’ve not reached out as often to my friends the last 6 months (I’m stressed by country and the grief of losing my dad a few months ago.)

    Also you say it seems like everyone is supporting your ex. Are they really? Or is she holding them hostage with her drama and steamrolling into their lives?



  • If you are safe from the prisoners and guards, get clean accommodations, are well fed, get outside/gym time for fitness, medical care, time to learn a vocation or study, occasional entertainment time (tv or whatever)… the only thing missing is a romantic partner… honestly, it sounds as good as an all inclusive retreat/vacation.

    I imagine not having control over your own life for years at a time would wear one down. But months? If I knew my outside people weren’t suffering because of my actions, it sounds kind of nice.

    But I’m an introvert that works from home, so, I’d miss my pets.
