In the end, yes it’s your life and if you know you know. Personally I feel like it depends on how old you are - my parents got engaged after 6 months of dating and have now been married for decades, but they met in their mid/late 30s and already knew what they wanted out of life and a relationship. I love my partner and hope to marry her someday but want us to both have a few more years life experience before we make such a big commitment.

When it’s time to unwind, I normally am just getting home from the gym so a quick shower in which I decide on dinner. I change into sweats and cook or order food before relaxing with a tv show or a book. Weekends that changes into getting ready to go out to dance off the long week.

For more information here's the Wikipedia page for [White Horse Inn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Horse_Inn_(Oakland,_California)). It officially opened in 1933 but is rumored to have operated as a gay speakeasy since before the end of Prohibition (which was from 1920-1933). It's still open if you find yourself near Oakland, California and fancy a visit.

Holy crap OP, I was not prepared for the absurdity of your mother based on your title alone. Honestly there are situations, including your own, where it's usually better to protect yourself by staying in the closet. Sexuality stuff aside for a moment, is there anything you can do to protect yourself in regards to her accessing your apartment? Or are you reliant upon her for things related to your disability?

The one lesbian wedding I've been to had mixed attire. I can't remember how they described the dress code, but it basically ended up being business casualish? Summer dresses, khakis and a button up dress shirt, stuff like that. The wedding party wore nice clothes of their choosing but in the wedding colors (green, tan, white). It was also mixed gender. Mostly bridesmaids but there were a couple "bridesmen" as well. Bonus, the "party favors" at each of the tables were donations to the local humane society instead of trinkets with the brides' names.

My mom doesn’t treat my relationships the same way as my sisters hetero ones. I think it is largely due to her perceptions of what a family is. She wants me to have a traditional family with a husband and kids (neither of those are things I want). And she just can’t see me “endgame” with a woman I guess, to her it’s fine to date but marry or forever, not so much.

The thing to keep in mind with LDRs is that the long distance is temporary, the more serious it becomes both parties make more of an effort to be physically closer. Online dating isn’t doomed to fail, it’s just how you met. The end goal of bringing you closer together - geographically is the endgoal though. Sorry if that sounds obvious but I’ve recently witnessed my best friend in an online relationship and that was one of the things they struggled to do - and it ultimately fell apart.

I was having a rough day at work (short staffed), and decided to treat myself to a double cheeseburger at lunch. Bastards made it upside down.

Except then the thickest part of the bun is now on bottom instead of on top, thereby COMPLETELY throwing off the proper bun/meat/cheese ratio. Grrrrrrr Tl;dr: Don't fuck with my cheeseburgers

So I don’t have herpes. I haven’t had a partner with it, but I’ve had some friends date with it and the one thing I learned watching them date is that they were open and honest about their status when they were ready to take that step and were prepared with protection. I am absolutely terrified of getting an std, but I carry some form of protection on me most of the time. It’s not advisable to keep dental dams (or condoms) near heat, so not your wallet, nor your car though, I’ve thrown a dental damn in my wallet before heading out for the night. Using protection is totally fine, and it’s for both of your safety at the end of the day. Most people will need to be educated on the health risks and the need for no alarm given modern medicine and access to safe sex products. Just take your medication, keep protection on hand and be open about your status.

Honesty is the best policy - to everyone. Your husband needs to be 100% on board and ok with your decision. You did take a vow of fidelity so if you were to do something behind his back, you would be breaking that vow. The other woman needs and deserves that honesty as well: that you are married and committed to your husband so it would only be physical. I am sure you can find someone who only wants the physical aspect, that's not a problem. Whether you can be completely confident that you will "get it out of your system" and stay committed to your husband is another thing entirely. Either way, I'd be very careful about your next steps. Good luck!

I was also deeply uncomfortable watching her raping Tina in season one. Until that moment I had for some reason believed that women never raped other women. I don't like how the show portrayed it as okay. I haven't watched the new L word yet so I can't comment on that. And I don't remember everything she did in the original series, but I found her to be a fascinating character. Certainly very flawed, and pretty cold at times, which makes her interesting because not many women on TV are like her.

Heya kiddo. I was once a baby butch in your same shoes. Let me tell you: sports. Play them. City league, Intermural if you are in college. we lesbians are known for our sports: softball, golf, rugby, soccer, basketball, lacrosse the lesser known volleyball and cheerleaders, etc. I’ve met almost everyone I dated via sport, work or referral. Dating sites are great.. I have profiles and whatever, but the older I get the more I wanna meet someone in my everyday life. Your best bet is to find the gay corners of your hobbies and go from there. If you don’t have hobbies, find some. Life is boring if all you do is go to work, pay bills and sleep when you’re pushing 30.

At this point it would be for me, depending on the circumstances. I'm fine if someone doesn't make a ton of money, especially if they're in a job they love or working on furthering their career, but I need them to be able to support themselves and be financially literate. I've been the person who had to support my SO (ex) in the past and it got me into debt when I otherwise wouldn't have. Money problems are one of the biggest relationship stressors and reasons for divorce, so don't feel bad about having it as a deal breaker. I need to have a balanced relationship, I don't want to be someone's mother.

If you want to figure out who you are, drop the whole "Demi" and "aro-homoflexible" nonsense. Sexuality is based on WHO you are attracted to, now how you experience that attraction. You're bi, with a preference for women, and there's nothing wrong with that. How old are you? You seem really young and not confident in your sexuality or yourself. This confidence and sure-ness comes with age and experience. To me it seems like you're into this girl and a little jealous. Have you tried talking to her about your feelings?

Leftist kids that come to colleges to shout down conservative speakers because they want to label anything that disagrees with the notion that there's an infinite amount of genders as hate speech. Do they support facts, science, are not infantile, or ignorant bullies? The left doesn't have anyone like Shapiro or Peterson because when it comes to intellectual discussion, all the left has is hate, emotion, and a complete lack of understanding of the issues because they do not tolerate any idea that is not their own. Their indoctrination gets put on full display. That's why their only tactic is to act like brownshirts. They see it as a victory when they shut down free speech. That's all the left has. Activists.

I appreciate the concerns you raise here. However, there are those of us who are vehemently opposed to gender critical ideology and the creation of this space was inspired by the overwhelming GC rhetoric of r/detrans possibly having caused a young trans person to take their life. As is said in the description, this is an alternative space. Not intended to be a replacement or an antagonistic force. There are major issues and toxicity withing some trans communities which is something that needs to be acknowledged by the wider community. However, by accusing trans participants of this sub of being 'voyeuristic' it is perpetuating the idea that trans people hate detrans people, when that is contrary to the truth in this sub. This sub is still in its infancy, and we are working very hard to make it an optimal experience for users.

By just a quick google search and google scholar search i found a bunch of resources and scientific papers for how estrogen therapy is used to increase bone density. Its well known that menopausal females struggle with bone density reduction as their bodies are no longer producing enough estrogen (hence why thin elderly females are susceptible to broken bones) and methods of treating this with estrogen has been done since the 80's. You're doctors must have a gap in the knowledge, and you should hunt around for one who will listen to your concerns as they just may let you take low E levels to treat your osteoporosis.

I think toxic masculinity is a major cause of my issues. I get like an inferior man and got jealous of some social stuff from women. I have a major complex from my height, and my sexuality is unconventional. In addition to my myriad mental health issues, transition sounded appealing. I didn’t want to become another gender because I wanted it/I am that gender, I wanted it to “fix” me. Thing is being a girl has myriad issues of itself and it wasn’t who I was. I just was a mentally ill man with extreme insecurities. I’ll be real it was trans people who helped me reach that conclusion. I don’t feel like I was really pressured into anything.

Genetic Sex: Refers to what chromosomes you have. Most people have XX or XY chromosomes, but some people have different mutations Genital/Physical Sex: Refers to what reproductive organ you have. Most people have "biologically female" reproductive organs or "biologically male" reproductive organs but may people have various forms of intersexual reproductive organs (Usually Genetic Sex correlates with Genital Sex but not always) Gender Identity: The gender you identify with. Gender Expression: The gender you present as according to the gender categorization of you society. All of these things can be different, none of these are binaries, and the last two can change over time.

I'm admittedly not sure what I think about this sub because there are no detrans people on the staff team (yet), despite the sub's name, so I'm pretty cautious. But at the same time, this isn't the kind of question I can ask in /r/detrans, either, where the narrative in the general community is that top surgery is "mutilation," and that people like me are "disfigured," and saying I don't regret it and that it helped me can be read as encouraging it. I don't regret getting top surgery. I'm glad I had it. Sometimes I feel like a complete outlier on /r/detrans for this. **Does anyone else NOT regret top surgery? What type of surgery did you have? What's your story?** (DI here, and yes, I have pretty extensive scarring. I like my scars, though.) If you do regret it, please be respectful of language that can apply to other people's bodies--thanks!

I think you pretty much said it correct. I don't claim to know much about it but I think his fans are the real conservatives. Peterson seems to profoundly involved with rational thinking, his own type is from a conservative perspective, especially considered gender identity and roles.

Title says most of it. Has anyone else dealt with this issue in the past? I don't want to be responsible for making a bigot feel justified in her views; other people could be hurt for it.

I like how I can specifically make a point about how there's a degree of skepticism and doubt you can have about what's considered the 'popular wisdom' that isn't a sign of mental distress, and your first reaction is to run straight into that mental crutch. This is part of the indoctrination I mention often, about how propaganda is being portrayed as fact, when it isn't. For the sake of argument, assume I'm not a crazy conspiracy theorist; for the moment, actually engage with the argument instead of just having a knee-jerk reaction and let's reason like men. Can you even do that? If you can't, can you justify why without just saying I'm crazy? I think there's a lot of questions and possibilities you haven't engaged in, and I think it's best if you started.

I've been off HRT for about ~a month now, and it feels like my T production might be returning but is doing so fairly slowly. My skin's a bit oilier but still fairly soft and my genitals/libido certainly aren't back to how they were pre-HRT. How long did it take for anyone else's T to come back fully?

An alternative to full transition is to only go for limited HRT/surgeries. One issue with this is of course that we live in a society where we are judged by our looks, this is the case regardless of what gender you are, you cannot really escape it. If you are sexually attractive you will get benefits from it (easier dating, getting hired, etc). Just breast-reduction can make breastfeeding impossible. Its unclear what the risks from HRT are in terms of fertility, dr will powers claimed he had never came across a case of permanent infertility just from HRT in the case of people born male. I feel like partial transition and late transition (when you cannot pass) would be more viable if people were less judgemental.

Biden is a great president, best in my 30 year lifetime. I think this "both sides" stuff is really killing us. They're even saying now that Obama was terrible, Clinton was terrible, Jimmy Carter only got one term. The real problem is Congress. Total obstruction by the GOP, plus at least two Democrat Senators freezing the legislature completely. I think the Republican politicians are deliberately being as trashy as possible, then grooming this "both sides" stuff to drag down the Democrats with them. We know the GOP tactic is to block all of Biden's policies so they can paint him as a "failure" and bring down his popularity. Blaming Biden for Republican obstruction only rewards the GOP for their failures.

I don't know why messaging women terrifies me so much. I mean, beyond the fact that I'm 30 and haven't been in a relationship since college and my adhd communication problems & body image issues make me feel inferior, why is it so hard to send a message? Like, I know that we both swiped right on each other, but I'll sit there on the messages page and my mind just goes blank as if I've lost the ability to use words. Does anyone have any tips for getting over the useless lesbian trope and actually talking to people like a human?

My endocrinologist told me that the cause of my hair that keep on thinning is the fact that maybe I've kickstarted some sort of female alopecia ( I have diffuse thinning , so it's not MPB? )My hair won't recover. They'll keep thinning even if I'm off t until I go bald. I'm shattered. Anyone here that had diffuse thinning pattern, like in the part line, and had some recover?

Accusing people of being "leftists" on this sub? Makes no sense. They accuse us of being "woke leftists and senile" anytime we refuse to accept the Republican fascist cult propaganda forced onto all of us against our consent. There are no "leftists" anymore because the "rightist" stopped making any damn sense and feed on their own insanity and conspiracies as their alternative reality. It's creepy as shit grooming, especially when you are already grooming people to leave the sub and hook onto Republican alternatives.

You are amazing. Thank you so much for the explanation. Question, though. I am trying to get some family members and friends to speak about it. What do you think the best argument (if any) would work? I know the bill is targeting drag queens, which is horrible, but it also catches transgender individuals in the crossfire. In my opinion, it is the best argument for people to speak at that committee (since it seems like it's the best opportunity to change/stop it) is to make the language more concrete and to not restrict transgender individuals where it's not like this is a job for them it's there whole life.

Gay animals are also normal. Gay and Lesbian birds are just as attached and faithful to each other as those paired with a member of the opposite sex. Scientists found that same-sex pairs of finches sang to and preened each other just like heterosexual pairs. In monogamous gulls and albatrosses, it gives females the chance to breed without a male partner. “Female partners copulate with a paired male then rear the young together,” Dr Elie explained.

Hello, as the title suggests I would really like to play among us! I just thought this community of strangers seems pretty chill and harmless. Like what will y'all do? Make me join a cult that turns me gay? LOL No seriously, I just wanted to play the game but my usual 4 friends I play drunk jackbox with out of them 2 have just moved and have no internet for a bit so we can't play. And I believe I will not like the typing feature, as it gets hard to read so I just needed a speaking game of among us and not a typing one? But honestly, I have never played the game but have seen a gameplay. Since the internet is a harsh impatient place me standing around reading the map/walking into walls will either get me murdered or ejected. Short short game.. so yes hmu if you into ruining non existing friendships and the mutual respect we hold for strangers Thanks for taking an interest!

*Sorry for deleting my previous post. I panicked.* So I told my girlfriend about my crush. That I'm talking to her. I also showed a photo of my crush. My gf said that she's pretty. Heheh. And she doesn't mind that I'm talking to her. I told my crush that I have gf and I hoped that she wouldn't mind cos I wanna be friends with her. She answered that she got no expectations and she's only looking for friends too. And thanked me for being honest that I shouldn't worry coz we're friends. I even told her that my gf said she's pretty. Hehehe. I also invited her to play Among Us with my friends. I will play CSGO again so I can join her sometime. Hehehe. There. I know I'm the only one who has a crush on her and she doesn't feel the same way about me. I'm just happy I have a new crush after a looong looong looong time. Ahhahaha.

Any of y’all ever look at your girlfriend/partner/wife and just think “holy crap I’m so lucky you’re in my life”? I just turned 26 and my amazing wife, who is on a night shift rotation and is absolutely exhausted, made sure to kiss me and wish me a happy birthday the moment she woke up. She was half asleep, barely standing, and still wrapped me in a giant hug and told me she loved me. She got me a kit to start my own herb garden because I’ve recently found a love (and the free time) for gardening. It’s such a simple thing, but I spent so many years with people that treated me like an afterthought. I’ve never felt like that with her, and it’s so incredibly beautiful! She shows me in big ways and small ways, every day, that I’m a priority to her, and I’m just so grateful to have found this amazing woman to spend my life with.

- only having to file one tax return (had to file 3 per year for the 2 years we were domestic partners....) - finding a favorite grocery store and memorizing the aisles - filling out forms to be added to my wife’s medical insurance Don’t get me wrong, I love the romance and the wedding day and all the mushy stuff, but I’m just so excited about tax season this year 😂 Any other bureaucratic married life perks I missed?

First off, allow me to preface this with the fact that I've started this thread with complete knowledge of how ridiculous it is to compare two genders. That said, and of course generalizations will have to be made, what are the positive and negative differences between men and women, and who is more encumbered/empowered because of these differences, on a biological, social, etc. level? Are potential period pains worse than possibly hurting ones' testicles? (in terms of pain, frequency, duration, etc.) Let's get an open forum going.
