I thought about it once. For ten minutes. I know I'm cis. I just know.

Give trans and queer people the same right to "just know" that I have.

i honestly cant believe the normal amount of wanting to be another gender is zero. like arent you sick of yours yet lol

This. It's such a quiet, simple thing, and it splices you into a thread that travels farther back in human history than the stone age. Fiber arts are among the oldest human endeavors and your amigurumi frog links you to your prehuman ancestors. For me, that sacred mundanity is a profound connection to all the creators who came before me.

not to sound corny but the textile arts make me feel connected to the world around me. it's so intentional and deliberate and when i sit and do it, i think a lot about how many other women that came before me used to do it, how many hands have used the same supplies i am using, and how many other people might be doing the same thing as me all across the world right now

I agree with the dissenting opinions, and I'd like to add:

You're never going to be fully healed. There's no clearing all your trauma and moving forward. You do your best and you keep moving and living life alongside your pain. That includes relationships; platonic or romantic, you're going to make mistakes and hurt people, and misunderstand them because of your unhealed spots. Navigating and restoring relationships in those rough patches is an enormous part of working through your stuff. That's where the work happens. We are made whole in systems of connection.

mmm yeah this bothers me but i’m too tired to type out any thoughts rn. ugh

Completely correct take

i think ive figured out the difference here

NPC narns: we are proud warriors who value honor above our own lives and we're often huge dumbasses about it

G'Kar: what if we reinterpreted what it means to be honorable so we can make our race's political situation better

Worf: i am a proud warrior who values honor above my own life and I'm often a huge dumbass about it

NPC klingons: what if we reinterpreted what it means to be honorable so we can make our race's political situation worse

Hopefully this happens in the reboot, if the reboot happens!

It's ok to not be able to participate in a discussion. Silent observation is a valuable skill and great way to learn what you didn't know you don't know.

Not every post about witchcraft needs to be tailored to the comfort of beginners.

I do agree. Romantic relationships and sexual relationships are great, HOWEVER, they are not the pinnacle of intimacy and love. They're one expression among many. Friendship is not a poor substitute for romance. It is an end, worthy of pursuit on its own.

"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "their platonic relationship in the source material is far more dynamic and complex than the sanitized personalities they gain as a result of shipping" way

Children are people, and this is REALLY hard for some to accept.

In the end, if children bother you for sensory reasons and that's why you don't want them to be in the same public spaces as you, there are disabled adults who can and would cause the same sensory issues for you. Adults who are loud, who vocally stim, who have poor boundaries, poor hygiene, who cry in public, etc etc etc. And they're already socially ostracized for all of this.

So actually yeah, it's the bare minimum you can do for the group with the least human rights on the planet to figure out how to accept children as part of your public community without hating them for it, even if you are child-free yourself.

The idea that only women can give birth is a misconception. Men can give birth too and that's a mrconception

Insightful. I know I tend towards the " never have needs EVER or they'll HATE YOU" side and this is a good breakdown of what that mindset is false.

some of y'all need to learn how to accept hospitality. stop assuming people are only offering to look after you out of twisted obligation that they don't actually want to do. when you assume that, you are often denying someone the opportunity to genuinely show a friend or stranger love. even if you don't really care about what they're offering, it's respectful of their desire to be kind to accept it anyways.

i had a bunch of girls i've never met over for a women's group. every single one of them denied my offer to make them tea (despite already making myself a mug anyways), get them water, a scone, etc.

i can tell when people refuse to let me be a good host because they "don't want to be a bother". like no!! please be a bother!!! i want to serve you and make you comfortable in my home!

not to be like "we live in a society" but really do live in a modern culture than emphasizes individualism to the point where people will reflexively deny any help or kindness from others for fear of treading on their independence. newsflash: dependence on each other is what makes a community. next time someone offers you kindness, accept it instead of making excuses for why you don't need it. otherwise you've robbed both yourself of being loved and someone else from showing love.

It's so important to take a stand for what's really important.
