controversial opinion but I think it's fine to literally be a completely different sexuality/gender at different stages of your life. ypu don't have to be 'born this way' you can just do what feel good lol
@BadSocialism
why is hating on british food such a trend
Like I understand if it's like French, Italians, indians, Chinese
You know people with good food
But when Americans slag off our food its just like lol?
@EstrogenDabPen
Also can we talk about how nobody wants to say they're a feminist or stand up for women's rights bevause of terfs, even if you have explicitly shown how much you are trans inclusive. Anything women centred is side eyed...why?! The biggest feminists I know are trans women.
one of my spicier takes is that to be autistic is to be queer even if you are cishet because neurodivergence means you understand gender and sexuality in a non normative way, I also think this is partially why so many of us are bisexual and non binary
was very hungover and sleep deprived this morning and started taking pictures of the little bakery in sainsbury's as I was emotional at the sight of it
I've met a lot of 'I used to be bisexual but now I'm straight' women and to be honest I think they're all bi but they have internalised biphobia/maybe prefer men romantically to be honest
i think gifted kid syndrome is just the process of adults failing to teach neurodivergent kids study habits so they inevitably flop once pure intellect isnt enough to sustain them anymore
Most unhinged thing I heard from a friend was that she had taken to bringing a little flask of vodka to the pub, when caught out she said 'cost of living innit' and the bouncer was like 'fair enough'
@othergaystoner
Very true I know a lot of friends who just give eachother testogel like it's ket or something and its like, maybe do some research, it really is scary that trans folks can't always get this healthcare and so hurt themselves accidentally
No
I'm bisexual and have been aggressively involved with the irl queer community in manchester for years
Nobody judges me for dating men. People are just sick of straight people encroaching on canal street and ruining it with queerphobia and misogyny
how much yall wanna bet the keep cishets out of queer spacesdiscourse will inevitably lead to saying bisexuals are not allowed,yall never have this types of conversation without excluding parts of queer community. also never use inclusive language and always say queerphobic shit
b!tch is a misogynist slur which m3n call girls and women before beating, raping and mutilating us, yet it is considered as a cool word by liberals who don't regard women's oppression and suffering
I kicked my husband our because friends had seen him kissing another woman, I didn't give him the option to explain, we eventually divorced, months after friends took me out to dinner, they pointed over to a guy and said can you believe he's out with her. It wasn't him.
Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but DO NOT get an offial autism diagnosis simply for validation. Only get one if you need it, practically, like to claim disability allowance for example. An autism diagnosis can and WILL be used against you. It is a legal liability everywhere.
things that are actually good about being British
-Potato and bread combos
-Tea with milk
-Putting a kiss after texts
-the fact we sing a lot in crowds
- banter when it's actually good
-cultural diversity generally encouraged
-our local Facebook groups
-Variety of accents
I genuinely don't think terfs like being women, which I think is why they feel triggered by transess. Feeling traumatised by womanhood is valid, shunning others is not.
I think something I've discovered over the years as a freelance autistic person is that it's way way WAY harder to get a job as an autistic person than it is to get called back for more work or maintain a job.
most neurotypicals just don't work that hard and lie constantly
women have always been into feminine men. in the 2000s, they were called 'metrosexual', in the 1800s they were called 'fops' its so dumb. the andrew tates love this 'all women love manly bastards' myth
okay i know this isn't my lane but it's driving me nuts: is this 'feminine' solely because of the flower? because beyond that we have brown shirt, straight legged chinos, normal haircut, five o'clock shadow, tote bag, coffee, book, so like...???
in 2019 I went on a very ableist 'understanding autism' course and they gave us this as a task 'to see why it is difficult to communicate with autistic people'
I know I'm speaking from a position of relative privilege as a white middle class English person but do you ever enter a room with people who have clearly sailed through life and never had any mental health or hardship and you want to scream/leave immediately
I don't think it's like...evil like that but its definitely a loser move and very 2010's. you're not ho burnham, it's better to risk coming across arrogant than overly negative
Stop making your houses so comfortable for your kids. That's why they never leave. Not saying it should be prison-like but if you put in a garden gaming room where they can get drunk and high you'll never be shot of them.
