Maeby: And the worst part is he thinks he’s passing.

Yes, her motivation was make Steve Holt not interested but fundamentally the joke is that Steve wouldn’t be attracted to trans woman, which is what happens. Which honestly makes the whole joke worse.

And even if you don’t care about that, Maeby’s motivation doesn’t matter because she still uses transphobia as a way to harass Lindsey behind her back.

I honestly find the whole thing so upsetting and not even remotely funny.

On arrested development I skip the story arc of episodes related to Maeby tricking people in to thinking her mom is trans so they can be awful to her.

There is a lot of casual transphobia that was common at the time, but I just can’t fucking stand those scenes.

This is pure blackpill. I’m really sorry you are in this position, but you truly need to talk this over with a therapist. You’re not unlovable, but when you think and talk like this women, rightfully, see nothing but red flags. And then your loneliness become a self fulfilling prophecy.

There is nothing wrong with you, except for the fact that you believe everything is wrong with you. A relationship is literally the last thing you need, instead focus on your own mental health and serenity.

This thread is a form of self harm. I know therapy is hard, but arguging with strangers about how terrible you are won’t ever make things better. Tending to your mental health will.

Anarchist. I look forward to being kill by tankies moments after the revolution.

“She doesn’t wamt you to read this book”

What service do I use for food?

My girlfriend mostly.

Told the fiance of the girl I was secretly seeing that I would probably bang her tonight at her birthday party. I vaguely remember puking in the toilet that night but then woke up in the garage the next morning confused why everyone was giving me the stink eye.

I still feel really bad about it, like not even just how I told but the fact that I was even seeing her anyways. I was young, but that’s not an excuse and I should’ve know better.

That night was a wake up call.

It sorta feels like you’re either saying “dude your shortness is so impressive that I’m jealous” which doesn’t make sense because that’s kind of a strange thing to be proud of

It’s not something to be proud or ashamed of, it’s just a physical trait that says nothing about a persoms charcter. But tons of people feel less than or are mocked for these sorts of intrinsic traits. Consider queer people, “Pride” events aren’t about being proud of a sexuality/identity. It’s refusing to be shamed in the face of cultural taboos and social stigma, it’s about self love and acceptance than showing off something others should be jealous of.

It bothered me in high school but I found out shortly after it really doesn’t matter that much if you carry yourself confidently.

Which is accurate and admirable, but for those still in high school feeling bothered, wouldn’t the population of the term help them get to your head space faster? Terms of encouragement are a lot more valuable to the vulnerable than the secured.

Body positivity" is garbage. People should be honest and support healthy lifestyles

Feels like you are falling in to the same critism trap that catches “Pride” events, lots of people say that they can be proud of lots of things, not nessecarily an indentity or sexuality.

But pride is more about not feeling shame for things you can’t control. Body positivity is about way more than overweight people, but being happy of who you are regardless of any stigma.

It’s not my place to say people should like “short kings”, I truly couldnt care less about individuals liking or disliking a given term. I just feel your reasoning would be better built upon infantalizing without attacking people that are fidng zen outside of unfair cultural stigma.

All the advice about going to HR is great, and you absolutely should.

But on a personal note, I’m really sorry you are dealing with this. Absolutely not even remotely okay for him to do this and you are well within your rights to force an end to this. Wildly unprofessional behavior and down right creepy behavior just on a personality level.

I hope you find peace from him soon.

Because they literally don’t know a single other phycologist. Just as most people couldn’t name a modern philosopher so would cite Socrates or Plato.

But jedi are the good guys cause they say they are the good guys.

That sounds familiar, had surgery on my back a few years ago which helped immensely but ever since then I’ve degraded. Walking for more than an hour puts me in pain for the rest of the day, which… Thankfully I’ve made work with my life. But even things like cleaning the house requires days long rest.

I’m so happy for you and your kids, I’ll keep that in mind when it gets painful. I truly appreciate your response. ♥

Proud of you. <3

Made another appointment for physical therapy. The last time I was in so much pain for the next couple of days I couldn’t function, but… I still can’t really move around like a normal person now anyways, so I gotta give it another shot.

Thanks for asking.

Hahaha aww, that’s cute and awesome!

The only acceptable use of a “gender reveal party!” 😉

You absolutely should! It’s funny because she was kinda nervous about the idea because she was worried that it might be insulting since I’m not like, a baby. But I laughed so hard when I opened the box, and it’s slayed everyone I’ve shown it too. 10/10, best gift ever.

Specially because that was otherwise a pretty bleak Christmas, had no blood family or girlfriend anymore. But my best friend from high school became my new family, so it all worked out I think!

So I’m trans. And what I would bring is the Christmas ortament I got from a friend after coming out that says “Name’s first Christmas”.

Bingo. I use y’all for everything. Even the singular. It’s casual, neutral and relaxed.
