Lesbian, Gay, Trans, Messed-upFork?

"Unsure"

I found a website called "Out of the Fog" that opened my eyes to the abuse I was suffering at the hands of my ex.

It made me feel like I wasn't crazy, and gave me the courage & tools I needed to finally escape that relationship.

Suspicious that this is a trick, but I can't say I'm not intrigued.

New ice cream topping idea!

I feel very seen. Thank you.

Lying for what? Clout? On Lemmy?

It's a real, scientifically named thing?? Wild!

The fine line between creepy and romantic is how attracted to the person you end up being.

"Fickle females love sneaky creeps, as long as they're good-looking! Tee-hee!"

Fuck off with that shit.

Creep shit is creep shit. End of story.

You're the kind of person women warn each other about.

HAHA I love this!!

But it's absolutely understandable (to me, at least).

Lots of women especially seem to be so versatile. Can seemingly switch looks at will! So cool.

But also so confusing LOL

No joke: guy tried to pull this with me, except I'm not blind. I do, however, have this thing where if you change your look (new hair, heavy makeup, whatever), my brain basically registers you as a different person.

So we met on a dating site, had gone out, I wasn't really feeling it, so I wished him well and moved on. Matched with another guy almost 2 months later, and he seemed cool so we set up a date.

It took me a while, but I swore I knew him from somewhere, just couldn't put my finger on it, but then I realized: he smelled familiar. That's how I figured it out.

Dude darkened his hair, wore sunglasses, swear to god: wore fake facial piercings, and changed his overall style.

He "wanted another chance" and wanted to show that he "could change for [me]!"

No. No no no. No thank you. This ain't a romantic comedy with you in the starring role. Goodbye.

I can barely imagine the mental and emotional toll it would take on a person to be trans and have to deal with this kind of shit.

Y'all earned the right to be left the fuck alone and live in peace.

People not taking the time to understand something that is explained to them.

This can apply to technology, mental health, etc. Drives me bonkers.

Example:

"I don't get why my cats don't like hanging out with us!"

"The cats are constantly picked up and dragged out of spots they go when they are stressed from all the noise. You forcing them to 'cuddle' and 'bond' with you is doing the opposite."

— continues to do the same thing, stress out their cats, and complain about it —

Yes! Burrowing through drywall is another... "endearing" trait of the Sulcata!

Absolutely! But also tbf, as a self-proclaimed idiot, I've never knocked over a toilet before.

A lizard without scales! At least this particular lizard. It makes their natural instincts vs. their physical sensitivities a nightmare to balance.

I would bring a bunch of fossil rocks & Petoskey stones!

Or my enormous collection of rare (not gonna say the brand) plushies! I'm one of the handful of people who have a special "good community citizen" plush from them!

Or my dumb lizard who was born without scales. I like to educate folks on why they should never get one.

Poor guy was in an environment too small for them.

Not an asshole! Just an idiot.

But most reptiles are idiots. Love 'em!

Tbf, it's fucking weird to ask a middle schooler about their political leanings.

If you're being a good example, good on ya'.

But remember that the Christian faith has caused many folks unimaginable pain and trauma, especially with their vocal involvement in current going-ons.

I love me some Jesus, but I absolutely avoid self-proclaimed Christians. Why? I just don't want to put myself in situations with people who 98% of the time have hateful ideology. I don't want it. That is why folks are wary.

If you are a Christian who looks down upon the poor, foreigners, handicapped, disabled, the mentally struggling, the LGBTQ+, or anyone else, you're a shit Christian who doesn't follow the teachings of Christ.

If you want to preach Jesus' message of love and acceptance, more power to you. But you will have a big job ahead of you, because part of your job is to denounce those who preach hate.

You can claim to be a "good Christian" all you'd like, but many will be skeptical unless your actions prove you to be a true follower.

If that's your goal, you're on the right path. But do know where others are coming from when they voice their distrust of your intentions. They are not attacking you, but the institution that has hurt so many both now & in the past.
