Others have answered your question, but a note regarding the term cis: it's not an acronym, it's just the opposite of "trans". Like the Romans referred to "Cisalpine Gaul" and "Transalpine Gaul" to talk about the two sides of the Alps. So you aren't a CIS man, just a cis man, just as I'm a trans woman and not a TRANS woman.

I should be safe and such, that's not a worry - she's a little old lady and my bf has my back.

The fucked up thing about being trans and having BDD is I have no idea if she'll notice. I live assuming that everyone can immediately tell, but my bf and some of my friends are insistent that I'm too hard on myself. I certainly can't trust my own perception on the matter. I can logically assume I'm maybe attractive based on how people flirt with me, but I imagine I'm cute in a clocky way so idk.

My partner's mama wants to come visit us soon 🙂

She's an old lady with lots of mental health issues and a whole slew of ignorant prejudices around race and sexuality 😶

She apparently doesn't know I'm trans 😬

A 3 year old can control a large dog if the dog wants to be controlled. If the dog wants to go do something else, that kid is going to have no chance to keep it in place.

I don't think big dogs are any meaner or more violent than other dogs, and they can be just as sweet, but there's a big difference between a poorly-raised pit and a poorly-raised dachshund when it comes to how much damage they are capable of, and how easy they are to stop.

Broke: disliking mj because she's not pretty enough

Woke: disliking mj because she has a stun gun that can consistently one-shot enemies even on hard mode and yet she never even thinks to share this technology with either of the spidermans.

If there is to be a right of return for Palestinians expelled during the Nakba and later, there's gonna be the question of what to do with all the Israelis who stole their land and homes. And that's not an insignificant portion of their current population.

Realistically, many citizens will flee just like with South Africa, but a Right of Return will bring some big complications beyond that.

That user is dronerights, talking about itself.

It was banned for transphobia.

Carnists like to complain that being vegan is expensive, as if all we eat are expensive meat substitutes rather than like, beans and such.

Got an email saying student loan payments are resuming. Obviously I'm not coughing up a red cent, but what are the odds this has an effect on, well, anything?
