DSM-5 posted:

For a person to be diagnosed with gender dysphoria, there must be a marked difference between the individual’s expressed/experienced gender and the gender others would assign him or her, and it must continue for at least six months. In children, the desire to be of the other gender must be present and verbalized. This condition causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

Straight & Fabulous, AMA

I'm pretty fabulous as well and I am often mistaken for a gay man by other gay men. This is compounded by the fact that I feel comfortable around them and I am very friendly to my fellow human beings. Also by the fact that sometimes when I'm really drunk I tell people I'm gay when other guys are annoying me with their sexual insecurities.

At times this has been a serious problem as over the course of my life I have accrued several gay crushes and one straight up gay stalker who texted me nightly for months despite never getting a response.

Sometimes I actually really wished I were gay. I like the way they party, I envy them being a "part" of a subculture and I also realize how goddamn easy it would be to get some manpoon at any hour of the day or night.

However, being reasonably handsome, dressing decently, and no being bothered by spending time with gay people is just the tip of the iceberg.

I've had friends who had lisps, high soft voices, a penchant for extremely "gay-seeming" hand movements, and a loose, swaying walk that absolutely screams gay.

Some of these friends actually were gay and had presumably adopted these affectations as a symbol of identity. Some of them weren't at all and their big cross to bear was every single person they meet instantly assuming that they're gay. I remember one of these friends in college asking me how he could change this and I told him don't bother, it'll be obvious if you try to impersonate more masculine people. Just go with the flow, when someone asks you tell them you're not gay and laugh at their disbelief, and don't give a gently caress about what anyone thinks because there would be nothing wrong with it if you were gay.

Plus, I told him he could probably parlay the entire thing into sleeping with a lot of girls.

holy poo poo man.... holy.... poo poo.

I've always heard it explained to me as being a lesbian trapped in a man's body but that notion seems ridiculous and childish next to this enormous wad of unrefined truth. And I always wondered why the guys who had crushed couldn't seem to accept that I wasn't really at all gay and never had been... their sixth sense (the gay one) told them otherwise.


Glenn Quebec posted:

Yes boats are so so stupid. Unless you are literally a fisherman or you live on the water.

For some reason my semi-redneck cousins have a new boat or a a new RV or SOME new piece of recreational equipment every time I see them. Their lives then begin to revolve around the upkeep and maintenance of these horrible albatrosses. They are nothing but a source of anxiety all year and even if/when they do get them out to the nearest lovely lake, the anxiety only increases that something bad will happen to it.

Meanwhile, it just sits in the backyard somewhere all year, depreciating in value by the second, spontaneously generating mechanical issues that won't be discovered until its much too late. And boats just get shittier constantly, it is futile to fight against the devaluation and slow destruction of them.

I've always wondered why people are always trying to add so much stress and confusion to their lives without good reason. Sometimes I fight with my girlfriend about this. For me, if something isn't useful on the daily then it's a waste of time and money that will probably end up being a huge problem once you inevitably have to get rid of it.

Eikre posted:

The only practical difference between "transgendered people have a problem where they're born in the wrong body" and "well ACTUALLY transgendered people have a mental illness where the right body for them isn't the one they were born into" is that even though you recognize that transitioning is the best choice which creates the greatest good, you still have the arbitrary desire to characterize that choice with stigma and weakness.

Basically, you have enough moral intuition that your standpoint is congruent with the correct one, but you take special care to articulate your standpoint using implicit pejoratives and a negative tone because justifying at least a little bit of hate towards trans people is important to you.

Hope this helps.

my favorite part is where you're trying really hard to be positive and progressive and ~rightthink~ but also seem to think that mental illness should be stigmatized to the point where it's a pejorative.

Hope this helps.

No. If you're not physically attracted to someone it's just as important as if you're not mentally attracted to them. You can try to "power" through it, but you'll just prolong the inevitable. You have a new awesome friend. Move on.

Yeah there's no possibility of recovery here. Something I learned is that the first time I EVER start to think "you know maybe this relationship isn't as great as I thought it was at first" the entire thing is essentially over. If it isn't ended civilly it will end in a spiral of regret and recrimination. You cannot force yourself to be attracted to someone (which kind of sucks now that I think about it)

There's a girl I talk to, I cant stop thinking about her. I think about her all day and dream about her most nights.

I think she likes me sometimes when I look up in class she's staring at me, she wants to hang around with me alot. I want nothing more than to be with her. I've liked girls before but nothing like this. Am I in love? What should I do?"

Tonight, two totally sustainable situations that will not end poorly at all no sir

quote:

I've known my good friend, let's call him Ryan, for a couple years now. We're roommates in this tiny apartment. I quit my job almost a year ago and have enough in my savings to last about 9 months to a year unemployed, depending on how much I spend on recreational stuff like beer or video games.

The thing is, Ryan is mega in love with me. I'm a single straight guy that sometimes go out on tinder dates, but can't get a girlfriend right now since I don't have a stable flow of income--zero income actually. Now, Ryan made a deal with me: He'd cover most/all the rent each month if he gets to do gay poo poo to me. Of course as a straight dude, I really don't want to have sex with him, but the deal was really good especially since I have no income. I agreed only to a few things like letting him kiss me on the cheek, grab/fondle my crotch, hug me, and maybe spooning. No sex, handjobs, blowjobs, and if I don't feel like doing gay poo poo that day to let me have like a day off once in a while or to leave me alone in the morning but you can fondle me at night, that kinda poo poo. Everything else needs to be negotiated because I don't want him jacking off right next to me or something without me at least knowing.

It was weird at first but it's been like 2 months and I guess I can tolerate it as long as I constantly go on tinder dates. He's a really nice guy and I feel kinda bad I can't love him the way he loves me, but poo poo! Rent is expensive and I'm practically "paying" it with my body and sometimes my mind. A kinda "rentboy" lol. I'm afraid that eventually I'll get sick of it and break his heart, but he's only attracted to straight and straight-acting guys so idk. Still looking for another job so that Ryan doesn't have to have the burden or paying for most/all the rent--though I feel even if I do get a new job he'll probably insist on playing with my balls.

Love the guy to death otherwise, just not in the way he would like me to. He understands I'm straight and that he can't change me and poo poo, so I'm hoping when I "break up" with him by insisting on paying rent or moving out, I'm pretty sure he'll understand and we go back to our regular lives.

quote:

I have a terrible fetish. I can only get turned on by women being killed violently. I have folders upon folders of this stuff on my computer. Photos of serial killer victims, mostly, and occasional screenshots from movies.

When I was single, I was capable of putting this stuff at the back of my mind. It was just a hosed up fetish, it otherwise had no real impact on my life. But I have a girlfriend now, and the fact that whenever we have sex I spend the entire time vividly imagining her dying in horrible ways is a problem. I feel like she thinks I'm not attracted to her anymore, but really it's just that I really care about her and that means that I basically can't have sex with her because I don't want to think about her dying.

Bullshit. This is why I said implicit pejorative. The confessor deliberately invokes mental illness with eye-rolling distaste so that he can forward his condescension on to transgendered people using mental illness as the vector.

It is certainly possible to have a perspective on mental illness which is simultaneously capable of treating it as a difficulty without also sneering about it, but this is simply not a position the OP took.

Not proud of this confession, but it should get some laughs.

In my senior year of high school I got kind of obsessed with Watchmen - read the graphic novel at least once a month and became convinced the Rorschach was the hero of the story and to be admired and emulated. I also started reading up on "real life superheroes", which were kind of a fad at the time for some reason.

This all culminated in me making a costume - a mask made out of a cut up pillowcase, black tights, a cheapass leather jacket, and a bunch of random poo poo I found from past Halloweens. I wore it in my bedroom (with the door locked) once, and wore it out in public once, driving around a bad neighborhood sans mask.

I felt like an idiot and realized I wouldn't do poo poo, so I packed it all up in a box and burnt it.

Probably not a coincidence that I didn't lose my virginity until I was 25.

Really thought this was gonna be a Kick-rear end-like story but anon was actually too smart for that, kudos :tipshat:

quote:

One time when i was like 16, me and my parents were driving around in the suburbs looking for yard sales, something we did to pass time boring summer weekends. Usually we started the day by stopping at a gas station, getting gas and fountain drinks. If we stayed out too long, eventually someone was going to need to pee and if that person wasn't my dad he would take his time getting home or to a gas station because he needed to stop at literally ever sale he saw.

This day, I was the one that needed to go and I need to go bad. I got to the point where I thought I might piss my pants so when my dad stopped at one sale my parents got out of the car but I stayed in. I looked around to make sure no one was watching and pissed into my fountain drink cup. It was probably a 44 oz cup and I was impressed at how much I filled it up, my piss filled easily over half the cup.

Once my parents got back in we drove off to and I knew I had to get rid of the cup so for some reason I decided I'd just throw the cup out the window the next time the car stopped (like a stop sign or red light) and there were no other cars around. I rolled down the window in preparation for whenever the time presented itself. We ended up at an intersection on two quiet streets, so I thought now was my time. While we waited at the the red light some woman out running with her dog came up to the corner on my side and stopped waiting for us to go before crossing. I wasn't going to let that stop me from getting rid of my piss cup so I through it out anyway. I had the lid on the cup and hoped when it fell to the ground everything would stay in but instead the thing exploded and piss flew all over the woman's dog and probably her legs. My parents were disgusted at me but too embarrassed to yell and the red light felt like it lasted forever. I don't think the woman knew what was in the cup because she just stared at us without saying or doing anything.

I don't tell anyone about it in real life but I think it was probably one of the funniest things I ever did. In hindsight my mom thought it was funny too. I'm glad it was a time we shared together.

How do you gently caress up discretely throwing a cup out the window so badly? Like he explicitly was waiting for a place where nobody would see it happen, then for some unexplicable reason he spikes it at a joggers feet+dog?

Why couldn't you just wait until you got home and dump it out in the sink and throw the cup out after? If you didn't act weird/sneaky about it you could even do it in the same room and your parents (assuming they weren't close enough to see/smell it) would just assume you're dumping out leftover soda.

One time my friend peed into a Wendy's cup and we threw it out the window on I-94 in Chicago. Unfortunately there was a cop behind us and he pulled me over for littering. I told him the cup got a hole in the bottom and was leaking which is why we threw it out the window. I still feel this is one of the best lies under pressure I have ever told.
