Balsa solidified the spear as my favorite weapon. She’s just too damned cool

noeinan

There’s a new series coming out?

noeinan

Your boyfriend thinks your friend may kill herself and he was trying to give you a heads up. He phrased it really weird but your reaction was really weird too. I see no reason why that had to turn into a fight.

Maybe check in with your friend.

Maybe try the lightning bolt method it’s more minimalist and flowy. I learned drawing boxes too but found it makes drawings very stiff.

noeinan

It looks like you are drawing symbolically instead of drawing what you physically see. Everything is simplified and the pose is reduced to a more common pose.

The model’s torso leans to the left more than your drawing. The arms on the model are longer and thinner. The left arm is raised higher and bent sharper. The torso is forward facing but you drew the torso pointing towards the right.

My advice would be to draw more what you see and less try to draw a symbolic person in a similar pose.

If testosterone dominant, I don’t see why we would. Menopause is caused by producing less estrogen/progesterone and is treated with HRT. We are already producing less estrogen and progesterone and we are already on HRT.

If you are having menopause like symptoms, you should go to a doctor. There might be something else going on.

Side locks or ear locks

Totally normal. That’s a Boar King. Like a Rat King but with boars

Yeah, I think the way you phrased things just came off badly. Like I said, it's a very sensitive topic and kids are dying right now so a small mistake in wording can turn into a very big deal for many people.

I think that is likely the culprit in this scenario.

noeinan

Trans groups tend to skew very left, so if the topic was the genocide in Gaza I'm not surprised you got that response. Given all the video footage, firsthand accounts, and other evidence of really horrible human rights violations, saying you want to "stay in your lane" is likely to be interpreted as "enlightened centrism" or "not picking a side" which is going to go over poorly when the topic is children being murdered.

This kind of topic is very sensitive so I think if you went to 20 trans groups 19 of them would ice you out for making a similar statement.

If you say something like "Honestly, everything is so overwhelming I don't keep up with the news" people would be more understanding but "stay in my lane" carries a lot of hidden meaning that you likely did not intend to convey. That phrase is used to criticize someone being a bad ally or weaponizing allyship towards one group against another. Or to distance oneself from two marginalized groups infighting when they are on even footing. So people can take it as you think anyone not Jewish or Palestinian should stay out of the discussion, or that you think Israel and Palestine are basically the same with no power imbalance or magnitude different in committed crimes. Basically it makes you come off like you are defending or excusing an ongoing genocide which is not going to make you popular with people who are emotionally devastated by children being murdered en masse.

The cis woman telling you to "stay in your lane" on women's rights is just flat out a TERF. Trans women have been fighting for women's rights longer than she has been alive.

noeinan

A lot of social groups can be really cliquey, and unfortunately trans people aren't immune to that.

You may have just been unlucky, or maybe there's something about these groups that's attracting you that you haven't realized yet.

More context would help diagnose the issue. How are you finding these groups? Can you remember specific topics and what you said?

Also, are you neurodivergent? I'm autistic and that can be very isolating in communities that rely heavily on toxic allistic communication.

noeinan

Hair cuffs (shorter) hair wraps (longer)

noeinan

If you tell them to stop and they don’t then they are shit friends and you can find new ones.

noeinan

It is normal to get a divorce when your husband emotionally abuses and controls you.

noeinan

Idk why you have any contact with them at this point, it seems their presence only makes your life worse.

My advice is cut contact or scam them
For money by lying. But scamming is risky bc you still have to hear from them and they will drive you to kill yourself.

noeinan

No, I like being a guy

noeinan

NOR that is rape, why would you stay with a rapist

noeinan

Your friend doesn’t sound very nice.

If you can physically sing, your voice is made for singing. That’s such a ridiculous thing to say.

Keep the lessons up, get better friends.

noeinan

Personally, I think smaller is better for anal. Everyone is different. I doubt it will be an issue but if it is then you can just wear a sheath sometimes. No big deal.

noeinan

Polyamorous is not an orientation like being gay. Why? Because monogamy expects both people to feel attraction outside the relationship and choose to remain faithful regardless of. The vast majority of monogamous people are capable of feeling attraction to multiple people at once.

Regardless, don’t agree to polyamory if you don’t want it. Break up if you have to, sometimes people grow incompatible with time and that’s life.

noeinan

Just leave. She beat you and has zero legs to stand on asking you to stay. Maybe try getting custody in the divorce, you don’t want her hurting the kids bc she lost her punching bag.

For bipolar, that’s simply not an excuse. Most people with bipolar don’t turn into domestic abusers.

noeinan

If he made a huge deal and said it was bc of a dare then people would think he was weird for advertising he shit himself. Leaving quietly is the best case scenario.

He’s very embarrassed and taking it out on you, but you did not force him to shit himself. NOR he’s immature.

noeinan

Break up with your girlfriend. It literally doesn’t matter whether your friend is interested bc cheating and monkey branching is shitty. Break up then you can figure out the rest.

noeinan

She can’t prevent a breakup, a breakup only needs one person. Tell her it’s over then even if she doesn’t accept it that’s her problem. Just block her.
