His name is Tango <3
Right now he keeps licking his leg where he has the infection, and I keep telling him, "Don't lick." Every time he gets up and moves away from me, then looks back mournfully like, "how could you?" and then he sulks off |

kudos to you for looking for answers outside of your child's experience. i think it's common for parents to play the ''wait and see'' game, expecting their kids to fill them in and tell them everything they need to know.
talking to grown transpeople, asking them ''what could your parents have done to make it easier for you?" and asking parents "what do you wish you would have known before/during the process?" will help you a lot. well done <3 |

I can sort of understand that feeling... I feel that way too, sometimes - but about little kids of colour, in predominantly white areas. I guess it's a different journey, but similar themes of exclusion, discrimination, assumptions, judgment, taunting and low self of steam...you gotta have some really loving parents, to make it through that shit.

I told a guy in my uni class that I was 36, and he said wow, I thought you were like ten years younger than that
I said oh. I'll take that as a compliment. and he said "It wasn't meant as one." thanks for nothing asshole |

Ilp: a couple of weeks ago i forgot to bring my ID to the store and freaked out. they sold me the wine without asking for the ID and i freaked even more.
Vixnix: assholes in the balkans would call me "lad" "young dude" as an insult. kinda like when someone calls you "boss" to condescend. fuck those assholes. |

I hope you laughed in his face for being such a tactless twerp. Why would anyone say something like that? Was it a critically failed attempt at a neg?

My most charitable interpretation is that he panicked and thought that if he claimed it was a compliment, he would be insinuating that there is something wrong with being above a certain age, or that it is preferable to be younger than to be older, or generally supporting sexist/ageist societal attitudes concerning women and beauty. In that panic, he said something stupid and immediately regretted it.
But this is being extremely charitable and assuming he has as many issues surrounding neuroticism and overthinking shit as I do. Occam's Razor would suggest that he's just a jackass. |

Well, he laughed as he said it. Laughed at me, I mean. As in "It wasn't meant as one. lol"
I think we were a similar age, and he figured I was ten years younger because I seemed less mature than him. It could have been a literary community snobbery thing too. It was an advanced screenwriting workshop and he was working on a Romeo and Juliet type story about a guy from a redneck Australian family falling in love with a Muslim refugee. And I was working on a murder mystery. There is definitely a kind of condescension in academic literary communities toward genres of fiction that are popular and escapist, like murder mysteries, sci fi, fantasy, romance. I think he laughed at me because I was 36 and not interested in tackling a respectable and meaningful adult topic. |
