Vodulas

Weird, but I also tend to run in nerdy circles. I have heard lots of other people talk about it just in passing and been asked directly

Kinda the opposite experience from me. I have heard it brought at the local brewery several times, and have even been asked directly what I thought of it as a non-binary person. Granted, that last one was with some regulars and they were legitimately asking if they should get their HP tattoo covered, but still

How do you figure that?

Oh, for sure, consuming outside the system that fuels that shit is probably the least harmful. And good to know about the Paramount DEI BS.

The key difference is that McAffrey and Roddenberry are both dead, and see no benefit from you tuning in to Star Trek or reading a Pern book (though I might suggest Eathsea instead). Supporting paramount is probably not great, but i do not know of any direct harm they are doing. Rowling directly benefits from purchasing Potter media, so purchasing supports transphobia.

Yeah, not a fan of the slogan, but at least the profits from the sale are going to Trans Lifeline

Nice, I will have to check it out

Appreciate the thoughtful response, and I get it. We all are trying to get by the best we can, and corpos are not making things easy. Have a good one too

Yup, it was shitty of the CEO to praise Trump's pick for FTC and the republican party in general. He was clearly sucking up to Trump. But he also did not remove a bunch of holidays from the calendar and reiterated they will continue ignore subpoenas from the US. I don't like what he said (and I had a talk with my partner about whether we should look elsewhere) but that is not bending the knee. It is a push and pull in regards to consuming products from awful companies and fulfilling needs. As long as they keep not complying with the US, I am tentatively going to stay with Proton. If you don't agree, that's fine, but no need to be a jerk about it.

Just started using. It seems to be a good calendar. We got the 2 person Proton account and family sharing is great. I think you can also share it with any another Proton account.

Your first and last sentences are a little incongruous. Being psychologically dependent on someone is not a good thing. It is a major problem when we get into the power dynamics of this particular relationship.

It’s not as though 29 and stunted 45 after abusive relationships are what you make them out to be.

This makes it so much worse, especially since you are very averse to therapy based on past posts.

Can you really groom a 29-year-old living with her parents who won’t let her come out?

Can a cis, 45 year old man with unresolved trauma groom a sheltered, abused 29 year old trans woman? Not technically, but the dynamics are closer to grooming than a healthy relationship. I'm glad you don't like the accusation. Hold that and maybe do a little introspection.

Look, I have zero experience with trans partners. I fuck up on my terminology with her.

That is another red flag.

And I call women “chicks” because my bi ex-wife did.

Really don't care. Don't do it.

I'm not digging for anything, that was surface level ick, and you made things a lot more so by adding details. This is such a bad situation and the potential for you to fuck up someone's entire life is so high.
