Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
Nah, that's not the problem. Problem is that I never really learned the dimensions of my car. I have great trouble knowing where the edges of it are. It's not that I don't see things, or don't see them clearly, it's that I don't realise the far side of my car has got too close to them because I don't have an instinctive knowledge of how far out it goes.
Oh well. I've booked another driving lesson with my old instructor, hopefully that'll help.Quotebox

Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
That was awesome!
but I just needed some hugs.
I had a dream like that once. Except I was already married, and the woman in question wasn't my wife. And I knew that in the dream, and kept trying to get myself out of the situation. (As in, The Voice In My Head kept saying "this isn't right. This isn't {wife's name}! Stop it!")Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
I don't have much useful advice, but that's definitely a good idea.
Heh, those two are great.
Second, I have to put one of my cats down tomorrow so any hugs would be a nice thing. She is an old girl that have been with us for about 8 years now, but she is getting depressed and hurting and not coming out to see us much. I do love her and will miss her, but I know this is the best thing for her. I know this isn't LGBTA+ related....but I just needed some hugs.Jude P.

I have an unconventional problem (sort of...I guess it's pretty conventional for trans girls but bleh). I need help identifying some heels. I've got two pictures for reference, but one's nsfw-ish and I can't share it here. Anybody know their shoes?
Spoiler: Here's the one I can post. Obviously not my legs, unfortunately.
Normally, I really hate heeled shoes, but there are a couple kinds that appeal to me...this is one of them. Not knowing what they're called or where to find them is killing me.

Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
They aren't my shoes, I can't check. I want them, which is the problem. (although I'd never, ever find any my size, probably) They came from some online Japanese store or something, that's all I can really say about them.
And I could probably send it to you if you're on Skype. It's not grossly nsfw.vape naesh

Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
That was more joke-y than anything else. Though if it's from an online store... If the image is actually used in the advertising, you could tineye it. That picture doesn't register, but maybe the other would?

Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
Wingtip instead of oxford gets thinner shoes. I do not know why. But the patterns have all been wrong so far. What I put first pulled up the right pattern.

Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
*awkward Finnish hugs to Irish* That's never an easy decision and it must be hard. Try to remember the good things about her later.
Hm, a documentary might actually work at least somewhat (because if it's in television, it's got to be a real thing, right?). Unfortunately I don't think there is anything in Finnish available. My parents speak English relatively well, but wouldn't watch anything without Finnish subtitles.
A lot of time there is a worry on the part of the parents that you will never be happy or find someone. Not that you need too, but I have found most parents want their kids to find a SO. You may want to assure them that you are healthy, happy and can fall in love. Even though those seem silly to say, my mom broke down crying once because she was afraid I wouldn't ever find love. Find an example to show them what being asexual is like, maybe ask them how they feel toward good friends of the same sex. Be ready for a LOT of questions, and for the questions to repeat. It will get frustrating but not many people know much about asexuality and by asking questions they are trying to help. They may lash out a little, mostly because they are frightened about your future (I experienced this a little), but just comfort them when this happens.
Does that help at all?
I guess what I mean is that I wish my parents would accept that I might well live my whole life 'alone' and be happy like that. If I run into another person that triggers same kind of emotions in me than my ex then that's great, but it's not something that would be necessary. Do I make sense?
I really don't wish belittle the fact that romance can make you happy, and that for many people (proabably most) that is an essential part of their happiness. I hope I didn't sound like that.
Thank you for the answer. Sigh, I'm afraid my mother is one of those people who would think sexuality is something so entirely different that you can't compare it to other things.. My father, hmm, I don't really know, maybe.
I suspect Athedia is on to something when she mentions parents worrying about you not being happy. I mean, I can imagine worse reactions, but I feel this is a likely stumbling block for parents who are normally pretty progressive or supportive: they won’t reject you or refuse to believe you (hopefully), but they might be worried about it or think of it as a deficiency of some kind rather than just, you know, the way you are.
There are a lot of fun and fulfilling things in the world, too many for anyone to experience in one lifetime. If you remove all the options that involve sex and/or romance... I’m pretty sure there’s still too many for one lifetime.
(None of this helps with how to raise the topic in the first place, I know - I'd be equally stumped in your place.)
Yeah, I would kind of like to talk about being demi, but... Yeah. Might be better not to.Last edited by CWater; 2014-08-08 at 02:42 PM.

Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
No, I get it. I was talking from my experience since I am biromantic. Still assuring them that this is what makes you happy is important. You make plenty of sense to me.
I would stress the fact that your friendships are important to you. Again it will take multiple explanations, and sometimes it is helpful to start with the largest idea (asexuality) and move down (romantic orientation).Moved my stuff over to HERE!

Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
Sex makes everything confusing.
It's also incredibly enjoyable.
I hate feeling the need to be sexual, then getting crushed between that need and all my hangups and confusion. I'm not even with anyone, and I'm having problems.

Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
So, bad news: I'm probably fired. The job was terrible though, plus I wasn't allowed to wear nail polish or even keep my earring in (???) so, hey.
Good news: I met a very cute trans boy at a meetup on Wednesday, we started talking online on Thursday and I somehow managed to get a date to IKEA before I even realised he was flirting with me.

Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
People on HRT:
Please tell me I won't always feel like this. Please tell me dysphoria goes away. There is a gilded yellow electricty beneath my skin. It sits on my meat like crawling beetles. My body is wrong. My skin is wrong. My everything is wrong. I feel like I've squeezed into a rubber suit too small for me. I feel like I will always feel this way. I feel uncomfortably masculine tucked behind lies and delusion. My body feels wrong I am worried it will always feel wrong. I've been on the edge of an anxiety attack for hours. I want to cry. I want to claw out my eyes and scream.
Hitting walls is temporary relief. Feeling anything visceral blocks it out, scatters the bugs between me and the world. But they come back and there is an omnipresent psychic buzz. I am going crazy.
It's called a faerie lover; an idealized romance in your dreams that becomes a chronic issue as your desire for this ephemeral perfect mate cuts you off from acceptable but less perfect real matches. Beware.
I understand.
I want to say stilleto heel, but I suppose I missed the point and you wanted brand and season.

Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
If you're talking about the feeling of not being on HRT and having dysphoria, then yes, all hose feelings are things that I remember, bur were swallowed by the magnificent and deep calm that flooded in with the spiro and the ineffable joy of the estrogen. It really is amazing the difference. I almost don't remember myself sometimes from before the changeover, as though it was a different person who lived that dysphoric half-life, it's so different now...

Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
So this is going to seem pretty minor compared to all of the ACTUAL persecution gay people face, and the discrimination and potential psychological issues a lot of trans-folks have, but...
How the hell is an asexual guy supposed to date? I've tried not talking about it until the subject "comes up" (teehee) but then I just come off as untrustworthy; "if you wouldn't tell me this during the first date then what else are you keeping from me" and that kind of thing. But on the occasions where I "out myself" to my date early in the relationship, they've usually found it off-putting. I'm trying to figure out when the best time to bring it up might be, because it's caused the demise (or premature self-destruction) of several otherwise lovely relationships already. I'm not a terribly socially-adept guy to begin with, so figuring out the dating scene was never going to be easy, let alone with this particular wrinkle thrown in.Before you ask, I didn't know what it meant when I put it in my username. Do NOT ask.

Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
Well personally I don't think I'd even consider dating someone unless they were a close friend, and my close friends know I'm asexual. But that's just me. I've never actually dated but it does seem like a problem. It would probably be best to get it out of the way early, just in case they're not okay with it. Or, I'm not sure how open you are about your orientation, but if many of your acquaintances knew about it you might be able to get a date with someone who has heard it already and is okay with it? Or even another ace person!

Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
Seek help, immediately. If you're still living with her, seek other accommodations is my first advice: if the environment has become toxic...
If you need someone to vent to, I'm available. But try to get local support. A friend, a coworker, social services, your college counselor, SOMEONE. If you think it's the right thing to do, go to the police. If you don't feel up to file a police report, at least get somewhere safe and be safe, okay?
You have my support for whatever you need. *hugs*
