LGBT people can throw other LGBT people under the bus too, you are not exempt

LGBT people can throw other LGBT people under the bus too, you are not exempt
Basically any and all compliments make me feel like shit, it’s not a good quality of mine but its the truth
Before I transitioned being called handsome hurt, I didn’t want that. Since I transitioned I have been called beautiful and sexy. I still feel bad, I don’t believe them. It’s odd because… I can kinda see what they mean? Like I personally like how I look sooo much better now it’s insane, but from other people it feels like a lie. Or else it makes me feel like I’m just an object to them, like an exotic sex thing, not a person.
I work as a gpu/graphics programmer, and people say I’m smart and talented. I never believe it, ever. When I was young I did not do well in school, like special ed classes. That early life experience is still internalized. It’s why I push myself really hard at the detriment of my own health. I truly believe I am not a smart person despite recognizing why people think I am.
Last year I was diagnosed autistic with Persistent Demand Avoidance sub type. I have read online that PDA people often struggle with compliments. Its super fucked tbh, I can never feel good about any accomplishment, nothing is enough, and I feel unlovable.
Another person who is perfectly willing to throw LGBT people under the bus. We see you for what you are stop pretending moral superiority.
Can you elaborate on what “subpoenable information” means. Like I have a vague idea but im not super clear if thats like a legal term with special considerations or whatever. Elaboration would be helpful.
I feel similarly often, but I think it has started to push me towards growing out of spending so much time online. Lemmy definitely has not filled the same niche reddit did, in some ways it’s better but I am often disappointed what I see here as well. Even things like youtube I have started to watch less lately. It all is just starting to feel like hyper processed slop, like what am I really getting out of this thing I feel attached to?
The only social I really still enjoy lately is mastodon and that’s because it’s possible to make real connections with people there, it’s not about making viral posts that tons of people see. Though clearly I still visit lemmy, I find myself often wondering if it’s worth it.
I feel better consuming less social media, feel healthier. I have read so many books over the last year, just last month I read 16 books though that is an outlier. Not just fiction too, though that is the vast majority, but also pure math books. Smoking a lot less weed, I use to smoke it every day, I was high every day for years and years but now im close to just giving it up completely I think. I have started to exercise and eat better too and I am more willing to just be alone with my thoughts. Sometimes its painful but I think its good for me.
I don’t think it’s all down to just less social media, but it has been helping for sure.
Part of me often feels like if I don’t check social media im like doing something wrong, not participating in the world, like I /need/ to stay informed. But social media isn’t going to save the world, i’m not actually helping anyone or anything by reading and commenting on posts. Its an illusion of participation, a honey pot that just sapps away my time and my mental health and doesn’t give me the things I actually want like real human connection.
Alcohol, I just dont like the taste
I smoke weed occasionally but even that I have been trying to cut out cus I abused it for years
no no no dont you know saying that here on lemmy means your a taaannnnkkkieeeeee /s
Not being able to talk about capitalism in a tech community is like having a fishing community and not being able to talk about how the waters got shit in it.
Pop my knees
Smarties :3 tbh not a bad name for such a cutie 🥰
You should look up the double empathy problem. Its been shown that autistic people don’t struggle to communicate or be understood by other autistic people. Its only between autistic and non autistic people where the issues arise but only one side gets all the blame when the failure is both ways.
I could probably say the same about AI and crypto and mega yachts sure
But healthcare, housing, education, childcare, sustainable green energy, sustainable food production… All of them seem way more important than sending more junk into orbit.
The fact that you think these things are even remotely comparable is kinda part of the problem
Seriously how are space launches a priority right now when we are facing global ecological collapse
Thats what my brother does, but he is a cis het man who works in construction as an electrician. He is very left leaning so he does try to challenge things where he can.
But I can’t do that. I am a trans woman and confrontation legitimately would put me in danger and it wouldn’t work anyways. People claim I am biased because I am in a group who is being targeted, its bullshit beyond belief but thats how people are.
Your understanding of the effects of immigration is childish.
it never is, the employees are salary
I was talking to them recently about a job and their pay is kinda low for the industry too
Transphobia on lemmy with 400 upvotes… this website is getting worse every day
sometimes people will really fuckin hurt you and you won’t ever get an apology
