I also received an invite on reddit. Looks like they have tiers/groups based on how much karma or mod actions you have. They're working their way highest to lowest, and ending with everyone with a reddit account getting an invite at the very end. https://redditforcommunity.com/Directed-Share-Program. I have a feeling the stock will tank so I'm not biting lol.

edit to add - that's funny that you still got an invite after being a mod of a banned sub because they said they're filtering accounts that aren't in "good standing." Guess you aren't super in trouble! lmao.

Absolutely great for lesbians who have always been confident in their lack of attraction to men! I am one myself, full gold star or whatever, but I don't think that makes me better than other lesbians who had a different journey. Some women unfortunately have to deal with pressure from society, parents, religion, internalized homophobia, etc. And they end up having to "grin and bear it" and sleep with a man before eventually coming to terms and accepting their sexuality.

The original founder way way way back (like 10 years ago) realized she was bisexual and left because she didn't feel right running a lesbian sub.

Later, a few more mods left and formed r/lesbianactually instead (5 years ago).

r/actuallesbians was rudderless at times, for a brief moment a straight dude was in charge by accident because he had helped them with coding and when r/lesbianactually team left he was inadvertently put in charge by order of age/seniority.

He left too, and it's current head mod Mollysomething took over. Pretty sure she's actually a woman but the second highest mod was trans and they dated for a while. The two of them were super heavy handed in modding based on personal feelings and created the culture it has now.

Pup is good! Wound was shallow because my girlfriend saw the pitbull coming and tried to pull our dog away at the last second. So the pitbull's teeth weren't able to get in too deep, it just wouldn't let go once it bit down. Vet did a 'clip and clean' and put her on antibiotics for a bit. I think it freaked us humans out way more than the dog.

Luckily there were some people at the dog park we had met before (our dogs befriended each other). They tried to help remove the pitbull and calmed us down after.

I was sympathetic to pitbulls until my dog was attacked and it was a nightmare trying to get it to release it's jaws from my dog's neck. Now I'm in the camp of many of them have bad owners, but also the breed was bred for fighting. I do know some nice ones but I don't trust the breed as a whole and will leave the dog park (or where ever I am with my dog) if I see one. I don't want them euthanized or anything but I don't think they should continue to be bred. Let the current ones live out their lives with responsible owners and move on.

Is the player on a girls BB team who sucker punched a girl female? by SanityIsGC in GenderCritical

If she's the daughter of a former NBA player I'd expect her to be tall for a female.

As for starting on the boys team, I did sports when I was a kid and the best female players played with the boys teams. I think they did that when they wanted more of a challenge. When they got older and joined official school teams they switched back to the girl's teams, usually varsity. It was just the community youth leagues where they played on the boys teams.

Actually even I was on youth soccer team when I was super little where the only girls were myself and a friend of mine I'm still in contact with. Then as I got older I was on girls team. A girl from my school was on the boys team but was also friends with a bunch of my team. She would sometimes come and help us at practice.

What to do with multiple personality disorders and different "alters"? by WhyAreYouSoDumb in GenderCritical

[–]ShotTopic 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

DiD (Dissociative Identity Disorder) is a very rare condition that has been over diagnosed (self diagnosed) by, usually, teens testing different personalities and trying to figure out who they want to be. They've turned a serious disorder into a fun quirky role play sort of thing. It's super insulting to the rare individual who actually has it. For those who legitimately have DiD, it's usually a trauma response to something that happened as a young child. The brain tries to protect itself by creating an alter to store those trauma memories so the "host" doesn't have to remember them.

See https://www.reddit.com/r/DIDCringe/. So many teen girls fake it and it's become a bit of a trend, especially on TikTok.

It's completely normal for teenagers to "try on" different personalities for a while as they figure out who they are (jock, prep, etc). Unfortunately, this is a new method for that and it's really insulting to those who do suffer from DiD.

You have to pick your battles. If you value this friendship just say "they" when required, or use their first name more often if you're hesitant. There's a difference between discussing your concerns about groups/trends online and having a personal interaction with someone you care about that can get hurt.

Personally, I don't have a problem with using people's chosen pronouns offline. For me, this stuff doesn't happen often and I don't care enough to stress about it offline; plus I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. If I feel weird about it or struggle to change someone's pronouns when speaking because of how I perceive them (such as someone who doesn't pass at all or only very recently came out), I just avoid using pronouns in general about them.

But that's just how I handle things, I'm not one for confrontation and have a hard time being purposely rude. If you want to burn this bridge that's up to you.

I found the post you're referencing and I don't think that's what the OP intended, but I can understand how it can be read that way and how hurtful that can be when viewed through a certain lens. I'm not a survivor myself, just dated one and supported her through all the court/therapy/panic attack stuff.

I know for some people it can be a source of doubt in the confidence of their sexuality (or they may have been told by others it should be a source of doubt), so I can't imagine reading a post with similar vibes was fun. And anyway, it's not like sleeping with women magically negates the risk of flashbacks caused by sex. So I really don't see the idea OP was bringing up (survivors faking their sexuality to avoid sleeping with men or something) being something that happens much, if ever.

Anyway, I hope your night gets better.

It's not that I'm brushing off concerns stemming from this post, it's that this election has larger long term impacts looming. Right now, I'm more worried about the health of our nation (if you're also in the US) and the health of our planet than I am about trans stuff. COVID, health care, climate change, environmental regulations, the supreme court, etc. Get Trump and as many anti-science GOP members out of office first, worry about the rest next.

The point of my comment is that I don't want this one town hall question to be the reason GC people don't vote for Biden or don't vote blue down the ballot. The GOP is no friend to women's rights.

[–]ShotTopic 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

This is from Sims University isn't it? Were they all actually pride flags or just different colored banners, some of which are pride flags? I can't remember and I'm too lazy to wait my Sims game to load haha. I do remember there was a rainbow flag and a bisexual flag, because I've used those for a couple different characters.

Damn OP. You're going to make me want to play Sims again.

Sexuality is a personality trait, according to commenters on r/lgbt (but not upvotes?) by reluctant_commenter in LGBDropTheT

Probably a lot of people just upvote and move on without reading comments. The ones who want to disagree with a post have more reason to comment about it.

Other places for lesbians? by Lesbianese in Lesbians

[–]ShotTopic 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

r/ActuallyLesbian is decent for Reddit, but it's super small and rather quiet. They do allow trans users but don't allow trans topics (either direction). You can't really talk about anything controversial though, just casual discussions. I've seen trans people complain it's a "terf sub", and I've seen people on SaidIt complain about them allowing trans users. Seems like they're trying to be something in the middle and I'm guessing they'd risk getting banned pretty quick by reddit if they weren't.

But like I said it's small and quiet. I'm not aware of anywhere active unfortunately, even this place gets quiet (or I just forget about it frequently). There is a Discord server for TrueLesbians but I forget about that one too. Plus it's a chat room which isn't my favorite format, I like the Reddit/SaidIt forum style.

For what it's worth, it's a tiny school district. This person received 155 votes. Runners up received 145, 122, 111, 89, 82, 51, and 31 votes each.

Edit: from their Instagram they just seem like an effeminate indigenous gay man who does drag and art, which cool, good for them! Is non-binary considered the same thing as trans? I don't think I understand non-binary at all.

Board members decide the otherall direction of a school district. Hire superintendents, approve budget / set spending priorities, approve curriculum / textbooks, decide school closures, stuff like that. The degree of power and responsibility really depends on the size of the district.

In this case the Passamaquoddy Indian Township Reservation only has like 700 people so it's a tiny tiny school district.

After looking it up, seems you have to take a picture of your face and an AI program determines your sex. If it doesn't tag you as female the app team can review the photo (they said this happens to females 1 in 500 times). And if a male slips through you can report them.

Yep. There were a few comments that were like "a trans woman with a penis can still go down on you" and a really graphic one about prostates (user deleted that one pretty quick) that pissed me off.

I happen to LIKE bringing another woman pleasure, I don't care as much whether I receive anything in return (I'm dating someone with trauma that means she can't always return the favor, which I don't mind). I'm a gay woman. I like vaginas. I want nothing to do with prostates.

Just take care of yourself, unfortunately not much you can do other than vent. Not having control over his actions towards others is probably going to make you feel worse, it might bring up some old emotions, so do what you need to feel safe. I don't use SaidIt super frequently but I'll leave it up for a little while tonight in case you need to talk or vent or whatever.

(Not a survivor myself, I've just been alongside someone who is and I've helped her through a lot of things. From talking to detectives to researching therapists). RAINN has lots of resources.

Do you treat women who you find out are lesbians differently? by RedditHatesLesbians in Lesbians

[–]ShotTopic 15 insightful - 1 fun15 insightful - 0 fun16 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I feel way more kinship with other lesbians. I'm generally a pretty quiet and shy person, but I'll open up if I suspect a stranger might be gay. Way more helpful and friendly with them.

Back in my old retail job days in college, helping a lesbian couple pick out stuff for their house (hardware store) always brightened my day.

I feel safer around other lesbians and am more protective of them, they're my tribe even if they're a stranger. For example, one time a woman who pinged my gaydar got off the bus at the same stop as me. She and two men got off via the front door, I used the back door. I was keeping an eye on her the whole way we walked just on the off chance she might need help or protection. (The dudes got really close to her, but they ended up just walking faster and went around her).

It's not that I wouldn't help "straight-passing" women, but I'm just more aware of women who seem like they're my people. Otherwise I tend to kinda zone out and be lost in my head, listening to earbuds or something.
