Straddler-on-Straddler advice 11 years, 5 months ago
Hello,
I recently started a GSA/QSU/Coalition at my high school. We had a really good turn out for our first meeting, considering my school is really unspirited about most things. I am trying to think of topics that we could discuss at our next meeting. Any suggestions? -

Autostraddle Over 30 11 years, 6 months agoHey y’all–
I’m not sure how to reply to an individual thread so I’ll just cast the net wide and say hello to everyone. I see some people are in their early 30’s–hopefully you are all enjoying the greater sense of self that comes with surviving your 20’s!
I feel like I can now say with the confidence born of experience, It Gets Better. :-)

Hey straddlers so i have a non-straddler question that involves my dad. My dad is quitting smoking and i know this is gonna be crazy hard for him but i was wondering if anyone had any advice to make this easy on him? Like atmosphere wise? If anyone has gone through the process of quitting i could use some advice. I’m so proud of him and thought i…[Read more]

When my father quit smoking he’d put the money he want to spend on cigarettes and put it in a jar and bought a new stereo with the money. It worked really well, but he didn’t have all that much trouble stopping.
My mother was a different story. She would look for something to fight about, so she could become upset and use it as an excuse to…[Read more]

I am single again, after breaking up with my first bf (I am bi) and I’m wondering if I should start dating so soon or not. I’m still pretty sad, basically what happened is my bf figured out he was gay and it was frustrating because he’s my best friend and I’ve been crushing on him for years and thought he was THE ONE and all that stuff. I feel…[Read more]

mass effect 3… so many conflicted feelings…
-
I think my biggest conflict with the game is which flavor of gay I want for my Shepard on subsequent playthroughs.
The struggle to choose between Liara or Traynor–to go with the alien woman I’ve been with since the first game, or to jump on the smartass comms officer with that deliciously British voice–I think I can finally sympathize with all…[Read more]

Yeah, I know! They made pretty good romance options. I went with Traynor my first playthrough (accidentally, did not know one could get locked into a romance in this game), but I felt they gave Liara a much more complex background (obviously, having 3 games to build it up with) so it was just more interesting with her.
I also tried playing from…[Read more]

I think I’m going to post this question in a few groups to try to maximize advice… Please comment if you have any thoughts!
I’m a queer cis femme college grad who just started seeing a female-bodied genderqueer person who goes by the pronouns they/their/them. I’m doing my best to get used to using these pronouns, which I consistently do when…[Read more]

honestly, you’ve answered your own question. really, do just go up to your partner and ask. they’re the only one who’ll know the right answer, and it won’t seem like you’re getting ahead of yourself at all.
-
thanks for your advice! i know it’s pretty obvious, but i just didn’t want to… you know… seem like i was falling too hard/too fast by suggesting that i’m talking about them ALL THE TIME. but i think i will just go ahead and ask next time we’re together. thanks again!
-
don’t worry about it! if anything, they’ll be flattered that you’re 1) willing to talk about them with your friends (seems like a small gesture, but it means a lot) and 2) concerned about being respectful and doing right by them. you really can’t go wrong here, so go for it!

PS: We already talked about how we feel the our school’s environment concerning the LGBT community, although we had an all girl turn out.
You can talk about who in the group is out and who’s not! In my GSA we always made sure noone inadvertently outed someone in their other social situations by mentioning what they may have said. We also discouraged talking about personal information from GSA outside of GSA.
You can also discuss whether anyone’s facing any hardships like coming…[Read more]
Thank you. I will keep them in mind.
