    Like I said, that’s not reasonable behavior. They didn’t clearly communicate what they expected from you, and then got angry about it. Also, if you didn’t do the dishes, I wonder if they would have been angry about that instead. From what you’re describing, it sounds like you made a very reasonable decision. But even if you were in the wrong (I don’t think you were), it’s still partly on them– ND people tend to need more concrete, direct communication, and it doesn’t sound like your partner is making an effort to communicate with you effectively

    Really though, I can’t imagine getting angry at someone for doing chores, unless it was super loud like vacuuming. It’s not like doing dishes makes much noise.

    Why does your partner expect you to bend over backward for them, when they are unwilling to do the same for you? Why are they expecting you to structure your whole life around them, when they aren’t taking any steps to coexist with you? (If something as quiet as you doing dishes in the other room keeps them up, why aren’t they using white noise and earplugs? You shouldn’t be expected to try to match their sleep schedule)

    Also, I still think it’s a bit crazy that they expect you home by 9:00, and 30min late is inexcusable. I assume that I’m younger than you, but with my friends it’s not uncommon to show up an hour late, and stay out until 1.

    I know this post probably isn’t the full story, but from what you’ve written, it your partner seems narcissistic and controlling. It sounds like they’re unwilling or unable to extend you grace, or see things your way, but they expect you to conform to their needs.

    I think it’s pretty unreasonable for them to have a curfew for you, and even more unreasonable that they’re angry about you being a half hour later than they assumed. (not to mention that you were literally at a group that you chose to go to specifically to be a better partner)

    Also they get angry at you when you do the dishes, right after they told you to, even though they weren’t sleeping? That’s not normal behavior. A mature person would simply talk to you in the morning, not start a fight (I’m sure a fight has 10x the effect on sleep compared to distant sounds of running water for 5 mins) Even if sleep is really that important to them, it’s unfair to expect you to tiptoe around them. Have they even tried white noise, or earplugs?

    They took a bunch of rich women, dressed them up in objectifying skintight suits, then flew them to space for 10 minutes in a glorified plane ride on the second richest guy’s dick shaped rocket. And we’re supposed to be “inspired”, meanwhile women who are actual rocket scientists and astronauts are being erased and removed from NASA’s web site because “woke dei” or whatever.




  • Yeah humans are actually all pretty close genetically compared to other species. And “race” as defined by society isn’t even a good predictor of genetic similarities, so for example if you take random people A and B who are black, and person C who is white, B and C will often be more closely related than A and B.

    Also as a sidenote, we are monkeys. Apes are now considered to be a type of monkey taxonomically.


  • I can relate to a lot of what you’re feeling. Being AMAB nonbinary is really hard. I feel envious of pretty much everyone else: of AFAB nonbinary people who have so much more space given to them by society, of binary trans people who feel euphoria and clarity when transitioning, and may eventually pass, but most of all of cis people who just naturally fit in as who they are.

    I’m currently taking low dose estrogen, but it’s not really having the effects I’d like yet and I’m constantly feeling conflicted about it, unsure whether I should double it or stop it.

    However I would really recommend that you DO try HRT, as it’s worth exploring, and it has mental effects as well. It’s an incremental process, so you’ll be able to boymode without difficulty for quite a while, and you can stop whenever if it’s not what you want. And if you are wanting to wear makeup and jewelry etc. looking more feminine, even subtly, will actually make you stand out less.

    Lastly, there are plenty of good women out there that will pick up on your feminine side and accept you. I have friends including cis women who I think genuinely don’t view me as a man, despite me still appearing as such.

    I haven’t figured out how to date though. It’s really rough being too feminine for straight women and too masculine for gay women. I’ve never been able to fulfill gendered expectations, when I experience a sapphic style of attraction, and I’m terrified of being seen as a creepy aggressive man.
