Okay I'm sorry I need to rant about this for a second cos it's gonna bother me if I don't. The fact that some people try to imply that if you as a bi woman are into men who aren't traditionally masculine or men who are comfortable enough in their own masculinity that they are not afraid to dress in a gender non-conforming way (or god forbid you are into nonbinary people cos some of you still can't process the fact that bi people are into all genders) then you MUST be a lesbian and the man you are into is actually secretly gay cos he decided to dress differently once... The fact that these same people will act like they are so supportive of bi people and then try to go out of their way and convince you that you are in fact something else is just insane to me. I know exactly who I am and who I'm attracted to. I'm sure you do too. I'm not gonna go ahead and start making posts about how I think you aren't actually a lesbian cos you find some male celebrity attractive (for the record I definitely don't think that I just couldn't think of another example) And if I realize down the line that I'm actually lesbian then that's fantastic! But that'd be for ME to discover. For now I know exactly who I'm into and I know what I need and if you are not bisexual you don't get a say in what bisexuality is. It's that simple.

are you a girl or a boy? or are you one of those confused gender fucks that goes by they/them?
okay.. well, let's just start off by saying that you should probably be a little bit more tactful if you want an actual response.. for 1. you shouldnt ask this question in general because is it not your business. im not sure if you're asking what my gender is, what i was assigned at birth, what my pronouns are, or if you're just finding a rude way to say that i look androgynous enough to be non-binary while also sneaking in a not-so-subtle dig at a whole group of people.. alternative (more appropriate) question: what are your pronouns? for 2; this could be incredibly harmful to people who are non-binary or have issues with their gender. can i remind you that gender dysphoria is a real and should be taken very seriously, and is recognized in the medical field. it took so long for trans and non-binary people to get rights and recognition that im shocked people still have trouble with it.. please understand that somebody existing does not give you a right to any information about them. thirdly, what you said that i find harmful is "confused gender fuck". somebody can call themselves that in jest, but i recommend not calling somebody that unless you have had a conversation with them one-on-one and established that boundary. "girl and boy" (which i assume you mean my assigned sex) is not the same thing as gender, nor is any of this the same as pronouns. your question is harmful because its so narrow, and even though im a cisgendered female who goes by she, i will try my best to stand up for the people whose voices arent heard because of oppression and ignorance. its fine because you asked me, and i just tried to explain why this question is harmful, but you could actually do harm to somebody if you end up asking random people things like this while they're in the hight of their gender issues im not trying to attack anybody, i just think that its important to try your best to consider everybody if you're trying to be socially-conscious, and maybe somebody will come by this and finally understand it from a different perspective.. *please note i only have a baseline of knowledge as all of this is just what i understand in the most basic terms, please correct me if im wrong about anything because i really dont want to go on thinking i have a grasp on something that im misinformed about in reality*

Here you go, @emraldblade16
I just realized I didn't say anything about my carrd (and therefore rules) on my pinned post... maybe I should've made some things clearer. But, since you couldnt have known, I've decided to make a one time exception to my rules. I hope this is about what you wanted? I wasnt sure how to go about this, and extremly anxious, trying to make sure I do well. I hope you like it QwQ
(Btw, I know you asked for a female reader and while I tried, these came out mostly gender neutral. I hope that's fine >~<)
Relationship headcanons for DIO, Trish & Polnareff w/ a female s/o
DIO 💚
Tumblr media
Dio rarely truly cares for people, and love... it was almost like a foreign word to him
But you, you were... special. There was something he felt looking at you, something indescribable. He didn't understand it, but he knew he never wanted to let you go.
He sees you more often than anyone else, often demanding your presence simply to have you there
Your relationship develops gradually. There's never a big confession, but at one moment you just realized you started thinking of him as your significant other, and it was an unspoken but obvious truth he felt the same
I'd imagine him to be very affectionate towards his partner
Loves physical contact, will often have you sit on his lap while he reads or something and every once in a while press gentle kisses to your head or neck
His favourite pet names for you are darling, dear, love, sweetheart & princess
Spoils you with gifts. Whatever you could ask for, you get. What kind of god would he be if he couldn't even fulfill his lover's material desires?
Very overprotective. Won't let you leave the mansion on your own, usually sends one of his followers with you, though if he's in a good mood you might be able to convince him to have just pet shop guard you
Every once in a while you go on walks together at night. DIO practically rules over this town, and he's proud to stroll through the streets with his darling.
Often asks for your opinion on things. Even if you're not very knowledgeable about the topic, he genuinely values your opinion, and it curious what you think.
Ever since you came into his life he felt a lot more at peace and way more determined. He's sure now, so long as you're by his side no one could ever defeat him. And he'll do anything to make sure you stay.
Trish 🌸
Tumblr media
You met her one day while strolling through the city, her vibrant outfit immediatly catching your eye.
When you saw her again later that day you just knew you had to talk to her, and so you did
You complimented her looks and she smiled, making you heart beat a little faster than usual, even more so when she told you she liked your style as well
After some small talk about fashion she gave you her phone number, saying you just had to go shopping together one day. There was a special store she wanted to take you to, and you should text her once you find some time
You two quickly became close, and you could feel yourself falling for her more and more the more time you spent with her
So when one day she confessed to you, you felt like you were dreaming. You were absolutely quiet for a minute, processing what just happened, before happily falling in her arms.
I feel like Trish would be very lowkey about relationships, but that doesn't mean you'd feel any less loved. She's just not the overly affectionate type, she prefers just spending some quality time together.
Often asks you to help with her make-up, and at least once insisted on wearing matching outfits
Sends you a "good morning" text everyday.
Bought you a strawberry flavored lipstick once. Those are her favorites.
As a pop star on the rise, she practices singing a lot, often times in front of you. Her voice is your favorite thing to listen to.
When you can't be together you often spend hours talking together on the phone.
Likes to call you "Amore" - love, or "Bella" - beautiful.
Polnareff 🤺
Tumblr media
Absolutely the ideal boyfriend... I envy you for your great taste.
First time you met him was probably when he came up and started flirting with you. We all know he just cant resist pretty girls ~
But he wasn't what you'd expect from guys who just flirt with ladys they dont know, he was different, he was funny and charming, and you couldn't help but chuckle at his silly jokes.
He invited you to a drink, and since you were free for the afternoon anyway, you went along.
You talked the whole afternoon. He told you stories of his travels, and you quickly realized it's been a while since you felt this light hearted around someone. When it was time to go he asked whether he could see you again, and your answer was obvious.
It didn't take long before you two became a couple officially.
He tries to teach you a little French. It's his dream to go visit his home country with you one day, show you around.
You know enough french by now to understand the compliments he mumbles under his breath whenever he's caught off guard by you.
Loves complimenting you in general, but it's always geniuene.
Don't ask him to help you pick out clothes. He will genuinely find you breathtaking in everything, even if you wore a potato sack.
A very chivalrous man. He loves to make you feel special, taking you out to romantic spaces, buying dinner for you, bringing flowers
He loves to see you smile. Will often randomly tell jokes or do silly things just to hear you laugh
Watches romcoms with you and cries during the sad scenes. Takes your hand/shuffles closer to you during the overly romantic ones.
Hugs, hand-holding, kisses - hell yeah. Big into PDA.
Extremly respectful. Pays close attention to what you like and what you dislike and surprises you with things you yourself had forgotten you wanted
Tried to cook dinner for you once but failed horribly. It ended with you ordering take out and deciding you'd try together next time.

critical missive
dedicated to @cryptovexillologist
oh boy arent we in a fine pickle now?
usually i enjoy talking openly and bluntly about my opinions on whatever the last thing i read is, safe and secure in the knowledge that the author will most likely never stumble on my measily 700 followers tumblr blog, so i am free to express my opinion to my heart’s content knowing that no feelings will get hurt. 
mission critical would be no different except i talked with the author and read their acknoledgement and the AMA they did on discord after writing the story and they have endeared themselves thoroughly to me so my language will have to be neutered, at least for the first half of this excercise. afterwards things will get a bit harsher but i’ll try to rest at ease in the knowledge that we seem to be kindred spirits and i would be delighted in hearing any kind of criticism of my work either positive or negative. 
ok, enough coaching done, lets go on to what i thought of this novel.
it is a delightful romp, as i said before, the worldbuilding is understated and realistic with enough glimpses of depth and detail to suggest a much larger picture. this world feels inhabited, lived in, like it was well chewed on for long by the author before putting pen to paper. consequentially the characters that arose from this world feel like they belong, they feel like real people with real lifes. by far the strongest sections of the book were the flashbacks to their lives before the plot started. their voices, regretably, do sound very similar when interacting with each other but in their own sections the characters shine in their charm and cleverness. every time one of their flashbacks ended i was left with the intrigue and the desire to know how their particular story would continue.
the terra ignota influences are very noticeable, the world and its people carry the same kind of almost childlike positivity and innocence, the same kind of cheerful, happy go lucky trust in human progress and the great project of humanity for the future with the same sobering forlorn attitude towards the horrors of the past.
on top of that its silly, gosh in heaven it is silly. it has moments of cringe, in the best of ways. strange slapdash bits of flavor, immature non sequiturs, small indulgences from the author’s own weird interests and dumb meme humor. i do love me my awkward corners in a book, after all it is those that make something unique. there is a clear personality poking through and it is a delightful personality to meet.
i cant help but like this almost more for the context in which it was written than for the content itself, it was done during quarentine as a way to both stave off cavin fever and to process the author’s feelings regarding their gender identity. as someone who also wrote a story where i almost deliberatly tried to trick my self into breaking my own egg and who turned madly towards creative endeavors to survive the pandemic i can sympathize strongly with this. i am really happy that the author got to do this and kickstarted a project towards a big, possibly decades spanning trilogy.
so, yeah, those were the nice things i had to say, if you are content enough with that you can stop here but if you are curious to know more, well... you can
in short: it is a bit of a mess. again, im willing to be lenient, considering the way in which this was worked on, this is very much a really early first draft. the second half of this story was a very slow and very boring trudge towards a sudden end.
first, the fact that the flashbacks and the worldbuilding bits are the strongest part of this story means the actual plot itself suffers from being fairly boring and generic. “astronauts explore alien planet, find spooky stuff there” was already old hat by the 50′s. it is a plot so worn down and archetypical that it really cant survive if that is literally all you are going to do with it, and that is kind of all that this book does. i did mention moments of flavor and strange self indulgence. we needed way more of those. yes thats right, im saying that this story was not self indulgent enough. when you have such a well trodden plot such as this, worn down to the point that it becomes paint by the numbers, we need quirky, we need cringe, we need strange excess and personality. the author mentioned that they would love to see some of the weirder alexandria fan fics, well so do i! be the miracle you want to see in the world! the moments alexandria debated if wether identifying as a trilateral were amazing but they were not enough. we have a great structure here but lets put some proper meat on these bones, some proper fat and skin, some clown make up and a weird novelty hat and outrageous clown shoes. im getting carried away here, lets get back to the point.
the other problem is  there is not a clear trajectory for the story here, no well defined moment of climax and the emotional beats tend to fall a bit flat or to come out of nowhere. there are emotional crisis which i sort of missed or didnt get where they came from. the characters act in ways that are hard to relate to  that come off as stilted. the way they conduct themselves through the mission felt at times weirdly unprofessional and like it didnt follow much of a logical throughline, and when i say logical i dont meant “i wanted the characters to act hyperrational at all times” i mean i want the characters to act in ways that make human sense. ironically the one character that acted a bit too human for my tastes was the AI. alexandria is an interesting character but i feel that the place to explore that idea is not in the middle of an incredibly important mission where having your mainframe experience a crisis might not be the most practical thing in the world.
the ending was jarringly sudden, i didnt feel there was a proper resolution and finishing it off with flashbacks to the time the characters were training was... odd. i reached the last line and it felt like the story had just decided to stop without ever having reached anything that came even close to the third act. all of this can be easily fixed with some concientious editing and a complete rearrangement of the different sections of this story.
all in all a great first step in what i hope will be a long career as a writer.

Anyway out of nowhere but here comes appreciation post for my physics/math teacher and current civics/old spanish teacher
Physics/math teacher:
- one of the main reasons she started teaching science was because she saw people dont have enough general knowledge about science/are very blissfuly unaware of loads of science
- even though she used to be a physics medic (which is already a feat on its own)
- another reason is because her old coworkers were dumbasses and wanted to help prevent that in other people
- is currently going out of her way to teach us extra stuff on physics so when we start seeing physics in a different school the knowledge gap isnt that big (because the country's school system likes to do that)
Current civics/old spanish teacher:
- deadly good at teaching and clear when explaining her system
- helps her 94 -year-old dad work as a lawyer (i think shes a lawyer too but not 100% sure)
- tells really good stories (like holy fuck ive had this teacher for two years and shes never failed to be super interesting) (the most shocking one was that she had 3 natural abortions and currently has 3 kids, 2 of them are twins, and also a mildly terrifying case that her dad had to work with 20 years ago)
- is super patient
-gave a speech about lgbt people that almost made me cry because a lot of you would probably love/need to hear it (and shes cishet!) (one of her statements was that it could be considered cruel to not let a trans person transition if they want to transition because not being able to be and express the gender you want to be is absolutely terrible for both mental and sexual health) (not directly what she said but i tried my best to translate)
theyre both generally awesome teachers and i wish you could all take a class there...

Sorry I just ran into this blog, Lainey said on Twitter they're an ISFJ awhile back. I can see both them being an unhealthy INFP that thinks their Si is stronger than it actually is due to looping and them being an unhealthy ISFJ. They could be in an Si-Ti loop where they dont let new ideas in and believes their experience/conclusions are always correct without looking further than that for information. (1/3)
They’re also very tactful (auxiliary Fe) which makes them seem innocent and wanting group harmony instead of drama. An unhealthy Fe user sweeps issues under the rug to live in their ideal “peaceful” world. If an ISFJ is gripping, their inferior function is Ne. This may cause them to think of all the ways life could be and using it as an excuse that nothing could go wrong due to the likelihood (they think) of it in their life (ex. bringing 18-20 year olds into an unhealthy relationship, believing Onision didn’t cheat due to the fact many things could happen since there are infinite truths in the world and Si-Ti may think that their POV is the most correct from what they gathered). I can see INFP but I do want to see what you think of this. 
Sorry it took so long to respond! I knew this was going to be a long one, so I’ve been avoiding it because tbh you will never meet a lazier INTJ than me. I apologize in advance for the poor quality of this message, because my brain fog is really shitty today and I’m feeling not nearly as sharp as I usually am. My arguments will probably not be as convincing or wordy as they usually are.
Anyway, I believe she actually said she was INFJ. I remember because I was the one who asked her to take the quiz. >_> (Unless we’re thinking of two different incidences? This was, if I recall correctly, around the time that Billie had just left for the final time, so I want to say September or October of 2016.) Anyway–tbh, the fact that she got INFJ just confirmed to me more than anything else that she really was an INFP, because let’s be real, I’m pretty sure no INFP has ever existed who didn’t first mistype themselves as being an INFJ. (I’m mostly joking, but like.. only mostly.) Of course, ISFJs also frequently mistype as INFJs, so this is an idea worth exploring.
Tumblr media
Anyway, I shall try to explain why I see her as an INFP rather than as an ISFJ or INFJ. I apologize in advance if you’re an INFP; if I end up saying anything rude about them, please understand that I’m not making disparaging comments about INFPs in general - I’m just evaluating Lainey, who is (I believe) a very unhealthy version of her type.
So, first and foremost: Fi. Sooo much Fi. But Fi in the most unhealthy way possible: incredibly self-righteous and self-absorbed, and excessively concerned with interpreting and relaying her own individualistic, unique identity to the world. She needs to be acknowledged for her differences. If you look back at all of the arguments she’s ever had with Greg on social media (in other words, the times when he says something that aggrieves her enough that she’s actually willing to confront him over it), they all have the same theme in common: they’re always about her feeling affronted because he invalidated her values or sense of self somehow. For example: the last fight they got in was because Greg referred to himself as being in a straight relationship, which offended Lainey because she interpreted that as him undermining her gender. I can think of a few other examples of their arguments on social media off the top of my head, and they all follow that same theme: Greg being insulted that she was hero-worshiping a musician who didn’t like him (also an Fi user); Greg arguing with her about eating fish; Greg calling her filthy because her room was dirty and she hadn’t cleaned it; Greg insulting her family (especially her mother and sister). When Lainey gets involved in Greg’s debates or ongoing feuds with other content creators (Jaclyn Glenn, Joy Sparkle BS, Blaire White, etc), it’s never to weigh in with her opinion, and only ever to express her irritation over them misgendering her, either accidentally or on purpose. When she’s rude and condescending towards her fans, it’s typically because they questioned her sense of self somehow (usually in regards to her gender, internal motivations, or relationship with Greg). It’s rarely in defense of anybody else, which I feel like would happen more often if she really was an Fe user.
I think the tactfulness and willingness to sweep things under the rug that you’re interpreting as being aux Fe may actually be a combination of Fi seeking harmony in relationships (high Fi users can do this too, just like Fe users can; the difference mainly lies in when, and for what reason, their feeling function becomes triggered when somebody crosses the line. For Fi users, this tends to be when something strikes a personal nerve or attacks and invalidates their character or sense of self; for Fe users, this tends to be when somebody rejects, abuses, or takes advantage of their warmth and care, or when somebody expresses a lack of concern for the collective (family, friends, neighborhood, club, church group, society, etc) - other words, selfishness. If you dismiss their overtures of affection after they’ve put effort into displaying warmth and consideration, then they may become offended when that same person then takes advantage of those polite gestures, or refuses to reciprocate them), and also Lainey just generally not caring enough to say or do anything to counter Greg that might rock the boat in their private life. 
Secondly: Ne. In Lainey’s case, her Ne is not as overt as I’ve observed it in other INFPs, and I’m not sure why this is. I apologize if this comes off as rude (and it really kind of is, but I don’t know how else to say this in a non-offensive way), but I think it’s really just because Lainey is an INFP of average intelligence, whereas most INFPs (that I’ve encountered, anyway) are in the gifted range, and so their Ne is much more readily apparent. Ne and Se share many qualities (being that they’re both Pe functions), including that they both have a preference for wanting to live life by their own standards, a strong dislike of feeling constrained or held back, feeling compelled to seek novelty (Se in a more physical, concrete way, and Ne in a more abstract, conceptual way), and wanting to learn through experience. Se and Ne both feel driven to be seen as cool–but in different ways. Se wants to be seen as cool in a more physical and conventional sense - for example, by being entertaining, or by dressing in a manner that is immediately impactful in a sensory way. Ne, on the other hand, wants to be cool by being unique, different, iconoclastic - it wants to be regarded as quirky and iconoclastic, cool for being “uncool”, if that makes sense. And so many INFPs are drawn to countercultures (hipsters, for example) who are unconventional, but still have a certain mystique and draw to them; and I definitely think Lainey fulfills that aspect of Ne.
Ugh. I’m sorry, my brain power is running low. Brain fog is super bad today. I think we both see Si in her, so I don’t think I have to explain that. Mainly where I see Si in her (especially in the form of Fi-Si loops) is her inability to let go of people from her past. She even did it with Billie: brought her back over and over again because she would find herself looking back on the good times, and minimizing the bad ones. She makes the same mistakes repeatedly because she reviews her memories of them (memories which are attached to emotional experiences), and feels compelled to relive them, no matter how painful they were. 
Please don’t make me write something for Te. My Te is all pooped out today. :C
Anyway, it’s lovely running into somebody on here who’s knowledgeable about the cognitive functions! =O I’m guessing you’re an INFP as well? Sorry for this shitty argument, I  might try to redo it in a few days when my brain fog dissipates a little.
Edit: I just went back to the the post; and yeah, she scored as INFJ-T on the 16personalities test (admittedly shitty and has nothing to do with the cognitive functions). In the comment section, I left a link on how to differentiate between INFJ and INFP, lmao.
Tumblr media
Edit #2: Oh, one last thing: here’s a description of what a destructive INFP looks like from one of my favorite MBTI sites, Psychology Junkie. Doesn’t it remind you of Lainey?
Destructive INFPs are self-absorbed, self-righteous, and waver between being passive and extremely judgmental. They enjoy living in their fantasies, but care little for the practical realities of daily life. They may neglect their loved ones and family members and instead prefer to live in a world of their own making, in essence abandoning everyone who holds them dear. They may consider themselves more morally superior or “righteous” than others, married to their idealism to such an extent that any and everyone in the real world seems flawed and disappointing. They may retreat from the world and silently judge everyone they see. Over time, they may become increasingly harsh and condemning of people in their lives. They may become so obsessed with their own emotions and fantasies that they shun or berate anyone who tries to find a way into their hearts.
Healthy INFPs are extremely empathetic, gentle, and compassionate individuals. They care for the persecuted and marginalized people of the world, and strive to help them. They are honest and driven by their morals to live a life that adheres to their values. They are creative and insightful, slow to judge others yet holding themselves to a high standard.
Also, just for the keks, here’s the description of destructive ESTJs, the type that I suspect Greg is. (I do believe that he actually took an MBTI test and scored as ESTJ, which he hilariously tried to use to “prove” that he wasn’t a narcissist or psychopath. Really shows how much effort he puts into researching his “facts”.
Destructive ESTJs are dictatorial, aggressive, and controlling. They believe that they know what’s best for everyone, and that their way is the only way. They suppress their moral compass and disregard the feelings and values of other people in exchange for their own rigid views. They push forward to achieve their goals, but instead of taking time to reflect on their decisions, they steamroll over everyone in their path in order to accomplish tasks without considering alternate viewpoints or the moral implications of their actions. They may be loyal to a corrupt system or authority and suppress anyone who stands against that authority or questions it. They trust their own personal experience and disregard other people’s experience. They scoff at the emotions and values of others while they allow themselves to have their own temper tantrums and emotional overreactions.
Healthy ESTJs: Healthy ESTJs are hard-working, trustworthy, and loyal. They see the world logically and push themselves to live up to a high standard. They don’t ask other people to do things they wouldn’t do themselves, and they uphold traditions they see as morally right and effective. They are intellectual, practical, and usually outgoing. They are very supportive of their communities and families and want to make the world a better place.

can i get a pronoun validation for sara, they/them and he/him? maybe something about coming out and being accepted if you do themed validations (but if you dont generic is fine)?
I totally do themed validations! In fact, I’ll pretty much write anything you ask. If you have any more questions about that, you can probably find most of the answers here on my validation page.
He
Sara bit his lip nervously. His palms were clenched into fists in his lap, and he could feel the anxiety sliding like thick sludge through his veins.
“Um… Sara? What is it you wanted to tell me?”
Sara’s head shot back up from staring at his lap. His eyes met the curious gaze of his best friend, sitting across from him on the couch.
It was okay. It would be okay. Sara tried to remind himself of that fact as he attempted to fish for the right words to tell his friend. He could feel his throat closing up anyways, making it hard for any sounds to come out.
Gosh. Why did this have to be so difficult? Sara loved his friend. He didn’t want to keep any secrets, wanted to share his identity, but coming out was so scary. Sara’s friend was an amazing person, and they had a great relationship, but Sara still couldn’t help but listen to the little nagging voice in his head that whispered What if?
What if his friend didn’t like him anymore? What if they thought that Sara was gross or an idiot or attention-seeking? What if they never wanted to see Sara again? What if-
“Hey.” Sara’s panicked rush of thoughts was cut short by his friend, who reached over the short distance and gently placed their hand on Sara’s arm with a concerned look on their face. “Are you ok? Whatever it is, I’m here for you.”
Sara looked into his friend’s warm gaze and nodded.
‘Yeah, I just…”
Ok. Inhale. Exhale. It will be fine.
“I want to talk to you about my gender.”
Sara found himself unable to look away from his friend’s face, scanning for any negative reaction. Any sign that they were about to sneer in disgust or laugh in Sara’s face. Instead, however, his friend simply raised an eyebrow in surprise, slowly nodding after a moment.
“Ok. Yeah. Like I said, I’m here for you.”
Sara’s breathe caught and he felt hope startle to bubble up tentatively in his chest. He tried to squish it down, ignore it so he wouldn’t be disappointed later if things didn’t work out, but he could feel the heady rush of emotion begin to fill his head anyway. He rushed on with his explanation, almost scared that this moment would disappear if he didn’t take advantage of it immediately.
“I’m not, I’m not the same gender as everyone thinks I am- as this body makes everyone think.” He fumbled with his words, an electric combination of fear and hope tightening his chest and making his head feel too full of air. For a second Sara wondered if this was even actually happening. Then his friend brought him back to the moment once more as they moved their hand to tighten comfortingly around Sara’s wrist. His friend’s eyes were wide and genuine as they stared at Sara, silently urging him to continue.
Sara took another deep breathe, trying to calm his happy-nervous adrenaline, before continuing.
“I’ve just looked at myself, like, really looked at who I am, and I’m just more of a ‘he’, you know?” He leaned closer to his friend, as if proximity alone could convey all his thoughts perfectly. “It’s like…like I’ve always been wearing a shirt that’s a couple sizes too small and it’s been constricting me, tight and horrible and wrong and I didn’t even realize how uncomfortable it truly was until I could take it off- until I realized that this is who I am!”
Sara let out a shaky exhale, somewhere between a laugh and a sigh, and looked pleadingly up at his friend. He knew that he wasn’t being the most eloquent right now, that his explanation was fractured and incomplete, but he just had to get the words out, had to see whether his friend would accept him.
It took less than a second to realize that all his fears had been for nothing. Sara’s friend released his arm only to pull him into a tight hug. His friend’s voice was muffled, yet so very comforting as they spoke from where their face was buried by Sara’s shoulder.
“Sara! I’m so glad you told me. Thank you so much.” The friend pulled back enough to look Sara in the eye. “I’ll admit, I’m kind of new to this whole…gender thing. But I want to know more. I want to know more about you. I’ll get to understand it better, I promise.”
Sara felt his heart swoop and his face split into the widest smile he had had in ages.
“Thank you so much. You have no idea how amazing it feels to know that you’re okay with this.”
Sara’s friend simply smiled fondly and nodded their head.
“You’re my friend Sara,” They replied. “That doesn’t change, no matter what gender you are.”
The two pulled back into their hug and spent the rest of the afternoon talking. The whole time, Sara was full of happiness and pride. He had done it. He had come out, and it was ok. His life may not be perfect, and there was still problems he would have to face in the future, but for now he could bask in the warm knowledge that he was loved and valid.
They
Sara bit their lip nervously. Their palms were clenched into fists in their lap, and they could feel the anxiety sliding like thick sludge through their veins.
“Um… Sara? What is it you wanted to tell me?”
Sara’s head shot back up from staring at their lap. Their eyes met the curious gaze of their best friend, sitting across from them on the couch.
It was okay. It would be okay. Sara tried to remind themself of that fact as they attempted to fish for the right words to tell their friend. They could feel their throat closing up anyways, making it hard for any sounds to come out.
Gosh. Why did this have to be so difficult? Sara loved their friend. They didn’t want to keep any secrets, wanted to share their identity, but coming out was so scary. Sara’s friend was an amazing person, and they had a great relationship, but Sara still couldn’t help but listen to the little nagging voice in their head that whispered What If?
What if their friend didn’t like them anymore? What if they thought that Sara was gross or an idiot or attention seeking? What if they never wanted to see Sara again? What if-
“Hey.” Sara’s panicked rush of thoughts was cut short by their friend, who reached over the short distance and gently placed their hand on Sara’s arm with a concerned look on their face. “Are you ok? Whatever it is, I’m here for you.”
Sara looked into their friend’s warm gaze and nodded.
‘Yeah, I just…”
Ok. Inhale. Exhale. It will be fine.
“I want to talk to you about my gender.”
Sara found themself unable to look away from their friend’s face, scanning for any negative reaction. Any sign that they were about to sneer in disgust or laugh in Sara’s face. Instead, however, their friend simply raised an eyebrow in surprise, slowly nodding after a moment.
“Ok. Yeah. Like I said, I’m here for you.”
Sara’s breathe caught and they felt hope startle to bubble up tentatively in their chest. They tried to squish it down, ignore it so they wouldn’t be disappointed later if things didn’t work out, but they could feel the heady rush of emotion begin to fill their head anyway. They rushed on with their explanation, almost scared that this moment would disappear if they didn’t take advantage of it immediately.
“I’m not, I’m not the same gender as everyone thinks I am- as this body makes everyone think.” They fumbled with their words, an electric combination of fear and hope tightening their chest and making their head feel too full of air. For a second Sara wondered if this was even actually happening. Then their friend brought them back to the moment once more as they moved their hand to tighten comfortingly around Sara’s wrist. Their friend’s eyes were wide and genuine as they stared at Sara, silently urging them to continue.
Sara took another deep breathe, trying to calm their happy-nervous adrenaline, before continuing.
“I’ve just looked at myself, like, really looked at who I am, and I’m just more of a ‘they’, you know?” They leaned closer to their friend, as if proximity alone could convey all their thoughts perfectly. “It’s like…like I’ve always been wearing a shirt that’s a couple sizes too small and it’s been constricting me, tight and horrible and wrong and I didn’t even realize how uncomfortable it truly was until I could take it off- until I realized that this is who I am!”
Sara let out a shaky exhale, somewhere between a laugh and a sigh, and looked pleadingly up at their friend. They knew that they weren’t being the most eloquent right now, that their explanation was fractured and incomplete, but they just had to get the words out, had to see whether their friend would accept them. 
It took less than a second to realize that all their fears had been for nothing. Sara’s friend released their arm only to pull them into a tight hug. Their friend’s voice was muffled, yet so very comforting as they spoke from where their face was buried by Sara’s shoulder.
“Sara! I’m so glad you told me. Thank you so much.” The friend pulled back enough to look Sara in the eye. “I’ll admit, I’m kind of new to this whole…gender thing. But I want to know more. I want to know more about you. I’ll get to understand it better, I promise.”
Sara felt their heart swoop and their face split into the widest smile they had had in ages.
“Thank you so much. You have no idea how amazing it feels to know that you’re okay with this.”
Sara’s friend simply smiled fondly and nodded their head.
“You’re my friend Sara,” They replied. “That doesn’t change, no matter what gender you are.”
The two pulled back into their hug and spent the rest of the afternoon talking. The whole time, Sara was full of happiness and pride. They had done it. They had come out, and it was ok. Their life may not be perfect, and there was still problems they would have to face in the future, but for now they could bask in the warm knowledge that they were loved and valid.
—–
Whoo! That was a long one, haha. I will admit, I had no clue how difficult it was to write a coming out scene without specifying gender until I actually had to do it. Because of that, I ended up having to hedge and get a bit creative with the scene, so I apologize if it seemed awkward or unrealistic. I did my best. Anyways, good luck and have a great day!

How do insurance companies expect 17 year olds to not front?

How to convince parents to let me have auto insurance?
I've had my license for a little over three months now. However, I have no insurance, and therefore cannot drive (in California). Their reasoning is that I am an unsafe driver which I disagree with because I quite easily passed my driving test at the DMV and always think before I do anything when I drive. However, they seem firm on their decision... It's a bit frustrating having my license for so long but still being unable to drive. I'm tired of having to always ask friends for a ride or my parents; I just want a taste of independence. Of course, I'm not trying to be too arrogant or stubborn, I've respected my parent's decision, it's just bugging me a bit now haha. I offered to do a six-month plan instead of a year plan since I'm heading off to college in Septemberish. I'm about to turn 18 in a couple weeks also. Does anyone have any advice?""

Was Obama's health care/college system comparison valid?
Tonight President Obama compared the public health care option to the public system of Universities and colleges. He said the public option will work the same way public colleges and Universities without inhibiting a vibrant system of private colleges and Universities. This is a fool's argument and a total apples to oranges comparison. Let me explain, first almost all private universities receive funding from the federal government. The federal government is not going to provide funding for private insurance. The second reason is it's common knowledge that the best Universities in the U.S. are private schools such as Duke, Stanford, and the Ivy League. These universities fill most of the highest paying jobs in the country. Some jobs even go as far as to require a degree from one of these schools (Stock Brokers on NYC Stock Exchange.) These highly paid graduates can donate larger amounts of money back to their respective colleges than the average Joe who graduated from a generic state funded university. No one is going to donate money to the private insurance companies. We can't even get all the people who qualify for insurance to sign up and that's the problem! Look, I have no way of knowing whether the public option will work or won't but when faulty logic is used to support it I become concerned. When most of the people supporting the public option are from California (a state where the middle class is few and far between) I become more concerned. When most of the Senators and Representatives who support the public option say they would prefer the U.S. had a single payer system (that's total government control of health care if you didn't know) I become very concerned. The reality is no one knows what the effects of public option will be. Also, the success of FedEx is not any proof that public option won't hurt private companies because an independent council regulates the mail industry. No independent council is mentioned in any of the plans in the House or Senate. yes or no""

In CANADA - Why is car insurance cheaper for women?
I understand that women are less liability statistically, but to base car insurance rates on gender is a violation of the Charter of rights and Freedom - despite the fact all regulations, policies and laws are suppose to be constituted by it ...

How much will my insurance and maintenance costs be affected by what type of car I get?
I'm about to be 18 and am planning on getting my first car soon. I've been driving for almost 3 years in my parents' cars but need my own for heading off to college and such. I don't know what type of car I want to get, but it's gotta be cheap, old and used, preferably up to $6,000-7,500 at the absolute max. The problem is that I've been really into cars for most of my life and would rather have something a little nicer to start, I mean within the same price range but for example a Mustang, Mitsubishi 3000GT, BMW 3- or 5-Series, etc., rather than the usual Civic or Camry (not that I'd mind one of them either). The problem is that I'm worried the insurance will be way more expensive. The latest quote my dad got was a few weeks ago and it was quite a bit lower than I expected, only like $560/yr., but that was with their old '93 Taurus GL. Will having a sports car or more high-end car affect it really dramatically or will it not make that big a difference as long as my driving record stays good? Also, how much more does it cost to maintain and repair a car like a used BMW than it does just a normal car like an Accord? I've always heard that European cars in particular can be temperamental and finicky if not maintained properly, so I'm just worried that I won't have the money and know-how to have and keep a car like that as my first car.""

How to get best fair settlement from car insurance company for 1996 corolla?
Hi: My 1996 toyota corolla was hit by another car in the rear on the passenger side. My car was in excellent condition, everything worked, nothing broken, no rust (paint in excellent condition as it is always in my garage at home or in a covered parking lot at my workplace), low mileage (130K), never had a problem and I am the original, sole owner and driver of the car. I was planning to keep driving it for years to come. Now the insurance company wants to total my car and what they are offering for my car /their initial proposed settlement of $3500is not nearly enough to buy another car in the same excellent, safe and reliable condition, that is not riddled with hidden problems. This presents a big problem for me as, if I cannot have my car fixed and restored to the same condition as before the crash, I would have to come up with at least $12K to $15K to buy another new safe, reliable economy car. This is an expense that was not in my plans. Also, the insurance company is pushing me to make a hasty decision and is threatening me with not paying for the car rental I needed to get (since my car cannot be driven as the tail light is broken and and rain would get in the car). Is there any way that the insurance company can be prevented from totaling my car and instead pay for properly fixing the car with good OEM parts instead of used (LKQ) parts. I got several estimates, two for around $5K and one for around $7K (this one is from an excellent body shop that has done excellent work on my other previous cars before). The insurance company provided and estimate for $4k using used/LKQ parts. I would appreciate any advice on how to get the best settlement from the insurance company.""

LoJack on a motorcycle or comprehensive insurance?
I just bought a brand new bike and I live in Florida where bike theft is very big. I want to get some protection as soon as possible. Comprehensive insurance which would cover theft will run me about 730 per year with a 500 dollar deductible. The Lo Jack unit will cost me about 800 installed and it is a one time fee, no monthly payments and it lasts forever. The recovery rates on a bike with lojack are very good from what I've read, I just want to see what everyone thinks. These are the two options and please only answer if you have good knowledge of lojack and how well it works. The only problem is that it doesnt cover things such as damage during theft, storm damage, and things that the insurance would (Then again it still has that 500 or 1000 dollar deductible). An alarm would possibly be an option but I'm leaning towards the two I discussed above. Just let me know what you think because I dont want this bike leaving without me on it.""

""Why do women get cheaper car insurance, that's stupid and totally discriminatory and plain our racist?""
In Europe the European courts have already ruled it unfair. google Cheaper insurance for women ruled unfair Wtf? Women are horrible drivers. I've only been in one accident my entire life of driving and it wasn't my fault, a WOMAN backed into me as I was passing a parking lot. Apparently that wasn't the first time she did that either. One other time a WOMAN almost crashed into me on the free way, she wanted to get into my lane but apparently she didn't see me and just without using a turn signal just decided to turn into my lane and luckily i was paying attention and was able to break soon enough and she probably came within inches of her back side smashing into my side. it caused me to break suddenly which made the car behind me break suddenly and honk his horn, i honked my horn and the lady in front of me was apparently clueless to the world. Anyways the reason if this is true because I don't believe it men might have more accidents is because they're more likely to become drunk. Men drink and drive more, not only that but they probably like to show off more. rates should be higher for people like them, not all men. Gender biases are unconstitutional because that's prejudice. Also it's a total lie that women make less money than men. when i waited tables, the women got all the good tips from men. while i generally just got the minimum tip. not only that but sometimes if i was dealing with another male, sometimes they didn't give me a tip at all especially if they were drunk or some scruffy looking truck driver trying to hit on the other girls. But if one of those hot girls waited on them, they would sometimes give them a tip that was more than the food that they ordered! I think it's all bs. and of course completely racist. Why does america allow this? You know in some countries they don't allow women to drive. MAYBE it's because they're bad drivers!!!""
Is fully comprehensive insurance worth paying on a 1000 car?
I'm a 39 year old driver who's had a full licence since the age of 17, I have full no claims and although I've been involved in 2 accidents neither of them were my fault (fingers crossed I'm not to speak too soon). I'm only buying a car worth 1000 and the difference in cost between fully comp and 3rd party, fire & theft makes it worth thinking about going for the latter as the fully comp is 609 with 250 excess and TPFT 480 with 250 excess. Does anyone know, if I was involved in an accident cause by a 3rd party driver can I claim from their insurance? I remember on my 2nd accident (about 14 years ago before the recent technology) although I got all the details of the registration and the driver he gave me incorrect details and the DVLA never actually found him as the car had been in between owners. However I was put in contact with a type of agency who assist in these cases and I got reimbursed for my car and neither did it affect my insurance. How am I covered 3rd party if I have an accident that's the fault of the 3rd party? Logically I'm thinking that I can claim for my car from their insurance?

Refund on car insurance?

I went on holiday on 5th june and i didnt come back until 15th july. And i find that my postbox is damaged and all my post went back to the royal mail. But i still didnt recieved anything from the car imsurance and because it was a renewal quote, i thought probably they dont need anything of me, coz they have already got my detail from last year and thats why i didnt recieve anything. And this was my first time i paid in full. So i thought they only need my signature when im paying monthly.

Car Insurance Problems. Pain in The neck?
Im 22 and I have a terrible credit score. I am looking to insure my car by myself which has always been insured by other people like my parents/boyfriends mom etc. I know my credit score is my own fault but I have been running into difficulties trying to find a decent car insurer for my vehicle. Does anyone know a place that will offer car insurance even though I have poor credit? I know I will pay a lot more than if I had a good credit score but I am in dire need of insurance and am willing to pay a bit more than usual. Alot of places have even denied me car insurance because of the my credit score so If anyone knows a place (not geico, progessive, unitrin or allstate) that will be helpful and will possibly insure me, can u please let me know:-) Oh yeah Im residing in NJ, if thats helpful!""

My nationality is Japanese as well, which means I won't be trusted for a while. Sure my Japanese licence won't be valid in the US so I'll have to retake it over there hence no history... right? :/ Does anyone have a clue? Thanks a lot for reading :)""

""Can I report my (former) car insurance to someone, Texas?""
I was insured with a cut rate car insurance company because I needed a SR22 for no insurance from many, many, years ago that finally did catch up to me just now. Anyway, I was having my payment drafted out of my debit card each month. Well a few days before my insurance was due I realized that I unexpectedly was going to be short. It was due one day & I didn't get paid for another 2 days. So I called up my agent & explained the situation & asked if my policy had a grace period? They put me on hold to check. They came back on the telephone & said yes I had 7 days from the date it was due. They said I would be fine cause I got paid 2 days later. Well I go back up there a couple of days later to make my payment. Mind you, I'm still well w/in the grace period. The computer would not take my payment. The agent made a call, then spoke to someone, & then informed me my insurance was dropped for lack of payment. I was like whoa I was told I had a full week grace period She said to me Well, when you called you didn't inform us that you had your insurance drafted from your debit card. I was like A) Y'all didn't ask when I called & B) How in the world would I know to tell you that? Especially since y'all never asked. They basically said Oh well. She did make it clear that if I had not had auto drafting that the grace period would still stand. Maybe I'm clueless but I never had an incident where I was ever late on my car insurance. Now my DL is suspended. I don't know if this place gets a kick back by starting over my insurance w/a whole new policy. If I had had started over again the rate would jump & I would have to repay them to refile my SR22. Is that legal?? Like I said what do I know????""

Individual dental insurance for braces?

Both are HMO plans, all the PPO plans covers little to nothing for braces, so HMO seems to be the only way to go for an individual plan. DeltaCare seems to be more reliable since it's associated with Delta Dental, a little more costly also. I'm more concerned about the quality of the services as far as making claims and such. So DeltaCare, Pacificare, or ay other dental insurance/plans? Any personal experience with either of these companies? I am in San Francisco, California.""

Is it illegal if it is not updated when I get my UK license, as I believe the insurance will be a lot more expensive when I move to a full license from a provisional. Thanks""

Farmers Insurance problem when changed from CA to OR?
Hi, I've had insurance in CA for 2 years and moved to Oregon recently. I had my insurance tranferred with an useless Farmers Agent in OR. The thing is I already paid my 6 months premium in CA which is covered me until 06/2009. I paid nearly $450 for until 06/29. I've had quite a few discounts in CA but the jug-head agent in Oregon, not shifted any discounts to Oregon automatically. I got a bill for next 6 months from that agent saying that I have to pay $1000, since I haven't lived in Oregon for long enough. Jeez!!!. It's almost a $600 rise in my insurance that too I haven't had any claims or ticket in my last 5 years. I went to meet him in person but he told that's all he can do it. He didn't look my CA policy/discounts too. Then I told him, I can get $500 insurance anywhere else. But he challenges me if I could get something like that. I haven't approached any other insurers yet. Is it anything like insurance history or something like that maintained nationwide or in Oregon? Does he threaten me based on somre record? Can I get some decent insurance from someother insurers/agents? In CA I've never paid my 6 months permium more than $450. I'm the only driver for my car and the car is 8 years old. I've never claimed from any insurance till date. I neither had any speeding tickets elsewhere. Can I get some insurance for some decent rate If I shop around? My farmers insurance expects to pay the additional premium in a week else my policy with farmers expires. I dont want to meet someother farmers agents. I wanna get out of farmers and go with someone else. Can I get some decent insurance in a week?""

Can an insurance company drop your auto insurance any time?
I have had 3 claims in 4 years. The first two claims where while living in another state. I since moved and just put in my third claim today (first claim with this company).

Car Insurance - How much of my premium would I get back?
Hi everyone I live in the UK and I insure my car with Direct Line. I have never had any issues with them before apart from now that I have a new car. I have several years no claims for my driving, most of which are through policies with Direct Line. However, the first 2 years I was driving I was with another insurance company and gained 2 years no claims with them. When I took out my latest policy with Direct Line after buying a new vehicle they said they needed to see proof of my no claims. I contacted my old insurance company who sent me a letter confirming these years and I sent this to Direct Line, they said they never received it so I requested another letter and sent this one also but via Recorded Delivery. It is now a month on and Direct Line are claiming they haven't received this one either although proof of postage and tracking shows it was signed for. I wish to cancel my policy with Direct Line and was wondering how much of my policy cost I would be entitled to receive back from them. Many thanks""

Can I still be insured with my mother?
So, my crappy old car just broke down. In the last few months I have managed to save up some money and I have decided to purchase a used car. The car cost about 6000 dollars and I have gotten a 3000 dollar loan in my name to pay the rest of the cost. So I'm trying to get all the paper work done because everything is in my name. My mom already purchased a car so she couldn't' even help my out to get a loan. Before I could even get the car, the bank needs a binding from an insurance company. When I had my old car my mom had me under her insurance because the car was under her name. So I want to know if after I get my insurance on my new car if I will be able to switch it over with my mom. Or will I be able to transfer the old car insurance into the new one. Right now I am planning to get the same insurance she has. Will I always have to have the insurance under my name is it is my car? This is in Massachusetts""

Facebook slaps down Admiral’s plan to use social media posts to rate gondola insurance premiums
UK insurance firmAdmiral had intended to launching an app this week give dismissed gondola insurance premiums to first time operators based on an algorithmic evaluation of their Facebook posts.
All motorists would have had to do is sign in with their Facebook logintogrant permission to the company to scan their Facebook posts in order to get a potential discount on their automobile insurance premiums.
However the experimenthas fallen fouled of Facebooks platform policy, which gives strict limits on how developers on theplatform can use the information usersshare with them.
Clause 3.15 of thepolicy too specifically prohibitsuse of data obtained from Facebook to
make decisions about qualification, including whether to approve or scorn an application or how much interest to accuse on a loan.
In an interview with The Guardianabout the opt-in firstcarquote app, project cause Dan Mines described itas a test, telling: We are doing our best to build a commodity that allows young people to identify themselves as safe drivers This is innovative, it is the first time anyone has done this.

Our analysis is not based on any one specific simulate, but rather on thousands of different combinations of likes, words and phrases and is constantly changing with new evidence that we obtain from the data, Yossi Borenstein, the principal data scientist on development projects, told the times.

Our understanding is that Admiral will then request users who sign up to answer questions which will be used to assess their eligibility.

Facebook slaps down Admiral’s plan to use social media posts to rate gondola insurance premiums
UK insurance firmAdmiral had intended to launching an app this week give dismissed gondola insurance premiums to first time operators based on an algorithmic evaluation of their Facebook posts.
All motorists would have had to do is sign in with their Facebook logintogrant permission to the company to scan their Facebook posts in order to get a potential discount on their automobile insurance premiums.
However the experimenthas fallen fouled of Facebooks platform policy, which gives strict limits on how developers on theplatform can use the information usersshare with them.
Clause 3.15 of thepolicy too specifically prohibitsuse of data obtained from Facebook to
make decisions about qualification, including whether to approve or scorn an application or how much interest to accuse on a loan.
In an interview with The Guardianabout the opt-in firstcarquote app, project cause Dan Mines described itas a test, telling: We are doing our best to build a commodity that allows young people to identify themselves as safe drivers This is innovative, it is the first time anyone has done this.
The algorithms that Admiralhad developed for the app apparently aimed togleanpersonality traitsfromusers Facebook berths by analyzing how berths were written with individuals whoscored well forqualities such as conscientiousness and group more likely to be offered discountsvs the individuals who cameacross as overconfident/ less well organized, as adjudicated by their Facebook postings.
