Polyamory made me a better monogamous partner
I'm a woman who is monogamous. I've been a very jealous and controlling partner to my past boyfriends and it was never logical. Just feelings.
Initially, I thought polyamory was something funny. I heard about it, disliked the idea and the community, hate-read posts, etcetera. But I was curious! I started learning more, even taking in some ideas. I dwelled on things I read, changed my perspective.
For example, when I first heard about rules being "wrong" (no sleepover rule, heads-up rule, etcetera) I thought the opposite. Of course you should have the right to exert some control over your partner to not do things you don't want them to (not actually...)! But why?
So I pondered, read some more posts, and changed my perspective. This is something I keep doing.
Whenever I find myself jealous or wanting control, I think of what the polyamorous community would do. I'm a less jealous and controlling person now.
While I will remain monogamous, I really respect all of you polyamorous people.

If advocating for trans people makes me a “liberal extremist,” then so be it. I’m not interested in finding the middle ground between inclusion and exclusion.
So. Attraction isn't just "yeah I think they look pretty cool"???
Sorry if this is the wrong flair.
My whole life i just kinda thought attraction was "yeah this person looks cool and id like to hang out with them". Im literally 19 years old and JUST finding out sexual attraction is like, when somebody is sexually appealing to you and you want to have sex with them and be intimate with them. Wtf? I cant believe im 19 and only now finding out these things. I legit didnt even know people had feelings like this. Is that like fr? Like thats genuinely what sexual attraction is? Im just astonished idk lmao 😭

Please think before you message someone
I made a post about passing earlier and I got a message from someone saying "please get on hrt NOW you will be traumatised by male puberty"
I am a mtf 14 year old who isn't allowed to get on blockers or estrogen until I'm atleast 16/18, messaging someone like this isn't going to help someone, it is going to make them feel even more hopeless than they already are, please think before you speak
