The last few months have been absolute hell because of this, me and my partner are somehow the only non cishet people at this whole thing despite it having like 300 guests. This is also right after I started estrogen and it's been nonstop "this is the groom's brother" bs. To be fair I've not told anyone but it still feels shitty. We've basically been forced back into the closet for the last like 6 months.

On top of this, they've been giving almost no info about plans to our family, everything is by the seat of our pants which is doubly bad because it's a Sikh wedding and our side is almost entirely made up of wasps so people really don't know what they're doing.

It's the last event today and I feel like I'm gonna tear off my skin.

edit: wanted to add, I love my new sister-in-law, she's lovely, but if I have to hear them talk about fucking harry potter again and try to get me to see the cursed child I'm gonna scream lol.

try to get me to see the cursed child

apropos of nothing, this alone is an insane red flag kombucha-disgust

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

Even huge potterheads hated The Cursed Child

My brother is a fascist who plays EU4 and HOI4 and loves singing Japanese fascist tunes.

Be content that you don't have him as your sibling.

Sigh

But, err, yeah, sorry you have to deal with all of this.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its comments like these that make me very lucky to know the worst people in my extended family are like, slightly west worshipping Chinese libs, but everyone else has gotten more communist because of Trump lmao.

You're kinda lucky, but I guess that's up to you.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

loves singing Japanese fascist tunes.

Let me guess, Battotai with the most grating Anglo-American accent imaginable

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He speaks fluent Japanese, but yes.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fluent as in native-like pronunciation?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think so, actually.

He's a huge, err, weeb.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

祝福の今日は皆が大ウィアブーですよね。

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Today of blessing everyone is a big weave."

Yeah, I got this for my translation lmao

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was trying to say "we are all huge weebs on this blessed day"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

...I'm not.

But, err, thanks for the levity, I guess.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seriously though, can we exchange siblings?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Trust me, you don't want my brother either. He isn't a weeb, but he is a reactionary who says a lot of patently offensive shit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My brother does the seig heil to offend me.

It sucks.

the cursed child

????????????

obviously harry potter is haram to begin with, but cursed child is also just legitimately terrible outside of that lmao

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Your brother doesn't know you came out as nonbinary? Or nobody at all knows?

Besides that, lmao, I love this kind of stories: Hexbearite in weird situations

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actually he does know that I'm nonbinary just not that I started hrt.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Serious question: would the best term for a non binary sibling just be "sibling"?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Think I saw someone use "nibling" once.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe nibbling is for niece/nephew, being derived from sibling.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

i didnt even think of nephew or nieces. although I do have nieces are who half Nigerian and half American(white) so i would have to hope they don't think i said a "g" instead of a "b" lol. There's a standup bit in there somewhere.

sometimes the answers are the simplest ones. thank you for helping me be sure of my language.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No worries! Sibling is a perfect existing word for that. The tricky one is girl/boyfriend because while partner exists, it implies marriage rather than just romantic relationship.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

plus some people hear partner and probably think " OH U GAY?"

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Stay strong. fidel-salute-big

I hope it wont be long before you can live as you are with them

meow-hug The events on Earth all pass through time at a fixed rate^(1)^, so this storm will pass.

(1) Of course this is technically not accurate given of our understanding of the nature of spacetime and for example does not hold for high-precision particle physics experiments, but for human-scale events on the same planet, it's a close enough approximation to be valid with regards to social events you will face.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Sending all the good vibes I can muster meow-hug stay strong comrade.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
