[also a trans man]

when I was 12 a man approached me on the street and hissed "I want to drink your piss" at me. a woman with a pushchair was at a nearby crossing and I kind of attached myself to her (not saying anything, I just lurked and followed her for a bit) bc mum&baby felt safe to me.
Alright, gonna ask a question aloud into the void here and I already regret doing so but:

For women especially, what’s the first age you recall being sexualized, by men?

I’m a trans dude but I’ll answer (in brief, writing a longer thing on this): I was about 7 …

The reason they couldn't come till Thursday is that the main guy wanted to come see for himself, which I think has been worrying Mum.
On the plus side, the dehumidifier seems to have done a lot to improve the situation with the bubbly paint. It's all gone flat again, and doesn't feel damp.

Thanks Elaine. I worked through it all again in my mid-20s, and never mention it to Mum, so I feel I’m in a better position than many.

When my nieces went to uni, I gave them copies of The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker because the first half would have helped me a lot in my teens.

My sympathies. My late mum had idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

to me it feels like just shy of direct interface of the will, but i wouldn't be trying to explain to my mum how to set up key bindings and such

It didn’t help that, when I first told Mum I saw a naked man at the D’s house, she told me I was imagining things.

Years later she said she’d been trying to protect me, and I’ve never managed to make her understand that gaslighting me did more harm.

Hah my mum mentioned yesterday that the first album she bought was Conway Twitty

If there is no signage saying it is forbidden, you can do what you like. (And yes, they must be. My massive step dad and tiny Mum had to test out a lot of baths to find one big enough for my step day that didn't require a ladder for Mum.)

I’m really glad you’re feeling better mum. I’m sorry I won’t be there to see you off haha. I’m sure the crew will take good care of you and you know Cheimin’s always there if you need anything.

My mum had three of them in a row! First a used base model, then a nice Abarth, which she found too fast, so back it went, to be replaced by a nicer non-Abarth model. After those, she got a Y10 and an later an Epsilon.

I was somewhere around that age too. Between 6 and 8 a neighbourhood older teen kept flashing at me, making obscene phone calls to the house, standing in our back garden at night, and ringing my Mum when I was at school to describe what I was wearing and say he’d taken me.
