It's literally just marketing. Normalfaggots are easily tricked by propaganda.

>>589650
For the majority of people, it is just a status thing. Personally, I don't hate lab grown diamonds, it's just that they feel much more artificial. I'd rather have a stone that formed naturally in the earth over billions of years than one manufactured in a factory over a few weeks, especially when it comes to something as meaningful and symbolic as an engagment ring. I much prefer other gemstones over diamonds anyway though, but if I had to choose a diamond, then I'd prefer natural for this reason. I also just choose natural materials whenever I can in general, jewellery aside.

>>589650
Yeah it’s marketing as >>589651 said, using empty romanticism like in >>589656:
>feel artificial
>formed naturally vs “manufactured”
>vague positives while ignoring concrete negatives.
>appeal to greater meaning
Lab diamonds are objectively superior. Evil, lazy moneygrubbing businesses don’t want to lose out (even though they could afford to just change), so they push for it to be seen as worse. They’re formed in the exact same way and can be made both more flawless or uniquely beautiful. The companies want customers to focus on some anonymous mystical billions of years rather than the reality that an enslaved, poisoned and abused child extracted it for you. I find labs specifically better for symbolism and meaning since you can decide what they’re made of. Being able to make a diamond of any style or colouring using a loved ones ashes, you and your partner’s genetic material, your favourite flowers, anything, is far more symbolic and personal. They’re all natural and you can still use substances formed over billions of years if you can gather them yourself (fossils of a specific animal/region can even be bought online). Even materialistically, is it not more impressive to spend a lot of money on making a more existentially perfect gem for whatever use?
Exploitation diamonds are simply more ubiquitous and accessible but it’s crazy when people shopping for individual stones can afford lab grown and choose otherwise. Then they’re lazily going for the less romantic option.

>>589650
Aren't diamonds like the biggest jewelry psyop? They're kind of ugly if they're too big anyway, lab grown diamonds should just be industry standard if the industry cared about the blood diamond issue, but of course retards will want a "natural" tacky stone instead of the identical lab grown tacky stone even if that money is being directly funneled into the shitty war torn country's big "orphanage bomb" manufacturing industry.

>>589656
Natural and labgrown diamonds are at wordt identical, but if the feelings are that important, you'd think you wouldn't want your marriage symbolized by a stone mined by child slaves.

I love this vintage doll obsessed, male beating, tranny hating psycho. She has the demonic autist sorority girl personality where her special interest is being a huge queen bitch and it's sexy. Evan Peter's couldn't handle her sexy Stacy soul.

God she's so fucking hot.

I hate how society assigns me worth for having a uterus. I hate being desired.

>>587763
Externalize, don’t internalize. You wouldn’t hate yourself for other people having shit beliefs in any other context.

Reframe this as a good thing in some way. And I don’t mean in the agp fetishist way. I feel like I am correcting a “wrong” when I deny males a way in which to “have’ me. I imagine myself as a spider queen. I shun them from my nest, they die, and take their nasty minds with them.

>>587723
You're still attached to dysphoria in some way. The fact that you're using this term instead of something more specific and personal to you (self-loathing, shame, fear of re-victimization, whatever else) is a sign that you still rely on it. Good therapy helps but it's no easy task to find a good psych who will actually help you challenge yourself.
>this is the same as when youre psychotic and self aware or severely mentally impaired by destructive thought patterns
No it's not. Unless you were the kind of autist TiF that's cut off from reality and believed she could actually become male, it's nothing like psychosis. What's more likely is you didn't want to let go of your symptom, deep down. And that's normal but you'll never truly change for the better if you don't accept dysphoria is just a crutch. You seem close though, wanting a practical solution is a very good sign you're ready to move on from ruminating. Good luck nona.

I just recently turned 18, and I'm coming up on my 2-year testosterone anniversary. I was a stupid, mentally ill child and I, for some fucking reason, thought it was a good idea to take STEROIDS before I even knew how to drive. God, nonas, how could I do that to myself?! My mom showed me a picture of my eleven-year-old self a few weeks ago since she was looking back on my old pictures for my birthday - as I saw the image, my heart shattered, because all I could think of is how deeply I betrayed that sweet child. I want to weep. I will never be that healthy, free or unbothered again.
I don't know what to do. I seriously don't know what to do. God, I wish I didn't decide to be a permanent medical patient when I was 16. I wasted my entire adolescence larping as a man because I wasn't respected as an ugly autistic lesbian and somehow I roped my entire family into it.
The fact that I was young when I started testosterone and the fact that I'm naturally "masculine" makes it so I am, today, indistinguishable from a man to the vast majority of people. I will never, ever be a regular woman - not that I ever knew how to relate to other girls anyways, because of the aforementioned autism and homosexuality. But I yearn for female friendships and for sweet, romantic love with another woman. I'm so godamn lonely. I'm not a man, but the fact that I look like one makes it so I can't make female friendships, even online. I'm mourning a life I never even gave myself the chance to have.
The grief is so overwhelming. I can't go back. My beautiful singing voice is gone, I'm hairy, I have to take DHT blockers to prevent myself from balding after I poisoned myself with a hormone that made me bald.
This post has no real structure, no real purpose. To be honest, I'm probably going to keep living as a "man", because I don't want to go back to being forced to conform to the utter humiliation of the female gender role, and I don't want to go through all of the nightmarish hormonal changes of female puberty, and I don't want to see the look on my mother's face when I tell her she allowed me to ruin my life (not that I blame her at all). I just need to get this off my chest, because God knows I have no friends who'd listen. I wish I could go back in time and hug that precious child and tell her that she's lovely just the way she is, and that she doesn't have to poison herself. It's all so awful.

>society assigns me worth for having a uterus
It really doesn’t though. At most you are just recognised as someone with one.
>I hate being desired
Males are also “desired”, moreover, this isn’t much an issue exclusively solved with transition.

I’m trying to be so normal right now.

AYRT I don't have an answer for you, sorry. I don't think you should feel ashamed for just finding it arousing, because you can't control it and you're not actually doing harm to anyone. It's also my understanding you're only aroused by this when it's between adult women, so you're not attracted to actual infants but I'm assuming the humiliation of an adult regressing to that state. But it's a whole other thing if you want to do this irl. When you jump from fantasy to the realm of reality, even if everything you're doing is technically legal and the woman you're with is sane/willing and you can both communicate your boundaries, who knows what actually partaking in that fetish is going to do to your psyche. Do you know why you have this fetish? Do you just enjoy the humiliation aspect, or did you develop this due to trauma because ngl I'm somehow more okay with my lesbian nugget yandere fantasy than abdl. Not trying to make it out that mine is somehow better, but it's true I don't feel much shame for having this fantasy whereas I can understand why you even have to ask this question or feel shame about yours since anything involving emulating infants is too close to actual pedophilia and it's kind of instinctual for that to evoke disgust.

I also do not want this to occur in real life, like maybe a kidnapping roleplay, but I don't actually want to sever my lover's limbs off because she cheated on me…Even if I could get away with it and she wanted me to, I don't want to commit such a heinous act. It's just a retarded fantasy to soothe my fear of my trust being broken, where I can keep her all to myself and in a way make cheating practically impossible. If this is a fetish for you, as in you can only get off to this one fantasy and can't get off without it, then I think you should unpack why that is. At the end of the day though, you make the call with what you want to do with your life, and only you know if your actions will align with your particular set of morals. I can't say that it's objectively the worst thing to do, but I can't say that it's objectively the right thing to do either.

Samefag but I kind of feel this is derailing and ruining the good vibe the thread had, apologies.

My thread tax is I also love slender legs, wrists and pretty feet and hands so there's no way I could actually ruin her beauty like that kek. I want to kiss her from head to toe and eat her out all day. I want her to be super clingy afterwards, cuddling me till we start getting horny again from the contact and it grows into us grinding on each other. I'd love to feel her silky lips and bush on my clit before we settle into the perfect position and mindlessly hump each other to get off. I want to drown her in warmth and affection and keep her all to myself forever, existing for her smile. The simplest task would become heaven on earth, like cooking or even chores, just because she's by my side. We'd never have to feel fear or shame again and sleep would come so easy to the both of us. Her scent, which is mixed with mine, would surround me when I lay my head down on my pillow and when I wake up and I'd know we were safe.

Sort of a confession but I often consider swapping my hygiene products with ones that are vaguely milky or maternal because my fantasy is a woman finding this hopelessly erotic and clamoring to fuck me due to her unresolved mommy issues.

>>589215
Stop reading troon fetish shit from Tumblr. It's worse for you than if you combined PCP, methamphetamine, salvia, and fentanyl.

>>587301
I feel this because I’m sort of similar. I have a fetish for furniture, specifically corners of furniture. I’ve been masturbating with the corners of desks, tables, sinks, counters for my entire life; just imagining myself on one that I see makes me get worked up.

>>588213
I hope I get one too because I, too, have this fetish

Reporting him to the police would unfortunately result in nothing, she would need pretty graphic evidence. A few videos of her sister walking on an old ipod would get her laughed out the door. Im not even sure if it's correct to say that this behavior results in escalation, because so many boys do stuff like this to their sisters without them ever knowing. Underwear stealing, creepy recording, covert groping. It's like your value as a person means nothing to them and then they just go on to get married and pretend it never happened.

>>588779
A call to social services would be better, they're more likely to react to incest than cops. But that's a difficult decision. I'm at a loss of words, i hope nona manages to warn her sister and leaves. Sometimes leaving is the kindest thing you can do

I was completely unable to experience pain-free sexual arousal or masturbation from ages 13-21. This changed recently when I got a genital procedure that completely cured my chronic pain and restored my ability to feel sexual pleasure.

Not to be dramatic but I had the worst 24/7 chronic pain I’ve ever felt in my life for an entire year and a half before getting my surgery, and I feel slightly traumatized from it. I could not move an inch without being in horrific pain and the meds they prescribed me barely worked (and also made me catastrophically suicidal for some reason). Even before it was 24/7, I experienced on and off pain when I wasn’t touching myself or anything. This type of thing is called persistent genital arousal disorder, and it felt like I was on the verge of an excruciatingly painful orgasm all the time. In public, around family members, around males I hated and felt 0 attraction towards, etc. such a mind fuck, and before I was diagnosed with a physical genital condition that was causing it I thought I had finally gone completely insane. That it was all in my head, which lead to self medicating with alcohol and clonazepam before seeking out a doctor.

But even the local gynecologists misdiagnosed me and discouraged me from seeing one of the only specialists for my condition in the country. I had to shell out thousands of dollars out of pocket because this female medical condition isn’t covered by insurance! Once the surgery was done, my specialist said it was the most shocking and severe case of (insert genital condition) she’s ever seen in her life.

I don’t have pain anymore but I also don’t know how to move on from this. If someone were to attempt to have sex with me I’d become enraged, it would just remind me of the endless torture I went through before anyone bothered to believe me. I still hate becoming aroused now and I only associate it with pain and humiliation. I also worry that I won’t find a female that’s okay with me preferring penetration (my clit was what was operated on and the main source of my pain). I’m also ashamed of being a virgin and I hate all of my peers for being able to build romantic relationships/have sex while I was in my own personal hell

I interpreted it as anon finding an old ipod from years ago, and that they're adults now.

It's a shame, the darker colors and toned down designs of gothic and classic could actually be flattering on fatties if they tried. The pastels and overdone prints and high waist cuts sweet brands have usually just make them look bigger.

>>589614
They have no excuse bc literally the first rule as a fat girl that you learn is 'wear black because it's slimming'
maybe that's why they think it's ~subversive~ to wear pastels 'because the patriarchy doesn't want us to' no just because you look kinda worse like that…

I see this girl on my fyp a lot and I can’t stand her makeup or editing. It does nothing for her facial features, and she looks sped
>>589510
Their western brand manager/marketer or whatever her position is called is a wannabe ftm and on the plump side from what I remember. She doesn’t bother to transition though, she just puts her pronouns in her bio. That’s probably why.

>>589469
I really like Atelier Pierrot and respect the work that they do, just wish they’d pick better models for their fashion shows.

>>589625
NAYRT and I don’t care about their gender but their international marketing manager isn’t plump at all, you can see them at the very end of that reel.

Atelier Pierrot pick their ugliest things to make plus-sized, I swear. I loved their collab with Vallee Lys and would have bought several pieces but all of it was 90 bust or smaller.

Most of the Love Island girls are probably doing what every reality TV contestant has been doing since the genre's conception: trying to use it to become famous kek. I'm sure some of them believe they'll have a fairytale romance with a moid who looks like a spraytanned fridge, but most people who go on these types of shows are ambitious and willing to make a fool of themselves (or throw everyone else under the bus) for the potential long-term benefit.

Did anyone here get laser for their varicose veins? I'm only 25 but I have a big vein on my calf for years now and I hate wearing shorts because of it, it looks geriatric. I saw they offer in office laser but the side effects could be a clot. Any nonas have some experience or am I the only loser with veins here?

>>589573
I stopped wearing shorts when I was 13 because of them. I have a lot so it's pointless to try but I had a friend who used makeup to cover hers and it was fine. Another friend I know had the laser and her legs were covered with them, it did help with with some of them but there's a lot that are still visible. I guess it's hit or miss. If it really bothers you and you have the money you should go for it, I don't think clot is too common or they wouldn't offer it. I have no idea what I'm talking about though.

>>589455
Yeah but removing your ribs is not safe. It doesn’t matter what plastic surgeons say about it, all they want is your money. The same thing with jaw shaving. Your face won’t be fitted properly and will sag without it’s structure. (Also the way your facial expression will look uncanny near the jaw area.) Imagine what that would be like for your ribs that are meant to protect your organs
