I'd like to preface this by saying i know looks don't matter when it comes to being butch, but i still have my concerns.

I've felt more connected to masculinity than femininity all my life. I remember being jealous of my male classmates as a teenager for having social structures not commonly present in female communities, all while being a woman (i considered being trans, but that's not me). It sounds silly, but I'm still very jealous of the stereotype of middle aged men grilling and inhaling peanuts all the time (that should be ME!).

I mostly present masculine - all my skirts and dresses have been rotting away in my closet ever since i gained the ability to choose my own clothes as a teenager. My concern is that I sometimes present feminine. It feels like I'm putting on a costume rather than it being me, but that still stops me from using the butch label. I also don't present 100% masculine either. I want to have long hair, I don't mind wearing skin-tight shirts (mostly black tank tops though because they're the ones that don't look TOO feminine), i wear tons of jewelry, etc.

TLDR, I connect a LOT with the butch label, but I feel like i don't fit into the category enough to call myself that.

I understand the rest of the pronoun types just fine, but object pronouns (engem, téged, őt, etc) confuse me a little. Can someone show me an example of them being used in a sentence (and provide a detailed translation/explanation, if possible)

Total tech noob here. I bought a second-hand CD player from the internet, but it was specified that the cable is missing, and the seller doesn't know what type of cable it is. I don't have the CD player right now, but I have an image for the connector

Hello! I'm Latvian trying to start learning Hungarian independently.

I'd say I'm better than average at learning new languages, though I've primarily focused on Germanic/Baltic languages and I'm aware that Hungarian is a lot different than the Indo-European languages I've interacted with, so I need guidance on where to start, what to focus on, whatever seems important for a total beginner.

Though I'd like to mention that I'm currently not able to get much paid materials because my financial situation is very bad, but I don't mind spending a few extra years learning :-) I'm in no hurry, I just happen to be great friends with some people from Hungary (though I don't want to ask them for Hungarian advice/explanations for totally personal reasons). Thank you in advance!

Hi! Like the title says, I'm looking for some advice on how to help my partner with health OCD.

My partner has been pretty open about this issue and I know she's in therapy and can take care of herself when needed, but I still want to be informed on how to react to potential situations. I know everyone is different and there isn't a holy grail for this, but I want to be prepared for when I have a talk with her directly about this.

What do I do if one of us gets sick? I have a pretty good immune system, but I know it's going to happen at some point.

Is there any potentially triggering language? I try to not talk too much about health with her just to be safe.

What should I do if I ever notice her indulging in obsessive-compulsive behaviors? I haven't seen it much during our relationship, like I said, she is in therapy, but what if?

Besides those questions, I would like to hear about problems that arise from health OCD in general. I don't want to be ignorant on accident, so please inform me!

I would also like to mention I have a rough personal understanding of how obsessive-compulsive behaviors work as a whole - i've been struggling with trichotillomania and other behaviors that are extremely similar to those with OCD all my life (but I don't think it's full-blown OCD), so don't worry about me misunderstanding the fact it's not just "overreacting" or something of that sort. I just want to understand this disorder better outside of objective articles. Thank you in advance! 💝

Hello! I've known that I'm lesbian for about 11 years now, and I have an amazing lesbian girlfriend who I've been together with for a year now, but I've been extremely closeted and insecure until about 3 years ago.

I feel pretty confident in my sexuality now, but it feels more individual rather than feeling a part of a community, and it doesn't help that all queer women I know are bisexual.

I'm not really sure where to start with actually educating myself on lesbian culture and our history, and especially how to find community... I live in rural Eastern Europe so I know not all advice on finding community may apply to me, but it won't hurt to ask.

Thank you in advance!
