She was only outwardly biphobic to me on a handful of occasions throughout our relationship, but she did make comments towards other bi people too.

The first time it happened, I blew the fuck up. She gagged after I mentioned that I'm not a lesbian because I'm still attracted to men. She gagged at me and said it was disgusting. I'd never experienced anything like that before. I was under the impression that we were part of the same community and therefore equal. This was my first wlw relationship, so I guess I was naive.

We used to be involved in the BDSM scene, where she was allowed to dominate men (non sexual), but I wasn't unless she was involved. We were allowed to sleep with other people, but I wasn't allowed to look at a man. I assumed this was pretty normal, and accepted her boundaries, but I kind of felt like I was suppressing myself.

She continued made a handful of underhanded comments towards my sexuality, for example She would openly declare "I don't date bi women", "see, this is why I don't date bi girls". She was generally very open about her disgust towards male attraction. She would make faces and say "ew, why?" If a woman expressed that she was straight. She would try to convince them otherwise. When my friend realised she was bi, not gay, my ex said "I'm so sorry" among other things to her, in front of her trans boyfriend. It really got to both of them, and they stopped talking to her after that.

She would always try to convince me that I was a lesbian, and now that our relationship is over I'm having a sexuality crisis and realising that I now hold a lot of internalised biphobia that I didn't have before. I have never felt ashamed of disgusted by my sexuality before. I have never felt like it was something I should hide. I never even had to come out to my parents, we are a really accepting household. But a lesbian, with a history of dating men, with parents who laughed in her face and didn't want to accept her, a family that I had to convince that I was worthy of being a part of, has deconstructed my entire world.

I'm dating again. I don't want to date men, I haven't even been attracted to a man in a long time. I keep asking myself "is that because I'm gay, Or is it because I'm ashamed?" And I cant tell anymore. I think I generally have better experiences with women, I don't see myself ever dating a man again really. I find myself hiding my sexuality now. I don't want to talk about it. The label feels dirty, I feel tainted. When I'm talking to a woman and she asks I feel so much guilt and shame. I feel like I have to apologise for ever being touched by man and for ever wanting to be touched by one. I'm so scared that I'll find someone and they won't want to be with me because I'm dirty.

Maybe I've always held some level of biphobia. Maybe I've never taken it seriously. I've always centered men because that's what I was taught to do. Maybe I'm not even bi, or never was. I don't even know anymore. I'm so confused.

My first wlw breakup was like 6 weeks ago. We were together 3 years, but I had to end things. The first month was hard, and very emotional, but I put myself out there made friends, went to events, social meetings and the works.

Month 2 so far has been killer. I feel like I'm going through a metamorphosis and it's making me feel like I'm crazy. I feel messy, unhinged, deeply sad, and desperately needy. I've been talking to someone (hookup vibes only) and i've been on messy solo nights out.

I don't feel like myself anymore. Every day I wake up with this pit in my stomach, this totally new and unfamiliar feeling. I don't think I'm depressed, but man I'm really going through it. I feel like I have lost all sense of self. I feel like I'm losing touch with reality. Wtf is going on. I'm also autistic which probs doesn't help anything. Will this feeling go away? I just want to feel normal again.

I'm bi (I think), and recently single. I was in a wlw relationship for like 3 years, and it made me realise and question a lot of things about my sexuality.

I've been recently getting more involved in my local queer community, which algorithms such as Instagram seem to have picked up on. The feed has been pushing content to me that has made me feel a little ashamed of my sexuality, like I'm not queer enough. I now feel the need to ask permission to attend sapphic/lesbian events, and am very hesitant to share my sexuality with others. Maybe I should just start identifying as a lesbian, since I have zero desire to pursue men anymore. But then part of me feels like it's wrong to not be authentic. I can't help that I'm attracted to men, why should my attraction make me less queer!?

I've read some discourse about bisexual women attending lesbian events, and there seems to be a lot of comments from other queer women that make me feel shameful and invalidated. Are we really that different? I date women, I just so happen to be attracted to men.

I only have 2 male friends, both are trans. I find myself more drawn to, and more comfortable around trans men rather than cis men. I don't purposefully seek out trans men, but I tend to feel safer and as if we share a mutual understanding. They may be men, but they have an understanding of the female experience. I seem to value this and feel that it's easier to connect because of it. Is this a form of "positive" transphobia?

I also tend to connect with trans men more than trans women, could this be internalised transphobia?

Want to add here that I'm autistic, so understanding relationships is very important to me, which is why I'm asking these questions. Please be kind.

This was my first wlw relationship. It was pretty intense right from the start. After 3 years and a week break with minimal contact I told her I wanted to end it. It's so hard, I'm so sad. The breakup was so difficult because there wasn't anger, or screaming, or hostility. We just walked, and talked, and cried for a few hours. We held each other, talked about the things that we are going to miss, talked about why it isn't gonna work. It was so hard to say goodbye and go home afterwards.

My dad and sister took me for ice cream, and I'm trying to make sure that I eat and drink. I wish it didn't have to end, but it did. This doesn't even feel real right now. I'm just lying in bed crying and waiting for sleep.

I've been learning to drive for years. I have Autism so I seem to have spent more time learning that most. I took a test in December and failed, re-booked for the following March. Couldn't find an instructor til end of Feb. Pushed March back til end of this month. Instructor doesn't think I'm ready, and now the next available date for my test is in January. I don't know how I'm gonna do this. 6 months is crazy

Does anyone know if any of the anfield exclusive merch will be available online?

Also Does anyone have a poster that they'd be willing to sell/trade? It's all I wanted from the merch stand but didn't get the opportunity to go :(

I didn't record it but the group who started it weren't far from me. I'd love to hear it back. Does anyone have the footage?

Basically I was lied to. Twice. Security told me there would be merch in the stadium, which was false. Then a steward told me that all of the merch stalls were closed after the concert.....also not true. I missed out big time. The poster is what I really wanted to get! I'm so gutted. I'll never listen to staff again.

Hellooo, I was at the concert last night and was really hoping to grab a poster from the merch stand, but they had ran out by the time I got there. Does anyone know if they'll be available online, or if there is anywhere I could grab one?

I am audhd and have gone through hundreds of fidget toys, but stimagz are the only ones to have stuck. I saved up and bought my SII set when the UK warehouse was open. They have never left my pocket/hand/desk since. I used them all throughout uni, they helped me to stay focused and do the work (graduating with a 1:1 next week so they deffinalty did the trick :D). I used them in work to keep me on task. I've stopped biting my nails, I don't constantly doomscroll, and when I'm going to have a meltdown they are my go to!

Unfortunately, 2 days ago I lost them. I was out, it was very busy, and I was very overwhelmed. They must've fallen out of my pocket while I was trying to get out of the crowd. I noticed they were gone and spent hours looking for them, but I think someone has taken them. I had a massive meltdown which I still haven't recovered from.

Luckily I'd been saving up so that very morning I had already ordered a set of Dubz. But I'm not looking forward to receiving them. The only reason I got them was because I had a set of SIIs. I emailed customer service to try to amend/cancel my order but they shipped it out before sending me a reply. I really just want my SIIs back. I'm so devastated. It took me months to save up and I was only able to afford them because they were on sale. The UK shipping is so expensive....I wish they'd open another warehouse in the UK.

I just wanted to come and rant and get it all off my chest. If you've got autism you'll understand how attached you can get to objects.

Which is your favourite of the presets?

I've been learning to drive on and off for 5 years. I'm now 26 and have 1 failed test under my belt and another test booked in July. I've been through 5 instructors and have finally found someone who I feel safe with, but I'm becoming overwhelmed with information. He says my problem is that I'm being too black and white about driving, and that I need to be able to make snap decisions not just plan for one thing. The problem is that I'm Autistic. My brain is literally wired that way and no matter how hard I try I can't stop being autistic. He knows this, but sometimes it's like he doesn't understand at all. I'm so tired, but I need to pass my test because traveling outside of my home city for work is my only option right now and I really struggle with public transport.

I'm usually able to pick things up very quickly and easily which could be down to my pattern recognition and ability to mimic well. With driving it feels like neither apply and I'm constantly trying to keep up and juggle a million possibilities at once.

Those with ASD/ASC/ADHD, how did you do it? Do you have any cheat codes? Advice? I'm feeling really bogged down.

My mum watches this show everyday, so I've gotten sucked in from second hand exposure. One thing that drives me mad is how abruptly some episodes end. Like what do you mean that's it!? No follow up? What about the other characters involved? WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!?!?!

Not the bands that you came to see specifically, but an act that you checked out and ended up being amazing.

For me it's Electric Callboy, Bloodywood and Trivium. All artists that I like anyway, but sounded extra good at Download.

Has anyone volunteered for these before? If so, could you give me some info on what the staff camping was like? Last time I volunteered witu Hotbox the staff camping was horrendous.

It's been a while since I picked up a good book. I was half way through the kingkiller chronicles, but uni got it the way. Now uni is finished I want to start reading again but need something to kick off my interest.

Looking for something relatively short, very gripping, not sad, romantic, or too dystopian (the world is fucked up enough atm). Something that will be difficult to put down. You know that feeling when you start reading faster and faster just to know what happens next?
