What are "Snake Bytes"?

Metal spikes in your lips that make you look like you have fangs.

Something to keep from ever getting a decent job or being thought of as a productive citizen.

Dentist's love 'em for the extra work they create due to chipped and cracked teeth. Needless to say the dental insurance companies who pay up to $5K or double or triple that for the crowns or bridges needed are less than enthusiastic. But if we can't be young and foolish when we are young, when can we be young and foolish?

I am entitled to my opinion. As are you. I somehow made it past the teen years without marking my body to badly, and now that I am old and not so wise, I can tell you forthright that if you walk into my establishment looking for a job and have them in your face, you do not even need to bother filling out an application, you aren't getting hired. The hospital I work for will NOT let you come to work with them in. Show up with them in and you have 2 choices, take them out, or go home.

Sorry yougin'. troof is troof.

What we do to our appearance sends a message. When we decide to step outside the norm -as is our right-then we have to be prepared to face both judgment and consequences. When it is something we have no choice about-like transitioning-it is just a part of the process and we have no choice. When it is piercing or tats or other voluntary alterations or aberrations then I don't think we can complain about the forseeable consequences.

In other words-do it if you want but take the consequences without complaint because it IS your choice. Part of being adult enough to alter your appearance is being adult enough to accept the consequences of your behavior.

Not saying that you should or shouldn't. Only you can decide that. I would say with any piercing of the mouth or nose please be sure and research the possible medical complications as well as considering the societal ones. They are formidable if any infection develops and can involve the brain

Im having all my bottom teeth taken out as theyre loose due to having a large overbite all my life and having implants - which im dreading, the thought of anyone deliberately having "snake bites" as described, makes me shudder. However, facial piercings seem to be quite popular with young people. I have a pierced ear, but dont often wear an ear ring as I feel it makes me look a bit of a "sado" as an older guy but now and then wear a diamond in it, if im at a party.

I think the kind of thing mentioned is about making a statement and its not one I'd want to make, but hey ho - all about preferences.

A Snake bite in England is a glass of beer and cider mixed, which sounds equally as abhorent to me, yuk!

I would never get them because I have spent a lifetime trying not to stand out from the crowd as much as I do already.

As a 6'3" transwomen in her 60s I am stand out in a crowd without any other alterations.

Love ya,

Sally

You guys do realize that you can take piercings out before you go to work right? I have a brow piercing and it hasn't caused any problems... because I take it out before I go to work. Same thing with tattoos... just get them in a place you can cover them up. I plan to get a partial sleeve done eventually but not far enough down that it cant be covered by a long sleeve shirt.

I have my lip pierced on one side only and I make more then most people my age. It really depends on the company, places are becoming more tolerant then they used to back in the day. Obviously outward appearances can leave some impressions as that is one of the ways most people judge other individuals. Even so like Jodie said you can always take it out for part of the day. Even plastic peices can be used to keep the peircing from shrinking and be some what invisible.

      Good morning    @Ivy I hope you have a wonderful time with your meeting and after dinner.    My morning started early letting the puppy out to take care of business. While he was doing that I brewed my coffee.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I'll be going up the mountain for my VA support group today.  It's a bit of a drive, but worth it for me.  Some of the people up there have been eating together with me after the meetings, and it's been really nice to be around other trans folks of both genders.  I don't have that around here.

      Church of Scotland Theological Forum delivers report on Transgender Identities within the Church

      By DeeDee · Posted

      The full report and debate is available to watch on the Church of Scotland YouTube channel, but it is 50 minutes long, and other than a few uneducated comments from folks with obvious agendas it was overwhelmingly positive. The forum committee is made up of ministers with deliberately wide/opposing doctrinal beliefs so a unanimous statement is rare, as part of the consultation process it gives me hope that there will be a place for me and my voice.   "First, building on the Church's existing statements on transgender people, we believe that transgender people should be loved, and respected, and welcomed in our congregations. "It is the foundation of Christian ethics that all people are made in the image of God, and are worthy of our respect and love, and this is true of transgender people also. "Yet second, and based on our exploration of gender in the Bible, the Forum is also unanimous in believing that transgender people should not only be welcomed in our church, but allowed to serve in our Church. "That the Church should not treat transgender people differently from others, but after considering their giftings and callings, should admit them to office if we believe God wills it. "By focussing on the importance of welcome, and the ability of God to use every Christian for service, we believe our report offers the Church a route through a debate that has, at times, become toxic, and allows us to model a better way of engaging with issues of gender. "Because in these days when we as a Church are building for the future, we need to make sure that it is the Lord that is building the house. "That it is the Triune God of Father, Son and Spirit - confessed in our creeds and confessions, yet experienced most fully when we live in love - that is building us up.”

      The whole idea of using law to enforce gender is kind of weird when you think about it.  I still don't get why it's so important what some people think (or know) about themselves, and why it matters to anyone else. I don't expect everyone else to put on a dress just because I do it. And then they bring "God" into it - like they know what he/she/them/it knows.

      My new therapist is really nice. She asked me about grandma raising me making wedding dresses and cakes as well as raising me to be a "tom boy".  My love of sewing, cooking, knitting, etc... She loves my preferred name (Birdie), and that her best friend in school was called Birdie as well.  I will be seeing her every month. 😉
