Thanks everybody! It's so much fun to share them with you! In my early collecting days, I used to hunt for every takara picture I could find. It feels good to put some out there finally lol!  Though if you want to see some REALLY cute takara pics, you should check out shelvesofwhimsey! She's the one who made the custom clothes and clothing racks for my girls!

If a guy is part of a relationship, and has agreed with his partner that he doesn't want kids, yet he places the ENTIRE burden of birth control on her, that's selfish as hell.
If his reasoning for not getting surgery is that it will "make him less of a man" then that's selfishness mixed with good old misogyny.
He still has a right to do whatever he wants with his body, of course. You're right--no one has a right to force someone to get surgery they don't want, or any sort of procedure, even something as small as a tattoo. If I was in a relationship with such a man. I would explain my side of things, and I would let him say his piece, and if he continued to be selfish I would know he didn't value me, and I would leave.
I wouldn't beg and plead and pressure anyone to have surgery against their wishes, especially since the problem isn't really that they won't have the surgery--it's that they don't value their partners enough to take any responsibility. The problem is in the attitude, and that wouldn't be fixed by pressuring the dude to have surgery anyway.

It amazes me how many men say that they do not want children, yet refuse to take any responsibility and have vasectomies. It makes me furious--honestly, if I couldn't get a tubal and my husband and I wanted to be childfree but he said he refused to get snipped...that would be a divorce-worthy offense in my book. I mean, how selfish can you be? You want ME to take on the burden of worrying about an unwanted pregnancy because you won't have a simple, outpatient procedure? It's like these dudes are children. And they always seem to get off the hook for their childish behavior.
Relationships are supposed to be partnerships. I don't know...it makes me mad on behalf of you ladies!

True, I'm sorry that you've also been turned away by sexist doctors! Several of my trans friends have similar stories and feelings...trans people have a hard enough time accessing the medical care they need, let alone being burdened by sexism. Ugh.
There are also a lot of cis women (like me) who have always felt repulsed by pregnancy. The idea of something growing inside me is terrifying and horrible to me. In my essay though, I decided not to focus on why I don't want kids, because I don't feel like that part is even important. Whether it's because pregnancy freaks you out, or pregnancy doesn't mesh with your gender identity, or kids are too loud for you, or WHATEVER--what's important is that you don't. Want. Kids. Period. And you should be able to say that, have people take you seriously, and make a decision based on what's best for you.
I pointed out to doctors one and three how heteronormative their comments to me were as well, when they would start talking about a future husband. Like, first of all, how do you know that I even plan to get married to anyone? Second, how do you know I even like guys? How do you know I'm not gay? Why are you making the assumption that I want a husband one day?

The ACLU is actually suing a religious hospital right now on behalf of a woman who was denied a tubal ligation by a religious hospital. I believe the ACLU will win, so things may be looking up for you in the future!
Tell your husband that his decision to not get a vasectomy is putting you in danger. His choice means that you have to carry the burden of worrying about unwanted pregnancies. I can't imagine what I would do in that situation. I'm sorry he isn't more supportive. :/
We actually considered suing the doctor, and if I hadn't been able to find anyone else to tie my tubes, I might have. But since I found someone within a year, I let it slide. Sometimes I still wonder if that was the right thing.
By the way, from what I understand, insurance companies actually jump at the chance to cover tubals because it's so much cheaper than having to cover the cost of childbirth and childcare. Tubals save insurance companies untold amounts of money. Mine gave me no problem at all.

Pony friends! I just published a personal essay with Marie Claire! I'm so excited--it takes such a long time to get even something small published somewhere. I had a lot of help from friends along the way. http://www.marieclaire.com/health-fitness/a15937/tubes-tied-young/Just wanted to share!

I can tell you what the signs say! The first sign in the hair salon lists their services!
-"Shampoo"
-"Cut"
-"Blow"
-"Perm"
The next is not a mirror, it's a TV!  The arch says "Omekashi TV". The words below, next to the keyholes, are the channels, ahahah! Let's see, the channels I can recognize are the Sports channel at the bottom, and I think channel 2 is the "party" channel???
All the boxes say the same thing..... on the top above the view window it literally says "My Little Pony", then the sticker on the window says "Kara Wedding". The back is a little harder to read, but it all seems to say "Wonderful/Lovely dress, a girl's dream! It's sure to come true!!" and things like "I really love the Pony Dress!" Is that all you wanted to know?
Thanks so much! Yeah, I'm just looking to have the back of the wedding boxes translated--all the little things they're saying and whatnot. I love to know as much as I can...plus the dialogue is so cute!

It doesn't have its cord, though it does have the purple, dangly loop--which is usually broken off on these charms.

I know I once sold a piggy Rayito and upon arriving the buyer said it was a rehair...I had no idea!
I think if you don't customize ponies (which I don't--I don't even pop their heads off ever, as it makes me super nervous) then there's almost no way to tell. Her hair looked just like the hair of my other piggies, so I was flabbergasted.
As far as what to do, I offered a full refund, but in the end the buyer and I agreed on a partial refund, and she kept the piggy. I think it depends on the individual situation, but for my part I will always offer full refunds if I have made a mistake.

Hey all,
Due to a vet bill I'm considering selling the rare Sweet Scoops charm I bought at the pony fair this year for $450. Is anyone interested? If so, I will post pics.
Thanks!

Thanks so much ponylady!
I PMed you as well. I'm sure you're swamped after Labor Day weekend, so just wanted to make sure you saw.
My takara ponywear arrives tomorrow, and there will be a massive update then! I'm super excited ya'll.
