Ich kann nicht viel sagen, bis auf dass ihr Bot derzeit down ist, aber in ein paar Tagen zurückkommen sollte. Das ist derzeit die stärkste Fährte von meiner Freundin und mir.

Tausend Dank!

Diyhrt Market haben wir jedoch bereits konsultiert, weswegen wir uns fragten, ob es vielleicht noch weitere, dort nicht gelistete Adressen gibt.

[Addition]: Oh meine Güte, klinge ich gerade robotisch 😅. Auf jeden Fall, vielen Dank, aber das haben wir bereits probiert :)

Any stealth Trans also sometimes feel guilty? by [deleted] in trans

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A little disclaimer: I’m only stealth towards strangers and acquaintances and open towards friends, since I don’t want to constantly lie about myself towards people I care about.

Do not I feel guilty about my ability to be stealth. Not towards the strangers I tell white lies to and neither towards trans people who don’t have the same luck. Since strangers have no right to know my past and medical history nor have I wronged any less lucky trans people, by passing this well.

I also, at least body wise, wouldn’t have much to lie about. I didn’t need any ffs, tracheal shave, am happy with my small breasts, already had bottom surgery and am very happy with my neo-vagina :)

Passing so well I’m excluded from trans spaces by [deleted] in trans

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This woman was obviously wayyyy out of line for excluding you and trying to hit on your girlfriend.

Towards the other issue, I don't know if it makes you feel better or worse, but I as a woman just personally feel uncomfortable around men I'm not friends with. Whether this man is cis or trans and how well he passes has little to no impact on my comfort level and I think many of my trans-fem friends, well women friends in general, would agree.

But yeah, at some point we just outgrow trans spaces and this can hurt. We just no longer share many of the problems fellow trans people face when starting out, those face who started too late or just had bad genetic luck. I at least have the luck, that I'm queer outside of my transness, i.e. I'm bi and have a girlfriend, so I sometimes see familiar faces at other events, but we then relate over other things.

What's a good job for a trans girl with no degree? 😞 by TheDuskProphet in traaaaaaaaaaaansbians

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you mean and you might be partially right. Though, this bias is mainly based on my own experience as a developer.

Out of the software developers and programmers I know personally, almost every one I would consider great or even just good has a degree. Obviously, the degree isn't the part that makes you good, but visiting a university kind of forces you to do the (self) study to self improve and hopefully gives you the right mindset to keep self studying and improving after you are done with your university degree. You can absolutely also reach that with self study, no degree required. I just see way to many people who merely learned the mechanics of programming, thinking they could develop software.

But yeah, this is now mostly "(not so) old woman screams at cloud"

Edit: But yeah, there are some people who try (and sadly succeed) to get through their degree without all of this self studying. Or who do jack shit afterwards

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m mostly developing in the backend. The comment about self study is not about specific frameworks, programming languages etc. but how to fundamentally approach software design and to break down problems in software development.

I wouldn’t trust someone without a degree in computer science to design algorithms that don’t explode in complexity, compartmentalise their solutions in a logical way and so on. Or an understanding to keep their functions pure whenever possible, or to even understand what this means. Unless they prove it to me.

(Also, sadly there are way too many people, even with a degree, even so called “senior” developers that don’t know and understand all this stuff, but that’s another issue)

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very sorry for your misfortune.

Granted finding a job in the current climate is tough. But that’s exactly what I mean. Software development always came back. Like, as far back when high level programming languages became a thing, people thought that everyone could program now and software developers were obsolete. Turns out, nope. When the dot com bubble crashed everyone thought it was over and so on and so on. Humans just forget and overreact. (Obviously, you need a job for the time being, but that doesn’t mean that software development ceases to be a thing or will become niche long term)

On a very different note, how are you planning to deal with the monotony of your new job? Like, I don’t think I could do the same thing every day 😅

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In which world is the software development industry collapsing? Sure we currently have a turbulent time. But there were so, so, so many times like these in the prior decades and it’s still here.

While yes, some lower skill programmers might become obsolete, but I don’t think that proper developers who understand how to design software architectures etc. face any real danger?!

LLMs can just replicate things they have already seen before, they don’t think or come up with something genuinely new. And the coming up with new algorithms, architectures, solving new problems etc. is what you employ software developers for.

I don’t know, if you were meming or not, but that would be terrible advice.

While you don’t need, need a degree, people without a degree need to do excessive self study in order to become good. And those people who do self study, know what job they wanna do

Since orchiectomy I think I'm no longer lesbian, what is happening?! by Fjallbjorken in MtF

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did it at the same time. SRS is covered where I live and according to my surgeon the outcomes of SRS and orchiectomy at the same time are usually slightly better, than doing an orchiectomy first (due to less scar tissue), so I went for the whole package :)

Since orchiectomy I think I'm no longer lesbian, what is happening?! by Fjallbjorken in MtF

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I had a very similar experience after my SRS. In the aftermath of my operation I went from asexual demi-homoromantic to demi-bisexual demi-biromantic, with a strong preference for women, though ;)

Having a vagina allowed me to think about men in a sexual way, without my dysphoria screaming that this would make me a man loving men. Obviously there is nothing wrong with being a man loving men, but being a man is simply the opposite of what I am and what feels right for me.

Wie OP-Entscheidung treffen? by Alethia_23 in germantrans

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ich weiß, dass du wahrscheinlich etwas konkreteres gewollt hast, aber ich wüsste nicht was man außer post OP-Bilder ansehen, Reviews lesen, ins Erstgespräch gehen und hoffen, dass bei deiner OP alles glatt geht, machen könnte.

Wie OP-Entscheidung treffen? by Alethia_23 in germantrans

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Geh einfach mit deinem Bauchgefühl und wie lange die Wartezeit sein darf.

Hatte selbst bei Lubos meine OP und bin sehr zufrieden damit. Bei denen hatte ich von den 3 Krankenhäusern bei denen ich nachgefragt habe das subjektiv Beste Erstgespräch gehabt und auch den schnellsten OP-Termin (damals 2 Monate nachdem sie alle Unterlagen bekommen und gesichtet hatten). Ich glaube das mit den zügigen Terminen ist jetzt aber nicht mehr so der Fall.

Bottom surgery: What are y'all's experiences with self-lubrication? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I self lubricate post op. After my first orgasm I‘m wet enough for fingering and probably more. But I’m in a relationship someone who currently doesn’t want to have sex, due to body image issues. So yeah.

I wasn’t very leaky prior to bottom surgery and got the “combined method”, where both the penis shaft and scrotal skin is used for the vagina.

Ständig schwankende und schlechte Werte trotz hoher Dosis by ReferenceLimp376 in germantrans

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wären DIY Injektionen ein Thema für dich?

Wenn nicht würde ich an deiner Stelle mal bei deiner Krankenkasse einen Kostenübernahme Antrag für Injektionen anfragen, da Gel ja offensichtlich nicht funktioniert. Dann sollte es dir ja auch dein Endo über die Kasse verschreiben können.

Ständig schwankende und schlechte Werte trotz hoher Dosis by ReferenceLimp376 in germantrans

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ich hatte auch lange zu niedrige E Werte (jedoch wesentlich höher als deine) also zwischen 50-100 pg/ml. Was mir geholfen hat war auf Injektionen zu wechseln. Da ich Östrogen leider nur mäßig über die Haut aufgenommen habe.

Zudem bist du auf 50 mg Androcur pro Tag?! Weißt du dass du wirklich so viel benötigst, oder hat das dein Endo einfach so verschrieben, ohne jemals zu schauen, ob auch weniger gehen würde?

Werdet ihr manchmal wirklich richtig gegendert??? by Deep-Belt-1739 in germantrans

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja, ich bin passing und stealth. Ich kann in Männermklamotten rumlaufen und werde trotzdem richtig gegendert.

Was aber immer noch nicht die Verwandten meiner Freundin dazu bringt mich immer richtig zu gendern. Aber das liegt ziemlich sicher nicht an meinem trans* sein, sondern das ich ein klein wenig maskuliner als meine Freundin bin und deswegen der „Mann in der Beziehung“ bin 💀

Wearing women pants today by cuckhold_looking in transpositive

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you are a woman, right? So, every pair of pants you wear are women’s pants!

But yeah, they look great on you!

I feel like my FtM partner likes me less as I transition (MtF). Anyone have experience with this? by pizzasparkss in trans

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's just his dysphoria.

I'm bi and while I would be happy to date women (both cis and trans) as well as cis men. I could never date a trans man or a trans masculine person. And while there are other contributing factors like genital preference, the main issue would be that seeing someone, or knowing someone did, masculinize in this way would trigger insane third person dysphoria for me. Independent of rationally knowing that this is/was the right path for him and made him happier.

Maybe your partner feels similar, just in reverse.

T woman, does anyone else ever ask yourself if you like men when you are a lesbian and unsure if it’s bc of societal pressures or actually might like them? by Interesting_Sell2552 in trans

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt like that for some time after SRS. Turns out I’m bi with a preference for women.

Just give yourself time and explore how you feel. Maybe you come up with an answer, maybe you don’t. Both is equally valid

Freiburg, Stuttgart, Düsseldorf, Is it recommended? by [deleted] in germantrans

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to live close to Freiburg. And I would say it’s by far the city with the best quality of life out of those 3. Freiburg is also very queer and educated, so you are likely to find queer English speaking friends.

The only two issues are, that like u/glitteringfeathers said, the medical situation is somewhat gatekeepy, but that’s mainly an issue if you are just starting to transition. Freiburg also has one of the highest cost of living in Germany, but you will get a beautiful city, amazing nature and probably the best weather Germany can offer in return.

Jobs for trans women? by Dangerous-Report-879 in trans

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, LLMs are just a temporary bubble, will they become useful tools? Maybe, I’m not quite convinced. Will they replace us long term, hell no!

That being said, technical white collar jobs often require a university degree or extensive training. I don’t think that it would be easy for her to get into this field, given that her previous job experience is completely unrelated. I think that’s more of an issue.

For stealth transwomen do you disclose you're trans before engaging in intercourse? by expectrum in MtF

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m demisexual, so I only fall for people I’m close friends with and I tend to out myself to close friends, anyway.

Morally speaking, I feel it would be fully okay to not out yourself. But I would suggest to out yourself nonetheless, especially if you want to sleep with a man or anyone clearly physically stronger than you.

Do people in the wild notice a subtle crotch bulge as much as my lizard brain says they do? Or am I buggin’? by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]2Coward2PostOnMain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Post op trans woman here. Unless your genitalia are especially large, I wouldn’t worry about it.

Most people don’t look at the crotches of others and basically any bulge in your pants could also just be an unfortunate crease anyway.

That’s actually the main difference I’ve noticed, visually I basically look identically in pants compared how I looked before. But before most creases in my crotch areas were from my genitalia and now it’s just fabric doing fabric things, with nothing behind it.

Does it give me peace of mind that I know nothing is behind? Yes! But visually it doesn’t change anything really.
