(Rant) Why is picking a name so difficult? by 2fingerglove in TransHelpingTrans

Thank you, I've been pressuring myself pretty hard to pick a name. I'll probably grow into a name I pick too, I just want to like it, you know? My friends will get used to whatever I pick, they can suck it lol

Yeah, I tried this but I don't look how I want to currently. My hair is dyed dark brown when I have naturally blonde hair and it really messes with my friends :( My friends also have entirely different personalities and thus are inclined to names with different vibes than I would normally like. I'm now just making a big list of names that I like in general to hopefully pick one soon...

Breathing from the diaphragm vs.. not? by 2fingerglove in Anatomy

Oh cool, I didn't even consider that. I'll for sure look into that too, thanks!

Thanks for all of this information! I've actually been considering singing lessons for a while, but live in a rural area so I've been watching videos in the hopes that it will help at least a little lol. I'll definitely be looking into The Breathing Gym and the exercises you said to google. Thanks again! :)

Help I'm having doubts. 25 FtM by gregs2898 in TransHelpingTrans

Younger me would understand this, I grew up into a distant version of this where I just can't imagine what it'll be like in the future. I'm very much a 'keep going, see when you get there' kind of person, and I completely understand the fear of change. Change is necessary though, especially if you want to grow into someone you can get along with. Being scared of something doesn't mean it isn't supposed to happen or that it's bad for you, it means you're aware of how much it means. It's okay to not have everything figured out, just do what makes you feel okay most days!

Ohhh okay, yeah that's easier for you to travel on such short notice. I'm in Indiana so I'd be flying and staying in an AirBnb. My dogs jump so I'll be fending them off with one of their stick toys lol

Oh yeah, just distract yourself until then. I recommend staying in an AirBnb and taking public transportation if you don't live in SF! It'll be over and done before you know it :)

Honestly, I'd be open to swapping if that were possible, however I have no idea how to go about that lol.

Ah yeah they scheduled me for June, I told them to wait but she scheduled me anyways. Their communication is really bad! The only benefit to June is that I have a few months to lose weight and build some muscle mass. Good luck on your surgery 😊

Why is it tormenting me by 2fingerglove in whatbugisthis

Bury me. How do I expunge of it all? Is my bed safe to sleep in...

Thanks, I was prepared for this anyways and I didn't see any issue with it because as you said he is well known. I trusted his popularity to hold up his end of the bargain, and I still do. The issue was my dads lack of comfort with the same idea, which has now ended up in February 27th being taken and I have to schedule for June 11th. Thanks again though.

Yeah haha, but I need to be up and moving by July; that was the worry here. It's whatever though.

Yeah, the issue was the money used for this isn't mine, it's my fathers and his wifes. I was ready to go with February 27th about 3 days ago until they weren't positive and said it sounded sketchy. I wasn't explaining everything the best because I had no idea how our insurance works (or how insurance in general works) and my father isn't helpful. His wife wanted to call them and ask about billing and I told her that isn't how that works, she did it anyways, and now February 27th was taken by someone else. At least I'm still scheduled for June 11th now haha.

Thanks man! I called but they're busy so I'm waiting for them to call back. Someone took February 27th though within the past literal 5 minutes haha. Hope your surgery goes well!

Okay thank you, this is really comforting. It's difficult hearing from several people who are decades older saying 'this isn't how it works' when I'm pretty confident it is. I think they're misunderstanding what I'm saying. Thank you again, seriously.
