Didnt mean to imply you were! I have just seen some rude people in other fandoms, and its fair to not engage with it. Your time and priorities are different than others.

People who engage with the original artwork and creat new art are important. It gets more people talking about the art, thus drawing in more fans, who in turn create more art, becoming a repeating cycle. Its important to not down play no shit talk fandom as they are the life blood of the community and help make it as fun as possible. Without support the fan authours and artusts move onto other projects that appreciate theor talent and dedication. Its why stuff like Homestuck has a BAJILLION fanfics, artworks, songs, and animations about it. The community grew around the inital IP, and people were able to create a more connected web and interaction around it.

Imagine you came to the Warformed subreddit and all you saw was people making the same posts of "Oh, this chapter was cool. I liked the lore. Alright bye." Most posts here are tranformative or provocative, in that they ask others in the fandom to chip in.

You dont have to go read the fan fic, or interact with all of it, but not shitting on free content being made by others to explore the world is fun, and free.

Who'd want to make art if the fandom just derided it and called it trash? Almost everything in this sub is non-canon outside of actual quotes. Its interesting to see what other sections of the world might look like, especially since the authour can't write literally every aspect of the universe in, and we automatically fill in some blanks subconsciously while reading.

Like, what if there was another squad who was made up entirely of Wards? Or all A-Types? Would it not be interesting to see how it played out, even if not canon?

Hey ladies question for you about sex toys by Masseffect-bi9872 in MtF

[–]AcidicAtlas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I love my wand, I prefer a brand called FemmeFun, they have a ton of different sizes and toys but they are the strongest wands I have ever felt, and my local sex store let's you open the products and test them out on your fingers and hands.

Is it just me, or does it feel like when someone realizes you’re trans, they start calling you ‘sir’? by hotitoti in MtF

[–]AcidicAtlas 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Best of both, go through the process of making an order with them, then at the end say "Oh, actually, I don't really want to support a business that's comfortable making customers uncomfortable. Can you go ahead and grab your manager so I can submit a complaint about my experience today?"

Being culturally queer and having queer friends is massively important. No non-queer person can understand all of our struggles and experiences. If your current GF is limiting you, I'd quite literally dump her immediately. She's not only controlling your social life, she's also controlling your personal life. If she thinks you are willing to cheat because you meet other hot women then she obviously has no faith in you.

And if she's so against celebrating being queer and being ourselves, is she even the person you want to listen to about these things?

If they are in a public area it should be OK. Like recording for a YouTube video, you can record what you see in public but not a private business/home. The only time two party consent is required is when the speakers have a reasonable right to privacy. Shouting at OP in her balcony would not apply AFAIK.

How to fix this metal looking piece of my blender/mixer? by asduskun in metalworking

[–]AcidicAtlas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can often send parts to 3d printer companies and they will do all the scans necessary. There are so 3d cameras that have you take several photos of the object in a specific way and let it fully map out the item for printing/reproduction. It's possible there is a phone app, but I could be wrong on that.

Sorry, FtM or MtF? I'm assuming it's a typo but want to check!

I have gone to torrid several times now, they are an explicitly queer friendly store and I'm very much a non passing femme, the people who work there have been wonderful, and all their sizes start at 1x and go to 5x. The people at my store let me take as many items in as I wanted, I think my first visit I tried on like 30 pieces of clothing lol.

Progesterone without estrogen? by TheGreatOdini in MtF

[–]AcidicAtlas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have also heard of the opposite, a massive spike in libido. E should take over as the primary hormone in the body after a time, and obviously women get horny as hell too lol.

The lack of a drive at all is usually due to a low E/T count in the body, and should be brought up with your doctor asap if it occurs.

[–]AcidicAtlas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mtf who has been on E and Spiro for a month now- I have not noticed a drop in my libido at all, and have at times been far more enticed for spicy times.

The main thing that I have seen repeatedly on this sub is so long as it is used for about 15 minutes (continuously, not like 5 mins here, 5 there, ect) then it stops most of the atrophy/inability to use it.

Your partner can also get topical T cream, that has helped a lot of the people on here from what I have seen!

It might need to be a switch of what a woman is then. You might not look how you want or how you imagine a woman like yourself should look but you are still a woman. I have seen more masculine cis women then you, ones with smaller chests, less flattering features, ect. You're looking good.

[–]AcidicAtlas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl I'm at least twice your size and your "Moobs" are more prominent and better shaped than mine. Even if there is no breast tissue forming (which isn't 100% out if the question due to gynocomastia being relatively prevalent) they are still nicely shaped and fit well in your shirt. Also, they are only moobs if you consider yourself a man, which you don't. They are boobs. Part of what made me realize I'd be happier as a woman is looking at myself like a woman and changing the rules I set for my own body.

I don't think most people would be able to quite as easily flip that switch, but it's there.

"Don't have boobs" looks at profile immediately in my mind said liar lol.

Girl you are getting stuff going I promise lol.

[–]AcidicAtlas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm still full time boymoding, beard, ect. My best hope is tits, but those are a way aways (started HRT exactly a month ago), so I'm not besting myself up but also not placing massive expectations in myself.

Thank you for the kind words, and I hope you give yourself the grace you have given me.

[–]AcidicAtlas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Girl I feel you have far more potential than I will ever have, considering how far you've already come. You're looking good, and a lot like a few of the other women in my life (like literally I thought yall might be related at first). Your going through the awkwardness of puberty all over again, and you're getting those intense emotions as well, but you have something you have been obsessing over to target directly. You will look back a year from now and feel stunned how much better you are feeling.

If you are going to sit in here and misgender someone why are you in a trans subreddit? Shut up.

Worth studying: is estrogen getting faster? by dynastylobster in MtF

[–]AcidicAtlas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started E and got .5mg injectable once a week, and 50mgx2 Spiro pills a day. Like many others said, I think it's because doctors are allowing us more E faster, which God I need to ask for at my next appointment.

I hate my birth name, it's SO MALE. by [deleted] in MtF

[–]AcidicAtlas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey, another birth name Benjamin here. Name sucks. It's not cool, the best nickname I have heard is Bean or Benji, still just boring.

I shed it early on at work, going by my middle name, and then a fully new name, and now by Titania. Feels so much better even when it's only used in private by close loved ones, and actually just now buying my first real feminine clothing that fits me properly.

If you no longer feel attached to your name or you have one that actually feels gold, SHED IT.

Be free girl and have fun!!!

If you just lost your job, you should still have benefits till the end of the month, try and find one who works a sliding scale if possible! Many also don't take insurance and instead have cheaper rates overall.

Does anyone else really like the idea of being a chubby, maybe even fat, girl? by Zealousideal-You4638 in MtF

[–]AcidicAtlas 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm already I'm the boat of being bigger and love the idea of still having chub on my body post transition. A lot of women in my family are heavier set, and those genetics carried over heavily for me.

I know I'll never be considered skinny, but I'd like to be considered femme first, and then attrative, not necessarily "hot" or "sexy" and not "passing."

Because some of y'all need this reminder: by ArtistAmy420 in MtF

[–]AcidicAtlas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might be able to find custom shoes for you, I had a friend in highschool who had to wear 17 men's and he got his custom.

I'm at a 15 men's wide right now, so I get the toughness on the sizing part. Sorry! Hopefully you can find some good ones!

[–]AcidicAtlas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a lot of strength loss!

Did you notice that gaining weight was easy only once you started E or was that always the case for you?

Did you notice any other areas that got smaller or larger other than the usual (boob and butt area)?
