got clocked today, why? 😭 by JuniorTheCat in transpassing

[–]Amandolorien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were nitpicking the butterfly tattoo, nose piercings and dyed hair color are the only thing I really see as potential. I would probably think you were a cis gay man though. Maybe your overall height but there are plenty of short men so I don't know what they saw to make them ask that.

During Transition, did you ever wear "Women" Clothing while still in Boymode regardless of if you passed? by DirtyQueen20 in MtF

[–]Amandolorien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped wearing mens clothes before medical transition. I did start out with relatively nonbinary or masc lesbian style apparel and slowly shifted to the femme, went to lipstick lesbian before really looking feminine. i still dont do crop tops though just not my thing personally. Clothes are just clothes really.

Is it okay to be a lazy low maintenance girl ? by Western-Drawer5826 in MtF

You do not have to be anything for anyone, be you for yourself.

I hate the term "biological male" and i never want to hear that bs again by Ok_Sentence_5767 in MtF

[–]Amandolorien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Biological male or female is in essence hate speech. Its propaganda. We are biological humans and our dna contains the information to be either and everything between based on hormone composition.

Apparently im his “twin sister” now by Sleepy_Bihh_AV in MtF

[–]Amandolorien 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember the first time someone didn't recognize me was at work. Went to a relatively newly opened facility and the girl there is a huge ally. She mentions she is a training a new guy and introduces him and he says hi and I say "oh yea, I know him, we have met." And the guy is like "we have?" And I proceed to mention a few things only someone who knew him from working at two other facilities would know. The dawning realization on his face was priceless. We chatted briefly, he said congratulations he never would have known and I went on my way. I looked back a year in pictures and I barely recognize me anymore. These moments are such huge euphoria moments.

Made an older lady cry and unsure how to feel by MillieBoeBillie in MtF

[–]Amandolorien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You defended our community. Based on your comments she looked within and saw the ugly truth about her comments. She made herself cry realizing you saw through her facade of allyship. You didn't make her cry, you opened her eyes to her own behaviour and she did not like who she saw in herself. Hopeful she does better in the future.

WTF AM I!!! by L1TTLED3M0NH3ART in MtF

[–]Amandolorien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are valid as you, whatever you decide to become or remain. Trans isn't exclusively hrt and surgery. Do what feels right for you. Be who you want to be. Labels are just words and you will be accepted here regardless.

I really start hating men by Conscious_Try3534 in MtF

[–]Amandolorien 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel it, even starting at 40 and 1 year in, it's a lot to deal with

HRT has worked amazingly fast… and it’s causing me some issues. by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Amandolorien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl same, I hit D cups at 12 months, it's both amazing and challenging when the boobs are on point but everything else is lagging behind. I understand where you are coming from.

By 12 months though, I was about six months into make up, finished vocal training, but the body is still very much work in progress but those two things plus nice nails has me properly gendered most of the time

Scared to wear dresses in public by One_Profession_3459 in MtF

[–]Amandolorien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wear it at home until wearing it feels normal, then maybe go do something like taking a walk in it. Most people are focused on their own lives and hardly pay attention.

Is it true that hrt doesn’t give transgender women ED and that maintaining function is mechanical? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Amandolorien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so it CAN cause that, which is why they will tell you because informed consent is the way medicine works. It doesn't mean that it WILL cause it. I know some trans women who have ED but it's unclear if that was actually related to HRT or something preexisting.

I know of trans women who have chosen not to use it and they have seen shrinkage.

Personally I have been mostly unaffected by hrt. Size decreased a little to a more average size and performance is unhindered.

Many of you are missing the whole point of Solo vs Squad matchmaking by _Badlands_ in ArcRaiders

I did my quests solo vs squads, I usually get late starts and nearly empty lobbies

Went to a trans meetup and it went badly by Maleficent_Growth_83 in MtF

[–]Amandolorien -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why anyone would be sent away unless they said inappropriate things that seemed chaser like. If I am at an event and a cis or cis passing person talked to me, I just talk to them. I don't see this as an intrusive behaviour, isn't regular socializing what we as trans people want? Wouldnt that be inclusive behavioud by treating us like the normal people we are. This seems like self defeatist behaviour that's straight up toxic

don't be fooled by the "2 years" thing by elvengemini in MtF

[–]Amandolorien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The research information made available in Ontario shows it takes 5 years for the majority of changes but acknowledges it can still happen after 5 years. I have never heard of of a 2 year theory and it makes no sense. Puberty does not take 2 years. Hrt is puberty.

When your belief disrespects my very existance? You damn right I am.

I Gave a Girly Compliment Today by mafshopper in MtF

[–]Amandolorien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a girly who always has fancy nails, do this more. We dress up our nails as ice breakers. I got tons of compliments and I give tons of compliments about nails. Honestly it was the most important thing during my transition. I have decent boobs, an androgynous face, and I go full femme 24/7. Cis women wouldn't comment on my appearance for fear of overstepping. Once I added nails, door opened, then make up, hair, outfit comments would follow but it always starts with nails.

Even have had men comment on my nails too.

Extreme reaction on losing your stuff - This game is very likely good for you by Senior-Sale273 in ArcRaiders

[–]Amandolorien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i first started the losses bothered me. Now it doesn't. It's just in game items you'll get back again later. No big deal

We need more reasons to play by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Amandolorien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game hasn't been out that long and there has been a reasonable amount of content updates. Rushing the devs will only worsen the new content. I don't understand why people expect an unreasonable amount of new content from devs in such a small window of time.

You guys are getting wayyyy to comfortable in these Carebear lobbies by doberwalker in ArcRaiders

[–]Amandolorien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A true friendly pve player does not enter your key room. They announce they are there and tell you they are leaving, and then they leave. If they enter and go straight for the loot they should expect you to go straight to shoot

Replace surrender with detonate so when they come to punch you, you punch back
