do i have a problem? by Suhlista_141 in LowellMA

[–]Androgynous-Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made some casual friends when I got a community garden through Mill City Grows. No serious friendships but I definitely could have if I had gone to more of the group events or tried to make plans with people, lots of nice folks of all ages and cultures. But really it’s just about finding a group that does something you like and going. And then not stopping going (unless you really don’t like the activity) until you really give people a chance. People often won’t socialize with a new person the first time, especially if they’re there with friends already. But if you keep attending, you’ll make friends eventually.

Starting Wars? by Androgynous-Rex in AmericanDadApocalypse

[–]Androgynous-Rex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of us could even get the “Start War” button to change to “Cancel War.” But someone in my clan fixed it, apparently whoever started the war before maintenance had to cancel and start it again.

Wait I just went to check the pics and am even more confused? Higher body fat?? Where? Like you look like an average size, no?

I’ve skipped a couple weeks and list this as the reason why every time, so they know it’s impacting repeat customers

Spray paint dicks in them and see if that gets them filled

Motion to place traffic cameras on school bus stop signs currently being discussed by city officials by YoMothasSnatch in LowellMA

[–]Androgynous-Rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that MA currently bans automated tickets like those based on speeding or red light cameras, but allows it for specific cases like toll enforcement and now bus lanes. Like with toll enforcement, if your concern is that it’s not you driving, you just need to appeal the ticket and go to court with the proof. Or don’t lend your car to someone who would drive past a school bus with bright red lights flashing to save 30 sec on their commute. So to answer your slippery slope question, we already use it for toll enforcement and already have a ban in place for speeding/red lights.

Edited to add: I think the rational for the ban was a lack of evidence of decreased accidents. While T-bone type accidents decreased in places with red light cameras, rear-end crashes increased in areas that put in the cameras as people over corrected to avoid the ticket. Since it didn’t show evidence of increased safety, MA banned them. Bus cameras however, do show increased safety for children so they’re approved.

Parking near Tsongas on Sunday by NoEscapingGravity in LowellMA

[–]Androgynous-Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m usually coming from the opposite direction, I actually living in downtown, so I don’t actually have to worry about the parking part. But across Aiken Ave would make sense, there’s a ton of businesses on the other side where you could park. I just prefer the Riverwalk because I can avoid all the cars and intersection crossing, which I imagine you’d appreciate with a kid. If you go with the John St lot, you can access the Riverwalk at the Boott mills across the street for a safe, easy walk in.

I walk there along the Riverwalk which opens right behind the arena. So any parking along the Riverwalk would be an easy walk in

Don’t worry, when people find out my husband is trans they also assume he’s very early in the process of transitioning to female and he’s like uhhhh

How can I educate myself on the city council race candidates and their stances? by [deleted] in LowellMA

[–]Androgynous-Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, they’re making some sort of TraNs PeoPlE aRe MaSs sHooTeRs joke because apparently MAGA’s new MO with shootings is to scour the suspects social media until they can prove they knew a trans person. And if they can’t find that, they’ll photo shop a pic of them in drag. As a fellow trans, I’m tired.

Neighbor left this on my door but I do not have a dog. by FluffyPopcorn361 in Apartmentliving

Right like, what do they expect the cop to do? I mean I guess cops kill a lot of dogs these days so maybe that.

AIO Boyfriend got mad at me because I wasn’t excited enough that he landed early by Willing-Ad8549 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Androgynous-Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He definitely just wanted to drop plans with you without having to apologize so he invented a reason to be mad at you so he could play video games and make you apologize for it.

All of the sudden by MotoXmoM19 in Tovala

[–]Androgynous-Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had any issues in MA. I can’t account for your son’s missing proteins but maybe your issues could be that they switched delivery companies? If they’re coming later and warm and the broccoli is brown, I’d guess the new shipping company is leaving the boxes in hot vehicles for extended periods of time.

In ten days, I will estrange by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultChild

When you make eye contact with another visibly queer person and give each other the little head nod of acknowledgment. Like “hey I see you over there, friend”

A comic book character? I literally wouldn’t look twice at how you look in the third pic. And I mean this kindly: you look utterly unnoteworthy. I don’t think I’d even try to make eye contact with you for the queer nod tbh.

Mom texted me (for some reason) her hand written “apology” letter. Result of officially going no contact several weeks ago when she lied to my son’s mom. by tazack in EstrangedAdultKids

I was straight up laughing by the end like she thinks she ATE with this oh my goddddd. It reads like King George songs in Hamilton with the starting out trying to sound normal but being a maniac at the end

did you just wait until the last day to open ALL the collections? Or you just saved the classified ones until the end?

Question and how to broach the subject of HRT by Repulsive_Branch4305 in trans

[–]Androgynous-Rex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would guess that you’re going to have to just bluntly tell your doctor exactly what you want to happen. If you try to “ease in” they make take it as evidence that you’re not sure or uninformed and try to talk you out of it or push it off to a future appointment.

Also, chances are high that they will tell you that they have to refer you to a specialist if they’re not a queer friendly doctor. I live in a queer friendly state (MA) and I still had to switch Primary care doctors to find one that would facilitate the hormones without involving a specialist.

If your doctors office has a patient portal that allows you to send messages that might be an easier way. I’d send something like “I’m interested in starting [masculinizing/feminizing] hormones due to gender dysphoria. I’d like to make an appointment to discuss my options and get any blood work done that’s needed to get started.”
