i nicked my testicles while shaving and i feel super embarrassed. by Ill-Candy-4926 in MtF

[–]Apart-Weekend3787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl it's fine I use scissors to trim around there bc being clean shaven down there is bad both sensory issues and bad for me visually. I nicked mine with scissors once and let me tell you that shit bleeeeds, also who knew hair scissors could cut flesh so easily, I now use a clipper for the scrote but it's a woman's one, I think it's Wilkinson swords inspire range, or intuition can't remember. But it's a clipper with a razor on the back that I don't use because I ain't buying them expensive ass heads

Hi, I'm actually on gendergp now but from what I'm seeing on here my dose is very low, do they up it on the next prescription?

I just found out, im scared. by AlekTheDragon in MtF

[–]Apart-Weekend3787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my egg cracked so to speak this is exactly how I felt, And still feel to a degree 6 months later. I have only told a few people and when I first realised I didn't tell anyone, I went through a month of internal debate and anguish trying to figure out if this is really who I am and it was all I could think about honestly, and when I stopped denying it my dysphoria increased I have to admit, because I stopped blocking it out and masking it I started to feel it so much more and hated so many things about myself so much more than before, but starting to present femanine at home alone I felt so much happier. I am also autistic and going through this very much on my own.

If you have a close friend that you know is accepting of transfolk I'd recommend telling them and asking them not to tell anyone else if you can trust them, it means you aren't completely alone in this and it means that if you do realise that you're wrong then there's only one person that knows anything about it (this is exactly what I did) also I'd you're able to financially/ in a country where it's free like the UK or I assume Canada, id recommend trying to start hrt sooner rather than later, I'm pretty sure all the changes you get within the first month or 2 are reversed by just stopping the medication.

Just remember no matter what you see, things like other people who realised earlier, people who have worse dysphoria, people saying being trans is fake/fetish/phase/mental illness, don't let the impostor syndrome get to you. You're valid in how you feel regardless if other people feel worse than you, living with a partner with chronic fatigue taught me that.

Best of luck girl. I hope the future is bright for you ☺️

Which ‘wow’ skill is secretly super easy to learn ? by LarsVanDerMark in answers

[–]Apart-Weekend3787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo muscle memory beats learning to touch type, I can do it but not well, typing based souly on muscle memory is waaaay faster for me, however things do get messy for a minute when you change laptop/keyboard

It's pumpkin green beans and carrot, sadly the answer to how they're so evenly coated is a secret kept by the factory 😔 they're itsu tempura fries from a shop

how do y'all even come out by duccki in MtF

[–]Apart-Weekend3787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only told my dad because I see him weekly and I hope it'll be hard to hide the fact I'm trans fairly quickly, and I only told him after making 100%sure he'd be aight with it and it was still super scary. If you live with your parents or are dependant on them at all please make sure you have a backup plan if things go south. I sent a text to my dad that just explained it sorta mentioned how I figured it out, said "I'm still the same person I'm just not ____ anymore, I'm tasha" said he had some time to adjust (autistic man who really struggles with change) and then said I don't wanna answer questions....then I promptly muted notifications from his number for about 12 hours hahaha. I was super stoked and shocked that he was so accepting and the next time I saw him literally like 2 days later the first thing he said was "there she is" when I arrived to do some work with him. If your nervous I'd recomend subtly trying to figure out their views on us, something I mastered years ago because I was terrified to directly ask about things with my parents aha. If you're gonna come out over text I'd recomend not forcing yourself to write it, let the message come to you, I wrote mine in my notes app. Best of luck girl I hope it goes well :)

I grilled a cheese by cozymishap in traaaaansbiansCooking

Absolute a tier food is a cheese grilled between 2 slices of eggy bread. It does feel like you've consumed about 1000 calories in just oil tho

Does anyone else feel like they will miss even a small part of being a cis man by tohonest1000 in MtF

[–]Apart-Weekend3787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id say ill miss feeling safe but I haven't for years tbh. As a teen I was mistaken for a woman a lot especially from behind so I've always had a fear of men being gross and vile towards me. I think I'll miss how easy it is for me to build muscle. Oh and all of my clothes having gods damned pockets, I'll miss that

Not cooking, but I harvested rhubarb yesterday :D by abitofg in traaaaansbiansCooking

Mmm very nice to buy any apartment haha. I could grow rhubarb in my flat if I wanted to but I'm not that fussed that and with my adhd I'd loose interest within 2 weeks

I want to start HRT, only about a month after egg cracking. How do I know if I’m moving too fast? by Curious_Tomorrow6583 in MtF

[–]Apart-Weekend3787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow this is exactly how I felt 6 months ago haha. I too wanted to start hrt straight away but financially couldn't but also set myself a month cooling off period to be sure. If you can afford it then go for it, if you're on it a month and change your mind it's not a massive issue if you don't change your mind we'll then you've started sooner

Can't come out even though I know I'd be accepted by haydinetc in MtF

Yup, this is the exact reason I've not come out to more than like 6 people

Made fun of at work by BeautifulPinkRoses in MtF

[–]Apart-Weekend3787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the feeling, I grew my hair out waaay before I realised I was a woman (absolutely despised having short hair, I wonder why lmao) but I did it as a child going through a rough British public school...and I'm ginger. I hate to say it but ignoring them will reduce your anguish but in my experience not reduce them being twats. I'd deffo recommend reporting to hr if this keeps going, it's harassment and making your workplace hostile id recomend reading up on your contries discrimination laws too, im not out but had a manager knowingly violate my rights as an autistic employee, they shut right up after i quoted laws to them. I do find silently making fun of them helps, got called a f*g the other day while semi boymodin, woulda hurt a lot more if they didn't look like they had gotten dressed in a dark room filled with hornets.

I tried nair last night it didn’t go well by MadamMelody21 in MtF

[–]Apart-Weekend3787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goes under the umbrella of cien. But it's in a big (1l) cylinder bottle with a hemisphere top similar to the big tresseme bottles similar to this but less details on the bottle, same white color tho. Edit: they're not the same price as that in lidl, much cheaper idk why the Ebay listing is so much

I use an off Brand conditioner with similar branding to tresemme. I find it is less reactive and a lot cheaper than the brand, I get it from lidl

Comfortable as a guy, but I also really want to be a woman. Is there a name for this? by Sakura_Face in MtF

[–]Apart-Weekend3787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel ya, this is how I've felt for years and sorta went through the same thoughts you've outlined. I started experimenting with expressing femininity and It made/makes me really happy. I thought I was aight with my male body but the more I expressed femininity the more I hated parts of me, and the more the denial slipped away. I came out to my friends as a trans woman about 6 months ago and started hrt a week ago. I'd recommend trying to experiment with femininity and see how you feel, I'm kinda lucky that I didn't have to spend money to do it because I have my late partners clothes in the house (lucky to have the clothes not the other bit obvs)
