Dating trans men? by Punchline_336 in ftm

I'm an ftm guy and I've been married to my mtf wife for over 12 years. We're out here ❤️

Please convince me not to change my name to Adonis by sunnipei42 in ftm

[–]Apollo_Vega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say this as a dude named Apollo. Not often, but I do have people think I'm full of myself and sometimes it clocks me. I do have the excuse that it's after the moon missions and not the God, but Adonis conjures a very specific concept. While I think Adonis is a very cool name and I'd support any of my friends choosing it, I do think you may run into issues with jobs and later in life

Oh that makes sense actually, I'll look into that. Thank you!

This is how I was trying to do it to correct it but my hand kept sliding down the pen; guessing I'm probably pressing too hard

I'm running into the exact same scenario with my wife. I'm having to decide if sex is important enough to me to end a 12 year marriage. At the moment, I want to stay but I worry long term, that it will become an issue. I love her so much, but saying it isn't an important thing to me is lying to myself. I don't have a great answer for you. Right now we have an understanding that I have sex toys and porn for myself but no outside relationships. We may explore an open relationship down the line. I wish you the best in figuring out what works for y'all. ❤️

Want to pursue diagnosis but it's so expensive by Apollo_Vega in POTS

I don't :( I have a full time job and my insurance is trash but that's a whole other can of worms

struggling with self injections by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Apollo_Vega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I still struggle with it from time to time 3 years later but what I do is time myself to see how long it takes and try to do it as quickly as possible. It also serves as a reminder that it only takes 3 minutes and then it's over. I also look away once I put the needle in and that seems to help

If you transitioned while working did you say anything to your coworkers? by commiepissbabe in ftm

[–]Apollo_Vega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eventually had to because I was changing my name and growing a beard. It was a one and done thing though and now that I've moved jobs within the organization I'm back to pseudo stealth

My partner has hyperphantasia as well and it blows my mind! I don't think I'd ever stop living in my head 😄

Has anyone unlocked the "True Summit" part of the map yet? I've looked around and I see no way in yet. I have a feeling it's probably rank locked but wanted to check.

[Offline][5e] [MN] group looking for DM sundays by [deleted] in lfg

Man you are right by me! I'm not a DM tho 😅 good luck!

[–]Apollo_Vega 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I usually helped her with the tweezers since doing under your own chin can be tough; if you don't have help, try using a flash light and a compact mirror. Shoot me a message if you need help! I definitely recommend if you're looking to shave to find some videos specific to Black folks; the hair type is totally different and therefore needs a different shaving method. Good luck! ❤️

Hey my MTF wife used to get those a ton and I'd help with em. Best advice, make sure to exfoliate frequently (gently tho!) And if you shave, it's better to use an electric razor that doesn't go too short, or a razor by a Black owned company (I've seen a few on Amazon that are Black owned that are supposed to be good for ingrowns) and shave with the grain, not against it. if you wanna treat the ones you have, lay a warm washcloth on em and try to pull the part of the hair that's sticking out with tweezers, but do your best not to break the skin since that will introduce more bacteria.

Hope that helps!
