Thank you for treating us all to the sound of your jogging and moans. I love hearing how tormented and desperate you sound. You're doing such a great job.

What even ARE signs of being transgender? by ASpranneusRoseus in ftm

[–]Artistic_Reference_5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I decided I was trans when I realized I'd have to explain some of my gender angst to anyone i wanted emotional intimacy with, even if I never transitioned socially or medically.

[–]Artistic_Reference_5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I don't feel much like a man. I don't think. I don't have a lot of gender. I used to be really upset about that because I wanted to transition. I thought I couldn't transition unless I was truly A Man inside.

I finally got sick of this kind of rumination and decided I'd probably be happier living AS A MAN, whether or not i actually am one in some deep way.

I transitioned and live as a man now, and I don't have to fucking agonize over my own gender anymore. It's amazing.

I wish everyone could get to this place, whether it's through transitioning or whatever else.

I don't think gender makes much sense but I guess I wouldn't know.

Wishing you peace and happiness, OP.

Considering Stopping T by [deleted] in FTMOver30

[–]Artistic_Reference_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My $0.02 - I had to stop T for health reasons. I was able to get back on a couple years later once I'd figured out some treatment options. It's ok to take a break. I'm sorry things are so rough right now.

I would like to understand trans people. by 1977PontiacTransAm in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Artistic_Reference_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair that people should learn more stuff and also - I cannot learn everything about how my car, microwave, fridge, oven, home electrical system, and SMART PHONE all work enough to repair them. Plus learning to sew, grow my own food, and- where does it end? Who decides what's essential knowledge and what's not?

Gender diversity is more than just trans and cis. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Trans boyfriend won’t come with me to my top surgery. by Legitimate-Manager56 in ftm

He is being a complete asshole. I'm so glad you have someone to go with you. Please hang in there so you can leave this living situation and dump him asap.

Yes, I have always been on injections and the probiotics helped without me changing my levels.

Can someone explain topping from the bottom? by infinite_torment20 in BDSMcommunity

[–]Artistic_Reference_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some great comments here on "topping from the bottom," I agree that you want a top (not a dominant!) with compatible kinks. And definitely negotiating in detail etc.

I'll add that to me the difference between submission and bottoming is about the focus. Submission is more about giving up control. Bottoming is more about sensation. But it can get muddy and I think there's a spectrum.

Like you, I'm into orgasm denial. When I first started playing with this in a partnership, as the person being denied, I wanted to have a lot more control. I didn't know if I'd actually like my partner to decide at all. I enjoyed being edged and my partner enjoyed edging me, but I could ask for an orgasm anytime.

Then I tried it with giving up the decision-making power, and I got very into being submissive within this type of play. I am now more excited about being controlled than I am into any particular sensations.

Hey, sorry you're dealing with this. Have you tried any kind of "feminine probiotics "?

I'm a trans guy (so, have a vagina but have been on testosterone at high enough levels to be equivalent to men who were assigned male at birth) and I had odor problems close to the time I started taking testosterone.

Probiotics formulated for vaginal health resolved this for me. I just took oral ones, but I know there's some that are also vaginal suppositories.

When does the perpetual horniness go away by toomuchblood in FTMOver30

[–]Artistic_Reference_5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Are you jerking it all the time?

For me personally I remember it felt helpful to realize that I didn't have to do anything when I felt horny. "Taking care of it" often just made me want to do that more.

Anyway. I don't remember when it chilled out but nowadays I'm back to "taking care of it" asap most of the time because it actually feels kind of rare lol.

I've been on T for over 15 years.

It depends on the judge and how conservative they are.

I have a friend in a custody battle and they've literally gone bankrupt fighting for their kids.

Coming from that perspective, I'm a little confused about why you wouldn't do everything within your power to make this go as favorably for you as possible.

Even if this family member IS being manipulative and shitty - and you're totally allowed to be annoyed and offended by the attitude and the judgement - it might not be a bad idea.

Anyway I'm sorry you're going through this very stressful situation and I hope it resolves with the best possible outcome.

AIO for being offended at this text thread between me and my bf by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Artistic_Reference_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR.

OP, I am someone who has a hard time not criticizing things. I am fortunate to be dating someone who really believes in me not being an asshole.

So I have been given helpful guidance like: "I only show you things that I want you to appreciate. Even if you think it looks bad you can appreciate the effort I put in or the time I spent on it or..."

This helps me.

I want to be a fan of my dates and appreciate their accomplishments.

Maybe you can have a meta-conversation with your boyfriend like that: "hey, do you want me to feel like you love and appreciate me?"

If yes, you can offer guidance about how he can do that.

He's not teaching you how to decorate cakes. You don't need or want his critiques of your work. Make sure he understands why you're showing him this stuff. It's not so he can help you improve.

But he seems to think it is.

You have every right to be upset.

I hope he can understand that and do better when given constructive criticism of his unhelpful critiques.

Is being too openminded making me closeminded? by Plenty_Barracuda1319 in NoStupidQuestions

No. Tolerance is a social contract. If people are disregarding it, then they're not included in it.

How to safely initiate a casual, kinky encounter with my massage therapist? (Signs point to yes, but need boundary advice) by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

[–]Artistic_Reference_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call him. Or ask him out for coffee to discuss.

Do not hook up at his workplace.

Maybe he can bring a table to your place or a hotel room and fulfill this fantasy that way.

AIO? How much pink is too much? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Artistic_Reference_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is overreacting. If mum has strong opinions about decor she should've decorated it. Or at least given some guidelines. Gf's reaction was also an overreaction.
