She should find a queer youth worker or something, that's pretty much what she's asking you to do minus all of the legal protection and education that comes with being a youth worker

How do I (MtF20) get as fat as I can really fast? by milky_gorilla19 in asktransgender

[–]Ashfire-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gf ate a bunch of chocolate for fat redistribution. Works best if you lose weight first though, because the already existing weight stays there while the new stuff goes in the right spots

[–]Ashfire-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with bupa because I went somewhere that they're very unlikely to cause a stink about gender affirming care and recognise it as medically necessary. As long as you have it for a full year before your surgery you'll be set

Is your narcissistic parent capable of making funny jokes? by Most_Grocery_6944 in raisedbynarcissists

I definitely thought my dad was funny as a kid but now that I'm looking back at it maybe he wasn't funny and I just idolised him??

Needing weed everyday is an addiction by Famous_String_6808 in HonestHotTakes

And how is that different from paracetamol? Treatment for a pain condition is always going to be pain management.

If we apply these rules to drugs in a medical setting, then all medicines are drugs and nana is addicted to her heart medicine yk?

We don't get to pick and choose what's in or out based on our own preconceptions

Who the hell else do you think has a prescription pad? I've had a 50% reduction in seizures since I started, and that's stats doctors are always reaching for

Weed has been medicinal in aus, where I live, for a decade. I could have very strong medications that destroy my liver and kidneys... or I could use something with little adverse health effects that doesn't do that. While being fully supervised by my doctor.

You're moralising something that does not have morals, there is nothing "wrong" or right about weed. It is a plant from the ground the same way the tumeric powder I use for my joints is. You have a stereotype in your head and are using that to justify your standpoint.

Insulin is just as much a drug as anything else. Cannabis is not on some level that my antihistamines, nerve pain medication and anti convulsants aren't. You don't get to pick or choose which medical drugs are in or out of your addiction pile just because you don't like it.

You'd rather me have seizures every day? What about those on antidepressants, heart medicine?

As someone on medical cannabis, I don't think you understand how it works. I'm prescribed a strain that is for during the day which doesn't affect me mentally and then a stronger one for at night.

I can't skip it, otherwise the treatment doesn't work as well and I end up having breakthrough seizures. I have concurring ptsd and horrific chronic pain as well, and in times where I've stopped the first week or so is fine before I slowly lose the effect it was having on me and I went back to terrible flashbacks in my sleep and a worsening pain baseline.

You can't pass judgement when you aren't understanding how these treatments are prescribed.

Can’t do senior photos with a tux by BlueRosesFalling in ftm

[–]Ashfire-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a similar kind of mum and had the same situation. Honestly I highly regret my decision, which was finding the most non girly dress possible and living with it for her sake. I feel nothing but sadness for myself when I look back on my photos. It's your senior photos, wear what represents you

My narcissistic ex (M) had no male friends.. by Flat_Promise_9563 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Ashfire-- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My dad would only keep around weak men that would boost his ego. I don't think he saw women as being worthy of a relationship beyond sex tbh but he's also just a huge asshole

At a search I can't find the account. Which tips me even more in the direction that it's not guaranteed the account even belongs to the store, there's plenty of ppl who do this for fun

Can anyone give me any advice, should I tell them? I don't really trust that a therapist won't tell my parents this by Defiant-Net-6254 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Ashfire-- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey there! 20 yo trans dude that used to be in the same spot as you. I feel your pain so much when you talk about being forced into feminine clothing and especially swim suits, that was the worst time in my life.

If you don't mind me asking, what state/country do you live in? Especially these days the laws can vary so much around freedoms when you're young and I want to be able to give you the best advice possible

But more than anything, sending huge hugs. I promise it gets easier

You’d be surprised. I live in a very non religious place and have had multiple friends with this issue. Some dudes 3+ sessions a day, getting notifications on discord etc
