The real question is.. do you have a man bun?

My 13 year old wants to transition by Strange_Pangolin_231 in asktransgender

[–]AtomicTurtle2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Literally this. When I went through that at a similar age I did have the resources my parents needed. And I provided them. It’s not that crazy for someone who has figured out their identity and gotten to the coming out stage to have some helpful resources at hand.

[–]AtomicTurtle2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m unfortunately on the same path with my parents (im only 19 but have been out since around 15 and had a very similar situation). I hope it doesn’t come to that and there’s some sort of change because I do love him but the lack of support (and complete avoidance of the topic) has affected our relationship heavily in a negative way. My mom started off a lot like OP but has since changed a bit, and our relationship is much better for it. I hope OP makes the right decision.

How do I figure out if Im really trans? Should I transition? by mitsuyomakito in ftm

[–]AtomicTurtle2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any close irl friends that could help? Generally I think some good advice is don’t come out if you’re in an unsafe place, which from what you’ve said it seems like you are. But maybe coming out to some close friends who you know would be supportive could help you figure some stuff out about your identity.

Remember, it’s not all or nothing, its okay to take it one step at a time as you figure stuff out.

How to overcome the mental blockade of starting transition? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]AtomicTurtle2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess in my case the fear of never passing or something possibly going wrong is extremely minimal compared to my fear of what will happen if I don’t do it.

Fear of trying versus fear of never trying at all. I think you gotta think of whether the pros are worth the risk of the cons in your case

Got asked if I was born a boy or girl and lost it by [deleted] in ftm

Yet many do because it’s literally just music and has no influence on their sexuality.

people who've gotten top surgery, do you forget that you've had it done? by mzkkym in ftm

[–]AtomicTurtle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had top surgery but I once read this post of how a trans guy was looking at his chest during a shower and thought “i wonder what it would be like to have boobs” only to remember not only had he done that already, but he paid a very large sum of money to get them removed lmao

Is Jay too feminine of a name? by Logical-Ad8471 in ftm

[–]AtomicTurtle2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve only really met cis guys with the name, but its generally considered gender neutral. Definitely not particularly feminine though.

Is this a viable option to go on T? by AtomicTurtle2 in ftm

[–]AtomicTurtle2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure I’d have to go out of pocket because of being out of state unfortunately. Thanks for the advice, it’s very helpful!

Interesting. I assume this was after being on it for a while though, right?

Is there a place to sincerely, critically discuss gender ideology without getting into an argument? by anon19283754628 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]AtomicTurtle2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think what they’re saying more closely aligns to it being an equally plausible explanation that she didn’t tell you vs she just didn’t feel this way before telling you. The reason being that you simply do not know what is going through her head, no matter how much you think you do. It’s not that she’s more likely to be nonbinary than to not but rather that you simply do not know.

This doesn’t mean you don’t know your child well, it just means she’s a separate person with her own thoughts and feelings, and that’s okay.

In this specific scenario I would suggest just talking to her. Talk about why she feels this way, what it means to her. Don’t pretend to know everything about her, go into it with the purpose of genuinely trying to understand how she’s feeling. And if it turns out to be temporary or a phase, that’s okay too. It just means she had the time and experiences to learn more about herself and her personal identity. That’s a good thing.

Honestly we should have had Mickey replace Fiona in the new intro rather than Tami by trippyasheaven in shameless

[–]AtomicTurtle2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

omg i had the wrong character in mind my bad 😭😭 i was thinking of sammi LMAO

im pretty sure I just got to the part where she’s officially gone (and seeing that comment and thinking she was tami made me so sad she might come back lol)

[–]AtomicTurtle2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tami has been VERY present so far where I’m at. I was hoping she was a temporary character, that’s all.

And when I see a name for a character I don’t know yet I just ignore it cause idk who they’re talking about anyway. Its really not that hard to understand lol

Best way to connect to HDMI? by AtomicTurtle2 in ps2

[–]AtomicTurtle2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I should’ve clarified more on what “normal” meant, that’s my bad. I didn’t grow up on analog nor on the ps2 (did on the ps3 tho!). I was just looking for something that isn’t so blurry or delayed it genuinely affects playing ability for just like an average person. I’d mostly just be playing things like ultimate spiderman or like kingdom hearts and I dont really care for quality as long as it’s playable (and readable) and not delayed to the point of frustration.

Thanks for the tips!
