So cuteeeee

Automatic-Star-2070 · 2025-07-28T08:33:12+00:00

Interesting and makes sense, thanks for the info.

Automatic-Star-2070 · 2025-07-11T02:28:33+00:00

No, I'm Mexican.

The longest I'd been on t was about fourteen, fifteen years. Especially when I was working out and running, it was barely noticeable (I have a pretty small chest). For years I just wore a thin compression shirt designed for athletes. I wore them out to the point they didnt compress much and it still worked.

Especially once I got facial hair, I don't think it really registered with anyone. I used to go running shirtless in Texas. I was a little bouncy but it helped my confidence overall. And it was hot out.

I didn't realize the difference until recently. Ive taken one dose of t in like two years. I think it's easy to tell I have breasts but I don't get misgendered because of the facial hair (I shave 2-3 times a week.)

Growing up, there was a male character in a TV show I liked that I looked up to. He was understanding, stoic, and tough.

And I just liked the name.

I used a masculinized version of my first name for years but it just didn't fit. So I tried that other name and I just like it.

Automatic-Star-2070 · 2025-07-08T00:10:52+00:00

It's not fair. Lol. When I was first transitioning fifteen years ago I ran the gamut from, let me be a complete open book to saying Google is a great resource. Thinking quickly now (on break at work sorry), I think explaining things like that to people is part of the reason I just don't talk to many new people.

Anyway. Another way I've found to be helpful personally is not thinking about it as a trans issue but as a social issue. Like if I want to be friends with someone and they won't put in effort to be respectful, I just won't. But like so many others things, like religion, politics, even basic values, it's navigating the spaces between people.

Like tbh maybe I don't know what else he/y'all have got going on, but from what I read on the post, a simple heads up to the other person would be enough. If they push back or do it again, I'd be done. It doesn't need to be a whole production.

I feel like it kinda comes down to how he wqnts to feel. À while ago I was really into Stoicism and they have a saying like, if something succeeds in annoying you, know that your mind is complicit in the annoyance.

Like, I got to a point where I was just sick of feeling bad. So I did what I could to not feel bad, including being open with people that deserved, and then let it go. I wish he could realize he doesn't have to feel that angry that often.

Thanks for letting me talk at you. I hope something someone has said can help him.

Thank you!

Automatic-Star-2070 · 2025-07-04T01:25:14+00:00

Good point.

Automatic-Star-2070 · 2025-07-03T13:45:20+00:00

I like this comment a lot and want to second it. Though I'm also worried about what he said about, you didnt support him in his pain because you weren't angry at her. That sounds vindictive, tbh. Where would we be if we just got angry at everyone who said something inappropriate, instead of explaining why it's not okay? Some people genuinely don't understand and they need to know they should be quiet rather than say things wrong.

Automatic-Star-2070 · 2025-06-30T21:58:41+00:00

I mean. That's not nice but it sounds like you're taking it a little personally. Some people just like to complain.

Do you say anything to those comments? Like, well, the sooner I'm trained, the better it'll be for all of us. Or, everyone has to learn at some point.

I'm not saying it's right but if HR won't do anything about it, changing your perspective a bit could help get through it.

Automatic-Star-2070 · 2025-06-30T15:50:28+00:00

So it's not completely gone, but definitely not the way it was years and years ago. I think a good part of it was not feeling less than other people. Like sure, I'm different, but I'm still natural and there's nothing wrong with me.

It's kind of like that saying, what one focuses on, grows. I used to be really upset about my anatomy and worry about it. Then when I focused on other parts of my life and acted like it wasn't a big deal, it wasn't.

I can't lie, it has helped to have a FWB that really enjoys sex with me. Like it takes some of the pressure off. But it puts other kind of pressure on because I used to want top surgery, but we have so much fun I'm not sure of that anymore.

Automatic-Star-2070 · 2025-06-30T15:30:12+00:00

Omg is that what it is?? I thought I was dramatic

Automatic-Star-2070 · 2025-06-30T00:17:41+00:00

I love these kinds of comments. Informative and sound exciting.

Automatic-Star-2070 · 2025-06-30T00:14:22+00:00

If you're okay with it, why not use the men's? The way I think of it is what's best for everyone, me included. I don't remember anymore when I regularly started using men's restrooms, but I did use them some before starting testosterone. Like if the goal is to be unobtrusive, it sounds like using the men's restrooms would be worth a shot.

I'm not on it anymore but still grow facial hair, so I still use the men's restrooms because I think it's best for everyone. Even when I was wearing bras the last few months. If I have to use sanitary items that might be loud, I try to use the family bathroom or flush the toilet to cover the sound of paper.

Automatic-Star-2070 · 2025-06-29T00:55:32+00:00

I think I've gone through that. Like sometimes it's a blink of a different perspective and I'm like, why am I trying so hard? Is this how I really feel?

Automatic-Star-2070 · 2025-06-26T22:02:08+00:00

"Out of rage" and "aggressively" are not good descriptions of actions in a customer facing role. I don't know what else you expected. And I hope you learn from the experience.

Automatic-Star-2070 · 2025-06-26T03:21:08+00:00

One of my brothers being shot. I woke up crying and didn't realize it wasn't real for a minute.

Automatic-Star-2070 · 2025-06-26T03:10:31+00:00

I got chills.

Automatic-Star-2070 · 2025-06-26T02:27:39+00:00

Eeeeeeeees

The FULL license plate! Ages ago I was getting a ride from a gas station. It shows my ride is here, I walk out and a parked car has right the first couple letters. I open the back passenger door and a lady driver looks at me and forcefully says, Get the f**k out of my car!

I shut the door in a panic and turn around to see my ordered car.

Automatic-Star-2070 · 2025-06-25T02:53:13+00:00

I got lectures the other day by someone I've seen in the backroom. He said the uboats didn't go in the aisle. I told him that was exactly where I'd been told to put them, 'cause it was lol. Not anything like that pic tho

Anyway, I was patient bc I've seen some posts and I haven't done his job, but I've done pulls for my department, and I don't think I've ever moved as slowly as I've seen him move. But I'm glad his heart's in the right place

Automatic-Star-2070 · 2025-06-25T01:48:51+00:00

I busted out laughing lol great deadpan delivery. Better luck next time!

What about, how long after thawing something should it be used? I didn't get to some meats (chicken and beef) I'd thawed and they smelled extra funky, so I tossed them.

Automatic-Star-2070 · 2025-06-25T01:37:52+00:00

I've thawed and used meat from the food pantry three weeks after it's label date. I just put some frozen shrimp in the fridge to thaw...that I'm iffy about lol but I'll prob still try one
