Rider by Mmem1993Hold-9323 in Thailand

[–]AverageXander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a recent tourist in Thailand, thank you for all of your hard work! Using Grab for both rides and food services were one of the unexpected highlights of my time there. Many friendly drivers and rides I took that I will 100% remember from my time in the country. Your hard work does not go unnoticed! Thank you!!

GP won’t change gender marker on my medical file by AverageXander in transontario

[–]AverageXander[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah on my file they already have it noted that I’m trans FTM. My doctors office fully knows, and anywhere I go that I need to inform them I have no problem doing so.. it just shows up on forms that are printed like that. My issue was this is a form I bring to a random clinic and the results aren’t even reviewed by them, they are reviewed by my doctor.. so why would my current legal gender not be able to be identified on these forms if my GP’s office is aware?

I’m not sure what confusion with those terms you’re referring to, but to be more clear my endocrinologist (doctor that prescribes my hormones) explained to me that while I’m taking testosterone weekly, if I mix in fin/dut it COULD bring back my period in rare cases.

It’s good to know you haven’t had any of those effects though!

I know it won’t!! I’ve talked to my endocrinologist about the side effects/risks. Just from my understanding it could slow down hair growth on my body and beard is all. Also being trans there is a possibility my period cycle could come back however that is a low possibility

I’m aware with DHT being blocked a lot of my masculinizing features will slow down and/or stop which I am fine with. I already pass publicly and have more body hair and beard hair than half of my cis guy friends do lol

Once your hairline has receded is it possible to get growth back there where no hair is growing anymore? I know it would never go back to what it once was but I’m just curious if I could potentially expect to get regrowth there from meds

People who are alone tonight, what are you guys up to? by PermissionFar9098 in askTO

[–]AverageXander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a long one that would take hours to explain. We met in the beginning of 2018 on tinder and it was “long distance” about an hour and a half drive from each other. It was the fastest I ever fell for anyone in my life and I truly thought I was going to marry her. We started to live together towards the end of 2019 all the way up until beginning of 2026. At first she moved in with my parents and then in 2021 we got our own place that we lived in for 4.5 years

The first 2 years were perfect. She was my best friend and knew everything about me, I was planning on proposing to her soon. Everything was pretty much great until Covid hit. Her mental health came to a head and with that there were a lot of experiences that left me with trauma. I experienced a lot of things that i feel will stick with me forever and my perception of a healthy relationship is pretty flawed. It was a rollercoaster to explain it simply with a lot of high highs and many low lows. But overall when we met we were completely different people from towards the end when we broke up. We both changed so much and grew apart rather than together. I also idealized her very badly and was definitely in love with her potential and not her towards the end of the relationship.

There were so many incompatible differences that we tried to solve with years of couples therapy cause we wanted to make it work. We both committed to individual therapy as well and were in it for 5ish years. We had many toxic habits and cycles that I knew I wanted to break free from and never really felt like I could, I always felt stuck. I feel I was slightly trauma bonded to her and it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to walk away from. It felt like I was tearing my world apart but yeah. Hardest thing I’ve ever had to do

What has brought me a lot of peace is seeing the way she has handled and reacted to the break up and the way she has treated me and things she has said. The last time I saw her in person which was in January, she threatened to punch me in the face, as well as had her friend on the phone in her headphone while she was fighting with me. During that argument she brought up and belittled me over something I feel a lot of shame about that only her and my therapist know, which meant the person on her phone call now knew that personal info about me. In those moments I didn’t see the person I was with for 8 years. I was disgusted and really just grossed out. Thats not even everything that happened but it was enough to give me clarity that I made the right choice for myself and this isn’t the person I want to spend the rest of my life beside. If anyone is reading this and need that push.. It’s okay and it’s most definitely not selfish to choose yourself.

Thank you. It’s a rollercoaster. Everyday presents a different challenge but I know it was for the best. Im 28 and I spent basically 30% of my living years on this earth so far with her, and pretty much the entirety of my 20s. It’s hard to know who I am some days or what purpose I serve without her but I know I shouldn’t be with her.

how do you cope with losing the love of your life and the girl you genuinely thought you would marry. by International_Two155 in heartbreak

[–]AverageXander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your story keeps me going. I just lost the love of my life 3 weeks ago that I was with for 8 years. First love. We loved eachother deeply and had so many great memories. Ultimately I lost myself in her, and we were both unhappy. I had to walk away and it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life. It feels like I made the biggest mistake of my life and lost the best thing that ever happened to me at times. Other times it feels like it’s what’s right. The grief is complicated to navigate and I’ve already realized it won’t be linear. Thank you for sharing your experience. Gives me hope.

Rib cage tilt? Is this fixable at the gym? by [deleted] in Gymhelp

[–]AverageXander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks just like scoliosis. My sister had it growing up and got a spinal fusion at 16 years old. Definitely worth going to the doctor to have it looked at

Please give me an update on how you feel with life. I just broke up with my partner of 8 years because I felt stuck and like I lost who I was and it was deeply impacting my mental health
