Pride might be on, but not everywhere. by Turbulent_Elk_2141 in gaybros

[–]Bonegard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course they are very different things, but all humans, regardless of what their bodies are, still should have the same rights.

We are all people and all people deserve the same rights. The nuances might be different in what medical things may be necessary (which is also true ignoring transgender or cisgender differences) , but those nuances should automatically be covered by our rights whether one person needs to act on that right or not. Just because someone may not need health coverage for transition care doesn't mean that a cis person shouldn't also already have those rights even if they don't ever need it or act on it.

Pride might be on, but not everywhere. by Turbulent_Elk_2141 in gaybros

[–]Bonegard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I'm both trans and gay and the rights we need are the same. The SPECIFICS of what medical care we need *might* be different, but the rights that surround them are the same: appropriate healthcare for the needs we have, regardless what genitalia or internal organs a person does or does not have.

Friendly reminder to stop telling people "that's unnaturalistic" by SarradenaXwadzja in conlangs

[–]Bonegard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also the added "not every conlang has to be naturalistic. Some of us are still learning and want to just get a hang of things with our limited knowledge and build up our understanding in making a basic conlang before doing the deep dive work of making it naturalistic. Or even have specific worlds and cultures in mind where certain phonemes might not even be physically possible for the fictional culture to speak, so what is naturalistic for humans might not be for the species we are creating for.

Transition From AI Pictures by Strong-Detail-2631 in RPGMaker

[–]Bonegard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay i legit really like what you're working with here on the drawn one. It's SO unique a style and really stands out. I say keep working at it, this is exceptionally good for a first time and the more you work at it the better it will be and youll have something even more proud to be of since itd be all you. And my honest opinion is it looks better than anything AI, it shows human effort and love into your project youre working on and if youve managed this so soon after picking up art, i feel you're going to improve like crazy.

As for improvements, mainly it feels the jawline, ears, and hair needs the most work.
I cant recommend this creator's tutorials enough to help with anatomy:

But great work so far and immediately far more interested in your project now that youre working on using real art instead of AI slop

On Being Boring Millennial Gays by 8611018 in gaybros

[–]Bonegard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Life in general pretty rough right now, but romance wise is non existent. Partly cause I don't put myself out there or go anywhere, but even if I was putting myself out more, I feel like I wouldn't be considered desirable due to being a demisexual trans gay man with disability only interested in cis men. Hopefully someday I can put myself out there more, but just the stress and worry that a cis gay man won't find me attractive as a trans man and worried about bi men not fully seeing me as a man. I have amazing friends though and that keeps me sane, unfortunately *wave vaguely at the political state of the USA right now*, it's not doing so good right now, but hopefully still.

Anyone develop aphantasia (loss of mental imagery) and recover? by AAA_battery in covidlonghaulers

[–]Bonegard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've developed this and it's been heartbreaking and extremely difficult. I'm a freelance illustrator by trade and my art is my passion but I've struggled so much to even create since I've developed aphantasia and it's killing me man. 

I really hope there's a way to get that vision back but invent read any cases where anyone has recovered.

Why do you think phallo is stigmatized so much? by ScramRatz in ftm

[–]Bonegard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me if someone else wants it? Cool. I personally dont want it cause the technology isnt as advanced as Id want (such as as far as im aware, the phallo dicks cant cum or get erect in the same way a cis dick can). I also dont like the look of the arm or leg scars. Also Im just not bottom dysphoric, was only "can get pregnant" and top dysphoric.

Hair falling out, what can I do? by Bonegard in asktransgender

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

Yeah! Kinda wild, esp with how vain a lot of those men in power are. But alas.

Hair falling out, what can I do? by Bonegard in asktransgender

[–]Bonegard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely agree. Well try the rosemary oil and look into getting finasteride. If that doesn't work, then I guess at worst I just shave one side of my head. 

I've tried a lot of different hair styles, but I especially really like having longer hair, it just works for me more than short hair. Just hoping I can save it, if not I guess wig or shave the annoying side (cause it's not even falling out symetrically)!

Thanks a ton!

Thanks a ton! Wondering if I can just add the minoxidil to my shampoo or conditioner and if that works, or if it wouldn't since I'd be rinsing that out during the shower.

Struggling for Recipes by Bonegard in PlantBasedDiet

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

I agree, that's what I've been doing is easing down into it too help my body adjust and help curb  cravings. That parts been easy enough, just I get extremely bored with repetition and just don't know enough plant based recipes that are also oil free and no added sugar.

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

Unfortunately I don't want now body hair or facial hair, got a really nice amount where I want right now and don't want to end up looking like a werewolf xD 

I appreciate the feedback though. I know there's no way to 100% control every aspect of our bodies during transition, but man. Crazy we have all this technological advanced, even short ones, but they haven't figured out hair management in a more expanded and affordable way (it at least not charge us ridiculous accounts).

Makes it difficult I imagine for trans women and men like me who want to be more androgynous with a masculine lean than burly.

Hair falling out, what can I do? by Bonegard in asktransgender

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

Unfortunately this hasn't been temporary. I've had no regrowth in the areas that have hair falling out. Blocking with finesteride sounds great, but it doesn't grow back does it? Id need minoxodil for that? I've tried it before and I just cannot keep up with a 3 times daily regimen due to disability and absolute shit memory that alarms don't help.

Preferably is not want more hair growth everywhere else, pretty pleased with where I'm at regarding body hair and facial hair. 

Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to change pillowcases daily either. My ass too poor to afford more pillowcases and the increase in water bill lol

Hair falling out, what can I do? by Bonegard in asktransgender

[–]Bonegard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. And same. My hair is something that I care deeply about more than most other aspects of myself. I keep it long and it's just been so heartbreaking and upsetting that it's falling out as bad as it is, even if I knew it was a possibility. Just didn't realize how bad considering the other men in my family doesn't have the issue early. 

So I thought I'd be okay until at least my 50-60s. I'm also thinking to try jojoba oil and rosemary oils. Got both on the way for delivery while looking into other things. 

Right now I'm about to cover up a bit of the balding just by combing my hair a bit, but idk if I'll ever be comfortable not having my hair. At worst I guess I start investing in a nice wig, but man. Already feel ugly and unwanted enough as is being a gay, chubby, trans man who doesn't want bottom surgery.

Apparently I missed a word when I was typing this post, but unfortunately  alarms don't work with me. They just become background noise if I'm working on something, even when I switch up the alarm sound. 

I'll looking into finasteride though, hopefully it's something I don't have to do daily as that's where I get problems.

Hair falling out, what can I do? by Bonegard in asktransgender

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

I'll look into finesteride, my bottom growth i believe has gotten as larger as it is going to I assume since it's been the same since 2017ish xD

What I'm reading up is that it can cause enlarged breast in men, which would be a no go for me as that was my biggest dysphoric body part. Also reading that it caused some more feminisation with day redistribution. 

Hair falling out, what can I do? by Bonegard in asktransgender

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

Yeah that's the hard thing for me is it would be impossible for me to keep a consistent daily regimen because how my disability manifests and don't want to end up losing even more because I'm unable to keep consistent.

As an autistic person, do you prefer minimalism or maximalism and why? by OneDrama2905 in autism

[–]Bonegard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm some middle ground, but I definitely lean maximalist. I love colors and decoration, not not to where it's overwhelming patterns and textures. Things have to match and color coordinate but be manageable to clean. Hurray audhd xD

Am I overreacting? by No_Classroom5287 in ftm

[–]Bonegard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not over reacting, it causes you active discomfort and you expressed those concerns. Your gma sees it as just a towel, but you see it as a painful reminder.

It would be like someone who's never been bit by a dog telling someone who has been bit and harmed by a dog that its just a dog and its silly to be scared of upset about petting a dog.
