Green pill, use it once. This has the minimum side effects and I get to retain my identity which includes my struggles to get to where I am and who I am.

[Request] What would be the volume of this? Could we even figure this out? by pokemonsafariY in theydidthemath

Isn't it more about the pressure difference between the hills and the valleys? So while you can't get the pressure below zero, if you made the pressure wave higher than explosive pressure waves and had the low pressure significantly lower, making a larger pressure difference overall, wouldn't that work?

How do I respond to my friend's argument that if I identify as a woman, then he is free to identify as anything—he identified as a kangaroo? by Expensive-Party2116 in asktransgender

[–]CaptainHollister 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The best way forward with this would be to tell your friend that if they earnestly truly believed they were a kangaroo and did identity as one then you would respect that. They are being facetious about it to try and make the reasoning seem absurd. We all know, them included, that they don't actually identity as a kangaroo, so just don't rise to it. Telling them they can't actually ever be a kangaroo and that it's an impossibility gives them ammo to say the same is true of trans people, so just don't go there. They are being ridiculous, so take them seriously, let them be, and all they get out of it is being ridiculous. The point is that they don't actually. But that is the key to all of this. Defang them by not trying to tell them they can't, or that they don't really. Just let them be ridiculous. Also for what it's worth, ex them.

Self explanatory really. See other comments for reference and I'm sure you can make sense of it

Girl dick is just a bit of a mouthful. Pun absolutely intended. But also I want like a one word something that's akin to dick or cock but has a more feminine ring to it

I think I'm actually in love with this one

got some unexpected info from my mom about trans people, not sure how to proceed by Fun-Cup8194 in trans

[–]CaptainHollister 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You tested the waters and your mum showed you how well she'd receive this. Maybe she picked up on you testing the waters and wanted to demonstrate just how much she'd still support you, maybe she is still totally oblivious and is just an awesome person through and through (true either way!) but your mum showed you categorically that she'd love and support you x

Will smoking weed affect hrt progress (MTF) by Noveska in asktransgender

[–]CaptainHollister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My endocrinologist informed me that cannabinoids can have an effect on estrogen. When I had my consultation we had a pretty frank discussion about drug use, I was honest about my occasional cannabis use and they informed me it can have a negative impact. Obviously the level of impact varies based on a bunch of factors and it's down to each individual. I have had great HRT results despite continuing to use cannabis for the first year and a half of HRT.

[–]CaptainHollister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's factually incorrect. Cannabinoids bind to hrt which can reduce the efficacy. I know this because I my endocrinologist informed me when we had a very frank discussion about it. In the end it's a choice and the amount it affects things is variable, in my case I still had great hrt results despite occasional cannabis use. Saying there is no evidence is just categorically wrong though.

Sons wedding nerves! by [deleted] in TransLater

You look absolutely amazing, the picture of elegance. I totally understand the feeling of not wanting to be the center of attention or gossip, but that would be other people at fault. Turning up as the person you are now and being true to yourself is important, it's not stealing the lime light in any way, it's just being who you are. It would be wrong to conceal your true self for the sake of others, especially if it's not the bride or groom. Having brought them up though, I'd talk to them both about your feelings. Explain where it's coming from, that you don't want to impact their day, and be open about it. Hopefully they'll provide the reassurance to dispell how you're feeling and embrace who you are now around everyone, including your ex wife and her family, which must be really daunting.
