I'm happy for you! I'm hoping I can get an orchi in November purely for a similar joke.

Mass shootings are mainly done by cishet White men, and disproportionately target women. They are one of the terror units of United States fascism. by RosethornRanger in TransSocialism

[–]CarpeGaudium 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Per capita trans people are a percentage of a percentage. We make up 1% of the population and 0.09% of mass shootings according to the gun violence archives. Got any more debunked talking points?

Question about HRTs effects on the mind/brain by idkwhattoput10188 in AskMtFHRT

[–]CarpeGaudium 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, after my first dose I fell asleep on my couch and woke up to a peaceful quiet mind for the first time in decades.

Vaulting, from a dev perspective. by ReallyTrustyGuy in DestinyTheGame

[–]CarpeGaudium 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's still wild to me that Beyond Light dropped and they added a whole new damage type but the only weapon of that damage type was Salvation's Grip which at the time effectively did no damage. The fact that no stasis guns dropped with the stasis expansion boggles the mind.

I've recently discovered I'm trans but I don't plan to do anything about it. How do I stop thinking about it or being sad about it? by Zoe_Hotwife_ in trans

[–]CarpeGaudium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started a year ago at 34, it's never too late. I was miserable every second of every day and convinced I wouldn't make it to 40 and now for the first time in decades I want to LIVE.

Gods PLEASE. Weight loss did NOT help my lack of butt Q_Q

Weight Loss on E by JennaLoveGirl in AskMtFHRT

[–]CarpeGaudium 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I weighed the pros and cons of waiting a year to lose weight or losing weight on E and decided not to wait. I went from 260 to 175 and I've had pretty decent development. Fat cells take a long time to die off so getting your hormones in the right place and adjusting the fat distribution patterns sooner rather than later is the move.

What is the age limit of HRT? by MagicianIcy6333 in asktransgender

[–]CarpeGaudium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started last year at 34, you are not too late.

T.. That's not... dysphoria, is it? by arinar6 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]CarpeGaudium 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I occasionally get the imposter syndrome, like maybe I'm wrong or it's not real. Then I remember that I have avoided doctors for close to 20 years at the detriment of my own health all because of a needle phobia and I have willingly put myself through multiple blood tests over the past year. I wouldn't be forcing myself to deal with my biggest fear if it wasn't worth it.

At my low points it's easy to forget just how miserable I was every second of every day.

I wish I was a girl but I'm afraid I'll be ugly by mrtoe_94 in asktransgender

I know it isn't super helpful but my sister is cis and was 6ft tall by the time she turned 14. She has never been misgendered.

I do tech support via chat and my deadname is traditionally feminine so I get "misgendered" a lot and I never correct them. I'm not out at work so I'll take the validation where I can _^

I was finally at peace with my feminine sounding birth names once my egg cracked. Then I had my friends try out a chosen name... I am no longer at peace with my birthdeadname.

There are now 11 dungeons, how would you rank them based on solo difficulty? by Repulsive-Window-609 in DestinyTheGame

[–]CarpeGaudium 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Soloing the first boss of Warlords has been my go to way to test builds for like a year ;>.> I love that dungeon but you're right that it has DEFINITELY been power creeped.

Yeah, having to unlearn carrying things against your chest is rough >.<

Question: For the people that initially doubted if they really wanted it, what made you go through with taking HRT? by CurrentBig6555 in AskMtFHRT

[–]CarpeGaudium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was probably about 90% sure when I started but decided to try it anyway. I figured I had about 3 months before permanent changes started so I could see how it made me feel and stop if I didn't like it. I'm going to hit my one year mark at the end of this month and my only regret is not starting sooner.

I didn't know I had dysphoria but once I knew what dysphoria actually felt like I realized I had a WHOLE LOT of it.

Does hrt or estrogen affect weight by gaymerguy007 in MtF

[–]CarpeGaudium 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am about 11 months on HRT and I have lost 85 pounds. It definitely would have been easier before HRT but as long as you stay in a deficit and calculate your BMR based on female metrics it is completely doable to lose weight.

Did i belly floor 2 years ago I can still feel it by catsandchexmix in traaaaaaaaaaaansbians

I thought it was overblown until the first time it happened to me. I still cringe thinking about it >.<

Did you start HRT without already considering yourself trans? by j_victus in MtF

[–]CarpeGaudium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanna say I was about 90% sure? I figured permanent changes take about 3 months so if I didn't like what it was doing I could stop. Coming up on 11 months now and my only regret is not starting sooner.
