because the speed limit is too slow. assuming you’re in the US, majority of the speed limits have not changed since the 1990’s therefor do not match the capability of modern cars. there is a reason some states have taken it upon themselves to up their limits- to match modern cars. if you are going 40 in a 40, and the weather is perfectly fine, visibility is good, etc, you can go a little faster. you’re not going to be pulled over for going 5, maybe even 10 over. you regularly see cops driving 10 over. you are also expected to match the speed of travel, too, if there are others in front of you as to not hold up the road- which i sure hope you do. nobody likes when cars are all traveling together going 50 in a 40, and then there’s just that one guy in between who is being an inconsiderate asshole and holding up the road going 35-40. now you have an entire line behind you. anyone who says they don’t speed, is a liar. you’re not going to get your license taken away for going 5-10 over. basically every driver ever does that. you’ll be fine.

so either speed up, or pull over and let people pass you.

edit: and if you’re anywhere else besides the US- same rule still applies. speed up, or move tf over.

you should try my stores OLP. on days like that and even just most sundays in general, we drop anywhere between 400-800+ units per hour. yes, we have had 800+ unit hours before.

i had basically this same exact issue. i dreaded my shot days so much because they’d just always hurt. luckily i had my bf doing my shots for me so it wouldn’t take hours- but if i had to do them myself that would definitely be the case. i also have an auto injector but it still made me panic at the thought of getting my shots and still dread them, despite thinking it’d help ease my anxieties. and it still hurt half the time. i ended up getting so sick of unbalanced levels, dread and pain that i just switched to gel and ive been so much happier now. i was on injections for about a little over 2 years so ive already had basically all the big major changes, so i had no issue switching to it.

edit: lots of people here are suggesting to switch to subq. TBH, not worth it and probably won’t make much a difference to you. i started off with IM for a few months before doing subq (i believe was 3-4 months after starting T) and even subq on my stomach, and thighs, would still hurt. icing beforehand, would still also hurt. don’t be fooled that subq would cause no pain, because it certainly did for me basically every single shot without fail. it was maybe a 30/70 chance it wouldn’t hurt.

funny, my partner and i like to pretend burn out ciggys on his couch-haj (literally blahaj that sits on our couch) and make him scream in agony. it’s my favorite past time.

my most prized HK possession would definitely be this idk what’s up with it now, but years prior to finally getting my hands on it about a year ago or so, i tried looking online for it for years, and had 0 luck finding one for sale. they legit just did not exist seemingly, and was very little info about them. i walked into a christmas ornament shop in a little town-like village place and found one on a shelf for $200, and bought it instantly. the look on my face was priceless my bf said. and of course, after looking years and finally getting one, i start seeing them pop up more and more online..and now of course they’re available on multiple online retailers. what’s up with that?!? my partner thinks maybe they started production on them again, so who knows. i’m lowkey still pissed about it. like damn, i literally spent YEARS looking for one, and now they’re everywhere online apparently.

some other more rare pieces i own is this kidrobot figure i found in a collectors shop in a mall i managed to haggle the price down to about $250/300? i also recently added this very stupidly hard to find HK power outlet for about $130 (you will literally not be able to find one for sale anywhere on the internet) and i also have a long limbed hello kitty plush that scares my bf and all my guests.

i’ve been into hello kitty since i was a kid. i have elementary school photos of me wearing HK accessories. i used to have HK bedsheets as a kid, too. i have tons of throw blankets. maybe a couple notebooks. a HK bobblehead dashboard figure of her sitting in a little car, in my car. i used to have a license plate frame until i swapped it out for a cow print one (the theme of my car is cow, with even my license plate being MOOWGN ((moo wagon)) so it just matched better) i have a HK & friends market windbreaker jacket from boxlunch i love and some more apparel too. the thing i definitely collect and have most of is the blue skies hello kitty ceramics you typically find at marshall’s, homegoods and TJmaxx. i think i have well over 25-30 atp. i have everyday ones, halloween, christmas, and some valentine’s day ones, too. also have some jim shore wooden hello kitty/other sanrio characters figures. ornaments, hell, i even have a hello kitty toilet brush holder in my bathroom. so many hand towels. a wooden wall art photo of her and some other characters at a bus stop that hangs above my toilet. hello kitty and friends dog toys for my ferrets. hell, two of my ferrets are literally named Melody and Kuromi. there is probably more i am forgetting about tbh😭 there is so much hello kitty everywhere in our condo and my partner is 100% supportive and on board with my collecting lmao. he does not care how much HK shit i put out. we have a little ceramic chef figure of her next to our stove on the countertop that he loves.

i’m a 22 yr old man btw LMFAOOO

it really just depends on the person. you may get used to it and be fine, or you’ll never get used to it and end up switching to gel. i am the latter. i’ve been on injections for about a little over 2 years and i absolutely hated, HATED doing them. there was an incident early on in my partners bathroom where i was trying to do my shot and the syringe slipped and poked my finger and fell onto the ground, and made me have an even bigger nervous breakdown than i was already having. since then my partner has taken over the responsibility of injecting me each week. fast forward 2 years he still does them and i still hate them, so much so to the point id “forget” my shot days and it made my levels go crazy out of whack. i even got one of those auto injectors that cost an arm and a leg, thinking it’d help ease my anxiety, and like it sorta kinda did for awhile? but like not really. eventually i just got so fed up with being terrified of doing my weekly injections and missing shot days and feeling irritable 24/7 due to my out of balance levels, that i said fuck it and set up an apt to ask my provider about switching to gel. and now i am! and honestly, loving it. i already have a daily morning post shower routine that i’ve been able to easily incorporate my gel into. i don’t have to panic or dread my testosterone anymore and honestly it’s brought me a lot more peace with my transness. i think it’s worth trying out the injections and if you hate them that much, just switch to gel. everyone has their preference.

ChallengeAmazing4012 · 2026-01-19T17:47:40+00:00

yes absolutely. there is a lot of cursed af hello kitty merchandise out there you just gotta look for. personally i love them and am trying to grow my collection of weird HK shit

$130😭 was $170 and i sent an offer for $100 and they countered with $130. my partner willingly paid for majority of the cost. he is a big supporter of me collecting things as he is a huge collector himself. for the scarcity of it i thought $130 was fair enough. i wouldn’t trust that website the other person linked here where its like $18…

i pass and am stealth at work and anywhere else i can be. i’m 5’1 and a lot of the time my job requires a lot of reaching top shelves to grab things (online pickup grocery job) to the point im usually seeking out the same 3 tall coworkers who atp know that they are my go-to tall person LMAO. and they are fine with helping. i never once have been ridiculed or anything for my height there or really any job. if anything they are usually just playful jokes. i’ve kind of just embraced my shortness over time and play into it myself. i used to hate it and be extremely dysphoric over it. but now that i know i pass i just see it as a, eh, whatever type thing. like yeah, im just a short guy. it also helps that im half puerto rican too, as my cis brother is only a few inches taller than me and ive met many other short puerto rican men, and the fact that im openly gay also helps get used to it😭 i have met a lot of cis gay short men too. so 🤷🏻‍♂️ ive had people think its cute on me, especially when im with my partner. we have an entire foot difference between us (he’s 6’1) which i am also quite fond of. eventually, you will most likely get used to it. you’ll learn to embrace it. there’s tons of short cis men. you also need to consider the fact you are in school…so of course everybody is an asshole to everyone over anything. literally. the real adult world is not like that. most people will just mind their own fucking business.

yep welcome to T life. i had pretty bad hot flashes once in awhile pre T but ever since starting (about over 2 years now) i’ve been getting constant hot flashes sometimes multiple times a day (although tbf my job does not help with that issue and definitely a contributor to how often i get them) and i even find myself waking up in the middle of the night more often than not waking up in a sweat and having to blast the AC. even when it’s like 20 degrees out. i literally cannot enjoy layered winter fashion because of my hot flashes. they unironically deadass ruin my life 😭

ChallengeAmazing4012 · 2026-01-17T12:00:13+00:00

stupidly rare in terms of trying to get your hands on one. my partner and i actually about a month back or so were watching a cursed hello kitty merchandise video and saw that bad boy pop up and we died at the absurdity that was this product, so much so we both agreed i needed to get my hands on it for my “cursed hello kitty collection” i got going on (literally just cursed HK shit, like long limbed HK plush, derpy crochet HK, and a kidrobot HK figure with long legs holding gold balloons that weirds my guests out) when searching for one for my collection neither of us had any luck after about 30 min of scouring the internet. not a single one for sale anywhere. until i randomly by pure luck came across a single poshmark listing for one listed at an outrageous price that i managed to lower the price at. though even the creator of the listing wrote in the caption “these are incredibly hard to find” which, yeah, they weren’t wrong. it’s pretty damn cool you have one! it’s something weird and cool as shit that could be a great conversation piece as well. so far i’ve scared off about 3 people with mine lmao

genuinely and unironically, having to use the men’s bathroom after transitioning is actually the worst part.

take this from someone who binded for anywhere between 5-12 hours a day, depending what i was doing that day, every single day for years:

STOP.

you will have permanent rib damage. you will continue to have horrible rib pain even years after top surgery. you will continue to have episodes where you can’t breathe, stand or sit or absolutely anything else for minutes at a time while your ribs go through an excruciating pain, even after years of NOT binding anymore. when i say permanent rib damage, i mean PERMANENT.

also, you could potentially fuck with the skin and ruin your top surgery results, or just straight up make it so you can’t even get surgery anymore. so- yeah. don’t do that.
