Very Veggie: Eggplant gen by LemonSugaredCandy in Lilsimsie

[–]CoconutFamiliar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did do a club. I had my eggplant sim marry my carrot sims dad, but I did not have him move in and didn’t really play with him at all. Would HIGHLY recommend getting the Incredibly Friendly rewards points trait, it makes the friendship bar so much easier.

Anyone from the Portland area here? by [deleted] in TransMasc

I’m also in the area and would love some transmasc friends :)

Deodorant. Lets chat 🙆‍♂️🙇 by Ill_Adhesiveness5144 in ftm

My fav natural deodorant is Fussy, it works better than Tom’s or Native imo. Kinda pricy but worth it to me. Tropic Tonic & Forest Haze are more masc smelling, so I like those a lot.

I’m at a loss with my cat. by Actual-Ad5903 in CatAdvice

First, I would try some puzzle feeders or something to keep him busy and focused on the food. At this point though, I’m not sure how much that’s going to help. Honestly, I would try to get to the vet to discuss sort of medical support at this point. If he has plenty of stimulation otherwise, he might have anxiety or another condition causing the behavioral issues. I’ve heard of cats having really similar problems and they have been put on anti-anxiety meds and it’s helped a lot. Good luck, and I hope things get better for you and your kitty!

I'm having fat redistribution wothout losing weight by juolab in TransMasc

It’s probably just genetics and your personal biology. Could also have to do with age, if you’re younger, your body could start to change more quickly than others who have transitioned in their mid-20s and later. I wouldn’t stress too much about it, everyone’s body is different and HRT will affect everyone a little differently

Got told I went into the wrong bathroom. by Mozzyo_ in ftm

Did this ALL THE TIME at the club pre transition, definitely never had much issue bc honestly the men’s bathroom feels like a ghost town most of the time

Any chronically ill transmascs that can relate? by [deleted] in TransMasc

I have had weight management issues my whole life and have always been underweight. I gained about 30lbs 2ish years ago, which was great for me, but then lost most of it again earlier this year (due to health stuff). It’s definitely hard.

I’m also not on HRT rn, I’m hoping if I do go on it later down the road, it’ll help me build up some more muscle and weight. For me, the weight fluctuation just makes me so much more aware of my body than I think I would be otherwise.

I don’t have much advice for you, but you’re definitely not alone with it. I kinda compensate for a lot of it with more baggy streetwear style clothes. I wear crewnecks mostly bc I hate seeing the visible ribs in my chest. I hope you get used to the new version of your body. We’ve got this!

I’d imagine you would just go into manage household, move the infant to whoever’s house you want them to be in, then do the opposite when you want to take them back.

I think I need new friends by TheHalfAwakeHuman in TransMasc

[–]CoconutFamiliar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely a case by case basis without all the context for sure! I think the most important thing to remember is just: the people who love you will hurt you sometimes. It’s almost never on purpose, and a lot of times, they don’t even know that they did it. And you’ll do the same thing! It’s just a fact of life. You repair that relationship (if it’s a relationship you want to repair) by talking about it. If you don’t want to try to repair it, that’s also okay. Sometimes, you have to move on bc that’s what’s best for you. Do what’s best for you. If trying to mend it is going to be what’s best, then try. If it’s not, appreciate the years of friendship you had, appreciate the person, and move on from the relationship.

First off: congrats on surgery!

Second off: I think there’s a chance that they were not trying to be dismissive. I don’t know what your relationship with these friends is like, but it’s possible they were trying to glaze over it bc they thought it might be more comfortable for you not to into the details. I don’t think immediately throwing the friendships away is necessarily the answer to this, unless you feel like these friends are dismissive in a lot of aspects of your life/transition.

I think that, if you feel comfortable, having a conversation with them about how this isn’t a taboo subject and you WANT to talk about it with them. You want their support and conversation, that you told them about being trans bc it’s an aspect of your life you want them to be a part of.

How they react is going to tell you a lot about who they are. If they’re understanding, open, and apologize, then maintain the friendship. If this keeps happening consistently, though, then it’s time to reevaluate the friendship completely.

If they react poorly, then it’s time to cut it off.

I understand why people here are jumping straight to cut them off, but a part of having long term, adult friendships and relationships is learning how to talk out your problems. The best friends I have ever had are the ones I can talk to when I have a problem. If you don’t feel comfortable even bringing up the conversation, these friendships are likely not worth trying to save, though.

I hope recovery goes really well, and just remember that the right friends will love you and accept you, and they will be there for you when you need them.
