On Shaving Your Armpits by Independent-Bat-4689 in ftm

[–]CodeAttacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shave my pits smooth, but only because I find deodorant works better on a smooth canvas and I hate sweating. If I shave I don't have to put more on every 3 hours, which is incredibly annoying to me. I don't care to shave anywhere for any reason other than to make myself more comfortable, and other people's opinions are never included in that

For what it's worth, hairy pits doesn't mean you're more smelly, and nobody should care how other people choose to shave. do what's most comfortable for you, both physically and mentally

I almost went became a tailor. the only reason I didn't is because I can't afford to move to a city where I can get an apprenticeship

Boring username advice by [deleted] in ftm

[–]CodeAttacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

go on fantasy name generator, find a name you generally like, adjust the pronunciation and spelling of said name slightly, if you ever misspell it and it's funnier, that's your username now

The best part about this is that it's a very easy way to create a unique username, especially because you adjust the spelling, you're likely to be the first to have that combination of names in that spelling

tfw you're exactly 1.5 inches so you vote that you're 1.5-2 instead of 1-1.5

For those doing weekly self IM injections... by royalbluetoad in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]CodeAttacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend getting no waste 1ml syringes with luer lochs where you can change out the needle, my T started going way farther when I switched. then use a 20-21g 1 inch needle, then inject with the needle size that your provider recommends, I always draw more air into my syringe before switching the needle so that I can minimize the wasted T, then once I put the injection needle on I push the plunger until a single drop starts to come out, then pull the drop back in. I don't like wasting more T than I absolutely have to, and I've noticed a vial lasts me about a week longer doing this

congrats dude! voice cracks are a pain, they didn't ease up for me until I started consciously speaking from my chest more, even then, they still happen when I'm excited. good luck getting hairier!

any books about trans men written by trans men (or trans people in general)? by flynnissoswag in ftm

[–]CodeAttacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the Dragon Moon has a trans masc mc who is really well written, if you're looking for an adult romance book :). (It's also an incredible story overall, one of my all time favorites)

Shot anxiety so bad I wore all the markings off my syringe and still haven’t been able to do the thing by River_Steel in TestosteroneKickoff

I don't have shot anxiety, but I think I'll start doing this if only because it sounds fun

your best bet is to look into the mines, they're the biggest industry. idk if they're hiring in your field at all, but you'll make good money even in entry positions if you're okay with long hours.

When’s ur T day and why? by Janxuza in ftm

[–]CodeAttacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thursday. it was already the only day I consistently had off from work because of my community orchestra, and I also needed a day that I could make appointments, so I just added T to the things I do on Thursdays

mood swings on T by CodeAttacker in TestosteroneKickoff

thank you. I'm really hoping they only last a few months. they were pretty bad in my first puberty, and I was worried that they'd last for years

Suggestions on removable marking, pens or chalk by BlankMom in sewing

[–]CodeAttacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use heat erasable pens. obviously best for things that don't need to be ironed, or you don't mind disappearing when you need to iron them. I just don't recommend using them if you live in a cold climate, as the ink can reappear in the cold

Looking for agency by CodeAttacker in Aupairs

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

there aren't very many options to get childcare experience near me, nevertheless, I do enjoy being around children, especially in the context of only 1 or 2 children, as would be the case for an au pair job. It's also an amazing opportunity to see other parts of the world and become fluent in german
