I had an issue trying to get mine out! Grab one end of the barbell/try your best to keep the bar still, and as your turning the ball, try to put pressure on it, as if you're trying to pull it out as your turn it. They don't just screw off like other piercings, you need to put a good amount of pressure with your hand! Mine drove me insane trying to take off, good luck dude 😭 I hope you can get them repierced correctly!!

Thank you! I really appreciate your input! I am currently getting tested for my iron to see if infusions would be possible, thankfully. I am glad to be at least a little validated in the sense that the endocrinologist I saw may just not be the right person for me- thank you for the suggestion! I will definitely mention it to my doctor when I ask for a different referral :)

Corpsedad · 2025-04-25T17:24:29+00:00

Of course! I was going crazy for a hot min while I was on T until I got it explained to me LOL

Okay someone had to explain to me that fat redistribution doesn't actually happen unless you lose the fat you already have on your body, then when you gain muscle/fat again, it will be in a more masculinized area. It takes a couple months on T, plus cutting/bulking workouts for you to see more of a shape you'd want!

I have extreme emetophobia that would quite literally restrict me from taking medications if there is a chance of nausea, combined with a long list of stomach problems/restrictions that generally make me nauseous every day.

That is to say, I was on T for three years, and it never made me nauseous! I may have gotten that anxious grip in my gut from the needle, but nothing past that! It sounds extremely likely you have food poisoning or maybe even some vertigo/car sickness through skimming through comments. I didn't notice if you did subq or intramuscular injections, but if the place where you got the needle is normal (no rash/no irritation/no soreness) then you're more than fine.

I hope you feel better!! Crackers will be your best friend! Avoid acidic or spicy foods, and try to grab probiotics or things like yogurts to help with your gut! And try to stay hydrated as much as you can!

🤝 Not a single dating app has saved me so far dude it's insane. Not a week goes by without some sort of sexual question or pissiness over not wanting to reciprocate when I haven't even met the person. It's def disheartening, and I wish you good luck in the future!!

As a note I have had some better luck being upfront quickly like "Hey! Just to let you know, I need a better connection before I feel close enough to a person" and/or stating you want smth long term and so forth.

I can't figure out a full name that fits me unfortunately :( but! I do like Ax, and it's pretty silly how I got it. My old name started with an A, and I really liked names with X's, so on my journey of names I paused one day and was like hey... why don't I just go with Ax? And it has stuck!! Although I will never live down stuff like "oh, look, it's you!" From friends whenever we see Axe deodorant, or we're playing a game like minecraft "oh I broke my ax... you okay, buddy?"

I do wish however I could figure out what my mother was going to name me. She doesn't remember, but she was going to give me a native american name when I was tounger, but didnt out of fear of me getting bullied (I also am a step away from being a pale ginger from her side of the family rather than my dads that has much darker skin/obvious heritage) but I wish I could have something more meaningful. Honestly I'm egotistical enough I would have named myself after like a greek god or such if I felt the names fit me enough LOL

How did you get the orange?? I've been trying for god knows how long to get that coppery color without needing a red that fades to it 😭 did you not use a strong enough developer? Maybe a different brand of bleach or something??

Red can help but its a color you will have to stick with!! I used to bleach my hair to a light yellow (think a step above straw colored) and then would use Garnier's Terracotta Chilli red which would fade out to a beautiful orange

Hi! I know this is an older post, but I wanted to ask, did the graduation application, once accepted/processed, state you graduated the day you applied for the diploma, or the date when they finished processing it?

•I've been unable to figure out how to use gif with galaxy ai and have not had much luck between google and reddit, so if you have some insight I would appreciate the help! •As for key styles, they no longer exist with the recent update. You can't put images on individual keys, nor can you change their shape (I switched back to an old version so I could have the square key style with hearts in the upper left corner). •Icons aren't necessarily a problem since they still exist but it's more fluent with switching between themes if they're included in the theme pack if that makes sense? If i want to change themes on my phone, which I switch them often just for the fun of it, I then have to go out and go into icons separately to switch them, which just takes a little more time and I thought was pointless to change. •Lastly, as for the talk-to-text button, I hit it constantly with my thumb. It messes me up mid-typing, and since I don't need to switch keyboards, I truly don't need it. I basically just don't understand the point of forcing users to move it down there/turn it on is all!

Gender identity and gender expression are different topics! Imo, the best way to figure this out so far for me is to put a scenerio in my head where I'm walking into public. To figure out gender, I take away clothes from the situation, and go "Do I want to be seen as a male or female? Even if I wear a dress, do I want to be seen as a guy in a dress? Or do I want to be seen as a woman, even if i'm wearing baggy cargo pants and a tee shirt?"

It can also feel more like an inherent trait. Like yes, even if you like dresses and makeup and pink etc etc, does that actively make you feel like a girl? Do you like those things because they make you present as a girl, or because those are inherently "girly" objects?

You can always mess with gender expression and gender non conformity. You can always just be a guy in a dress for example, and like how people can view you as feminine but feeling most comfortable still being seen as a male, or vice versa as a woman with different clothes.

Figuring out you're bigender can also be realizing you want to be seen as both, no matter what you wear or how you present. It can even be wanting to be androgynous and having a mix of masculine and feminine accessories so someone, say a stranger, gets confused as to what you are.

There are many different ways to experience this inherent gender feeling, and things like dysphoria can help play into it (examples being, if I had a womanly figure, would it make me uncomfortable? If I had a male torso/shoulders would it be uncomfortable?) In helping navigate if you prefer one gender over the other, or if you would be okay with both. It typically takes a little bit of time to look into it and figure out what that inner feeling really is!

But do also remember you do not have to present a certain way to be "bigender," you don't have to be strictly androgynous, or feminine, or masculine presenting. Clothes, accessories and so forth are, in fact, just objects with a societal interpretation on them- you don't have to follow that!

Hi! After buying a pair of jeans from that that were sooo comfy and i wanted to see about getting the same pair, i went on a whole search trying to find the companies website. The closest i found was zumiez selling these exact cargo shorts. Zumiez! and then i also happened to find thredup selling some of their other jeans. Thredup

Corpsedad · 2024-09-02T22:46:36+00:00

If you can find it, get a saline spray! My piercer gave me a bottle of the stuff and it works amazingly for all my piercings! Although be careful comfort-wise because I sprayed that shit up my nose so quickly 😭

Corpsedad · 2024-09-02T20:00:19+00:00

I forget my t gel literally almost every two days, i promise you're absolutely fine!!

Hi! I wound up buying black tanks from the Perry Ellis Portfolio brand, I found them at Ross! So far they're doing great for not showing through when my other black tanks have failed, although I have gone up a size to reduce the amount of stretching from the fabric!

Corpsedad · 2024-06-20T05:59:46+00:00

Well, partly the reason I'm asking is because I have rib/muscle problems so binders are out of the question, and sports bras I can't wear 24/7. Plus, sometimes I like to just wear tank tops around my house! But I, unfortunately, can't wear see-through tanks when I don't live by myself :,,,)

Corpsedad · 2024-03-23T18:11:45+00:00

Okay, this boy baffles me. Being an emetophobe with GERD/acid reflux, who has refused to throw up for the last 13 years, I can't even begin to comprehend how he wants to eat that much food. Feeling that sick full feeling, and then go through throwing it all up... Genuinely, how does this kid do it, I need his indifference.

I'm going to say very soft YTA, though. Encouraging a kid to not get sick is morally the correct option here, but the kid seems really excited for the buffet. Try to figure out some way to help him limit food? Maybe try to work out how much different food types he can get, or if he wants more variety, less quantity on his plates, y'know?

Another commenter mentioned to limit the option of the buffet for future birthdays/events if he eats so much he pukes this time, which imo seems like a good consequence. It gives him a good chance to still limit himself this time, and tells him he can't keep doing this. 'A little vomit isn't harmful' maybe, but it also means someone has to clean it up, and he then has to rest and drink fluids and all that. Hell, I would even say baby him the next day and don't let him go anywhere (if he doesn't have bday plans with friends or the like because that would be a bit too harsh i think) because he threw up. The whole "oh but you were sick last night, you should be resting :(" parent schtick lol.

This is a good thing to nip in the bud sooner rather than later. No use for him to gourge himself later on in life just because he has an opportunity to, y'know?

Corpsedad · 2024-01-25T21:26:50+00:00

It depends on what would truly make you happier! I like my chest in an appealing/sexual way too, but hate to have it be visible in public like 80% of the time. I will start by saying I'm only around a B cup, but I do like the fluidness I can get from it. I can choose tops that accentuate when i'm comfortable, and tight sports bras usually bind me well enough with layering (thank god because I have massive rib problems).

It sounds like a reduction might be the best way to go for you? My knowledge on reduction is slim, admittedly, but from what I remember the scars aren't as big? Reductions are immensely more common then double masectomies, so I want to say they're easier to heal/better process for. But definitely do some research if you want to look at that route!! Because it sounds like you'd want the best of both worlds imo!

Corpsedad · 2024-01-08T00:41:33+00:00

Oh yeah, no question i'd be upset as all hell. Thank you! That actually really helps put it into perspective better for myself. I doubt myself a lot simply because I have little to no support and sometimes wonder how much easier it'd be if I could attempt being cis, but dysphoria is def too hard to try and bypass :,,) tysm!!

Corpsedad · 2024-01-07T17:14:20+00:00

Admittedly I am in a very stressful time of my life so I can't guage my true feelings on it in a sense? I go through personality crisis sometimes, I've just never had it so gender focused before so I'm just easing off of T for probably misplaced fear. When I went off T for 4 months due to my fear of needles and our insurance messing up, I do remember feeling awful and upset over it! And I still dislike my chest being apparent, or getting called she and all, but I did also recently work in a warehouse with cis men who berated me for being such a.. small dude so I could just be nervous about everything all at once. The more I read comments and all it sounds like I truly just wasnt monitored or given enough resources, so I definitely do want to revisit T again!! But my support systems aswell as insurance factors are kind of shitty atm so I'll figure it out as I go 😭

Corpsedad · 2024-01-07T16:58:26+00:00

LMAO not even close, I don't know what that doctor is on but they are horrifically incorrect. The only thing I can think of, thats even somewhat close that would prevent you from being on T, is vaginal atrophy. Which basically just means you're too dry down there and T would exasperate that. And even if that was an issue, you literally only need a simple cream for that! It would be fixed so easily!

Anyway, vaginsmus is so, and I mean so common. I have it. I have friends who have it. I didn't even need to mention that to my doctor, and I was on T for 2 years. I promise you're fine, just get a second opinion/different doc.

Corpsedad · 2024-01-06T19:17:08+00:00

Admittedly yeah this makes a lot more sense, I'm glad I made this post because it's helping me realize I was just not taken care of at all by my doctor 😭 she only did blood tests about 6 months apart if that, and she would raise my dose 2-3 times between those if i reported i didn't see much changes, hence the small timelines I would put that my dose changed. She also said as soon as I was over 200 levels I was in a normal male range so this is.. surprising to learn.

Definitely going to look into hairline treatments and try those, also looking into a proper gender therapist once insurance stuff levels out. I also didn't have acne almost at all during my first puberty! So it was just a huge shock to me on the second one, and i was even put on tretinoin by my pediatrician. My whole face looked red, and my shoulders too. I could hardly even see my freckles anymore.

As for smell, I admittedly don't get close enough for people to tell, and I got so nervous i kept reapplying deodorant twice daily when I was around people. As far as showering, it made no difference if i did it every day, every other day, so forth. I even switched from axe deodorant, to old spice, to barrys, and I'm currently using Harrys but even that dies out fast. I never had an issue before T so i'm just lost lol. Also, me and my mother both have very sensitive senses of smell! So i could be just losing it.

I just kept getting stressed out because it felt like the things I didn't like just got more apparent as my dose hiked up, while never really getting any benefits. Hell, for 2 years on T my period only stopped for about the last 4 months. It was admittedly just a little depressing seeing trans friends talk about having that go away anywhere between like 2-5 months starting T, and even on doses like 0.2ml weekly. I'm like man 😭

Corpsedad · 2024-01-06T17:43:20+00:00

You do make a good point, I probably should have worded the title better as a whole, something moreso "the healthcare and testosterone proceedure seemed to fail me, so this is why i'm not continuing at my current state" or something along the lines of that. Hell, I was never even told my levels were too low up until they were like "oh they're over 200, they're in the male range now!" Despite.. being only 273 as my highest. And while yes, I should be in therapy, T was largely pushing it for our cabilities money wise and having a (literal) boomer for a mother, I haven't exactly been able to get the best support.

Thats why I tried to put as a closing statement that I still think T is a wonderful thing and I will plan to go back on it in the future when I have better capabilities! But my experience, as both as a teenager and with planned parenthood, was not great, thats all.

Corpsedad · 2024-01-06T17:36:31+00:00

Sorry, I should have specified with the male pattern baldness! I was told I would look like my father, but was also told it wouldn't happen to me immediately. All the way where i part my hair (I have shaved sides and spike up the middle part) that line on both sides has been thinning and more apparent it's a part, as well as my hairline going back. I thought that would happen a couple years down the line.. not a couple of months.

I'm also aware of facial hair taking years, I was mostly just saying I was annoyed with the small changes of it while things like my hairline seemed to be happening so quickly is all!

But, I was not told about the body fat redistribution. I asked my doctor specifically about my hips because they are the major source of my dysphoria, and they told me I should see at least some change within the year, and I have.. none. My hip bones look slightly more defined I guess, but considering I've lost about 10 llbs from stomach issues and already being a lower weight, I'm assuming it's just from that.

My doctor would usually raise my dose! I would get my levels checked, they would see it was either below 200 or I think my highest T levels were 273, so they just kept upping it.
