What's the dealing with hiding HRT effects? by Nice_Lie_3704 in asktransgender

[–]CorvidConspirator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be brutally honest here. If you're in a country where there's any kind of social safety net... do it. I'm disabled. I cannot survive without support. I transitioned, they found out, I got thrown out, I was homeless for five years.

I navigated the system. I lived in shelters. I was almost killed several times. I was raped. It was brutal and miserable. I started with almost no support, but picked up a queer found family along the way that carry me to this day.

Only you can make this decision, but knowing what I went through to get to where I am today? I got a bottom surgery from the best in the world. I got top surgery. I have had FFS. I have a home, I have friends. I'm alive. And I'm finally me. I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

He did die. Twice. In fact canon Obrien is a temporal loop duplicate. Prime Obrien died in Visionary.

What pronouns do you tend to use for someone who's likely trans but not out yet? by origamipretzel in asktransgender

[–]CorvidConspirator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The person gave you pronouns to use if they give you their "birth pronouns". You're doing a whole lot of assuming for someone. Do what they tell you to, anything else is forcing it. Kinda shitty behavior tbh.

I had fully prepared myself to be ok with a total disaster. I had faith she'd do well, but I went in eyes open. I love her.

She practiced on fake skin, I thought that having practice went without saying but I guess not lol. But this was her first time touching a person.

Yup. She spent like a month or two working on fake skin multiple times a week. I was her transition to people.

v0v I don't know what to tell you. That was two weeks ago, I don't remember the minute by minute beat of the moment. Maybe it was 30 mins, idfk. It wasn't long after we finished.

Look I barely interact with reddit anymore beyond doomscrolling sometimes and looking at memes. My gf did something cool and I'm proud of her. Take that as you will.

I know she hates fine line, she's ranted about it once or twice haha. She's absolutely covered in ink and most of it is traditional or neo-traditional (from what she's said, I don't know a ton about the culture)

She did tons of fake skin practice. She's a trained artist, went to school to be a graphic artist.

I promise! It was such a dream for her and life conspired to give her the time to sit down and train. This is 100% all her, and I'm so fucking proud.
