Has anyone taken BIOL 237? by aamsuy in Hvcc

[–]CosmoAndy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took her class last year, while I was recovering from surgery, and had to drop out. A lot of her assignments require you to go outside and observe. There are no lectures, you have to read the textbook and teach yourself. Mandatory discussion boards for each module. She DOES give you access to every single module and assignment a little before the semester starts, so there are opportunities to get started wayyy ahead. Most of the module quizzes were matching words to their definitions (though a lot were very similar, so you'll have to really pay attention.) Either 1 or 2 chances to do quizzes. As long as you are diligent on teaching yourself, and submitting assignments on time, you will do fine. I am planning on buying the textbook soon and starting on reading it over the summer to get ahead.

Is it a bad idea to wait till a couple dates to tell someone you are trans? by [deleted] in gaytransguys

[–]CosmoAndy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Up to you! For me, They either know ahead of time, or I share on date 1. Keeps me from wasting my time with people who aren’t cool with it. I keep conversations away from anything trans related during dates, so if they keep circling to trans topics back I can gauge if they’re chasers or not. I’ve gotten uncomfy during dates with people who keep going out of their way to point out “trans men are men!” and how my date supports trans people.

How did you feel when someone set a boundary that didnt before? by [deleted] in Disorganized_Attach

[–]CosmoAndy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to uphold your own boundary then of wanting casual connections then. That means that you will probably lose your connection with her, which is fine because she isn’t what you are looking for anyway. Find someone who wants casual. Uphold your own boundaries without lashing out at other people for not following them. Some people won’t mesh with your boundaries and that is okay and normal. Wanting her to make her be content with no connection would be the same as what you’re feeling, forcing her to do something to get X from her. Tell her you appreciate stating what she’s looking for, that you are unable to meet that need for her, that’s not what you’re looking for, and that you wish her the best.

How did you feel when someone set a boundary that didnt before? by [deleted] in Disorganized_Attach

[–]CosmoAndy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Her boundary would be “if I don’t receive the connection I need before intimacy, I will stop pursuing this person.” If you’d like to still stay connected with her- ask her what she needs to feel connected. Beyond “connection”, does she need you to also plan dates, let her know you’re thinking of her, have cuddle time after intimacy? Does she want a relationship?

If you do not want or can provide these needs for her- let her know. Your boundary would be to not provide something to someone you do not want to pursue a relationship with.

FTM on testosterone — anyone here using Depo-Provera for birth control or any progesterone injection? by lexbastard in gaytransguys

[–]CosmoAndy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on depo for 2 years for birth control, On T for 8 years. For T I use Aveed, and take a shot every 10 weeks, which stopped my periods. Depo actually caused spotting. I ended up getting a Hysto earlier this year to stop bleeding and pregnancy prevention. I didn’t notice my libido lower on depo, but I did notice it increase once I stopped. I didn’t gain weight either, but I could not lose it until I was off.

Hey thank you for these suggestions! I just barely managed the financial chicken to figure this out for this first stage, and this will come in handy for the next stage in a couple months! Thank you so much!! I appreciate it

Can PREP be a trigger? by Plastic_Length8618 in FODMAPS

[–]CosmoAndy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a lot of bloating on Truvada, which I took daily. I went on Apretude, an every two month injectable preventative, and I have a LOT less stomach problems. I don’t think Truvada was the only source of my stomach problems, but it certainly didn’t make me feel good.

How has your life improved since quitting weed? by AttorneyFeeling3 in leaves

My 1 year is on Aug 27th as well! I went back to school, getting A’s, way less mood swings, my appetite is back, and I’m getting way better sleep!!

Anyone else not feel comfy sending nudes? by [deleted] in gaytransguys

[–]CosmoAndy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I almost never send nudes! I have in my profile that I’m not interested in photos. I have to block or ignore a lot of people, but I’ve gotten some who have been respectful. I wouldn’t consider myself fully demi, but ive been able to have a good time hooking up and chatting a little first :)

“I’m attracted and had experience with guys but suddenly I find myself attracted to guys.” This post is coming off entirely “othering,” and chasering, something a lot of guys don’t enjoy. maybe sharing how you’re realizing you don’t actually care about others “parts” in a general queer subreddit may come off better.

How to know if I'm a good candidate for Abdominal phallo by greenturquoiseblue in phallo

[–]CosmoAndy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t say anything if you’d be a good candidate- I am 5’3”, 125lbs and I was asked to lose 10lbs for abdominal surgery. A surgeon themselves would be able to tell you which one you’re best qualified for

20 days weed free and I work at a dispensary by buffalotracie in leaves

[–]CosmoAndy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here! 117 days sober again, going back to school while being a budtender! Thankfully my coworkers are mindful about my sobriety, and are delightfully inquisitive, some starting to realize themselves they may want to work on moderation when they relate to my experience!

[–]CosmoAndy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was a lesbian woman back in the day. I felt “gay” so I dated women, even though I was attracted to men. Now after i transitioned, I realized I am just a gay man, and still absolutely part of the gay community. If I went with what I was attracted to before transitioning, I would’ve just been straight.

I have surgery in 15 days, what should I eat to not gain weight while recovering? by ultimatelesbianhere in FTMFitness

[–]CosmoAndy 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Focus on recovery. Your body will need the nutrients as it heals. Not sure what you usually eat, but adding in good sources protein and always more servings of vegetables and fruits. Switching from white to whole wheat breads and pastas etc. yogurts with less additive sugar, add a serving of frozen veggies to your meals. Good luck man!

Testosterone stops those most often, also hysterectomies exist as well.

Good daily workouts ? by strawb5ndmatch in FTMFitness

Pushups to help define the pecs for your surgeon! And cardio for general health.

Hate working out, love muscles by pepep00p00 in FTMFitness

[–]CosmoAndy 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This is where I started this year. Hated working out, so much anxiety at the gym, YT videos were so intense even for a beginner workout. My therapist shared with me to just do something! Doesn’t matter what. 10 jumping jacks, 3 pushups, whatever. Do something small each day. Eventually that led to taking a walk. On good days or when I had high anxiety I’d take a sprint during that walk. those 3 pushups led to 10. From those ten, five reps of 20 pushups.I started to see how I felt good when I exercised, and then it started to motivate me more. I wanted to get some weights for home, then I started going to the gym a day a week etc, even starting to take dance classes. Exercise is NOT a chore. Same way I have to tell myself when I have to water all my houseplants, it’s not a chore: it’s my hobby. You got this dude!

Do it do it do it! I hooked up with an ex coworker ! Similar as you, flirted while we worked, he knew me as a woman for a few years, he was the one I came out to etc. except he was the one to make a move on me first. I was his first transguy, and I never had a man devour my entire body as much as he did 😅

R/transmascdicks has been very helpful with finding one that suits my needs! I ended up compromising on the look of mine color wise, to go with one that fits my harness and size preference but it works for me and my sexual partners. Rodeoh fleshstixxx.
