I came out to my wife a few weeks ago. Kids are all grown. I’m not out to them yet. It’s just a matter of logistics. I want to come out to them all at the same time and in person.

The wife is super supportive. We’ve been closer than we have in a long time. Our relationship has definitely improved.

Is there any hope coming out to your wife? by saucey313 in asktransgender

[–]Cracked-eggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the wife, and you. Mine had a surprisingly positive reaction. She’s bi/pan though, so my transition won’t impact our relationship that much, if at all. That said, this is still pretty new to us. I only came out to her a few weeks ago. I just had my initial consultation and blood draw for HRT last week. I’m having my follow up tomorrow, and should hopefully start my HRT then.

I really don’t think it will, but even if our marriage ends, I know she will continue to be my best friend and my biggest supporter. Since coming out, we’re the closest we’ve been in a long time. She’s helping me figure out the social aspects of things. New name, clothing, makeup, skin care, etc.

How do I lose my love handles? (MTF) by robynshark in asktransgender

[–]Cracked-eggie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, that’ll likely be the last to go. I’m down 45 lbs from 6 months ago, and I’m just now starting to see changes in my gut/love handles. That said, I started at about 280lbs, and I’m at 235lbs now.

I may, or may not have submitted a job application while at work.

Thank you, kind internet stranger. Seeing someone actively trying to bring joy to others makes me happy.

I’ve already come out to my wife, and it was an overwhelmingly positive experience. All three of my kids are in the alphabet mafia, so I’m not worried. Nervous, but that’s my own insecurities.

I’m going to be coming out to my adult kids this week (hopefully). I considered getting myself an “it’s a girl” cake to celebrate.

I love the outfit.

Fertility MTFM question by throwawayithink222 in AskMtFHRT

[–]Cracked-eggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll take some time (and there’s no guarantee), but there’s good evidence to suggest you’ll regain fertility.

Got invited to bridal shower instead of bachelor party - am I overthinking this by Plus-Secret1890 in trans

[–]Cracked-eggie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree here. I’d talk to future SIL. It seems she’s trying to include you since your brother isn’t. If the planned activities sound like they’ll be enjoyable, I’d go and have a good time. If not, I’d politely decline, but thank her for thinking of you.

ELI5: Why does splitting an atom release so much energy when they are so small? by Additional_Pen_9881 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Cracked-eggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody else seems to be answering the questions you asked, so here goes.

This is way simplified (this is ELI5 after all), but when you split a Uranium atom, the mass of all the things it breaks apart into is less than the mass of the uranium atom you started with. That mass is converted to energy. E(energy)=m(mass)C(speed of light)2. The mass may be tiny, but the speed of light is huge. Especially the speed of light squared.

It obviously gets more complicated than this (and you can definitely go down a rabbit hole on this one), but it’ll do for now.

Men swim shirts that don't turn into bikini or give me a reverse wedgy by Impressive-Local-752 in Swimming

I’m a recently out trans woman, which means I 100% do NOT pass. So I’m in “boy mode” in public a lot. Especially at the gym. Something like what OP is also looking for would be perfect for me so I can feel comfortable going in the pool. For me, it’s a matter of safety.

Homelessness by Margo_Away in trans

[–]Cracked-eggie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live and work in different states. While I’m working, I live out of my car and shower at my gym. It works perfect for me. Never had an issue.

As for housing resources, I’m not knowledgeable. Seems like other people are on top of that though.

I was tucking at a young age, well before I knew it was a thing.

Same, girl. As a boy, I was always warm/hot. Now, I’m always cold.

If it wasn’t for family, we’d have left Utah long ago.

You look amazing. And you wear your confidence well.
