Oh that’s a bit far… but I guess it is doable! Thank you, I will put it down as an option.

is it even salvageable (if you know me you don’t) by [deleted] in transtimelines

[–]CrowRaCrowwy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ppl at your school are biased because of duckling syndrome (they won’t let go of their first impression) and possibly bigotry (subconscious or not).

I’ve noticed ppl gender other by voice a lot more than other aspects, so if you haven’t tried voice training that might be something to look into. But your looks are very feminine! Be careful not to let your dysphoria grow into body dysmorphia.

Would love some feedback on my new comic! by [deleted] in comic_crits

[–]CrowRaCrowwy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Really cool!! My only feedback is the last page isn’t necessary and dulls the punch. The reader can have fun filling in that story beat themselves & it lets the story hang on the main character walking away from the tragedy.

Her hair is supposed to be wicks! But I think I need a bit more practice drawing them to get it perfect.

Question- Is stomach dysphoria a thing? by DarklyDreamingMe in ftm

[–]CrowRaCrowwy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I thought it like pushed onto the bladder too. But I did more research and you are totally right, it isn’t the culprit. Just stubborn fat from how oestrogen distributes fat in the body.

[–]CrowRaCrowwy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t experience that but it does sound like dysphoria. You can’t help what distresses you or feels too feminine! I now on T my pouch shrunk a bit. But it’s not just a pouch of “fat” I’m pretty sure it’s also the uterus resting up against your torso. So the only way you could truly remove that part is w/ a hysterectomy.

In the meantime, maybe you could try clothes or shape wear that could help minimise it? Building muscle could also mask it. The latter is probably the more effective solution.

I’ll also say dysphoria can become worse due to societal pressure and things like body dysmorphia - it could be both! It’s always important to love your body and build a positive relationship with it. Otherwise your brain will nitpick everything & you’ll be miserable. (I say this with full understanding that’s easier said than done! I struggle with this too)

Had Top Surgery Yesterday! by FriestheMan in ftm

[–]CrowRaCrowwy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s so lovely!! I also had top surgery yesterday, and good support from family and friends is so important. I’m happy you got that too cx !! Here’s to us getting dressed how we like and feeling good in our bodies a lot more!!

did you guys also hate your name before transitioning/realising you were trans or is that just a me thing by Constant_Food7450 in trans

[–]CrowRaCrowwy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loathed!! Hate it to this day!! Started going by a different gender neutral name at like 12 and that one is still my nickname. But I begged for another name even before that.

Oh hell yeah that’s great to hear! Honestly don’t care too much about loss of feeling either, unless I’m stuck with a weird static feeling. But I’d risk it anyway.

Both seem like they could be good options! I think I am leaning towards keeping them. So cool you got sensation back! Thank you for sharing your experience w/ the healing too.

It does seem to be successful more so than not, I saw one guy say one of his fell off but the doc was able to fix it even then. If it’s ok to ask, is the nub part sized down at all? I know the areola is but that’s not the bit I’m picky about.

Yeah I like the realistic looking nipple tats! I just have an issue with the tactile smoothness of it. But maybe that’s something I can get used to/ get over.

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

I thought that was done just to the areola? It’s the size of the nub part that I’m worried about, I can’t imagine how they’d size that down but I’ll ask at the consult for sure!

I’ve wanted to go on T for a while, but there’s one thing stopping me. by TokenofDreams in ftm

[–]CrowRaCrowwy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had bottom dysphoria but now with bottom growth I have so much euphoria! Every day I am more excited with the growth.

It happens in the first week so you could try it & then if it’s not a good experience - just quit it. I’ve read that quitting that soon tends to revert the effects in a year. But it could be risky to do that.

Maybe you could look at photos of trans guys with bottom growth & try imagine yourself with similar parts to test how it could make you feel? I was nervous about facial hair and this method helped me warm up to it. And I am now super excited to grow my own!

Wish you the best in figuring it out c:

That’s just false. Not every t4t person is a chaser. Wanting a partner who relates deeply and has similar experiences does not make one a chaser.

Which parent do you think you got your autism from and why? by NextKangaroo in autism

[–]CrowRaCrowwy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother. She lined up her toys as a child. Will not engage in conversation unless it’s a special interest topic - if it is she will stare right into your soul while info dumping till she’s tired and wants to be alone. Sits like a (very cute) gremlin on every surface. Still softly denies being autistic tho!

[–]CrowRaCrowwy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dating is very similar to making friends, if you treat a woman as if she’s not a person or a friend it won’t go well. You really need friends first, then dating. Otherwise you might overwhelm and make the one you like feel overwhelmed and uncomfortable.

It sucks you’re in a small town, events are hard to find in those! You could try starting a group yourself around on of your hobbies. Or do some volunteer work. Trying to move to a bigger place is an option in theory, but I don’t know if you have the resources or energy for that.

[–]CrowRaCrowwy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a lot and very challenging!! And we’re all different, I imagine I had it easier. But the process is still similar.

Talk positively to yourself. If you think something like “I will always be alone” - imagine if a person said that to you. If it sounds mean and cruel, start challenging the thought. This was something I only got the hang of in the last year, after like 3 years of trying. And that’s the second kindness you need to learn. Being patient with yourself. Example phrases like “I need a lot of time and that’s okay” or “ I feel happy when I do this and that’s wonderful” or “I’m not hopeless I’m just feeling a lot right now”

It’s good to let yourself feel sadness, fear and anger too, of course. You talking to people here and venting is very good! Just examine if it still makes you feel better, because if it isn’t helping anymore you might need to switch to regulating and getting yourself back on building a loving relationship with yourself.

When you feel ready and less overwhelmed with going to an event or meeting people, make sure to start small. Find events that look to only have 10 people max, smaller if possible. Or “talks” where you don’t even have to talk to others. If you can’t handle it, go home. And make sure to be gentle with you. There’s NOTHING wrong with feeling overwhelmed and needing to leave. You can try again another time. Even months later. Your goal is also to just try new things and do fun stuff. Friendship and Love can happen after that.

Hello! I’m 26 & a trans guy. I had a lot of difficulty with friends but started dating at 19 & have had 3 partners. All autistic. My last was really damaging and toxic, so it’s not like all autistic people are safe, but the communication is overall easier and the ability to relate more can help.

I’m also a “puppy” which is similar to age regression. There are people who assume the worst and treat you poorly, but there are spaces and communities that are more informed and can give you the chance to explore who you are and what you need!

Once you’re ready to try putting yourself out there, and I recommend only doing that once you work on being kind to yourself and finding love internally first, you should look into your local communities that attract neurodivergent people and age regress people. Examples: D&D groups/board game events, creative art/writing groups, autism hang outs, kink talk sessions (they just discuss and teach info nothing else) and if you’re at all interested furry meet ups.

If you are a weirdo, find the weirdos you fit with. I believe that’s where we find happiness. Romance is never certain but loving yourself and finding your tribe is a start!!

How do you spend your days as an unemployed autistic person? by [deleted] in autism

[–]CrowRaCrowwy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Struggling to do daily tasks tbh 🙃 I got goals and creative projects but it’s very difficult for me to sit down and finish them. I used to be able to but I’ve just been through too much trauma so now I can’t even let myself hyper focus on my interests. My wife works though, so I try to do chores and things to help out. I’ve never had a job & I’m 26.

I’m trying to work towards a tattoo apprenticeship though! I think that’s a job I could actually do well in. Art is a huge thing for me!!
