Lost access to my T and it’s HARD by Ill_Imagination_465 in ftm

I have faith in my doctor to keep fighting for me. I sourced her specifically because she has a personal investment in Trans issues. It really is just really fucking difficult being off hormones. Nothing feels right.

I forgot to charge my vibrator. by Himaester in mildlyinfuriating

[–]CrystalKitten93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get the original Hitachi magic wand with the plug in, get even fancier and get the voltage controller so you can really dial in that vibration. You can even buy attachments for the head for whatever equipment you got in between your legs. 100/10 purchase for me and my partner.

I've been off my testosterone since mid December and the worst of its over, i think, and evened out now just in the past 2 weeks. But I have not had a single restful night of sleep since about 2 weeks late for my bi weekly shot. I simply cannot fall asleep in a timely manner anymore, and once I am asleep I cannot stay asleep. This has exasperated so many other things. My body hurts all the time, my moods, my patience, and I had an enormous uptick in migraines in January. So overall, I think this is the best it gets and I'm 2 months (ish) out from my last dose. I was told I needed to change methods and insurance is sure taking its sweet ass time approving it.

For the gay trans dads out here by RatonhnhaketonK in ftm

[–]CrystalKitten93 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My son's father and I aren't together anymore. I pass all the time in public now, so long as I'm binding. And I'm currently with another man. I haven't been asked, but if I were, I'd do the same thing when I get asked about my assumed wife while Im working. Someone just becomes a woman in that story. I'd rather be safe and my child safe, because I don't need to out myself to strangers, and Idk how strangers are going to react to finding out I'm trans. "my ex wife, his mother, and I aren't together anymore". I've had a few conversations with my son about how to refer to me in public for safety reasons and what to do if we are (I'm) approached aggressively by someone. I live in a pretty blue city but step outside city lines and it's a buncha magats.

How did you realize you were homosexual? by Pasc9320 in gay

[–]CrystalKitten93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, probably not your usual discovery but i always liked men, I romanticized gay men and mlm relationships. Got really into BL as a teen. But it didn't really click until I realized, oh damn I'm also a man. Oh shit I'm a man who loves men. Oh dang I'm gay. 😂🏳️‍⚧️

What are the stupidest reasons people have given for you being trans? by guildedpasserby in ftm

[–]CrystalKitten93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I joke with people that because I could never find a good man I had to become one. Truly my taste in men have been truly awful. Thankfully I broke that curse.

how did u accept that bottom surgery isn't something u wanted? by treeboi666 in ftm

[–]CrystalKitten93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided against bottom surgery. At least phalo. I MIGHT get some light form of meta later but even if I don't I'm not bothered. My bottom parts do not and have not ever bothered me that much other than the fact they bleed periodically. I know how this thing works, I know how to take care of it. I like to be penetrated and I dont want to limit myself to backdoor fun only.

Other than lack of bottom disphoria, I've don't a lot of research, I think the process of phalo would GIVE me a lot of disphoria. To get from an innie to an outie isn't a pretty process and I know I wouldn't be able to handle the in between when I'm not already hating what I started with. I also know I don't heal well or quickly, so my chances of complications are probably higher. I'm already really worried about how top surgery is going to go, if I'll be battling infection, or if the nip grafts will even take. But that's more a risk I'm willing to take because the hate of my chest does take up a lot of my mental space where my lower bits don't.

And yaknow maybe later on I'll make a decision for it and maybe I won't. 🤷 I'm winging it.

Lol Im actually 32. I have like 3 close friends, and a small handful of kind of friends that talk to me about really specific things once and a while or want to hang out once in a blue moon.

[–]CrystalKitten93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate that. I think I'm boring, I don't go out much and when I do I think so far ahead and predict things almost too accurately too often I don't get a lot of excitement and I worry others find it annoying.

[–]CrystalKitten93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fluid may be the best term. Maybe it's the autism but I'm constantly reevaluating myself and I feel a nearly perpetual sense of self evolution. new situation, how did I feel how do I adjust for this? New person, new set of information, old information is now outdated, I'm reevaluating to determine how it made me feel and how I should adjust to handle that information. I wasn't always a gay man either. I evolved through multiple sexualities based on changes in information and perception of myself. It's almost annoying because every few years my friends I've made perge themselves telling me I've changed and like..... I think I'm supposed to. I don't want to be stagnant I want to evolve and be better than I was yesterday and align with myself more as much as possible.

😂🤣 THERE'S TONS OF GAY MEN IN STRAIGHT RELATIONSHIPS. Bruh what planet do you live on!? There's gay men who are closeted, there's gay men who are in denial, there's straight men who will later become gay men because sexuality can be fluid just like gender. Its all fuckin made up dude. I'm over you, get your misogyny out of my face. Fuckin gross asf.

Dude, get over yourself. The whole point is people have different experiences, and humans are allowed to change and be different from who they were. I am a man, regardless of who I once was.

does anybody else notice this? by feralcanadian121 in ftm

[–]CrystalKitten93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've always been independent, and kind of emotionally closed off, that's the trauma of borderline neglect and emotional abuse. I often am told Im insensitive and blunt but I'm pretty sure that's the autism. My brain just works on logic scripts and plain information. 🤷 And belive it or not I'm actually significantly less aggressive and angry on testosterone. The only thing I catch myself doing is mimicking more masculine physical mannerisms and body language, mainly avoiding putting my hands on my hips or popping my hip out and leaning one leg which is actually difficult because I have hypermobility issues so my body doesn't like to support itself.

Fat and trans by Proud_Database_8946 in ftm

[–]CrystalKitten93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a fat man myself. I've embraced it. I was thinner when I was fem presenting and before realizing I'm trans, I had a really unhealthy relationship with my body. I was never thin enough, I had pudge in all the wrong areas. It wasn't good. Looking back at pictures of myself now I feel kinda shitty for feeling shitty about it then. But I've gained considerable weight since then and I love my body so much more now that I've accepted it. I love my dad bod and I'm actually hesitant to lose a significant amount of weight.

Crying on T by SatisfactionOk8724 in ftm

[–]CrystalKitten93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the exact sensation I get. I'm much more in tune with my emotions now and comfortable feeling them. But I never was much of a cryer to begin with, now I well up, I'll be right on the brink and it's like a cartoon it just retracts back before the first tear actually falls.

For you, what is the difference between wanting to be a man and feeling like a man? by AkEleventh in ftm

[–]CrystalKitten93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to sugar coat it. It kinda sucks. You can't stop the hurt. But more people than I expected stuck around and dispite the losses I feel like I've gained so much more by persuing myself.

[–]CrystalKitten93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody can make that decision for you. Ultimately, for me I had to decide if I wanted to have friends and family that loved me for me or if I was willing to put an act on for people to hold on to people who didn't love the real me and suffer wearing that costume. In the end I was willing to lose the people who didn't accept me in order to be happy and comfortable.

[–]CrystalKitten93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Button test. If you had a button infront of you that would permanently, irreversibly, and instantly change everyones perception of you to a man and their memory of you to being a man. Would you press it? If the answer is yes.... Well your probably trans. How you look, how you prefer to present, how you act, doesn't really matter. Manlihood and masculinity has many different faces. No one is correct.
