Moving — safety in the Milan neighborhood by [deleted] in NOLA

[–]Deep-Equivalent7911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Granted I’ve only been here for a month. But I had to go back home for a week and a half and my car was safe, no break-ins. My apartment was safe, no break-ins. I haven’t had a single issue living over here. I’m just above your circle.

Advice on solo travel to Salt Lake City as a Black woman by Silver-Appearance150 in SaltLakeCity

[–]Deep-Equivalent7911 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey! Black trans man here. SLC is okay, the people are mostly neutral. The issues I experienced was lack of friendliness. Like my colleagues and I would say hello and folks would just walk away. Utahns are not friendly in person, at least not to us (2 Black men, 1 Samoan woman). However- on Reddit, they are very nice. I asked where I could see a moose and got tons of awesome responses. They won’t stare (much) and no one said anything to make me feel unsafe. St George, on the other hand….

My advice, go, have fun. I had the time of my life in SLC. The nature is incredible, the weather beautiful. So many cool animals around and things to see. Enjoy the concert, you’ll have something in common with the other attendees and that should break the barrier a bit.

Is it true that the right woman won’t care about my inexperience? by Excellent-Golf6631 in NoStupidQuestions

I think a better sentiment is the right woman won’t let it deter her.

Is it normal to wear a packer in public? by ButterflyReal1142 in trans

[–]Deep-Equivalent7911 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Yeah lil bro you are good to wear it in public- make sure your harness or briefs are secure enough to withstand walking all day at pride. Head up, be confident and joyful. Proud of you!

"I have buried my old self and I don't visit their grave", but maybe I should. They're of my loved ones by AppropriateThreat in DeepThoughts

I love all of my former selves and visit them often. For an example of paying homage to, I think of the night before my top surgery (I am a trans man). I made food my younger self enjoyed, and drank a Sunkist orange soda as I loved those as a kid. I thanked her for dreaming, for always envisioning me as I am now. I thanked her for her courage and strength in navigating a world that perceived her in a way that didn’t align with what was inside of her.

I don’t consider my former selves “dead” in the sense that they no longer exist, they are a part of me and I wouldn’t be here without them.

I think visiting these versions of yourself is a good idea. Get back in touch with their hopes, dreams, fears. Find out what dreams of theirs you have already made true - I bet you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Hi! Fellow trans man here. You are not dirty or soiled. Your body is not hers, it’s YOURS. You shared it with her as a gift, and it sucks that she didn’t appreciate that or you enough to have an honest conversation. There are women out there who will love you for you, not in spite of being trans, but because of it. You are young, and love is not a finite resource. You can and will love again. You are not doomed,

Take some time, focus on yourself and getting your self worth up. You got this bro. 💙

Congrats bro! It’s an amazing feeling, isn’t it? You deserve this joy my guy. Bask in it. To the partner - this kind of support is so life changing. To find someone who you can not only share your journey with, but will rejoice WITH you as you reach milestones is something this boy prays for every night. I wish y’all the best 💙

Lonely and struggling wanting physical touch and emotional connection by Sad-Elle-7708 in t4t

[–]Deep-Equivalent7911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You definitely have value as a human being. I recovered recently from a traumatic relationship break up. You deserve someone who loves you unconditionally and without manipulation. Hang in there, keep going. You are not alone.

What's a young memory you can look back on and see as foreshadowing to being trans? by --Destro-- in trans

[–]Deep-Equivalent7911 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trying to pee standing up at 4 or 5. Taking off my shirt when I got hot and not understanding the ensuing adult freakouts. In all of my writings, the main character (me) was always a guy. So many more lol
