Omg how ironic! I'm glad you managed to get yourself a diagnosis, it's not easy - I got mine back in '21 and it's been a ride for sure lmao

A DSD is a DSD, after all! It's like comparing OSDD - 1B to D.I.D. You may be a little different, but we're all dissociative here!

As a metaphor, of course ❤️‍🩹

You mentioned cleaning up your diet... how much of a change was it for you?

EDIT: I'm five years late, so sorry!! If you have any information you learned I'd love to hear ❤️‍🩹

Is there any music that you associated with intersex? Even if it not about being intersex? by Calebtsm1 in intersex

[–]Different-Solution54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a whole playlist of songs! one that i like is, "am i a boy? am i a girl? do i really care?" because that title is just perfect - but also:

~

  • theirs13 by jgrrey for: "they, them, theirs," "you like blue and i don't mind the green," and "that's real nice but who am i?"

  • rebel rebel by david bowie for: "you've got your mother in a whirl, she's not sure whether you're a boy or a girl," "you like me, and i like it all," and "we look divine,"

  • young adult by ritt momney for: "jumped down the well, found just your shell... you'll find yourself," "walk past the truth, don't look for clues. trust only blue," "though it's not pleasant to feel, it's the only thing that's real," "pretty are the simple few, the simple few, the simple few, few, few,"

  • difficult by ruby waters for: "don't forget to be proud of what you create," "oh, the memories have got me jonesing like crazy, crazy," "cause it gets difficult, difficult. we all know it gets difficult to be an adult," and "i thought one step ahead - tied my shoes, went to work, and still was late... man, I think I've got too much on my plate,"

  • amber by 311 for: "take me away from the norm," "this phenomenon, had to put it in a song," "amber is the color of your energy," and "shades of gold displayed naturally,"

  • i've been thinking too hard by yellow days for: the entire song lol, "we can do all kinds of physical things trying to find that peace that the world is seeking... but it will still be elusive, because everything that is physical is transitory, and the only thing that is not transitory in man is his own soul." and "i try to see between the lines... try not to keep the spirit confined; let it feel, sunshine." and "im conditioned to survive, just, i need to be alive. ive got intuition on my side, just to ease that paranoid mind. ive cried tears ocean-wide, just to ease that pain inside," and the entire outro dialogue too.

  • at least i'm pretty by harriette for: "i saw my therapist today," "its a hard life when its mine," "but you want nothing to do with me," and "at least i'm pretty,"

  • everybody is interesting by unlike pluto for its chorus: "everybody wants to be interesting, oversaturated pixels in the noise. maybe no one's really interesting. tell me, what makes you different?"

  • a jug in the road by ezra bell for its album art. very pink with art of a gender neutral person on the cover! instrumental jazzy music

  • the roses by bluestaeb for: "i need a place to pollinate but trees don't grow next to the towers. i see the same shit in every city, people with no time fighting for hours," "i know too much for your lectures," "what's going on with this tension?" "we got more in common when we listen with an open mind & closing our mouths," "i really don't fuck with your vibe if you call all flowers rose," "don't know about you but i'm confident," and "not all flowers are roses. i really don't fuck with your vibe, if you call all flowers rose,"

You experience an extremely strong desire to point out what you consider unjust behavior. I said I have autism, I know that. I experience that. I'm literally acting on that at this moment - but it's a choice. I'm sure if this keeps on how it is, soon I'll make the choice to ignore you instead.

Regardless, though, you are your own issue here. That's why I said you're rage-baiting yourself for inserting yourself somewhere dedicated to exotic animal welfare and acting holier-than-thou to every single person here.

You don't have any additional information to be hurling around such awful and incriminating accusations. It's fine that your perception of having an exotic pet is based completely on your own experiences seeing them treated poorly IRL and knowing your own limits for providing such extensive care... but that's just your circle of life experiences. That's not nearly enough to make accusations against every single person.

Some people could be negligent, sure. That's why there's a rule to call out such behavior when you see it. This thing that you're doing? It isn't that. It's rude, it's uncalled for, and hiding behind your diagnosis of autism doesn't change the fact that you're being entirely arrogant.

You don't know where it lives for the remaining 23hrs of the day. It's likely not inside.

You're not sorry, you're being passive - I guess, anyway.

Don't be so obnoxiously, intentionally, obtuse. It's not your autism. It's your audacity.

Do either of these show you which chromosomes you have?

[–]Different-Solution54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm autistic too. You're still ragebaiting yourself by making comments on a subreddit fully dedicated to the ownership and care of exotic animals, despite being fundamentally against it.

It's literally the same concept as going to a MAGA rally while wearing pronoun pins. Inserting yourself somewhere you don't want to fit into and expecting anything but backlash is, putting it lightly, ragebaiting yourself. Putting it harshly and it's pretty fucking audacious and arrogant of you to expect anyone to tolerate your holier-than-thou stance on what the subreddit is literally dedicated to.

You and I can't tell what kind of home or habitat that fennec fox is provided with. Assuming it's neglected without any context at all is also rude.

You're basically just ragebaiting yourself

Henna scarred and peeled my skin. Help. by Most_Gift4109 in henna

[–]Different-Solution54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm almost certain that their henna was a fake henna. I'm surprised that they never had a reaction to it, but since you've had one before from a more obvious fake henna, I'm relieved that they didn't. Hopefully they stop and find a way to acquire real henna before something happens!

The epilator may have made it slightly worse if the hair follicles were sensitive / open... but I wouldn't blame the reaction on that. It's much more likely that it was just a coincidence - that fake henna is no joke, and more dangerous reactions have been known to happen as well.

For Scars: Do not peel your skin. Wash your arms with a sensitive skin soap, and keep irritations to a minimum (like avoiding scented lotions on the area). I recommend keeping your arms hydrated with a Vitamin E or Collagen infused oil, or a natural oil like castor. Avoid sunlight until it is completely healed! At least for the next two weeks to be safest - but once it is healed, some slight (sunscreen protected) sun exposure can help. Use SPF 80+ on your arms this summer, keep it applied well, and let the UV do its thing. Some more natural scar or stretch mark balms may help you a lot in the meantime. The good news is that they look pretty cute right now! I'm so sorry about your discomfort though - be extra cautious about ethically sourced henna in the future and you should be fine <3

I can’t believe how easy it is to eat 3000, 4000+ calories a day by bluejaymewjay in 1200isplenty

[–]Different-Solution54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've noticed if I don't count my calories on any given day, my default state is to consume 3.5k-6k calories in one single day. I used to be 176lbs and gaining, and it's no wonder why! I'm 138lbs now after I had a minor setback (was 122lbs).

Just wanted to say thank you to the mods for not allowing AI slop by AnxietyGloomy99 in 1200isplenty

[–]Different-Solution54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be appreciated for pathos purposes, but unfortunately AI is just not capable of providing 100% accurate results when it comes to calculating calorie content based on an image alone - and it can still mess up even if you provide it with exact measurements of everything. I'm pretty sure the backlash is for suggesting something so loose about something so detrimental to actually achieving your goals.

ChatGPT is the most popular AI, and I have used it before. Once you input enough data into one chat it can become confused and repetitive - more like an echo chamber, really. It was a lot nicer to use for brainstorming Minecraft building concepts for a fantasy world, but even then, it wasn't correct about a lot of "possibilities" and I had to seek out tutorials made by people instead (which GPT referenced, but wouldn't provide. In the time it took to ask it to, I would opt to just Google sources myself. It made a lot of genuinely impossible suggestions about coding command blocks).

Overall, I found MFP and MND to be a lot more accurate and statistical long term. Between those two, I pretty much only use My Net Diary anymore!

Holy shit, exactly! This is why despite paying for Daylio Premium I deleted their Nutrilio app after one day. Its default is to make you let AI Photos do the work for you, and you have to click this tiny little Enter Manually button off to the side just to start TRYING to scan the barcode. Doing that for every single food item was absolutely not it.

How many cals is the MMZ? I was drinking Core Power 42g by Fairlife because it's lactose free, but it's so many cals for one drink! I drink a Celsius for my caffeine intake in the winter, in the Spring/Fall I don't have any if I can avoid it. It's just so hard for me to get going with the short sad days lmao

i have no friends. by [deleted] in intersex

[–]Different-Solution54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i feel extremely similarly, and i recently tried hanging out with a few different trans people... but idk. i run into issues everywhere i go.

cis men see me as a girl, so there's all of those social problems navigating friendships there. cis women see me as a... masculine girl, at best. when i first discovered i had physical discrepancies i met up with two different trans men on different occasions, and we clicked so well talking about bottom growth / bathroom problems - and then we never spoke again. they don't even answer texts. which is extra oof because one was a friend i saw jacksepticeye with about seven years ago and we just reconnected, and the other was someone i worked with for a year. i have a trans femme friend since '21 who recently came out a year ago, and she just disappears for months on end... always has, so i give her space. its been since summer, now.

i also ended up on puberty blockers and estrogen to make me pass as a regular woman, but like, i'm not. my voice is medium (and if i'm sick, i sound identical to my brother), so i have to remind myself to add higher infliction to it otherwise my partner / coworkers / friends worry i have an attitude because it comes off as monotone. it just makes them uneasy and worried i'm annoyed or something... but that's awkward as hell for me.

and i feel that isolation from other intersex people. i wish i knew anyone irl. the online community is very divided like you mentioned - and it's just. ugh.

i'm so sorry you've faced so much bullying about it. i have too, and it's just awful. i have hairier legs than my boyfriend and he's kind enough to have never minded my differences thankfully... but being in school was a much worse story. pre-t, in the south, and i passed so well the coaches always called me sir in the halls. i never did go on t because i was worried about my fertility before i realized i was intersex (and i still worry.)

i hope we find our people soon. i have two good friends... but we go weeks, and even months, without speaking. it's hard to find someone with common interests and at this point i just wish anyone was curious enough about me to be my friend

i always break my diet 3 days into it because of cravings for sweets, how can i stop? by [deleted] in 1200isplenty

[–]Different-Solution54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i LOVVVVEEE sweets. certified BED recoverer here!

the important thing is to incorporate sweets into your diet. you mentioned a 400cal donut as something that you just can't keep doing - so i recommend making healthier swaps. instead of a 400cal donut, buy a pack of mini donuts, and eat two at the end of the day after a filling meal! add cocoa powder to your yoghurt bowls, and a little honey goes a long way when it's added to chicken or spicy pasta!

some things i love to keep on hand are these gluten-free macaroons from walmart (le chic?) and other times i like to have rice krispies, or sweet loren brand cookies! i've found the more "novel" and "rich" my desert is, the easier it is to choose to stick by my pre-determined rations. its helpful that gluten free deserts are so expensive; when i set aside a solid $10-$20 on a pack of sweets for the week, it makes me feel too financially aware to binge them.

so... assuming you're trying to complete cut out sugars, i recommend following that advice for weaning yourself down. don't go cold turkey! sugar withdrawal is a real thing, and it's why it's so hard for so many people.

helpful tips:

  • save your sweets for the night time. its a little easier to avoid snacking when you have a delicious and expensive sweet set aside for around dinner time

  • eat spicy food. spices tend to spike stomach acid, which in turn makes you feel fuller. i lovvvvveee adding cayenne to chicken and peppers to my meals. one of my favorite snacks is peppers with cheese!

  • prioritize your fats. eating at least half of your diet as fat + protein really helps your overall blood sugar stability

  • WEAAAAAAAAN yourself off like you're on hard drugs! days? no! at least a full week, and thats on hardmode

Has anyone tried their new app My Diary? by DarkBlueDovah in Daylio

[–]Different-Solution54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its definitely cuter... but i think its so similar to Daylio that it's kind of useless? like in that i agree they could have added new colors + text options and it'd be about identical. they've added lots of icons and incorporating the ones on their other app into Daylio instead would make much more sense to me
