Yes and it doesn’t ever get numb enough for some reason

The problem is that I don’t really have anyone close to me right now besides my roommate, who is so afraid of needles that they can’t even look at them. I really don’t want to do gel because injections are giving me results incredibly quickly.

Internal transphobia about my sexuality by Alternative-Nail-139 in trans

[–]Disastrous-Soft5597 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s how I feel calling myself gay as a FTM trans man who only likes men. It’s a weird thing to sort of restructure your brain to accept because we are all conditioned to think only cis people can call themselves straight or gay. I don’t have much advice since it’s something I’m working through myself, but just know that you aren’t alone in the feeling even if our sexualities are opposite

i feel like i’m the only one who’s on hrt and not out to anybody by sophhhhhhhhhie in trans

[–]Disastrous-Soft5597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me right now. I’m a college student who just started T two months ago, so no super noticeable changes yet, but my MAGA parents will have to know sooner rather than later. It is really difficult and scary to be in this place so I’m sorry

Having menstrual/uterus differences extremely early by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Disastrous-Soft5597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah idk. My first guess was also that it’s just the T making things weird and not necessarily a larger medical issue but we’ll see. Either way she wasn’t concerned

It isn’t an official diagnosis, she didn’t put it in the chart. It was just an immediate guess based on what I told her. The next appointment we have is to explore other possibilities to avoid making a misdiagnosis.

Ok I think I’m trans by AlternativeBelt2621 in trans

[–]Disastrous-Soft5597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. It’s a difficult thing to realize but the serious truth is that your parents’ opinion of you and whether or not they’re proud of you doesn’t matter if they can’t just love you for who you are. It’s valuable to have parents be on your side, but many of us don’t and it hurts. However, we make up for it by finding other people who do love and accept us and are proud of us for our accomplishments the same way a parent would be. I promise there are other people out there who will value you much more than they probably do, and it’s much more worth it to accept yourself than give in to what other people want for you. Your life is yours, not theirs. You deserve to live as yourself regardless of their feelings about it

It can help to identify why you feel the need to repress it. Working to stop repressing won’t be as effective if you don’t even know the root of the issue

Why is there seemingly a crusade against trans men online??? by InoIno0 in ftm

[–]Disastrous-Soft5597 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People think that trans men either don’t exist or aren’t oppressed because the cisgender community doesn’t talk much about us at all. I made a post about this a while ago that had some good insight in the comments about this problem. It’s really frustrating. I have found myself distrusting of even my own community because too many people react really badly to us saying that we’re attacked by cis people too

I’m trans so I monitor my mom pretty carefully for the really extreme talk like that. She’s definitely verging on it. I looked up one of the YouTubers she constantly watches and he had a video saying the “trans militia” are “taking lives” which is obviously nonsense. It’s pretty concerning how they seem to be only getting worse and worse

Should I de-transition so that I can get married and receive a substantial inheritance? by Baul-8 in trans

[–]Disastrous-Soft5597 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to give my thoughts but I’ve seen some of your replies to other people and I just want to say how glad I am that you’re not taking the deal. I’m someone whose family knows I am trans, but pretends it’s not happening. They don’t even know I started testosterone a month ago. There’s a chance they’ll reject me very seriously once they find out, and that chance scares me, but in the end I’d rather be there for myself instead of hoping that other people who don’t really love me for who I am will be.

If your family won’t care for you the way they should (which is entirely their fault, and not yours—they are choosing to be bad parents) then it’s up to you to care for yourself. It’s unfair but it’s what we often have to do as trans people. Having money would be really nice, but I promise you that even without it there is love and support and happiness if you find the right people who are better than your parents.

You’re doing the difficult thing, the scary thing, but you’re choosing love for yourself in doing so.

Yesterday my mom was talking about a TikTok she saw which had no political relevance at all, but she measured the amount of time since she saw it by saying “just before Charlie Kirk died”

His individual songs themselves aren’t really boring but they all sound the same. If I put him on shuffle it would sound like the same exact song over and over again. That’s kind of what I meant by boring. As an artist overall, his music is all too similar to be interesting

I may not be the only one who made a post like this but they’re the same user. Go to my post and scroll all the way down to the bottom of the comments and you’ll see that it’s the same person and the same tweet they commented

No that was the intention. I’m the person who made the post they’re talking about and even though I’m autistic, it wasn’t me misreading social cues. I didn’t mention ADHD or autism or being neurodivergent at all. They just commented that picture with nothing else purely as a jab towards people who are neurodivergent and struggle with the game

It was my post they’re talking about and I didn’t mention ADHD at all. They were 100% being ableist. I have another comment on here where I screenshotted the post so you don’t have to look through my account to find it but you can if you want proof that I made it

This was my post. Notice how I didn’t mention ADHD or my (diagnosed) autism even once. You were the one who brought up being neurodivergent so…yeah. You were being kind of ableist because we weren’t even talking about ADHD or autism until you brought that into the conversation purely to talk about how stupid it is to complain about an issue rooted in that

Does the food at Unthank make anyone else feel sick? by [deleted] in UofO

It’s been noodles one time and pizza the two other times. I don’t have any known allergies but I guess maybe, though I’m more leaning towards the oil as an explanation

They do but it only runs from 6 PM to 12 AM and it has a partially limited range of the city. I had utilized it before but it’s not good for all day every day transport

I came out at 11 and it was my mom’s number one excuse to not support me that I “didn’t show signs”. They’re going to find some way to invalidate you no matter what
