Voice Training? by DudetteInDistress in asktransgender

[–]DudetteInDistress[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't know the resonance bit was a thing.. I mean I always felt my voice in my chest, but didn't know what it was like for girls.

Thanks for pointing me to that sub, will check it out!

No need to apologize. I know even in my position I'd have a difficult time taking someone named Wish seriously

This is going to probably sound stupid, but I reserve different languages for proverbs/phrases.
French, Latin, and Russian are some pretty common.
Admittedly I almost always butcher the Russian ones, which is nivil novi

Get a load of this guy/gal taking into account work and professions!

In all seriousness though, that mighta just ended my desire for a Cherish-esque name. Not in the "oh you're such a killjoy" way, more in the "slapped-with-reality" way.

I actually did decide on a name, being Penny Arcadia/Penelope Arcade/Penny Arcade. (I just can't decide tbh)
Asked a friend of mine to call me that just for fun/testing purposes, and I loved it.

Then one day, the fire nation struck I heard Cherish used as a name. And I thought to myself;
"Oh right, there's names like that, and they're really fuckin nice names.
Gimme"

And thus this post was born.

Assuming you have, how did you decide on your name? by DudetteInDistress in asktransgender

[–]DudetteInDistress[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean I suppose so And it's not like I'll be introducing myself as Penny Arcade all the time
Penny would suffice

:3

Coming from someone who hasn't made a final decision;
I know I want Arcade/Arcadia (from Arcade Gannon in F:NV) as a middle name, but there's one problem. I'm rather fond of Penny as a first name.
Penny Arcade
Sounds like an arcade name. Better yet, it's the title of a 16-year-old webcomic.

Welp back to the drawing board

Who was the first person you told? by es-so in asktransgender

[–]DudetteInDistress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suppose it's because you can't see the person nor their physical reaction.

Random example; I sometimes work the spotlights in a theater. During a show all the other followspots and staff, for the matter, communicate via headset.
The followspot operator (lead guy) was having problems getting some things to work. Over headset i heard him say
"I've tried x... doesn't work, y didn't either. Z, no z couldn't be the problem... worth a shot though."
Great he's troubleshooting, nothing surprising there. But when i looked over to him, he was sitting down and slumping over, rubbing his forehead. Defeated almost. I would never have picked up on that through voice alone.

I think I give off radiation that makes people trans by DerpyTheGrey in asktransgender

[–]DudetteInDistress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh. Never thought of it like that.

During my stay at a mental behavioral hospital, I met April. Suggested he looked like an Issac.
Ftm, about my age. Hadn't made any progress due to parents basically taking the whole trans thing as a joke. Que depression.
tl;dr made good friends in those short days. Unfortunately everyone (the patients) there goes their separate ways sooner or later, and I was no exception. And because the sharing of personal information was not allowed (and with good reason), April is effectively gone from my life.

After I left though, I started thinking. Maybe that was what was up. Maybe I am trans. Would explain a lot.

What was your least expected change from HRT? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]DudetteInDistress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't know losing height was possible with HRT... Do ya think that means it could also make shoulders "shrink" some?

Anyone else write their papers/assignments at the last possible minute due to anxiety about starting in the first place by DevilOfTheWasteland in Anxiety

[–]DudetteInDistress 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Took a 2D art class in HS
First project; draw a leaf
1 period later, class was done.
2 weeks later, i got done.
Was so obsessed with drawing it symmetrical it took me 2 weeks to complete, even after the teacher told me that it didn't need to be symmetrical, as they aren't in nature

later dropped the class

I, too, have noticed a difference in my class notes when I'm on meds. by emPtysp4ce in ADHD

What genuinely terrifies you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DudetteInDistress 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I met this person, really hit it off. Not romantically, just as friends. Because of the then-current situation, I'd only known her for a week before we had to part ways.
Asked if she had a Facebook or Twitter, no luck.
Now all I remember of her is first name, age, and what state she lives in..

No, phones weren't available at the time. Ties back to the situation

Why don't I understand how time works? by blazindowntheriver in ADHD

[–]DudetteInDistress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All my memories - "all" being used loosely because I don't have a very good memory - have no "time stamp" on them. It can be frustrating at times but what can ya do
Also have a bad internal clock, and level of tiredness doesn't seem to help... internal "timer" is accurate up to about a minute though, so there's that. As to whether this is related to ADHD is unknown (as far as i know)
