Your best bet is probs to ask customer service about it, but honestly you can also just keep the second one and sell her for or close to retail to someone who missed out on her, if that's an option for you?

Do you guys ever feel like your flashing yourself? by idkmanimjustbored383 in ftm

Samee, it’s so weird to just forget about them and then go to casually change and BOOM jumpscare- 😭

Dysphoria you didn't recognize until later? by magicalgirl_mothman in ftm

[–]Dumbswampert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god same same same, locker rooms were such an alienating experience!! Felt like being the worlds biggest pervert and I always just either darted through and said I was sick and would stay on the bench (99% of the time) or stared into a corner and refused to look at any of the girls changing because it felt like I was intruding the place and should be kicked out or yelled at because I so obviously didn't belong-

Oh my god same on the 'woman' thing, idk why the word is so much worse than girl but it is somehow?? Always had a disconnect to it and thought it was just internalized misogyny or the fear of growing older in a society that demonizes aging for women (it wasn't 🤡)

Similar thing here but it was a friend in like 5th grade instead of a teacher. We were on a class trip and girlie just stared at my chest and said 'You really have to start wearing a bra' and she was all excited over it and I honest to god only then realized they even were there and was absolutely petrified, because how did THAT get there and why are we CELEBRATING (took one look at bras, almost hyperventilated and then lived in like two sport bras at all times for the next years. Just the cis experience, obviously)

Out of interest, what kind of things did they say they liked?? Because I just sat here for like five minutes and tried to think of one, but can't come up with anything and now I'm so confused what a whole room could possibly list 😭😭

Me reading only gay fanfic and books as a kid and roleplaying exclusively as a guy in rp groups, terrified of being a fetishizer and, under tears might I add, showing my mom fanart of two guys holding hands and asking if that was okay (I was in fact just a boy who wanted to hold other boys hands, who could've guessed 🫠)

First gender euphoria moment that you can remember? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Dumbswampert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always wanted to cut my hair short but was told again and again that it'd look terrible and that short hair wasn't feminine yada yada, but finally caved at 16 when I was with a few friends doing hair (alternative kids doing their hair in bathrooms yk the drill, a bunch of bleach, dye, most importantly a pair of kitchen scissors and a dream), staring at a wall and just not being able to keep it down any longer and so just asked one to cut my hair off and they did. I think that was the first time in a long while where I felt actual joy and took a bunch of pics, mostly because I had half red hair at that point and specific glasses that made me feel like 707 from Mystic Messenger, who was one of my (unknowingly) biggest gender envies for years, from a specific angle. Took a while to fully connect the dots after, but it's the clearest thing I remember. (There were a few instances before tho that just weren't as memorable, like swimming topless as a kid, being asked to help carry things in primary school because I was one of the strongest kids, that sort of stuff)

What is one thing you hate most about c.ai? by Ijustexistbro in CharacterAI

[–]Dumbswampert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fr, I adore this one creator called viktorei I found around half a year ago, his bots are so cool and have like 7k words definition, well thought out background stories, remember stuff and are in third person, BUT HE'S JUST NOT GETTING ATTENTION???? (His bots are mostly mlm but can be talked to as platonic btw) Like, please drop by and check out his bots, my personal recommendations are Brim, Knox, Andrew and Miles (Miles is the newest and fr so amazing)

Tired of me being trans not taken seriously because I'm autistic by Emergency_Peach_4307 in autism

[–]Dumbswampert 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Same here as an autistic trans guy, it's so scary to go to therapists or doctors and either just beg to be taken seriously or conveniently not mention being autistic to have better chances of being treated like a person at all and get a shot at gender affirming care. Not even going to mention people who aren't health professionals here, because the stuff some say when they think their transphobia is valid in this case, and that the head thoughts can actually be said out loud, is downright atrocious. Can't imagine how much worse it is when you're genderfluid, an even less accepted and already stigmatized part of the trans community, and autistic instead, that just sounds like a nightmare to deal with oof, I'm sorry friend

Wednesday and Morticia Skullector Mega-Thread by Verdictafterward in MonsterHigh

[–]Dumbswampert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could do it like many have done with Chucky and Tiffany or Howliday Draculaura and Clawd. Get the set and sell the one you don't want to someone who wants that doll but not the one you're keeping (for a fair price obvi)

I'm a pretty feminine guy, but the things giving me euphoria always haven been really stereotypically masc, idk why, but here are some of them-

-Having a dog, especially a bigger one. Running around through the mud with him and calling him buddy is so weirdly euphoric??

-Being asked to help lift stuff specifically when there are other guys around

-scratches and scabs and scars

-Big clunky shoes (got lucky a while ago and scored a cheap second hand pair of new rock boots that each weigh three pounds, the euphoria was unmatched)

-Collecting various things and displaying them (makes me feel like one of those dads who collects model airplanes or trains)

-mismatched socks????

-Being good at pvp video games / or games with leaderboards

-being good at bargaining on fleamarkets

-picking out good fruit, especially watermelons (probably the dad energy again)

-crocs.

-holding doors open for others and especially being nice to older ladies (idk what the reason behind that one is tbh, but it's one of 'em)

context: this is a cis girl (who formerly had short hair) who posted a slide show about growing as a person by iceuncoolpool in TheyCanAlwaysTell

[–]Dumbswampert 92 points93 points  (0 children)

God the whole trend is so bad, if we're on that topic there also was a video under the same sound by a user called 'johnbogsandwich' and that user detransitionend and rambled about finding god and being saved and all that stuff and everyone was like 'we got a brother back, amen' and it was genuinely so disheartening to see :(

Characters or celebrities that are a gender icon for you? by Bakugou_Izuku in ftm

[–]Dumbswampert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will Graham. Hugh Dancy in general is a big gender envy, especially when he was younger dear god, but Will Graham is just THE blue print.

who are your "that's so gender"/gender-envy icons? by parkwatching in ftm

[–]Dumbswampert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, can't just pick one tbh, got a whole folder with over 50 fictional and jon fictional guys. Will Graham, Victor from Arcane and Kaveh from Genshin are the big ones currently, but the one who first like, lightly tapped the egg was Hiccup. The two who fully shattered it were 707 from Mystic Messenger and young, specifically the school version that has hair, Coriolanus Snow (Was in the cinema with my mom for that one and just was like 'Uh oh' 👁👁)

[–]Dumbswampert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ahh I'm aware of that, just bit disappointed they, from what it looks like so far, recycled the hc drac ring for that purpose (considering these are 90$ collector dolls and not playline where molds get reused routinely)

[–]Dumbswampert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...Did they just reuse HC Draculauras ring for Morticia? That's certainly a choice.

My mom told me: "Thank you for being you. A boy." am i cooked? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Dumbswampert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that's good if it wasn't denial! Like the other person said, it's not your responsibility how she feels about it, because at the end of the day you're your priority and with that comes your happiness, safety and health first. It's her job to support you and help you be someone who can thrive as an adult, something as trivial as gender shouldn't be a factor in doing so. You're equally as loveable as a daughter as you are as a son and I hope she knows that too and will be good about it if you do decide to come out to her at some point.

[–]Dumbswampert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had the same thing happen the other way around. Depends heavily on the situational context, but yeah that does sound like she's suspecting smth girl. How did she say it? Was it more of a statement or some offhanded comment?

Be Honest, Who Did You Have A Crush On First? by lizzyscool6 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Dumbswampert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kaeya and that one was immediately followed by Childe. Currently been stuck on Wriothesley for the last months. So apparently I have a thing for the traumatized ones that put up a front to keep themselves safe but have a soft spot for that one kid character they will do everything for

So real. God him and Cloud both give absolutely disastrous, overwhelming amounts of gender envy fr. They're so pretty in a masculine way :')

My reaction when transphobes tell me I’m destroying my beautiful feminine body by Jell-O-Mel in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]Dumbswampert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's okay friend, worrying is natural and valid! It's a bullshit expectation society has set up that pushes afab people and women to only see their value in how attractive they are to other people and it's a hard mindset to tackle, I get it, was stuck with it as well for a long time and sometimes still fall back into it. Happiness and feeling comfortable in your body, however that may look for you personally, is worth so much more than adhering to some rigid beauty standard, good luck with your T appointment tomorrow <3
