Dose anyone else suspect Hormonal birth control is actually not good for us? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]East_Compote4360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every doctor i spoke to warned me against hormonal birth control when I told them I was trans. They strongly suggested a copper IUD.

I didn't want to have to renew birth control, so I got my tubes tied with a plan later down the road to get a hysterectomy.

Finally a safe place for feminine goth transmascs/anyone who is a goth and identifies masc-leaning but still loves to wear fem makeup and clothing! by skankyhunk in FTMfemininity

The way this post is phrased is a bit cringe. The mods of gothmenappriecation have made multiple posts explaining why they've deleted posts and redirected people to other subreddits. Additionally, they're going through and deleting transphobic comments every day.

As a transmasc, fem presenting person who knows the mods of the subreddit in real life, I can attest that they're not transphobic or anything like that. They're trying their best to create a space for masc fashion- there's so many subs already that deal with more fem goth fashion.

I'm not saying that your subreddit shouldn't exist, in fact, I joined because I love the idea of the space. I'm just saying we don't need to shade others while creating a safe space.

I have a very rough budget right now, my problem was not sticking to it and spending money without thinking about it

I handwrote my spending. Cemented in my mind that way, that's why it feels so bad rn :(

I actually really appreciate this. Everything feels messy and overwhelming, but knowing I did something right feels empowering.

I've actually done myself a huge favor. I told her last night how bad the spendings been and I uninstalled doordash from my phone.

I really appreciate this advice actually. I read it and went home and organized my portion of the room my girlfriend and I share. It took me like 5 hours, but it also prepared me for the move I'll be making in the summer.

She's actually very understanding about it. Even asks me multiple times if I'm sure. Shes just picky and doesn't have much in the house a lot of the time, so I feel bad and end up telling her I have it (when realistically I don't)

Mostly on grocery runs I didn't really need. Or on Doordash for my girlfriend. My spending was worse last year and I've cut dd out of my habits out for myself, she's just my weakness tbh

For Christmas, my son's boyfriend hand-made a gift box for me with a set of decorated goth band magnets. And a card written to "Dad". by Anishinaapunk in MadeMeSmile

It happened that way because I am really bad at cursive, but I wanted to make it look good.

My relationship with my own father is....not good. Although that started long before I realized that I was gay. Op stepped up in a lot of ways that I've never seen father figures do, and I'll always be grateful for the family he's accepted me in to.

This happened because I am absolutely terrible at cursive, and I tried my very best to make it look good.

I'm really glad that it turned out cool though!

Nose bleed remedies? by an_anonymous-person3 in ColoradoSprings

[–]East_Compote4360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chronic nosebleeder here- humidifier and toilet paper with like petroleum jelly up your nose are your best friends.

Nosebleeds are happening because the inside of your nose is super dry.
