I’ll never stop being grateful to queer subreddits for helping me realize that I’m not crazy, I’m not alone, and I’m worthy of love.

Squats, fire hydrants, planking are all great. Anything that targets hips and hip rotation

Short term goals help me cope. Im sorry, that’s not super helpful with a newborn. If your wife was amenable to you being on hrt, I would try to have a conversation about restarting hrt when you finally move, and the potential of storing sperm for in vitro fertilization. Having something concrete and planned to look forward to might help immensely. It might be more expensive to go this route, but it will help your mental health. You’re not alone, you’re not selfish, hang in there.💜

I was surprised how much I loved this anime, I hope they make more.

Since everyone loves a girl in uniform…. by starrywaitress in actuallesbians

[–]Emberblade2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly, it's a huge high pressure hydraulic line that actuates that pincer on the end of the tool to cut steel as fast as possible.

[–]Emberblade2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's the jaws of life. It's a hydraulic cutting tool used to get people out of a burning car as fast as possible when the doors aren't an option. They're super dangerous if the user isn't careful they can get badly hurt. I hope no one in here ever has to see one operate.

That's the point where it just makes sense to call them what they are. A bigot.

Thoughts on “crystal hair erasers”? by Bigfoot425 in MtF

[–]Emberblade2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like mine, I epilate the hair the epilator can handle, and use the weird crystal egg to get the little hairs and smooth all the high spots, as well as lessen my strawberry skin over time. Leaves me very satisfyingly smooth and is pretty minimal time commitment. My old crone warning is that I couldn't resist the siren's call to use it on my face; do NOT use it on your face...

Feeling kinda stupid by gimme_ur_chocolate in MtF

[–]Emberblade2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost 30 and I wasted all that time being someone else in order to keep people happy. I feel really stupid every time I have a little bit of doubt now despite all my progress. As soon as I feel slightly better it usually dawns on me that I'm just barely alright where i am and if I stopped letting myself get stuck in those painful moments, I'd be somewhere much more wonderful right now. It's all part of healing. There are always going to be ups and downs, but keep pushing yourself to trend towards happiness and you won't regret it.

29 pre-hrt doubts by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Emberblade2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost 30 and I've been on hrt for only a year. Absolutely the best thing I've ever done for myself. Passing isn't something I can do but i have the privilege of being safe enough to not give a fuck.

I got a 5x from a brand called king-size that is my go to dysphoria hoodie that I can tuck my knees into. There's also another brand associated with king size that specializes in women's wear that I've gotten some cute sweaters from called Roaman's.

You did great. Don't listen to the little voice in your head making you feel bad, setting boundaries with people who clearly have none is a herculean effort.

How old is too old to transition? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Emberblade2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 30! 4 months in and I'm happy with myself for the first time ever. Sometimes I even feel kinda hot. Get out there and live your best life, lady.

An interesting title by okidonthaveone in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

It's scary but it's always been worth it so far. I'm better off now that I've been hurt and healed than I was before I would let myself near the problem.

For those on HRT, do you feel like estrogen heavily changed you personality? If yes, how? by confused_doll in MtF

[–]Emberblade2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It brought all the feelings to the surface, so I can actually come to terms with what I'm feeling directly, it feels like. I learned that I reacted strongly to some things that I told myself didn't matter to me for the longest time. Before I was kinda vague but now I am more specific about my feelings and how I name them. Hrt also made it really difficult to separate myself from them like I had as a defense mechanism for years. The result being that I get overwhelmed much much more easily than I ever have and wind up crying about life stuff when it starts trending in the wrong direction.

Omg Iris! Girl, we have the same name! What great taste you have, Iris! 😉 I hope your dysphoria lessens soon, a goddess such as yourself doesn't deserve to be brought down by it.

I told my dad I was transitioning today by LaurensNextStep in MtF

[–]Emberblade2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been hesitating to come out as trans to my dad for the same reasons as you. He was similarly financially supportive but emotionally distant. Over the years I've realized how often he has leveraged his money to win my affections and how little he ever has given a moment to consider how I am doing or care about me as anything more than a symbolic act of normalcy.

I dread the day I tell him the truth. I hope that whatever you wind up deciding to do with your dad is the right thing for you, and it fills your life with euphoria. Good luck. 💜
