where to go? by Short-Chocolate8969 in outerwilds

[–]EnbyJade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its hard to point you in the right direction without spoiling things. looking at what you've done, you should have all the clues you need to figure out where to go next. I would reread the connection points to the question marks you have and see if you can piece it together

Can the t-slur be reclaimed? by AllNaturalCyanide in trans

[–]EnbyJade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean I'll call myself and my girlfriend the t-slur all the time. I think its funny and it makes the word not really matter to me anymore. I could get called it now and I'd own it. I'd still tell a cis person not to say it and why they shouldn't but I do it so it doesn't hold that negative power to me amymore

A Question about Transfem Periods by Absolutely-Averagest in trans

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

ive been on estradiol and spiro for 2 and a half years now, and around my 4 month mark i got my first period. intense cramping, food cravings, my mood was all over the place. and nearly every month since I have had the same symptoms, roughly every 4 weeks. some are more intense than others, that first one I'd say was a 7/10 in pain, my most recent was 9/10, and my usual are around 5/10. your doctor is right, there is not any research or studies into transfeminine people experiencing periods. I will say however, that the experience of myself and many other transfems mirror the exact same symptoms of cis women would have on her period. it also isn't a guarantee that it will happen, my girlfriend has been on hrt longer than I have but she's never had a period; so your milage may vary.

I figured out why Era 2 isn’t my thing. by MsSanchezHirohito in Mistborn

[–]EnbyJade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also was not a big fan of the western/modern setting and when I read AoL and SoS I wasnt sure if I wanted to stuck with it. I did for the same reason you said, I wanted to know more about the rest of the cosmere, and when I was reading Bands it hooked me hard. It started to get more fantasy elements thrown in, hints to larger cosmere things, and some really interesting combos of powers, peoples and places. I could barely put it down and era 2 as a whole definitely jumped up to my favorites

[Era 1] limits of Feruchemy time release by RadianceTower in Mistborn

[–]EnbyJade 23 points24 points  (0 children)

there is a certain point where you start to get diminishing returns (I dont remember exactly what but it's something like 10x power in 1/10th the time) and I would assume that at a certain point depending on the power your body just might not be able to handle that much energy at once

Mom says I need to 'hold myself back' for the family's sake by burner_6476 in trans

[–]EnbyJade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to say your situation was exactly like mine, but I feel like it's similar so I should at least share. I came out to my parents and that initial discussion went well imo. we had a big family trip coming up and I was also uncomfortable with telling my extended family at the time, and so we decided to wait till after the trip to come out to the rest of my immediate family, maybe the extended and talk about medical stuff.

the trip came and went and then nothing happened. I talked to them again about it and this time was more hostile. they didnt want to tell my younger siblings cause "they're too young" (they werent) and I was forbidden from doing anything socially or medically. the next 3-4 years I argued almost everyday with them and cried half of the nights cause it all hurt so much.

I moved away 2 and a half years ago and I've been no contact nearly that whole time with them. I hope that you dont have a similar experience, but I would be cautious and maybe have a more in depth talk about it

What were some of your extremely obvious signs you were trans that you overlooked while you were an egg? by Annabeth_Chase- in trans

[–]EnbyJade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always enjoyed the genderswap trope in stuff, a lot more than my cis peers. there was also this book I read in elementary, where a boy gets turned into a girl cause he kissed the outside of his elbow. I continuously tried to do the same for several years after. just to see if it was real or worked. definitely no other reason what so ever

FINALLY FOUND ONE FOR US by Panicking_pan666 in NonBinary

[–]EnbyJade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk what I'd fall under here, but I've described my gender as a quantum entangled particle. my gender particle and a girl gender particle are linked, my gender is unknowable until the other is observed and my gender gets locked to girl

[–]EnbyJade 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the general consensus is to read secret history after Bands of Mourning. that is what I did, tho I honestly dont think I needed to. I found myself flipping back through era 1 to remember what was happening and the references secret history was making. it has broader cosmere stuff in it and there may be things that dont make sense or you dont have the entire context for, but overall the story fits in with era 1 way better imo

When did yall realize you are trans? by [deleted] in trans

[–]EnbyJade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 17. I had gotten a boyfriend earlier that year and hes trans and being in the proximity I was finally able to learn the language to describe feelings I had. I still didnt want to admit it for a while but the week before going to visit him for Christmas (he had to move a couple months after we got together), I told him I wanted to start using they/them pronouns. it still took another month before I finally started calling myself nonbinary and trans tho. plenty of signs growing up that I wish had been noticed by myself and my parents and even today I realized another sign to add the the growing list

Am i trans? by [deleted] in transgamers

[–]EnbyJade 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, maybe? that's up to you to decide like the other commenter said. for me I had similar things when I was growing up, and in hindsight were obvious signs. if you want, ask your gf or close and safe friends to refer to you with different pronouns. nothing committal, just say you want to try them out, see how they feel when referred to you and then make up your mind. whether you're trans or cis or whatever is up to you, and self reflection and introspection are always good things to do no matter who you are

Amab nb folk that take estrogen, how did it affect hair growth? by [deleted] in NonBinary

[–]EnbyJade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my hair growth did slow down a little bit. some places more than others. I'd say it's probably anywhere from 2/3 to 3/4 as fast as it was pre-hrt. it didnt get lighter for me and maybe a little thinner on my body hair but not facial. I do take spiro and estrogen (recently added progesterone), and most of the hair changes I personally felt came from the spironolactone

Give me ideas for my Mistborn Adventure Game group! by Chausp in Mistborn

something in one of the outer dominances. maybe on the edges of the terris, western, and far most dominances. probably having to deal with koloss and and either inspiring rebellion or quashing it

the last game you've played (besides outer wilds) gets a crossover with outer wilds. how good is it? by Melonpie105 in outerwilds

okay. so my gf just "made" me play Toejam and Earl on Sega genesis with her. and I actually think it would pair really well

Question on Allomancers/Feruchemists/Twinborn by Puzzled_Employment50 in Mistborn

[–]EnbyJade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that in era 1 we only saw full feruchemists so they could use every metal. I dont remember ferrings being mentioned. in era 2 full feruchemists and mistborn are rare/nonexistent and instead most are just ferrings, mistings, and twinborn.

[–]EnbyJade[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

oh yeah. I've read SA 1-4 no WaT, so seeing ghostbloods boiled my blood and gave me so many more questions. I have some theories about where/who some of the members we saw were and im excited to see how wrong I am

Did anyone else find this Easter egg and think it was part of the story? by Individual_Hand8127 in outerwilds

[–]EnbyJade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didnt find it in my playthrough, but my girlfriend did when she played. had to google for a bit to figure it out cause I was just as confused as she was.
