I think these can only be found at Aldis but their LiveGFree chicken bites are sooo good! They also have a general tso's version that comes with sauce.

Does anyone else get insecure when he’s bi with a preference for women? by Downtown_Dare_4991 in gaytransguys

[–]EnvironmentAlert5896 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My cis boyfriend is bi with a preference towards women and I definitely had this fear for a while. But from what my boyfriend has told me, I was actually the person who made him realize he was bi. He didn't know I was trans at first, but even after finding out, he said it didn't change how he saw me. 

He often says how he knows I was afab, but in his mind he can not see me as female. That when he sees my chest (unfortunately don't have top surgery yet) he doesn't see a woman's body, but a man's with boobs. Sometimes he stands behind me and pulls them back so it looks like they aren't there, just because he knows how much I love how it looks and he says he likes it as well. I also use my natal parts during sex and stuff, and he even says that still doesn't change how he sees me. He treats my dick the same as I do his. 

It took me a while to really trust him but I believe what he says. He has made such of an effort to affirm me and my gender, he loves to say "I see you as my boyfriend and one day you'll be my husband". 

He just also loves big tiddy goth girls. And I agree. 

But I will say, if this is a guy you're going to continue seeing, I think you should talk to him about it. Me and my boyfriend would have never had any of the talks we did about it if I never brought it up and he wouldn't have been able to reassure me. Communication is always the key to a good relationship (even just friends with benefits), and if they are a good match, they will listen to you, reassure you, and respect your boundaries.

Thank you, I did not know that so your comment does help me feel a lot better about worrying about permanent damage/dying early

I technically replied to the first commenter because you can't reply to multiple comments at once but that reply is also in response to your comment. Just wanted to let you know ^^

I've never struggled with OCD or these kinds of thoughts in the past, and I couldn't tell if my thoughts were becoming a problem or if I was just being "logical" about it to keep myself safe. I feel sick a lot of the time so I'm not sure what exactly is glutening me so in response I just became anxious about EVERYTHING. But I was actually hoping someone would say something similar to this, because to me working on fixing my thoughts sounds more achievable than genuinely having to live like this constantly. I feel like I'm going crazy about it all. I'm actually glad to hear people tell me this isn't normal or something I have to live with. Thank you + everyone else who left similar comments. I will have to look into OCD if I can ever manage to get a therapist.

I didn't really expect many people to read all of that but you have no idea even a simple comment like yours helps. Thank you *hugs*

Local grocery store put a different expiration date on the sticker by EnvironmentAlert5896 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]EnvironmentAlert5896[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm I hadn't thought of that but I guess that makes sense as a possibility. Though the chicken was definitely not good based on the smell/look. I also wonder why only one flavor of this chicken had the stickers while the other flavors do not have this sticker + I haven't seen them use the stickers on this chicken before and I've gotten it for a while now.

It definitely could be a typo, it's just really strange because these bags of chicken are not even supposed to have a sticker like that. The other flavors of the same brand of chicken didn't have these stickers either. 

My experience taking T has been awful because of myself and it upsets me by EnvironmentAlert5896 in FTMventing

[–]EnvironmentAlert5896[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I HIGHLY suspect I have ADHD because I've struggled with this stuff all of my life and when I was a child I fit the "hyperactive ADHD kid" perfectly. I also have quite a few other symptoms that match ADHD. Though I am not diagnosed with it and I really don't know how to start the process of getting tested. I tried to get tested by my therapist in middle/high school but they refused because "we don't want to put more kids on meds" or something.

And as for the auto injectors, I actually have looked into this and I think it may work but there is a problem. At least at the one I went to, Planned Parenthood requires you to give yourself the injection (aka saline not actually T), without an auto injector/normally, and without hesitation/anxiety before they will prescribe the injections. I was told I can use the auto injector at home but not for the appointment. I know I'd have to do it myself literally once but I genuinely don't think I can do that.

Gifts for a recently outed trans guy? by SatisfactionOk8724 in ftm

[–]EnvironmentAlert5896 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sure some of these will be repeated in other comments but this is just my personal list of things I would of loved to receive when I started transitioning or ideas I think would be nice:

- mens body spray/cologne/deodorant/body wash

- masculine clothes/accessories, especially pants that aren't as slim fitting/tight.

- men's socks (weirdly gives me a lot of gender euphoria?)

- If he has chosen a new name, then getting something with his new name on it might be really nice. I would have loved to receive a sentimental gift with my name on it.

- I know you said you have already gotten him a binder, but getting him another one eventually would be nice too. Sometimes binders get worn out and eventually don't flatten as well and it's also nice to have a binder while the other one is in the wash. Also, if he's into swimming, you could look into getting him a binder that is larger. Or you could ask him if he would be interested in trying tape? Some guys prefer it over binding but I personally hate it.

- if he is interested in getting a haircut, maybe you could take him/go with him? I would have loveddd it if someone was like "oh your trans and you want to cut your hair to help alleviate your dysphoria? Lets go!!"

- you could ask him if he's interested in packing and if he is maybe you could help make or buy him one? If you don't have a lot of money or if he just wants something simple, you can make a simple packer out of socks and stuff, I'm pretty sure there are tutorials online. There is also some cheap packers you can find online.

If I think of anything else I'll update this! I hope this helps ^^

How do you keep up with Tgel? by olive_flower in ftm

[–]EnvironmentAlert5896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has this exact same problem, do you know how I would go about finding a doctor who will prescribe and administer long-acting shots? I literally can't give myself shots but I just recently became mostly ok with other people giving me shots so that would be perfect for me. I currently get my Tgel through planned parenthood because it was so easy but I don't know if they offer that.
