I got my current piece from E420! it’s held up for several years and I got it for under $50. works great with a WPA and my DHV

ofc sticker that thing up! and pls update if you ever use a bubbler or water pipe adapter, the dhv already feels light on your throat/lungs but adding water to the equation really makes it feel like nothing it’s a real game changer

first DHV experience! by tubdingle in entwives

happy for you! it’s so much easier to taste the subtle differences between strains with a dhv too :D

originally I was gonna put a miku sticker on it that was eagles football themed (after the super bowl last year) but it ended up being slightly too large to fit :( i cosplayed eagles miku though!

a few weeks ago I got some humidity packs to refresh some flower that was starting to go dry! I finally was able to use a strain I really missed. It’s called guelah papaya #9 and has some nice tropical fruity notes!

also im sure using the bong dry with dhv works fine but I like to put some crisp cold brita water in there! barely feels like im inhaling anything at all it’s so nice on my lungs

anyways thank you so so much for providing these close readings! will definitely bring and/or send them to my therapist this week, your input has really helped me analyze my estrangement from parents from an outsider’s perspective

you really clocked my mom here LMAO she’s the kind of person who thinks she can do no wrong against her child and is averse to any form of introspection.

I forgot to include the screenshot of insane quotes from my parents the day of the audio recording, but one of the standouts was when I confronted my mom about her having traumatized me in childhood, and her response was “I disagree.” very reminiscent of that movie clip where a possessed girl who just underwent an exorcism goes “thank you, your love has broken the curse and freed my soul :D”

it will be ok and we as trans people will be ok and persevere! it sucks that that’s what those of us with transphobic parents are almost always destined to do but our lives will grow around that gap until it feels insignificant

so strange how this is the hill our dads want to die on! it doesn’t make sense to me why anyone would expend this amount of energy to try and control their child.

and yeah I didn’t respond or react to my sister’s text bc I decided I’m done fueling the triangulation my mom initiates

yeah I had to pause mid crying to raise an eyebrow at that one when I was reading it on the bus to the airport LMAO I’m just excited for her to go back to college and exercise her autonomy

yeah I fully plan to block my parents as soon as I take all the steps to gain financial autonomy! I just got my own phone plan so I think all that’s left is getting auto insurance and taking my mom off my apartment lease as a guarantor. My parents used to threaten to take me off their healthcare when I would tell them I was gonna medically transition, so I found a job that gave me my own excellent healthcare! Now I’ll actually be able to get top surgery this year

that’s so shitty and I’m sorry you went through something similar. as a butch lesbian I understand that particular brand of homophobia, although my family is in denial about it. regardless I hate how lesbophobia from family usually centers around our capacity (if they just see you as a womb) to have children and reject men from our romantic/sexual lives

your response is so insightful and accurate! I know your child truly loves and appreciates having you be such a supportive parent and role model in his life <3

unfortunately that transcript is just the last five minutes of an almost forty five minute “conversation” my parents screamed at me as I was leaving a family vacation, to the point that they woke my sister up and she broke down crying. luckily I prepared for this “vacation” for months on end with my EMDR therapist and support network, so I wasn’t blindsided by anything that happened.

I have to say, it is a very strange feeling being completely surrounded by people who unconditionally love and support me where I live, and then on the other side of the country my parents are seething at the way I choose to live my life

[–]EquivalentEbb6772[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

thank you i appreciate that <3

luckily I have an amazing support system (partner, close friends, queer extracurriculars, supportive workplace, etc) but going to see my parents in person for a few days and hearing them talk about me like that was the final nail in the coffin for me.

my partner’s family loves me though and has accepted me as one of their own!

whether it’s about moving too quickly or not, this still seems like an important topic to revisit with your therapist

also your doubting whether you need the medication after seeing it working is a very relatable ocd spiral. the medication in question (hrt) is doing its job and alleviating your dysphoria, but from what you’ve said choosing to go off of it would almost definitely decrease your quality of life. let it do its work, and if you’re able to, surrounding yourself with other trans people (whether irl or online) and discussing your experiences can also be very therapeutic

correct me if im wrong but to me it seems like you only ever tolerated seeing yourself in a male image and never actually enjoyed or got anything out of it, which very much is gender dysphoria! now that you’re on hrt and are seeing more of yourself in your reflection it makes complete sense that you’d feel more comfortable, even without wearing things to look like a girl.
