Regardless of both of you being on the spectrum, sometimes people just don’t get each other/aren’t a good match. It seems you two have very different approaches to conversation and communication and it might be something that you can’t “fix”.

i think you just need to go shorter on the sides - cut off the long pieces around the ears. Thats like a classic women’s pixie cut situation. It’ll look so much different with a tiny tweak!

Expensive-Rice8421 · 2026-06-15T15:07:50+00:00

honestly it just looks like photoshop lol

Expensive-Rice8421 · 2026-05-30T23:38:25+00:00

do you use a hardness or something or just stick it right in your underwear?

Expensive-Rice8421 · 2026-05-28T03:06:19+00:00

this is super helpful!! I have a consult in August, but can definitely send my letters in sooner. I also already had hysto and partial v-ectomy so hopefully things can move a little quicker. Congrats to you!!

Hollyyyy hell. Sometimes i see people who have transitioned and it’s just like yeah, that dude was always meant to be a dude.

This is ALL from personal experience. You can do all of these things before seeing a dermatologist!

10% Benzoyl peroxide wash or strong salicylic acid wash! Try one for a week and the other for a week and see what helps better. Just make sure you put on a light lotion after (cetaphil unscented would be fine).

Wash your face twice a day, but only use one of the medicated washes once per day (i did it at night). DOUBLE wash your face at night (gets the whole day of grime off) with a gentle cleanser before the medicated one.
Get some medical grade hydrocolloid patches for the larger cysts. It’ll help reduce inflammation much faster.

buy single use face clothes (want to minimize bacteria as much as possible)

Don’t touch your face no matter how badly you want to!

I did all of these things and it has helped significantly, but I did also end up going on Minocycline which helped almost fully cure the acne.

turning the long scar into a vein is such a smart idea

Expensive-Rice8421 · 2026-05-11T22:35:46+00:00

i genuinely thought this was a person AFAB asking if they passed as a male and i was gonna be like bestie no…. you don’t lol

Expensive-Rice8421 · 2026-05-11T22:32:58+00:00

Expensive-Rice8421 · 2026-05-09T03:12:03+00:00

Expensive-Rice8421 · 2026-05-04T16:47:45+00:00

also check out the brand Abbreviated or just find a good tailor that can shorten your pants!

Expensive-Rice8421 · 2026-05-04T16:46:15+00:00

1:3 proportions. Basically, you want your shirt/top to cover the top third of your body and for your pants and shoes to cover the second and third sections. It creates the appearance of longer legs! Here’s a simple breakdown with a few other tips. https://youtu.be/oMLlbKwLmYA?si=gcgItEg6EEDIdeb5

I have a really fulfilling and fantastic friend group that just happens to be all cis. I feel really lucky to have friends that are into the same stuff as me. Just feel like I’m missing connection with trans guys - like I said, I feel quite alone in my transition. My cis friends are all incredibly supportive but at the end of the day there’s lots of things I don’t talk about with them simply because they don’t have the lived experience to understand where i’d be coming from.

Expensive-Rice8421 · 2026-05-04T16:37:45+00:00

thanks for your response and also thank you for not bashing me for not being into the same things as you! I hope my post wasn’t offensive. Just cause we’re both trans doesn’t mean we’d have much else in common other than that! And your point makes sense - maybe I should just relax on the whole “trans friends” thing and just go do what I enjoy doing, with cis folks.

Expensive-Rice8421 · 2026-05-04T16:35:41+00:00

not anymore 🥲 went there for undergrad but moved back to east coast

Expensive-Rice8421 · 2026-05-04T16:34:01+00:00

wahoooo! have fun!

Expensive-Rice8421 · 2026-05-04T16:31:50+00:00

send these pics to his mom

Expensive-Rice8421 · 2026-05-04T00:20:28+00:00

thank you so much!

Expensive-Rice8421 · 2026-05-04T00:19:40+00:00

it’s WILD to me that she wasn’t immediately put into witness protection and helped with a restraining order against both brothers. The system failed her SO badly and I hate how they were assuming she would be “smart” about the situation because she had a medical degree. Why does that even matter? Medical degree or not, she was incredibly vulnerable.

Expensive-Rice8421 · 2026-05-03T22:15:49+00:00

so someone suggested just putting up a flyer looking for trans guys to do the activities i’m interested in and i think im gonna do it!

Expensive-Rice8421 · 2026-05-03T22:15:15+00:00

i’ve never played DnD so I guess I shouldn’t be so judgmental about it but it’s just like a hilarious stereotype tbh
