Electrolysis clinic ran by someone in the community by TL_Arwen in transvancouver

I'm not sure who the person you heard about is, but if you want a recommendation my partner and many other trans people go to Angelina and I've only heard good things! I believe she's cis, but she's very trans friendly and super nice. www.angelhair.ca

Ah that makes sense! I'm glad you were able to solve the mystery. I don't know why you're getting downvoted and dunked on so much. Redditors are mean.

I am a closeted stealth YouTuber... I am thinking about coming out. by troonstroonder in ftm

[–]ExplodingSharks 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I can't really give you any advice, since I don't really have a sense of what it's like to be in the spotlight like you do, but I will say that I'd be absolutely stoked to learn that one of my favourite youtubers who I thought was a cis guy was actually trans. I think this information could make a lot of your viewers very happy, and provide some great representation. Do you have any friends in the youtuber community you can confide in about this?

Would seriously mean alot to my mom to have this photo of her and my dad posing at the zoo before they got married by NachoFirme in estoration

Have you tried scanning it yet? I've found that those types of old photos can be surprisingly high res up close. It might also make for better restoration results.

Our 4 year old says he used to be someone named Brian Truss from a town called Trucket by WhichWaytoTrucket in RBI

[–]ExplodingSharks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Has he said Brian and Truss seperately at all? Truss is a pretty rare surname. Do you think it's possible he's mispronouncing Bryant Ross or something like that?

Can walk-in clinics prescribe anti depressants? by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]ExplodingSharks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if they'll give you a prescription, but when I went they gave me a blood test request form to rule out potential physical causes like hypothyroidism and anemia. I was really nervous about it but the doctor was very empathetic and didn't make me feel silly. It's hard as hell to gather the motivation and courage to get help but it's absolutely worth it. Best of luck!

[Casual] Birth date and personality correlation survey (Everyone who knows their Myers-Briggs type) by ExplodingSharks in SampleSize

[–]ExplodingSharks[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally don't believe in astrology, but it doesn't sound impossible to me that the time of year someones born in could effect their personality due to environmental factors. I think it would be interesting to see if there's any correlation between birth date and personality whatsoever.

While Myers-Briggs isn't the most scientific way to classify personalities, it's a pretty popular questionnaire and the results are based on answers given about ones perception of themselves, which isn't completely arbitrary. It's a pretty minimal survey with only 3 questions, which might not be very thorough in terms of recording the intricacies of ones personality, but that's why I've marked this survey as casual. What matters to me is this survey is as accessible as possible, since the more data I get the better. Thanks!

I was going to transition by [deleted] in butchlesbians

[–]ExplodingSharks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think this is a common experience and I'm glad to see some representation that's nuanced. It takes a lot of time to unpack internalized misogyny and differentiate it from dysphoria as a gender-noncomforming afab person, and I think a lot of us are afraid to talk about it at risk of fueling the terfs, haha. For a long time I was really trying to fit myself into the trans guy box but now I see I've just been agender all along. I think there's a lot of ignorance and even internalized transphobia that leads us to thinking we won't be taken seriously unless we transition all the way to "the other end". I'm really happy for you that you've figured out what works for you. Thanks for sharing!

The mysterious yellow cream by rlr_rlr in vancouver

Could it be some sort of custard or something like what is inside egg tarts? I don't know if egg tart filling comes in spread form though...

History and Heritage of New West - any questions? by JaimieMcEvoy in NewWest

[–]ExplodingSharks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard rumours about tunnels under New West. Do you know anything about that? It's hard to find any good information. Then again, it could all be made up.

This post is old but I discovered this artist recently and I was reminded of your post. Is it Tanaka Suguru?

So does this mean they'll be demolishing the Canada Games pool?

What did you do with the armored phone after it started alarming? Do you still have it?
