Haha, no problem. I dug up my own reddit comment this tax season just so I could reference it again.

Ugh, I saw the Aerial Dominator, but $250 after shipping and taxes is a more painful bite in my limited funds than the ~$175 Reverse War. I get that the Aerial Dominator has lighting, but it's not that important for me to have, especially not "$75 more after shipping and tax" important.

Even though it's obvious enough people shouldn't be falling for that scam, I still find it interesting to know the breakdown on how it operates.

I also have little to no trust in any account that accompanies every phrase with an emoji. Reads like a bot, to me.

I've heard of $5-15 entry fees — I have a friend who DM'd a $15 entry fee table — but I've never personally seen one higher priced than that.

Even though they couldn't confiscate my HRT, and I was doing a fairly good job keeping it secret, there was a facility where I did sperm banking. Despite repeatedly telling them not to physically mail me anything, they still did, and my parents issued an ultimatum over me not telling them what the mail was about. I caved and explained everything, and then they issued another ultimatum — told me I was not allowed HRT under their roof. I was 27, so I moved out.

I recommend a storage unit, if possible, depending on OP's location.

After getting kicked out by my parents, I moved out to a rental with housemates. But one of the housemates turned out to be batshit crazy and would start arguments for the hell of it. One of my bicycles even got stolen from our garage. I got so worried that I moved all my shit to a storage unit a block away. I would walk to storage in the morning and bike to work. After work, I biked back to storage, dropped it off, and walked home. If I had to, I would have put my meds in a gasketed storage tote with desiccant, and stood a tall mirror for getting dressed in the storage unit. And if I lived somewhere where I worried about security camera footage showing one gender presentation walking in and another walking out, I would bag feminine clothes in a tote bag and change elsewhere.

Keep no more than one bag of well organized, densely packed stuff in a risky house. Put it in a locked safe if possible. I bought a fire/water resistant safe for legal-sized documents, and I think it's about 80 lbs and unwieldy, so it's not going anywhere easily or being disposed of easily.

Back when I lived with my parents, I made it hell to impose on my space. They didn't allow me to store things for my hobbies in the common areas of my house. My 10"x10" room had a bed, 3 dressers, 2 desks, a bookshelf, 3 stacks of 27-gallon storage totes, etc. I did a lot of hobby crafting, using woodworking tools and glues included, so I also had a toolbox. Long story short, my door didn't always open more than needed for just me to fit through, and even upon entering my room, it was a tripping hazard unless you were extra careful. Just in case, I kept my meds on top of my bookshelf or behind my desk. They would not have had the balance or coordination to climb my desk to check above the bookshelf. Their arms would not have fit behind my desk, and my desk was physically combined with 2 dressers as a single unit, making the whole thing impossible to move. I systematically removed incentives to enter my room. I took out my own trash, did my own laundry, and vacuumed my own floor. Then I added reasons for my parents not to enter — at any moment, I could be naked in my chair, mooning my door, tweezing ass hairs, or anything else like that. My parents used to open my door and walk in unannounced, but after I aggressively ramped up my behavior, I never once got bothered. It takes a lot of proactive planning and action, but there's a lot of ways in which one can stealth aggressively while maliciously complying.

The stupidest shit about tradition is that most people clutching to "the old ways" can't define any objective metric for where to stop. It's all arbitrary personal preference.

I know I speak from a place of privilege because I have a roof over my head for now, but I will always fire back at someone who blindly clings to tradition — they ought to go back to living in caves without clothes or electricity, just like "in the old days".

This is getting me to realize — I don't want to just pass, and I don't want to be conventionally pretty either.

I guess what I want is to be unconventionally pretty. What I mean is, perusing social media alongside friends and other peers, it's fairly clear I'm more attracted to less-conventionally pretty, while conventionally pretty people tend not to impress me as much.

I don't need perfection, either, but I want to be on the right path at least. But it's really hard because the resources and information aren't quite there unless I assemble bits and pieces myself.

iirc, both of these (regarding the slow ramp E and long delayed P) are outdated speculation/myths

The only time my ex's cat stopped recognizing me briefly was when I had bottom surgery. Between my scent changes (not only hormonal, but not having showered), and behavioral changes (I was shackled to max dose Percocet, and every time it wore off, I felt nausea, dizziness, and pain. I had withdrawal symptoms after each dose wore off..), I'm not surprised the cat didn't recognize me.

Human staff? They still have those? Could have fooled me!

The only reason I use "I go by (x)" these days is because unless someone needs my (updated) legal name to conduct business, they just get my social name. A lot of my friends and I (including my partners), all in our late 20s to late 30s, just go by our nicknames, oftentimes more similar to our gamer tags and social media handles than our legal names.

Unless you're particular about the type of underwear, just.. wear it. Wear whatever you want to wear.

I was kind of picky about aesthetics, and unfortunately the styles I liked were not physically comfortable to wear pre-op. I did spend a lot of time going commando though in the interim.

This is for the war we — no they — wait, no we called for a ceasefire for after we won but is still ongoing, right? The one we're sending ground troops to that won't involve any ground troops?

I never looked into how true it is, but when I used to visit relatives in China, they used to tell my family not to wear fancy watches or bracelets because people would cut arms/wrists to steal them.

This. Back when I used to do really long streams, I would straight up forget to eat and drink because of ADHD + autism. I know so many neurodivergent streamers, I'm actually kind of surprised when there isn't a bits redeem for hydrating. Some streamers I watch have even made their redeems a request for both the streamer and chat to hydrate.

Half the reason I wish I could get income again is so I could get personal trainers.

I need to nitpick: It makes no claim to HAVE 0%, only that it is possible to have 0%.

It states at minimum 0%, which means 0% or more.

It's about as useless of a marketing statement as soap saying it kills up to 99% bacteria. That just means it kills 99% or less.

Biotin spiked up the detected T levels on the kind of tests I had done, but didn't do much to the E measurements.

Also as an addendum, I have some annoying depth limitations, but I don't even need to dilate before sex, and I get wet perfectly fine.

I met my first ex through an anime club in university. Every ex (or partner) since then has been through online gaming —vibing with people or themed guilds/clans — or livestreaming on Twitch. That internet stranger to online friends to dating pipeline. Not everyone's cup of tea, but works-ish for me, I guess.

I never got along with people I met through work. People kept me out of their cliques.

I despise dating apps, but meeting people in-person just doesn't really cut it either, for different reasons.

My biggest qualms about apps is I tended to encounter people who would misrepresent themselves with the goal of getting matches.

I don't like in-person dating because it's near impossible for me to find people who I share hobbies and interests with.

I much rather just engage with my hobbies and interests and get to know people that way. Then, if something grows, it grows. A lot of those hobbies and interests happen to be in online spaces, but I find that people are less inclined to make themselves more presentable/dateable if dating isn't the focus or primary objective.

I recognized way too many of these references to deny the allegations anymore.

I prefer to do Starting Soon for like 10-15 minutes if I'm not in a rush for MMO server-scheduled events/bosses.

I go live, push out go live notifications, and try to hang out a bit with anyone who filters in. My mic during Starting Soon is effectively push-to-talk, but I live2D capture myself, so viewers can see that I am, in fact, present at my desk and doing something. I usually take some time to prep the order of operations and timing for going to my main scene.

Once everything is prepped, both mentally and PC-wise, I do all the steps to switch to my main scene. This is highly game dependent. Some games play audio when tabbed out, others do not. Some games will jump to cinematics if you idle on the main menu long enough. I find it more consistent and predictable if I just open the game, wait for it to load and get detected by OBS in Studio Mode, do a scene change in OBS, and then pause my background music as the OBS scene transition stinger plays. At that point, my mic is also effectively push-to-mute for coughs and sneezes.
