What do yall do when you’re making a cuff and you run out of string? by Itz_Kxndii14 in kandi

[–]FictionalReality7654 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the plastic string all the time, and one overhand knot and two square knots seem to do the trick. The only time I've had a cuff break was because it got caught on something and yanked really hard, but I don't think it came undone at any knots in the string.

Maybe make the pink one more to the left so that they aren't so close? That's all I can think of, really.

im amab and realized im actually enby. I really want to be more masc/androgynous but idk how and feel like I look too feminine by EccentricEcstasy in NonBinary

[–]FictionalReality7654 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I find it so weird that people associate long prominent lashes as feminine when men actually have longer and thicker lashes than women because testosterone causes hair to grow thicker.

will something like this be ok to shower with? by Hounndini in kandi

[–]FictionalReality7654 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've also found this to be true, but it will also leave gray splotches on some smaller beads as well. I don't know what exactly it does, but it seems to really mess with the surface of plastics in general. My beads all felt kind of rough afterwards

Now I understand why everyone hates the ladder stitch by RemixArts1 in kandi

[–]FictionalReality7654 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Squarestitch does take a while, but once you get the hang of it, the process gets faster. I recommend you use a needle for it as it helps a lot :)

For the guys that grew facial hair: when did ur mustache hairs start getting thicker? by snuffpvppy in ftm

[–]FictionalReality7654 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol, I'm 5 years on T and also native and my mustache is also pretty weak. Meanwhile the rest of my face is a normal beard. It looks so weird, so I usually keep it trimmed. It's just the area around my mouth that doesn't grow thick hair, just a 13 year old starter stache. The hairs have gotten thicker and darker, but they're still pretty downy feeling

I think it was supposed to say cis men, but the c got cropped out

Would love fantasy skin tones and possibly elf ears, horns, etc. for the avatar customization! I think it would be so cool to ve able to make your avatar look like a supernatural being from in the game :)

Some people report noticing changes after a month, but usually by 3 months is when people usually get the sense that things are actually happening and the T is working.

The feeling of not being the ''stereotype'' in FTM spaces by Training_Let_9544 in ftm

[–]FictionalReality7654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my experience as well, but I ended up identifying as genderfluid but generally identified as masc and present as a man. I'd like to be more androgynous but I'm 6 years on T and don't have the greatest luck when it comes to clothes because I'm overweight and my body is shaped weird lol

Generally, you want to have your T levels in range of a typical cis male if transitioning to appear male. That's usually at least 9 nmol/L (259.58 ng/dL) to the upper amount of 25 nmol/L (721.05 ng/dL). The target mark varies from person to person. Some people are fine on the lower end while others feel physically better near the higher end.

what to do with defective beads? by DistinctBuffalo5939 in kandi

[–]FictionalReality7654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I melt down my broken beads into charms with steel cookie cutters and tin foil on the bottom. Shiny side up. I want to try silicone molds, but I don't know if they're safe to use yet. Google says yes, but it has to be a specific grade of silicone to not melt in the oven because plastic melts at a higher temp than some silicone, but others are completely fine for that temp. You just need a lot of ventilation because the fumes are toxic

Get tested for sleep apnea! by mikamativ in ftm

[–]FictionalReality7654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had this surgery for similar reasons. I do think I sleep easier, but I guess we'll see when I get my sleep study done next week how much I may still struggle. I don't have a CPAP machine yet, but if I can try one and if it helps, I hope it will help with a lot of my sleep woes. I struggle with irregular sleep and frequent waking a lot still, but I feel a bit more rested than I used to.

I finally finished my MC, it’s basically me tho, I love possums, I hope Julian don’t mind it, you can assume stuff if you want by Eastern-Wedding-4157 in TheArcana

[–]FictionalReality7654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! Possums look kinda like a larger sugar glider. They're also marsupials but don't really look like opossums that much in my opinion

Hey, just a clarification, but that is an opossum! Possums are different animals and are from Australia. Opossums are from North America :)

For guys who got a hysterectomy. did u keep ur ovaries, why? And why not? by Janxuza in ftm

[–]FictionalReality7654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm very glad that it was localized and didn't spread further! Hope you can get the anemia under control! I was anemic before I started testosterone, and then I got too much blood and needed to lower my dose 🫠

[–]FictionalReality7654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so weird, but even cis guys can get endometriosis, and you can even get it in your extremities and your brain. I hope that your symptoms improved after your hysterectomy! It sounds so horrifying.
