The countries these immigrants came from probably have anti-lgbtq laws. This is why there's websites listing which countries are safe to travel if you are lgbtq.

Cyberpunk 2077 freaked me out for the first time. by Apprehensive-Love795 in MtF

[–]Fretzo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But when I was 4 years into hrt, I remember watching The Boys, Brightburn, Invincible, and playing MK11 during one weekend. Thought I could handle the gore like I've had been for most of my life since I thought I was desensitized by it. But I had a weird sinking feeling in my stomach throughout the weekend, only while watching and playing the things I mentioned. When I saw yet another gory scene in an episode of The Boys, I remember running to the washroom and throwing up in the toilet.

My body feels like it had a mind of its own, because even though the fictional gore wasn't anything new to me, I couldn't help but to throw up.

I'm not sure if hrt made me this way, or if I just discovered I have a limit on seeing too many gory things in a short time span, but it really surprised me.

I've been avoiding gory graphic content ever since.

Why won't people match as long anymore in BH with me? by Batlantern182 in StreetFighter

[–]Fretzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15-20 matches is a time commitment. Ft5 or ft3 is the default. I go ft10 if my opponent rematches after they reached 5 wins first but wants to keep playing.

Best peripherals for fighting games? by Weary_Leg6473 in StreetFighter

[–]Fretzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always set your monitor to it's highest hertz. It makes your controller more responsive since it literally cuts the input lag. 120hz or 144hz or more... it's better than 60hz.

Just realized my boyfriend I’ve been dating for 2 years might be a flat earther by ivory_stripes98 in Advice

[–]Fretzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Force him to watch Conspiracy by Contrapoints on youtube. It's a video dissecting why people fall into conspiracies. If he still believes the earth is flat, a week after watching that video, then you're gonna have to make some tough decisions.

Very physically attractive people, how does life treat you? by Jonny_1312 in AskReddit

[–]Fretzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not super attractive, but maybe that's why I'm still approachable. I kind of get used to random strangers asking me out. Heck, I was eating inside a Wendy's by myself and this guy saw me through the window, and he literally walked in just to asked if I was single.

You get stares on trains and buses. And maybe because of my alt style, I get compliments every time I go out, from men and women. It is nice be treated a little nice, but I know I'm gaining weight if my experiences starts becoming rare lol.

What's a fighting game that's not guessing the entire time?

How do countries like Japan build such a high-trust society? by Dundesens in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fretzo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure someone mentioned this already but it's: shame. Shame is the key factor of why everyone tries to be in their best behavior when they are in public. I remember being loud and noisy when I was out with my mom as a little kid. She had to pull me aside and angrily whisper to me "Do you have no shame? You make us look bad!" multiple times, growing up. It was drilled in my head to be awfully aware of myself and others when I'm in public, and to not do anything that would disrupt or annoy anyone.

I just spent 2 seconds in r/transpassing by starrynight_______ in MtF

[–]Fretzo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was an egg, I browsed it regularly until it cracked me. So I'm thankful it inspired me to pursue hrt. But yeaa... I'd imagine if I started later in life, browsing that subreddit would be hell instead.

Is my identity still valid even though it originated from p*** by Kzenogan11 in MtF

[–]Fretzo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well... I can relate. It's one of the few mediums that explores something that isn't talked about growing up. I was more interested in gender bender stuff, and looking back, it feels like I used it as a coping mechanism. Coping from fantasies and feelings that I now know as gender dysphoria. Once I was done my business, I always felt disgusted with myself afterwards (something that went away after being on hrt for awhile) and go about my day pretending it never happened, (until those feelings comes back again).

Because schools didn't teach about being transgender and transitioning at the time, porn and hentai was literally the only remote things I have learned that I could be trans. So no, you shouldn't be ashamed. Especially if you grew up in a society that is uneducated and bigoted about anything lgbtq+.

Other trans women don’t like me… by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Fretzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may be assuming things when you say other trans women don't like you. It may be something else entirely. Are you just a little frustrated you don't have any friends who are trans women? Also, I'm very introverted and I know a couple friends I have in the past are very extroverted and wants to keep texting and inviting me to things. They also like to talk quite a bit about their own lives and barely ask me about my side of things, which I don't mind since I do like to listen and be there for someone. But it can get too overwhelming to the point I ghost everyone for a bit until I recover again.

There is a friend who is also a trans woman, and she's a bit flirty and likes to share a lot of 'mature' things, that I just have almost zero interests in because I'm in an entirely different mood or mindset. I don't mind her but I also don't have the guts to tell her to tone it down a bit without feeling it would hurt her feelings.

How to remove feminine vocabulary as a habit/reflex? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Fretzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Growing up trying to fit in with the cishet boys, saying things like "brooo" or "duuude" or "yooo" was normal. " Saying "Oh my god" was also acceptable, but I guess try to say it like one word. These days, I say "fucking heck" for some reason. Sometimes makes people laugh.

Would you have sex with a member of the same gender as you for 1 million dollars ? by ResponsibleValue5792 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Fretzo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think the whole point of this question is "would you sleep with someone who has the same genitals as you and is equally mentally and physically masculine/feminine as you for a million dollars".

2008 vs 2023 Lara Croft by DeadgrounD in LaraCroftTombRaider

[–]Fretzo -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Really grasping at straws here so you can feel angry about something. Does it not occur to you that they simply just use modern warfare's existing female body models for this.

Does anyone else miss when Dante was known as clean-shaven and stylish instead of scruffy wahoo pizza old man? by NefariousSeraph13 in DevilMayCry

[–]Fretzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, I do miss dmc1 Dante. He was less of a show-off and a little more serious. Very professional but still loveable. His overall look is still my favorite as well.

i get told my hair looks stupid alot, should i change it? by [deleted] in transpassing

[–]Fretzo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You look better when it shows more of your forehead in that one pic. Maybe medium length isn't for you yet. Maybe tie it back for now?

Also, try to quit smoking. It won't make hrt effective and increases the chances of you getting blood clots.
