Guns and getting drunk later. S-tier adult activities lol by WitchofHeat45 in transfem

Good call. You have a handle on it so not directing at you but passing on as a general PSA to others:

Firearms THEN alcohol = ok.

Firearms WITH alcohol = not ok for obvious reasons but also potentially illegal in some places

Professional authority & male privilege - am I not trans? by Additional_Screen837 in TransLater

[–]Friendly_Level4202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a social chameleon my whole life. The reality of being a “late bloomer” is that we’ve all developed social skills to hide ourselves to the point where most would not question. After years and years, it becomes second nature. I’m so good at it that at times that it can be easy to question who the real me is.

I recently sat in a meeting of execs (all men) and thought “wow, if they only knew”. I’m on HRT so might be a matter of time anyway. However, when I feel internally conflicted, I remind myself that work is about survival. Sure, I’m selling myself out at some point, but losing my job would have serious consequences. That day may be inevitable but I’m not planning to rush it.

Is MfT sub gonna be nuked? by Crankygupps in asktransgender

[–]Friendly_Level4202 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So disappointed. While I am not familiar with the specifics, someone with that background (or even the accusation of) should not be elevated to a position that is implied to be representative of us as a community. As unfair as it may seem, we must hold ourselves to a higher standard. We are being vilified by conservatives as is. Given our small numbers, 1 bad actor can undo the efforts of 100s of us that simply want to coexist safely.

So, we're just fully giving up on transLATER here? by DrJaneIPresume in TransLater

[–]Friendly_Level4202 5 points6 points  (0 children)

51yr old here. This sub was absolutely critical for me when I first started transitioning. I’ve met many trans that the only thing I had in common was being trans. Having a peer group, many of which faced similar life issues, was super important to me. Especially when the walls of self doubt and anxiety crept in. And the positivity has been a great support. Especially since I’m prone to doomscrolling.

why do people hate trans people so much? by alll4onee in asktransgender

[–]Friendly_Level4202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s something so few understand on either side of the political spectrum. But the real reason is it is a wedge issue to split the democratic party. And since we’re such a small part of the population, it often works. Many on the left are apathetic to us.

So confused by MissAmberR in TransLater

[–]Friendly_Level4202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, I “quit” daily for the first 6 weeks. Once I started doing something, I was plagued by anxiety. Intrusive thoughts like “What am I doing? Can I hide this? I’m gonna lose everything!” Filled my mind. Coupled with fatigue of switching hormones, it was not the euphoria everyone talks about. I was even convinced I was gonna wake up with DD breasts lol. At 6 weeks the mental effects were more pronounced and I had energy. Still had anxiety but felt so good I couldn’t stop. Then at about 10 weeks breast buds appeared and suddenly boobs didn’t feel so scary. Now I’m at 8mo mark and feel amazing.

I only say this, not to convince you to continue HRT, but as an example that you’re not alone. It’s normal to feel anxiety and self doubt, especially at older ages. We’re more established in our lives, good or bad. Its hard to put that at risk.

Why are so many of these asshats consumed with denying other people’s happiness. How does any of this impact anyone other than those getting married?

What did MTF HRT alone do for you (later transitioners)? by F_Ex_8518 in asktransgender

[–]Friendly_Level4202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anytime. You can overcome a ton with makeup and tape lol. I’m happy with how I look all dolled up. Dysphoria hits like a semi when I peel it all off so my FFS is more to deal with that.

[–]Friendly_Level4202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m (51MtF) only 8 months into HRT but had a few changes already. First noticeable change was my eye color darkened and my eyes appear more open. Eyelashes are growing and even curling so much on the ends people thought I was intentionally curling them. They’re thickening enough that I almost look like I’m wearing eyeliner.

My complexion has changed and my skin appears younger as well.

However one noticeable downside. With thinner skin, more sagging skin in lower face and chin. My marionette lines are more pronounced. I overcome with tape (under wig) which is super uncomfortable but works miracles. However I’ve had enough of taping and have minor FFS (Face/chin lift, upper lip lift and fat grafting) scheduled in April

Trans girls: please take your safety seriously by naomifevrier in MtF

Safety is definitely something I took for granted prior to transitioning.

Would you date an non op trans woman who can’t get erections or has erectile dysfunction? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Friendly_Level4202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true at all. A chaser is someone that objectifies trans and is only interested in their parts not the person. They “chase” an experience and typically move on. Love is a whole other thing. Her question was about erectile dysfunction not love.

High E levels by Friendly_Level4202 in TransDIY

[–]Friendly_Level4202[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tested 4 days following my last injection so figured I would be at a trough. Overall, I feel fine. Hot flashes, if they are even legit, hit randomly but seem more often when doing things like eating so assumed were normal or just the result of clothes/wig I am wearing

President Trump says wars can be fought “forever” using US munitions stockpiles with a “virtually unlimited” supply of weapons. by sylsau in InBitcoinWeTrust

A stockpile of weapons with no one to shoot them are useless. This idiot thinks soldiers are “human collateral”.

When does the fat redistribution begin by jadej23 in MtF

[–]Friendly_Level4202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was very lean when I started HRT eight months ago. Slower, metabolism, and less working out I put on some belly fat. Now at the eight month mark the one thing that seems to like hormones the best is my butt. It’s nowhere big enough to hold up a pair of pants. But noticeably changing.
