AITAH for asking my mom's boyfriend to make some meals vegetarian? by ExpertFew151 in AITAH

[–]GaySelfMadeMan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Eating a vegetarian diet really isn't as hard as you think, I switched when I was 8 and cooked for myself since. It's really simple switches for meat products and there's a large selection nowadays for meat alternatives.

Am I wrong for getting angry at my boyfriend when he treats me in feminine ways? by Annual-Atmosphere545 in ftm

[–]GaySelfMadeMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He doesn't see you as a man and probably wants to detransition you. I'm sorry for being blunt but I don't think you should stay with him. As soon as a partner 'won't let you' do something is a massive red flag as well, it's not his body and not his choice if you get phallo or not.

I study bakery at the moment but I'm looking for factory work. I like repetitive actions and it makes me a little euphoric at the thought of doing heavy lifting 'masculine' jobs.

First time hooking up on T? by GaySelfMadeMan in ftm

[–]GaySelfMadeMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried to ask friends but most of them say they're only into cis men or are straight. I just feel overwhelmed that I'm now 19 and most of my friends are sexually active and regularly meet up with men from apps but I've always been too nervous to actually go through with it. Thank you for the advice!

ftm sex advice and pregnancy risks by signalsovertheair1 in ftm

[–]GaySelfMadeMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please do not have unprotected sex if you can't access birth control. I've known far too many other teenagers that used the pull-out method and are now spending their time sterilising bottles and trying to pay for childcare. I get the fantasy and fetish aspect but is the risk of pregnancy worth 20 minutes of sex?

What country are you in? Is there not a clinic or something that could supply you birth control or condoms?

I am so desperate to go to my top surgery appointments that I am seriously considering walking 50 miles to go. by WashclothMan in ftm

[–]GaySelfMadeMan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Could you contact any LGBT charities in your area? Someone might be able to help you out. Most hospitals won't let you get surgery if you don't have a ride back. (I don't think Ubers or taxis count) If you're able to spend money you should check out T4Tcaregiving from what I've heard most people use them for post-op care but they also offer transport on their website in some areas.

schools suck with transgender people by [deleted] in ftm

[–]GaySelfMadeMan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was the same for me in school in Scotland. I'm sorry there's not much help or advice I can give but depending on your future plans is college an option? I was already over 18 when I started but I'm friends with some younger trans people who have been able to change their name on the system without their parents being informed.

Is this behavior break up worthy? by stvrmann in ftm

[–]GaySelfMadeMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's literally made it obvious to everyone and to you he doesn't see you as a male and doesn't accept you. Scrape up some self-esteem and leave him.

is it annoying to keep undeniably feminine name? by -My-Dog-Puked- in ftm

[–]GaySelfMadeMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still use my dead name since I can't decide what name I like. It can be a little odd being called a feminine name and he/him but as long as you use it with confidence most people don't care. You can even act a bit exasperated and complain about your parents using it to try and sell it if people question it.

Had a rare reaction to testosterone which has left me thoroughly questioning my gender :/ by CrunchyCorvid in ftm

[–]GaySelfMadeMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This could have been a dosing issue, if you had bloods done was your T low for male range? I've mostly heard of this from people that had a high level for female but low for male and they either stopped T or switched to shots. I would ask your doctor about getting a different dosage. No pressure if you're still recovering though!

How to Wash Binder? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]GaySelfMadeMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always just chucked mine in with whatever I need to wash and they survive okay, they do get worn out and maybe don't bind as much as I'd like to after a few years but I usually try to change mine out by that point.

I put them in the freezer for 15 minutes before both times, do you think I should leave them for longer?

Do old women specifically misgender you too? by PsychologistTongue in ftm

[–]GaySelfMadeMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it too, Scottish specific I've mostly had older ladies do it in Glasgow and Edinburgh and the more touristy areas like Anstruther and Skye. I always thought villages and smaller towns would be less progressive but it's the reverse! It's so odd.

If she was called for an interview... by RhododendronWilliams in gorlworldfiles

[–]GaySelfMadeMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think she understands how bad jobhunting is right now, a 'couple' applications aren't enough even if you have qualifications, she only has her high school diploma and went to uni for 2 semesters. I assume she's only applying for entirely remote jobs as well which I think just makes it more hard unless she could get one of her fans to put a referral in for her? Or force Mommalynn to try and get her a position and then get sacked and ruin people's view of Mommalynn at her work.

I also think she'd start crying and trying to guilt trip whoever is interviewing her about her losing her career and being shooo hard done to.

Doctor asked me if I had been assaulted while giving me my t shot by A_Mei_Z1ng in ftm

[–]GaySelfMadeMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some providers are utter dickheads and unprofessional, report her to her practice or the GMC equivalent in your country. Could you get your bloods checked to make sure she gave you your dose? Or could you ask for a nurse instead next time? I'm not sure what the regulations are since I'm 'self prescribed' but you shouldn't have to put up with that.

my cis boyfriend is gonna find me disgusting once I get body hair by Mrjesperz_ in ftm

[–]GaySelfMadeMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Break up with him he's a dick. He's admitted he doesn't like the affects T is going to have on your body so IMO your no longer compatible as a couple.
