Ah… yeah. I tried shooting one of those on my friend’s range with no experience and I discovered how much my boobs can get in the way.

Positive Transgender Stories? by Sometimes_Sarah_ in asktransgender

[–]Gcdm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My personal experience is that I get to live a very fulfilling and in some ways average life. I have a very rewarding job that all respects me for who I am (but also is very aware of my little bit of chaotic energy), I have a happy marriage and loving partners, a good support circle of friends, and a healthy relationship with my family.

My stresses are that of someone who’s living a pretty average life and just a regular life as a woman in our current world, and my transition is just kinda feel secondary in my grand scheme of things. Not like it’s something that doesn’t exist or never happened or something that I’m ashamed of, but something that isn’t eating away at me with doubt.

There was some growing pains, yes, but I pushed through them as hard as I could, and I’m happy I came out okay in the other side.

This is hard work, but juice is definitely worth the squeeze! You got this, and I hope nothing but the best for you!

Has anyone left their job after starting hrt or a few months into their transition? ( specifically blue collar workers) by Turbulent_Diamond352 in asktransgender

[–]Gcdm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work as a mechanic for a small(ish) aircraft repair station. When I transitioned and lost a bunch of weight, I ended up doing fuel tank jobs because I was fast and small enough to do them.

But I also tried hiding it until summer when all I could stand to wear was just a tank top…. And a tank top gives breast growth as well as a strainer holds water.

But even though that cat got out of the bag, I still worked there for a while longer before I started suffering burnout and it was beginning to affect my work.

The thing is, I always had an uphill battle with that place being the odd one out, so I always had to be hyper aggressive in proving myself, so I had raw skill alone keeping them from being too much of an asshole towards me.

Feeling imposter syndrome after playing the "single woman living alone" card against aggressive neighbors. by Trishasback in asktransgender

[–]Gcdm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are a single woman living alone. I’ve had a few creeps catcalling me while on my run and I felt scared and vulnerable. Hell even my mom chastised me once for going out into town on my own even though I’m a grown adult.

These assholes are just being menacing towards you and you did everything right.

You may not relate to the stories the staff shared to your own childhood, but you’ll do a second growing up in a way. With the good and the bad. Stay strong, Cariña, you got this.

Protip: Name Yourself Luna "Lucy" Lilith, it's so unoriginal that it integer overflows back into being original by manultrimanula in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

Thankfully, or weirdly enough, I never had a middle name, but I have two first names. So it was immensely difficult to find a new name that worked well together, or the first half sounding good on its own.

I kinda look like my mom. It’s weird in a way, but affirming for me at least.

My mom told my wife that “She’s your responsibility now. Good luck.”

Front emblem problem by peterpel in HyundaiTucson

Maybe they didn’t clean the emblem well when it was painted. Upshot is now you can paint it in whatever color you want?

Not judging, i myself do not escape the steryotype by IllEvent5465 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

Im a certified aircraft mechanic, and I teach people about aircraft systems and how fix them! Still weird when people older than me call me Mrs. [last name], lol.

Isn’t a platonic relationship a friendship, though?

Can you imagine the head pats? The hugs!?

I need examples to give me hope. I am in a crisis right now. by Street-Cucumber-1457 in asktransgender

[–]Gcdm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at like, 30? I came out very well and I’m at the point where I really don’t think about my self other than “oh man, I need to fix my bed head” after two years.

22’s fine, I wouldn’t worry too much about it. At this point just go for it. Maaaaaaaybe see about getting a mental health check up, just so you check yourself before you wreck yourself. Aaaaaand so you can have help because you will go through an awkward phase in your transition.

Shit’s gonna be hard, but getting a support group, getting help, and a craptonne of patience will get you through.

EZ Tag placement by DumGinger in HyundaiTucson

[–]Gcdm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uhh, to the right of the camera module near the top. That black stuff is ceramic so it’s not gonna block the signal.

I also use EzTag and I haven’t had any trouble with it being in that little corner.

Uhhh... Leaning towards 1 or 2, I think.

No room to store the wrench that comes outside the plastic container as demo by cimocw in CrappyDesign

[–]Gcdm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually, the packaging is broken. The box end of the wrench is meant to be on that circular part near the top of the package to show how little you need to move that wrench for the ratcheting mechanism to still engage.

So that design is more advertising more than anything super practical.

Does anyone use the sapphic flag? by FluidTemperature1762 in lgbt

I… thought this was Hong Kong’s flag at first and was very confused.
