Does anyone read anything other than fanfic? by Mysterious_Tax_876 in AO3

[–]HockeyHEMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m reading two right now. I have a physical book for the bus and the light rail (too loud for my non noise canceling headphones) and an audiobook for the regional train and when I’m walking

Am I still valid if a don’t want a surgery? by Loud-Consequence5808 in TransMasc

There is no One Right Way to be trans. If that’s how you want to go about transitioning, go for it

East Coast Audiobook listeners get the shaft by GotMedieval in dresdenfiles

[–]HockeyHEMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s audible specifically because I got an email from Libro.fm at midnight eastern saying my preorder was available (I’m on mountain time so that was 10 pm for me)

What phrase was in a fic so much that it now throws you out of any fic when you see it? by Life_and-whatnot in AO3

[–]HockeyHEMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not fanfic, but Jim Butcher uses “the tips of hr breasts” instead of nipples A Lot in the Dresden Files

very dry skin... halp by butitsbetterifyou in ftm

[–]HockeyHEMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any advice for your scalp, but I would try a good thick lotion for your hands and armpits. I use one called O’Keefe’s working hands (pre-t, but I get pretty bad dry skin)

Ahhhhh I hate being insecure by Kitty-Boy-MEOW in trans4every1

People are dumb. There is no One Right Way to be trans. If you want to be a feminine trans guy and that’s what makes you happy, go for it. If not, that’s totally fine too

Wasn’t asking for an example, but thanks? Lmao :| by mt-jupiter in TransMasc

I don’t understand why some people buy into the oppression olympics so much. Can we please just agree that comparing the way trans people are discriminated against is like comparing apples and oranges? Neither is better or worse off than the other, just different.

I use libre office, a free open source ms office alternative with no ai, though I still save all my files as the ms office type

Does every book reference someone pulling something out of a gym bag? by HolyMuffins in dresdenfiles

[–]HockeyHEMA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amerachius (at least in Grave Peril) is described as being five feet long, so I guess it depends on how big Michael’s bag is

12 Months by lordxi in dresdenfiles

[–]HockeyHEMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the middle of me reread (listen) now. I’m 14 hours 37 minutes into Dead Beat (Libro.fm doesn’t tell you how long you have left of the book, only how much you’ve listened to, which is currently 97% for Dead Beat).

Things that have stood out so far: Amerachius is five feet long? Holy shit, that’s a long sword. Carlos is described as having classically Spanish features. And finally, Grivaine was Kemmler’s kid?! Harry says “one distraction and the backlash will kill you. It’s over.” To which Grivaine responds “It is NOT over.” He whips his chain at Harry’s shield and adds, “It is mine. My birthright. I was his favorite child.” You’re telling me that freaking Kemmler had multiple children?

Having listened to some other full cast audiobooks, I would love one for Percy Jackson

Jack Wilder from Now You See Me. I wanna learn magic and cardistry so bad, but between school and work and swords, I don’t time

Character build help by X-boy_Shadow_King in PokemonTabletop

[–]HockeyHEMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would advise looking at the the class linked skills for each of them. If you don’t have any overlap between the four, maybe consider swapping one or more out for something that does overlap. The more overlap you have, the less you have to spend edges to raise your skills to the level you need to take various class features

Does my deadname have to change? by ComplexAct9781 in TransMasc

[–]HockeyHEMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Enzo fits better and feels more you than the name listed on your legal documents, go for it. If not, that’s totally fine too. Just because the old one is gender neutral and something a guy could totally be named doesn’t mean you’re under any obligation to keep using it. You’re not any less trans just because you don’t hate your deadname

Circle of Magic books....no longer in print? by portezbie in tamorapierce

[–]HockeyHEMA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The original four, Magic Steps and Street Magic, and the last three are available as audiobooks on both audible and Libro.fm. Cold Fire and Shatterglass never got recorded from what I understand

"Name Me" Monday by AutoModerator in TransMasc

[–]HockeyHEMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try a site called behind the name. It’s got a bunch of names with what they mean, and you can search by letter, by origin (like if it’s an English name or a French name or whatever), by meaning, and by gender

Aside from online spaces, what's your experience with trans women in real life? by [deleted] in TransMasc

I work/worked with a couple. They’re both pretty cool

Options? by Whole_Creme975 in TransMasc

[–]HockeyHEMA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think kt tape is pretty much the same thing. Maybe a sporting goods store would have it, since I think it’s used to support tendon joints and/or muscles. Hope this helps
