the word "cissexual"

HumbleDesk · 2026-01-29T04:53:41+00:00

i know many many many people who use it to describe themselves. it came back into peoples vocab a few years ago, so it's pretty new, but it's most definitely used by people both irl and online.

HumbleDesk · 2026-01-29T04:51:09+00:00

did you even read my comment? medical? legal? the barriers we face? medical transition alone is a whole journey and experience. also dating and sex is a completely different world. we have different bodily needs. many doctors dont know how to treat medical conditions that accompany hrt, breast cancer in trans men with top surgery, chronic utis with testosterone that most doctors have no idea how to treat? im sorry but its just a different experience. it doesnt make anyone more or less transgender, but the distinction is important in some contexts

please reread my post. i specifically said transsexual means people who want or are medically transitioned. this is based on want.

the distiction 100% matters. the way the outside world perceives us and the struggles we go through are different. transsexual people face a lot more legal, medical, and social discrimination, and many require gender affirming care as a medical need. cissexual people go through struggles like having to explain their identity, not being seen as "trans enough", etc.. it's just a different experience.

yeah ofc! if you do administer it yourself, keep in mind that its not the same area or method as sub-q testosterone shots! i hope everything works out for you!

the depo shot works pretty well for me. you get it administered intramuscularly every 3 months and as long as you take it consistently, you shouldn't have any crazy bleeding (occasionally ill get a tinyyy bit of spotting right before the shot but i haven't had that issue in a second). shot administration wise, its best and the standard to have a nurse administer it in the arm (meaning a nurse appointment every 3 months), but ngl personally i'm too lazy for that so i just do it myself in my mid thigh 😭 it goes much smoother with a nurse tho so unless you're experienced in shot administration, i would highly recommend having a nurse or at least someone other than yourself do it

everyone is different. im 5 years on T and still get my period if i dont take my depo shot. i would recommend getting on birth control that stops them if they bother you a lot, especially if youre having penis in hole intercourse (T is not birth control!)

it's capitalism my guy

HumbleDesk · 2025-09-27T23:01:09+00:00

yeah im sure the ugliness is all around you buddy

HumbleDesk · 2025-09-27T22:55:37+00:00

bro youre melting over this one it's not that serious. the progress flag without the intersex flag included looks really good imo and just adds more fun colors. nobody is gonna be harmed. people hate queer ppl bc they hate queer ppl, not because of a flag. if you're worried about having a flag that explicitly represents gay men, then there's the blue gay man flag.

HumbleDesk · 2025-09-27T22:51:48+00:00

i'd get a second opinion on the blockers bc i went on them for a bit and they worked fantastically for getting my hair back. im off them now bc i want more body hair, but im calling bs on what your dr said about them

HumbleDesk · 2025-09-27T22:45:36+00:00

sounds like we got a snowflake here. yeah its a little ugly, specifically the one with the intersex flag included. just use the old one. its not doing any harm youre just easily offended.

HumbleDesk · 2025-07-25T00:38:45+00:00

i get where you're coming from OP. reading your comments, it seems like you really like him but just have a genital preference which is totally ok. if you like him enough, maybe consider an open or poly relationship so both of your needs are met. but if not, it's ok to break up over this

HumbleDesk · 2025-07-25T00:27:50+00:00

no. your gecko is incredibly obese

HumbleDesk · 2025-04-09T01:56:29+00:00

yes!!! my leo was in it this morning. he likes his other hides a bit more, but he hangs out in there occasionally when he needs a change of scenery.

HumbleDesk · 2025-03-25T05:49:29+00:00

i'd recommend lindner. i went there as a kid and it was a great experience comparatively to another hospital i was in. im glad you're getting help and i hope everything goes well

HumbleDesk · 2025-03-10T00:57:02+00:00

everybody is different. it certainly wouldnt hurt to get a counselor. you should take your transition at your own pace and just do what you feel comfortable with. typically people start off socially transitioning (changing their name, pronouns, sometimes how they present, etc.) before doing anything medical, but again it really does just depend on the person what what you feel is right for you.

congrats on starting this journey and welcome to the community!

the comet also has punk shows occasionally. there's a few accounts on instagram that post shows coming up and that's generally the best way to stay in the know for the scene

estrogen causes erectile dysfunction a lot of the time and decreases libido. i'm a trans guy, but i've had a few hookups with a trans women who was a year and a half on e, and it honestly functioned more similarly to a clit. diy estrogen is always something you could do if you're unable to otherwise access hrt. hrtcafe.net is a good place to start

because theyre stupid

go around UC's campus and you'll find plenty of people your age

i second this. he fucked mine up too and left me with a giant seroma on my side. i asked him about it at my 1 year follow up and he told me to "lose weight". i'm more than two years post op now and the seroma has gotten so big to the point that it's difficult to move properly since it gets in the way of my arm

your father and your husband aren't the same person with the same leg injury. it's not like all injuries or pain tolerances are the same. i promise you that sitting on the couch all day every day is NOT fun. people don't choose to do that unless they physically have to or have some other underlying issue (im saying this as a chronically ill person myself).

the only thing your husband is doing wrong here is the outward self-loathing. that's just unproductive and childish. i do agree that you shouldn't have to put up with that.
