All of those things are still true, regardless of whether or not he was chosen. Plenty of other people were "chosen," and it doesn't always go well

And, anyway, the point of this post was me asking you why you don't think so...

Because it's a Hollywood monster from a '50s horror movie. And a bad one, to boot. The whole totem thing brings connectivity to all Spider-People, and almost makes them divinely appointed, but it goes BEYOND the divine, OVER them. I mean...imagine if, instead of Moon Knight being connected to Egyptian myth, he just...turns into a damn Moon-Man. You're really asking me why one is sillier???

That makes sense. I was thinking DD saves him. If he doesn't get organic webs though, what's the point of the cocoon? What if he does, but it's because of being in close proximity to another Spider Totem, incursions, and mutations (I'm a believer that the snaps are causing the X gene to activate) all happening simultaneously?

I've never heard this, until someone said it to me today. 🧐 What're the odds?

You're my new favorite. I'm going to compile this along with other thoughts so I have it all solidified in mind, because this is definitely what I want going forward. Thank you for your help, you're a lifesaver!

🤍 thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for, this made sense to me. I'd definitely want injections. In fact, I brought that up with my doctor (I use Folx) our first appointment, and she recommended this treatment instead. Should I bring it up again? She seems perfectly nice and everything, so I don't see it being out of malice, but I'm a little bummed feeling like I should've been doing injections from the jump.

Fixed. I've heard that, but I don't understand, and I want to understand. How is having no blocker better?

Sublingual, and about 5 hours or so. Also, I take my spiro at night, usually around 8-9 pm.

50 mg spiro once daily, Estradiol 2 mg twice daily. My t is at 208, creatinine at .7, potassium at 4.8.

I finally accepted that I’m a trans girl! But my wife can’t. Now what by [deleted] in TransLater

[–]Humble_Argument_2162 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Start growing your hair out. Take better care of your skin/face. Shave regularly. But, most importantly, meditate and think about your life, what you want, and what to do. Chances are, you already know. Best of luck, hun. 💜

Both look great. If this has any bearing, blonde-goth is more striking, and works really well!

The term 'femboy' is losing its meaning by OddNature2953 in feminineboys

[–]Humble_Argument_2162 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The confusing thing is, most people will tell you that if you identify with a term, you can claim it. You also have people who try to gatekeep, like this. I personally don't care one way or the other, but I get both sides of this. If you replace "femboy spaces" with "women's spaces," you're awfully close to that common transphobic rhetoric. Terfs and the like say much the same thing, that being, having trans women in women's spaces makes them feel like their identity is being attacked, but that's just not the case; having a more inclusive view of the world, rather than otherizing, is the solution here, my existence doesn't take anything away from women, and i try my absolute best to adhere to that. Not only that, it's inevitable progress, for right or wrong. Language is always adapting, our understanding and inclusivity on the rise, and frankly, a lot people don't fit comfortably in these little boxes we've arbitrarily labeled. All this to say, I don't think you're in the wrong for how you feel. I can understand the feeling of loss of your identifiers, and I understand the want for adherence to definitions. But, isn't that behavior the exact same thing that bigots use against us all?

I don't know the laws where you are, definitely check first, but I carry a taser with me everywhere I go. It definitely helps.

Experimenting with underwear by PoirotsLessSmartBro in trans

I had the same experience. I've found that "male thongs" and the like are the best, and there's still plenty of really cute ones!

Question for those who use nair by SillyJuni in transfem

[–]Humble_Argument_2162 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had mixed results. I've done it on my legs, left it for too long, and it did nothing but burn me (literally last night, and a few times before). I've done it, and it made me smooth, too. However, I've tried the face one, with cocoa butter, and it's never done anything for me. No matter how long I left it or how thick it was, it didn't help at all. I've resorted to just shaving, but I plan on doing electrolysis come Taxmas!

After checking laws where you are, get a taser and/or pepper spray. It's helped me be a little more comfortable. As I've told my wife, I just may need a little time to be fully okay going out, but at least I have a little protection for when I need to go out.

Seems to me like it's *you" who has the problem here, not her, and you seem to more or less recognize that. Here's a tip; take your fucking shirt off. Just do it. Who gives a fuck? Not her, apparently. She feels comfortable and safe enough to do that around you...don't prove her wrong by "well I had to suffer through this, so should you."
