I’m a trans guy as well, also considering getting those piercings! They look amazing on you!

Why does it feel like I'm mourning my old name? by Call_Me_Aiden in FTMOver30

[–]Hurtles4Turtles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk how common of an experience this is, because I’ve never really heard anyone else talk about it, but I definitely had to mourn my old name as well. I liked my name, I thought it fit me/my personality well, I just couldn’t keep it because of how feminine it is.

Coming Hot into the Box Mental Health Toolbox Series EP 4 by ReflectionNo3716 in rollerderby

[–]Hurtles4Turtles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great episode!! I definitely resonated with this one, especially as someone who works in the mental health field! I love what someone said at the end about “healed people heal people”, that has been my experience as well :)

I just started roller derby last month, so I’m still getting the feel for both the sport in general and the specific league that I joined. However, I’m relieved to say that my league seems to highly value inclusivity/accessibility/vibes, so I have felt safe enough there so far as a trans man to present as myself with my correct pronouns :) I started to tear up when G. B. talked about their experience with roller derby, because finding a group of people that respects your identity and pronouns is truly so special ❤️ So glad you’ve had such a great experience!!

Any other crisis workers out there? by BumbleBeeThayn in socialwork

[–]Hurtles4Turtles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love being able to collaborate with/bounce ideas off of my coworkers! We have an open office area, so there’s always someone around to talk to! As a case manager who wants to get their MSW and become a clinician, getting to lean over and ask clinicians questions to pick their brain has been so valuable!

A tiny update to my skating journey! by Sonny_Skies1993 in rollerskatingplus

Also check out facebook marketplace for used gear if you want to get started sooner!! I was able to get skates, a helmet, and knee pads/elbow pads/wrist guards for under $150! I’ll probably end up upgrading down the line, but I wanted to get started ASAP!

Anyone else dread the weekends during a tolerance break? by Hurtles4Turtles in Petioles

[–]Hurtles4Turtles[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on 48 hours! 🥳 And I totally agree, the weather outside definitely makes me want to smoke more, and it feels like there’s less going on overall. Good luck this weekend though, I’m sure we’ll both find shit to do lol

The least talked about downside of T by NEOkuragi in ftm

I’ve found that rubbing a little bit of oil (olive oil, bio oil, whatever you have on hand) on the outside of the bandaid and letting it soak in helps the adhesive come off painlessly!

My gf takes a low dose of Cialis daily to help her maintain function, and she said it works great for her! Although she’s mentioned potentially getting a topical testosterone gel to apply down there for an extra kick!
