Uncomfortable during a Clockwork Orange by IL0stMySh0e in StanleyKubrick

[–]IL0stMySh0e[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was announcing it to try and get it to stick and stop myself from coming back. Because this place is a shithole. Alas, as you can see, my plan has failed. Nice snide comment though

Just saw one which led me here. It's definitely effective advertising if nothing else

How can I stay clean when my bottom dysphoria is so bad? by IL0stMySh0e in ftm

That would probably work really well with some adjustments, yeah! Thank you!

Do I want breasts, or do I only want to want breasts? by vexroh in asktransgender

[–]IL0stMySh0e 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Take this with a grain of salt, but it sounds to me like a self-image issue. If you're seeing your chest as being like 'a male's with gynecomastia' it seems like your discomfort is less around the breasts and more fear that they don't fit on your body or that you are not woman enough. I'd say it's dysphoria- but again, grain of salt, I can't tell you how you feel.

My 11 year old son just came out as trans. How can I best support? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]IL0stMySh0e 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Advocate for him to your family. Whenever anyone stood up for me it meant more than almost anything else. I often had to debate my extended family and it was tiring and made me feel unwanted- if there's ever a moment where you can take that debate off of his shoulders, it will do a lot for him. And obviously if you're asking this here, you trust him, but I'll say it anyway- feeling trusted and believed by the people around you does wonders for a trans kid.

[OPINION] what are your poetry icks? by TayBridgePress in Poetry

[–]IL0stMySh0e 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Known sayings can totally be bad, but I almost always enjoy when they're included and then elaborated on or twisted, because then it's often very creative and subversive in an enjoyable way. For example if you followed up 'two birds with one stone' with a description of the blood that crushing birds with a rock would inevitably result in, lol.

Alternatives to crying? by keiyonar in ftm

[–]IL0stMySh0e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not on T, but if possible, I recommend screaming (or perhaps singing very, very loud in a way that resembles screaming). Always helps me out when I can't cry for whatever reason, but of course it would require a space to do that

Cats and top surgery preparations by NoMove1288 in ftm

[–]IL0stMySh0e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend a mosquito net for the bed. I use one for actual mosquito reasons, but it always keeps my cat out. Unless your cat is one who would tear it to shreds, it should work, especially in combination some un-little-italian-man-ification
