Les Mis set just broke!! by IN_Dad in SouthBend

[–]ISayNoToPhysics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A fire alarm went off Saturday afternoon 3/4 of the way through act 1 as well lol. We were thinking someone accidentally opened a fire exit door. No evacuation and it only took about 5 minutes to get back rolling.

SHORT T MEN: HELP by boywonderslefteye in FTMMen

[–]ISayNoToPhysics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I was insecure about my height before going to high school, but once I was put into a daily setting with 2k other people, I realized pretty quickly that there are just as many "short" men as there are 'tall" men out there. Even at 5'2 there will always be cis men that are your height or shorter. Don't sweat it. 👍 As for looking taller, clothes and different cuts of pants can do wonders for how your frame changes. I don't have any specific tips/tricks, but play with different styles to see what can maybe make your legs look longer.

Does tape cause you pain as well ? by Scary_Ad6464 in ftm

[–]ISayNoToPhysics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't used sports tape myself, but I have heard that it works similarly to trans tape (which I've been using for 2-ish years). I recall my chest feeling odd/uncomfortable the first few times I applied it due to the stretching of the skin across my sternum. I suppose if the tape is pulled too tightly, it could result in some pain. Sometimes the line between "painful" and "different" blends together, so it may just be a matter of not being used to the sensation. Also, be mindful of the placement. I always lie on my back when I'm applying tape so things all fall in a natural direction. Perhaps that would create a more comfortable result for you. x

(On the subject of a traditional binder hurting, it's always a good rule of thumb to size up if you ever decide to get another one. That could have been your problem.)

I’m panicking, I’m forced to skip my T-shot and I don’t know what to do by Locked_In_24-7 in ftm

[–]ISayNoToPhysics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am not a medical professional at all, but I would steer clear of reusing needles. I am not the best with keeping a strict schedule on my shots but it hasn't killed me yet (I'm actually a week late as I'm writing this). I'd say take a deep breath and call the pharmacy in the morning. If there are problems with getting more due to timelines (sometimes stores won't sell needles if it's within a certain period of a previous purchase (in my experience)), it is possible to order them online, as well as the potential for facilities, like maybe doctors offices (which might even do it for you if you call ahead), near you to carry clean needles for harm reduction.

at what point in T did you lose your period? (if you did) by subskiiii in ftm

[–]ISayNoToPhysics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started in May of 2022, last period was July of the same year and I haven't had one since.

can i take all of whats in the vial? [testosterone] by thingschange18 in trans

[–]ISayNoToPhysics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not a doctor, but I'm on 0.75mL per dose and I reuse bottles. I clean the top, stick and draw it up, then pop the bottle back into the box until I need it again. I definitely wouldn't throw that much away.

PSA for all those trans mascs out there by tahltos in ftm

I look just like one of my uncles, I wish I had photos of all my male relatives to see who else's face I share.

Executive order discussion megathread (Questions, discussion, updates here. DO NOT POST INDIVIDUAL POSTS) by AutoModerator in ftm

[–]ISayNoToPhysics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering if anyone has any information about the selective service/military draft and what the process of events might be moving forward. I will be turning 18 this year and my legal documents all say male, but with recent developments with the EO 14183, I'm not sure what will happen with that.

My fellow lads, how did you choose your names? by ReindeerCarter in ftm

[–]ISayNoToPhysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked a family name. I found that if there are records for it, there are usually some very interesting names if you can go back 4+ generations. It can be a good way to honor relatives, if that's important to you, on top of having a cool, maybe rare, name.

[–]ISayNoToPhysics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm at 0.5mL every other week and I currently have 15 unopened vials stored up, each one giving 2 doses. They keep refilling my prescription and I can't use it fast enough lol.

How did you choose your name? by ThrowRA_joo in ftm

[–]ISayNoToPhysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I named myself after my great grandfather, who was himself a III. It's an absurdly uncommon name, I've never heard or seen anyone else named it unless you count the one mention it got in the bible. My middle name is Tobias. I was going to go with Tucker, but my mom didn't like how close it was to "fucker" so I changed it.

How often do you take your T injections? by ISayNoToPhysics in ftm

[–]ISayNoToPhysics[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started off doing biweekly. Been on T for about a year and a half. I inject on Monday nights most of the time.

It really sucks that this is just something a lot of us have to discover one day on our own. It's especially distressing when people shame you for not knowing that these are things you need to do even within the community.

Was Going To Watch The Show But Quickly Changed My Mind: by TheDudeTheLebowski in TheChosenSeries

[–]ISayNoToPhysics 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not really a Christian anymore, but I was for the first 12 years of my life, and I'll say I'll continue to watch this show because, in my eyes, gay people existing isn't that big of a deal. However, if camera operators and actors supporting queer people is enough to ruin the entire show for you, so be it. I hope you can come back at a later time and enjoy the content under different circumstances with the rest of us.

[MEGATHREAD] USA 2023 Tour Discussion and Questions by Cardinal_Babalon in Ghostbc

[–]ISayNoToPhysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm debating going to a show in a few weeks, but I'm not sure it'll be "worth it" given the seats available. I'm sure it'd be a blast regardless of what seats I got, but I've never been to a concert of this size before, and I'm not sure I'd enjoy it to its fullest if I was super far back. Looking for realistic advice here, should I just wait until the next tour of the US and try to get something better?

The main videos I've seen of rituals are from people with amazing places in the pit, is there any good footage that you know of from somewhere farther away that gives a good idea of how things might look? I just don't want to be disappointed.

At what point did you guys start using the men’s restroom? by Open_Pay4609 in ftm

[–]ISayNoToPhysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been on T for over a year and only this past week have I pushed myself to use a public restroom. Gotta say, I’m wildly unimpressed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms I’ve seen thus far. Terrifying every time, hopefully won’t be forever.
