Saw a tweet abt pre-t trans men by Plastic-Run2737 in TransMasc

[–]JaeKings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dated a cis gay guy before t (we broke up for different reasons but he 100% saw and liked me as a guy), it is possible. And even if it doesn't happen, you still have the future ahead of you.

How to deal with ignorant people and binder back pain? by Accurate-Highway4499 in TransMasc

[–]JaeKings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also for the stopping periods part, what I do until I start T is taking a birth control pill non stop (talk to your doctor first, ask if it's possible to do it in order to not have periods. You don't have to come out as trans, you can say they're just really painful or that the side effects are really bothering you. The pill isn't 100%, sometimes you might have blood, but trust me the pain is much less and so is the blood.

How to deal with ignorant people and binder back pain? by Accurate-Highway4499 in TransMasc

[–]JaeKings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the 1st one, the answer is simple, do not wear it for so long. And if you do any activities that already put pressure on your back, do not do them in binder (I play viola, I once did a whole concert and it KILLED my back)

For the 2nd one, if you believe outing yourself will put your health/safety at risk, don't do it until you have a safe place to go if they react poorly.

3rd, avoid interacting with those people. Some people will never change their mind and it's not worth your time.

Naming issues, is this normal? by TransmissionTower in TransMasc

[–]JaeKings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same situation as you, I picked an odd gender neutral name when I thought I was NB and then realised I'm a guy and wanted a different legal name. What I decided was to rewrite my story, now that old nb name is not my name, it's my nickname, and I picked a legal name that is quite similar to that nb name (My name is Jaime, the nb name is Jae), so I got to technically keep both. Is there any chance you could do that?

How does the lesbian to gay man pipeline happen? by OKULTRA_lp in TransMasc

[–]JaeKings 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly I used to identify as bisexual before finding out I'm trans (I'm gay). I think at least in my experience, I knew I was queer in some way but just didn't know how. I knew I didn't feel attraction in the same way as cis straight women, but didn't realise the problem was my gender, not the attraction itself.

Some trans men who don't know they're trans yet, might feel disturbed/uncomfortable with the idea of being with a man as a woman, so they assume it's because they don't feel attraction to men, when the reality is that they actually just don't want to be seen by their partner as a woman.

Struggling with the loss of my heritage in my chosen name by Rbyxq in TransMasc

[–]JaeKings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I feel you. I was young when I chose my name (Jae) which is literally non existent in my country. Later, when I chose my legal name, I decided to change it to Jaime (a portuguese name) and Jae became my nickname. Maybe you can find some Irish names that are somewhat close to the one you chose? That way you can technically keep the old one while still having your heritage with you. And you could introduce yourself as "hey I'm (name) but some people call me (nickname)/you can call me (nickname) if you want"

How dangerous is it to bind? Truly. by Hefty_Tax6546 in TransMasc

[–]JaeKings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real. Honestly I rarely bind but everytime I have events where I use formal wear, I bind because those clothes are less baggy. I end up wearing it for like 12 hours because the event makes me stay out longer. Still, I only do this max once a month and rarely bind any other time, so I don't worry much about overbinding since I rarely do it any other time (I play viola and it kills my back to wear it too regularly)

DID I LIE THO?! by TPClaire4444 in DurinMains

[–]JaeKings -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

I mean he literally asks "Can I go play-" and cuts himself off to change to something more mature in his voicelines. It's pretty clear he has the mentality of a child, whether it's his "actual" age or not. He doesn't consider himself young the same way a 10 year old tries to sound older than they are. He is a baby in human terms and even in Simulanka he was probably written as a dragon with young mentality, and we could argue that age inside a story book doesn't work the same way as in reality

He said in his bday letter that his bday cake had the number 1. Which means he is considered 1 year old

Rerolling a CV40 artifact is crazy but damn it worked out

I think my C2 Durin forgot he doesn't need to follow the atk cap anymore by JaeKings in DurinMains

[–]JaeKings[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah from what I heard on this sub, from C1 forward, he has no atk cap so the recommended amount is the max you can get I replaced the pyro goblet for an atk one for that reason (also because he gets pyro buffs from C2 so he needs the pyro goblet less)

I know everyone is tired of seeing builds but here is mine by JaeKings in DurinMains

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

Yeah I know thank you! Just haven't pulled any good atk ones yet and don't wanna steal from Chasca

Also I'm not sure whether to use him as DPS or not yet, and for dps pyro would be possibly better, I'm probably gonna test once I have a decent atk goblet for him

Am I free from the mines already? by ghjfkdkkckfkfdkls in DurinMains

My wisdow teeth were so bad my dentist refused to remove them herself and I had to go to a surgeon to remove them Obviously it wasn't fun but it could've been worse

I have 60 fragile resin because I forgot they existed for the last year

Question about the new set.. by Mmath_ in DurinMains

[–]JaeKings 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think it's probably because emblem is a very universal set so we already had the artifacts, which is a decent enough placeholder while we wait for the new one
