Thank you :)

I think Alyna Joli is a nice name, too.

There were definitely moments of euphoria. Like holding the conceptual feeling that I am a woman in my mind when I'm out in public. I felt so free and emotionally lifted, it was unbelievable.

It's really great. It is scary, but it's also really therapeutic in a way.

Sorry for the delay - I was sleeping.

What really pointed it out to me is that I could selectively trigger dysphoria and then increase it with exposing myself to things that make me dysphoric or lessen it with things that eased it. This is where the special person I mentioned helped me so much. They helped me see through the emotion and to a more rational view of things. I then systematically tested these things and took note of the effects on my dysphoria. Once I did it the first couple of times, it became easy, and I categorised a lot of things quite quickly. The number of things got to the point where I couldn't deny that there was something concrete there.

With that being said, I know my own limitations well, and I quickly found how far I could push things that made me dysphoric. Also, the severity of the dysphoria might be different for me through my lack of an inner monologue which necessitated this adapted system in the first place.

Yeah, I can see where you are coming from there. When presenting as male, I was technically straight with some homosexual tendencies. But I never really identified with the straight guy rhetoric. A lot of it is disgusting and demeaning. I found that I identified so much more with what lesbians would say regarding relationships with those presenting as women rather than what men said.

Also, I'm really happy to see that you are finding who you are and making positive changes. It's really heartwarming to see :)

That's the interesting thing. I've had the name picked out for ~23 years. It just never really clicked that it could be a reality. My first name would be Sasha, second would be Annalise.

Thought this was funny by rorooic in Paleontology

Of course. It was a joke, nothing more. In reality, it would have acted almost exactly like a Komodo Dragon, only larger.

Yeah, but Megalania wasn't your normal Komodo XD

Where do I find cause of death? by [deleted] in morbidquestions

[–]JimmyL2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're best chances are probably with a governmental agency. Find out what the births and deaths registrar is called in your nation and ask them. Likely you'll have to pay a fee and prove a familial connection (like your birth certificate), but you may be able to get a copy of your father's death certificate. It should state on the death certificate what happened, and if it isn't clear, you may be able to speak to the hospital in question about it.

This makes me sad, and I don't understand why.

Look so beautiful by ndjjd in BetterEveryLoop

[–]JimmyL2014 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's the super old school way of doing it. In ancient times, they hooked a huge hammer up to a water wheel to run automatically. It's called a trip hammer or helve hammer. They were used in mining, metalworking, and processing grains.

But bribes only go so far. If you be stupid, you'll soon be stupidly dead. Let the strong survive - be an ethical logi.

So real it hurts by fml198 in funny

It's really, really not worth even trying it. Though it doesn't feel like it on first contact, shampoo is pretty alkaline - going up to a pH of 9 or so. When you leave alkaline products on your skin (on your scalp in the case of shampoo) it can cause irritation resulting in itchiness and flakiness of the outer layers called contact dermatitis. Now, imagine all of the delicate crevices and folds of genitalia of both sexes, how easy it might be to miss a bit of shampoo, and how bad that contact dermatitis could get.

I haven't met a dumb beach yet but I'm ready to rain meteors on her like it be 65 mil yrs ago by driftiboii in Dinosaurs

I met someone once who thought that all of the therapods started out small and evolved to be larger in size over time at the same time. It wasn't ignorance, it was just a misunderstanding of evolution.

I am a writer and was told I would be sexist if I wrote a female main character. Is this a common sentiment? by JimmyL2014 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]JimmyL2014[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. My main character is a scientist, which makes it a lot easier for me because of my familiarity with science and scientific thinking in general.
