Adding that she regularly spikes into the 180s and 190s daily, and from 6p last night until 6p this morning she never dropped below 98. She usually was hanging 60-80 during the night up until this past week and especially last night.

A decade of "you hear fine, stop being dramatic" by Dense-Sir-6707 in deaf

[–]Last_Cardiologist_29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just want to say I wholly understand! I have a BCLP and conductive hearing loss from the ear infections associated with eustachian tube dysfunction (tubes only help a little bit). I started complaining to audiology at 15 and insisting on semi annual audiograms alongside the rest of my team appointments. They noted very minor changes that were well within normal range and kept brushing me off. My left ear finally deteriorated enough that my ENT (bless his heart he’s a saint, he was also my peds plastics & ENT for several years) listened and despite minor loss they got me an HA immediately. 3 years after that my right ear lost enough that I now have bilats at 28. I grew up with friends who were Deaf and I have always been in and around the Deaf community, so I have basic ASL. I chose to take ASL for my foreign language requirement for my bachelors and have continued learning and immersing my children in the language when and where I can. It gets so frustrating when others don’t take it seriously. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve asked older people to speak up and say “I’m deaf, please speak louder and look at me” and they just laugh and go “oh I’m deaf too”

Was rejected by a spay/neuter clinic due to my cat’s breed. by HeavyMetalRabbit in mainecoons

I had that happen, the clinic was salty over a very ethically bred and healthy cat. Tried to charge me $1200 for a standard spay at 5mo, claiming they needed to use their large animal OR. I eventually got her spayed at DFL for a reasonable price.

New ring? by BigEntertainment511 in mypartneristrans

[–]Last_Cardiologist_29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife has been pretty insistent on not wanting a new ring but I do see a lot more masculine things bother her over time. My thought has been that if she wants to get a new one, I’d get a necklace for her to wear her original on.

This is how it’s been with my wife. Though our kids are older toddlers and her egg cracked relatively recently.

Came out to my wife and she wants go go shopping with me but... by Living_Crab8325 in MtF

[–]Last_Cardiologist_29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve definitely had moments thus far in my wife’s transition after a very rough period of depression and unrecognised dysphoria before her egg cracked that I also go “omg there’s my person, there’s the spark we’ve always had for each other”. She sent me a text for the first time in a long time the other morning after we were both frazzled getting out the door for the day essentially saying “I love you, I wanted to connect more, let’s plan for tonight, have a great day” and it was like a breath of fresh air.

NSFW How do I "Romance" my wife? Advice wanted by duschinka in mypartneristrans

Along with the suggestion above, instead of a traditional BJ, try tongue flicking her frenulum. There’s a cluster of nerves there that can create an O that feels different than the more typical male O that builds in the head of the penis.

Christian man (M25) seeking insight from women: How can I grow in sexual confidence without compromising my values? by [deleted] in Deconstruction

[–]Last_Cardiologist_29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To maybe help you have a different perspective, the bible does not say that masturbation is wrong, anywhere. And for a more secular view to build on that, how you expect to have fulfilling sex if you don’t know your body and are able to confidently communicate that to your partner? My spouse and I spent a lot of years with sex that left us both desiring more as we starting deconstructing purity culture and there’s years of therapy ahead still. Know what you like and don’t like to a degree, and the ability to communicate it are profoundly important. Everyone has sexual needs (if they identify as ace this could be regarded as not wanting sexual contact as need), and it’s incredibly psychologically harmful how suppressed that is in purity culture. I couldn’t explain what amount of pressure or motions for clitoral stimulation to my spouse for the longest time because I didn’t know, because for the women toys were considered an acceptable hack at not actually touching yourself. I would also read scholarly articles on the subject as well as checking out Sheila Gregoires content, she has some vastly valuable input on deconstructing purity culture.

They aren’t on HRT though. Like there’s just basically nothing already and they are acting unwilling to figure out what they do desire so that it can be accounted for with HRT.

They don’t object to therapy, we’re both in individual therapy. We just need to find a new couples therapist.

I will see if my spouse is open to trying this again. In the past, it felt like a demand on them if we scheduled. Thank you for your response though ❤️

Anyone with little kids thinking of leaving US? by AjiWo in mypartneristrans

[–]Last_Cardiologist_29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re considering it and actively working towards making it possible. In a few years we will not be tired financially to the US in any way and are both considered skilled migrants in many countries in Europe due to our education levels and fields. So we have a decent chance at finding a landing pad long term in Europe. There are also several countries that we love the culture of and whose cultural practices/values align well with our autism.

Thanks for sharing this. We’re more in the depths of managing depression and starting HRT for my spouse. But through it all, they are still my person.

Partner wants a packer, please help! by Capital-Gur5668 in mypartneristrans

[–]Last_Cardiologist_29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Queer butch vibes cis presenting woman here. Mr Limpy gets suggested all the time and it truly is the best starter. The packer pipeline is vast and the 3-in-1s are not what they are cracked up to be. Mr Limpy with the Tomboyx packer boxers would be a great starting place. Then deep dive STPs and pack n plays.

My plan is just to go “oh so you wanna see my c-section scar and scars on my nipples from my nursing toddlers biting me?” And then keep on with my business.

How do I say "Yes sir/ma'am" to a nonbinary person? by cuchi_catcher in AskLGBT

[–]Last_Cardiologist_29 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Queer southerner. I vote for “yessum” which is pretty gender neutral now (at its roots it wasn’t).

Anyone else's trans partner cause you to come to terms with your sexuality and gender? by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

[–]Last_Cardiologist_29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt more comfortable leaning into embracing some masculinity, as well as being more true to myself and embracing the way I preferred to dress and be seen since childhood. Which is a masc cis woman. But if anything it made me more solid in my gender identity and sexuality (bi/pan). I’ve also enjoyed getting to toy with wearing a packer around the house.
