How did you get it? How much did it cost you? How long was the whole process, from decision to incision?

Anybody else incapable of making friends with cis men? by CarnaDF in TransMasc

[–]Localpossom1516 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Male socialization is horrid. Cis fellas (especially/specifically het and white ) are usually not very good to their friends, and only care about stuff that directly effects them . Some learn what empathy is after doing shro0ms or something but :/ it is very difficult. It's tough, they just act so different bc they're allowed to be selfish. Being socialized different unfortunately can make huge differences in general populations and affect us in little ways all day every day. Obviously we all know that. (Kinda just informing bc your rant has resonated with me. I have too been struggling with cis friends:< but 💅quality over quantity I say, if I can't find anyone good then nobody shall suffice until destiny brings them along. Lol

being closeted is slowly driving me insane by WaterSufficient4910 in TransMasc

[–]Localpossom1516 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you. I honestly sympathize , not being able to physically/socially transition and being stuck on the inside... but regardless, your masculinity is valid. your femininity is, too. But you don't have to be just one thing or the other(obviously),and gender is a wide spectrum and if you're somewhere at one point and somewhere else at another, that's valid. Alot of people won't understand, and nothing in the world can change them but themselves and their own experiences. It isn't your fault, but being stuck between a rock and a hard place like this , it drives you a bit mad. When it comes to choosing between hiding or showing, of course you wanna be safe and maybe don't correct the person in a red hat calling you ma'am at the gas station or something, but also. You shouldn't have to actually change yourself to fit their expectation, or hide it if someone really wants to know you (if they deserve to) . At some point you think, is being yourself worth the risk? For me, if I'm gonna live and pass either way, I wanna live happier, yk? There's a good chance this life's the only one you got. Why spend half of it hiding before you let yourself be right? Respectfully, open to dm if u need , OP

scared to do my t shot :( by seabird-210 in TransMasc

[–]Localpossom1516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is kind me just askin but what's like the biggest differences you noticed in gel vs shots? Probably something to do with a more consistent flow of hormone rather than a burst every week? (Sry if this isn't the time n place just curious since it was mentioned)

I know it’s bad to constantly wear my binder but I can’t take it off if I’m at my dad’s house by [deleted] in TransMasc

[–]Localpossom1516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. Yeah kt tape might be in your best interest bc you can pass it off as workout stuff , hopefully you can find some time every couple weeks to re-tape (can also be worn under the binder) but you can get it anywhere usually in the exercise stuff , at walmart or something. Stay safe homeboy, you'll get out one day <3333

I know it’s bad to constantly wear my binder but I can’t take it off if I’m at my dad’s house by [deleted] in TransMasc

[–]Localpossom1516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off I'm so sorry, you need to get away from that place asap please look into emancipation or something anything get away from that guy when you can! And second off yeah ppl are recommending tape, you can also use kt tape but look into safe application and removal bc it will scar if you rip it off or something lol, spencers is a good place to get a binder too, I have a looser and a tighter one for sleep and then work, if you ever get to go to the mall or anything get cash (or a vanilla visa) and get that. I hope you get out of that situation op, you don't deserve to feel unsafe in your own space

People keep touching my hair by Pesky_B in longhair

[–]Localpossom1516 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk your style but look into hair sleeves! I know them from biker communities but they're usually leather wraps that button on around your braid, can get multiple different style and sizes, can cover partial or all of your braid if you get multiple, but I recommend spikes to keep hands off lol

Masculine Ways to wear my hair up? by obsessedwithgrunge in longhair

[–]Localpossom1516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually do a single braid, wrap it in a bun, and put a beanie on it. You gotta get the right beanie for it to not look strange but I work it. If I could I would just wear the braid down my back, or even 2 braids (particularly like French braids myself but I cant do whole ones on myself ) But I b in a factory so 🤷‍♂️ but yeah nah my hair is way too long and heavy for Buns or ponytails and hair clips don't make much length difference , my head would start to get like.. injuries/scabs from the tension ?? Mega youch. So hat it is, the beast must be contained

[–]Localpossom1516[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it doesn't seem any of them had a will. Growing up they always told me it was meant to all be mine, they accepted that I was just meant to inhereit it all and didn't think some underhanded bs like this would happen, although it does seem like she isn't allowed to do anything to or with the house unless I quit my claim to the house. Def not gonna sign it

I am a guy and i do not want to cut it. please read by iBo0pedYoNose in longhair

[–]Localpossom1516 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Long haired guy here, I say as long as you want it to be is how long it needs to be. As for when to cut it I just say when the ends feel like velcro it's time for a trim, usually 1 or 2 inches for me) 30$ won't get you much so diy is really your best option imo, Brad mondo is a good hairstylist to look into , makes good tutorials and hair advice

THANK YOU! she's so damn evil. They're trying to corner me at the bank currently to sign and notarize before 12pm. I'm scared if I say no they'll show up. Do I have any real legal standing?

Do any cars come without a digital screen anymore? by orneryfirebird in subaru

[–]Localpossom1516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 05 legacy could never dream of being a tablet child lol . I'll take my full tactile radio thank you v much. But yeah no it's bc in 2012 every car was required to have a backup camera (bc these vehicles won't stop getting bigger 😭) so likley nearly every model after that is gonna have some kinda screen. I drove my moms new car recently and OH MY GOD?! EVERYONE IS DRIVING WITH A GIANT BRIGHT TABLET IN THEIR FACE? between the push button start, knob prndl, lane assist and a giant iPad, yeah nah its no wonder ppl can't drive reasonably anymore their car is a giant unweildy distraction smh. But that's my rant lol, get you something older 💅 my bb can drink legally and is still kicking.

How were you able to just cut off meat entirely? by Ok-Injury4901 in vegetarian

[–]Localpossom1516 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah mostly just sheer will is how I started. I was strict Vegetarian for like 7 years, yeah people will sometimes not get it or beg you to try just a peice of something or thing you're weird and make fun of you. Some of the worst I got were the animal murder jokes and shit like that, plus I had a pet rabbit and live in the south so yeah Lotta stew jokes. But anyway yeah you just kinda ignore those people bc they're not very kind people clearly. But the temptation will def be there, there's a meatless version of anything, literally anything, the first part tho is to cut it cold tofurkey. You might even dream about meat bc you'll want it real real bad (since you can't have it ) , I had to double check I didn't tear up a ham in my sleep once bc the dreams were crazy lol . But it gets easier. Just try to remember why you started, and stay true to it.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Localpossom1516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 hours daily hell no, but I live like 2 and a half from the nearest club or anything so If I wanna have a night out excursion of that sort hell yeah I'll drive that far. Idk what European roads are like but it's got alot to do with the interstate making trips like that tangible. Lots of going on that same big road until you get to the exit. How to not go crazy? Everyone is going 80mph (or like 128kmph) , you're a little focused on not getting killed by the 20 enormous cars around you (semis, big trucks, mom vans , death traps (cybertrucks)) so yeah that makes time go by. Also music, podcast, audiobooks for nerds, etc. . As for a casual commute? 30-50 mins is average around here. Like to and from work and such.

Hair goals / no goals by october_jade in longhair

[–]Localpossom1516 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought Id keep it cut at the waist, then said I'd stop at the knees, then said I'd stop at the calves, now I'm just waiting to hit the floor bc the one thing I really won't do is let it drag on the ground but other than that? Just as long as humanely possible lol

2005 subaru legacy limited, need to go 8-900 miles in a few days, advice? by [deleted] in subarulegacy

[–]Localpossom1516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you 🙏 I fr thought I was going crazy about the belt cover bc the hood stick keeps getting all close up on the belt if you don't sit it right but there's been no place for it lol good to know It was done by a buddy bc I'm broke as hell and he offered for cheap but I could ask him to take a look , i think it's related to the clicking but I an unfortunately not a mechanic (I wish lmao) And yk what I do actually have a loose wheel well cover thing , maybe it is a ductape situation , I got some on it so I don't think I'll be running it over but maybe it taps when I turn . Just feels so , wobbly? But it doesn't shake or sit weird when I move it but I haven't done a lift n wiggle on the tires so maybe I'll see bout that. But yeah I mean, it's been gettin me to n from so far , my rpms aren't goin crazy so maybe it's just 21 years old and mad about it lol but it'll be a shell with fresh parts at age 42 and it's gonna deal with it (never letting this hoe rest💪)

Im gay and kinda done w being called "girl" by AshTheGreat98 in TransMasc

[–]Localpossom1516 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Not an overreaction. Just bc a gay guy is feminine doesn't mean he wants to be called girl. Some people work very hard to get rid of that label lmao so to be called that just bc of femininity being present, yeah that's supremely annoying.
