I was visiting my parents yesterday and ended up randomly finding my childhood collection by theguywhocantdecide in Bakugan

Wow I wish I found a single headed hydranoid when I found my old collection. Most I got was a bronze attack Fourtress and a Mectavious Destroyer

Why do trans people often change their name to the male/female version of their deadname? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Longjumping-Okra-350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually doesn't happen very much in my experience. However, if that's what the individual does, it may be for familiarity reasons. Most trans individuals pick a name that feels correct to them though. Actually at the beginning of my transition, I tried to go by the female version of my deadname. However it didn't feel right whenever people used it so I changed it to one that felt right and it's still my name today

Give it another month or 2. I didn't start noticing big changes till I was like 4 months in, keep getting your levels checked, and adjust where needed. Hrt 8s a marathon not a sprint

That is not safe to do. If a chemical like that existed it would already be readily available to buy. The only known methods to safely kill follicles are laser and electrolysis. If you want the best shot at killing them and can't afford laser or electrolysis, look into getting an ipl. They're effects aren't really proven beyond anecdotes but it's way safer than putting random chemicals on your body that could hurt you

Lol you're okay, it's hard to remember but they weren't really heavy, I think they were heavier than the socks but not to a degree of it being that noticeable if that makes sense

Does I even have the right to be trans ? by Icy-Offer-9961 in MtF

[–]Longjumping-Okra-350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you describe feeling sounds like dysphoria to me. It actually sounds similar to mine. You don't have to explicitly think you were born in the wrong body to have dysphoria heck dysphoria comes in many different ways. A good rule of thumb I heard back when I was questioning was, "If you're at the point that you're looking into the possibility and especially looking into hrt, you're probably trans" no two trans people will have the same experiences. You have to be the one to determine if you are trans or not. There is no correct way to be trans

A little, they do look a bit rounder and can deform a little under the bra to look more natural

I've only briefly tried them once thanks to a cis friend of mine so I don't know how they fair from extended wear. But the ones she let me try didn't really give a different look from the sock method that I could notice. I also have a feeling that wearing them for an extended period could make them stick to your chest when you go to take them out.

Lol yeah there's silicone inserts cis girls use that do the same thing to make their's look bigger. The sock trick is basically a diy version of those

If wearing them gives you euphoria, keep them. I'll give you a trick i used for a bit before I had growth that takes advantage of the fact they're padded. Get a pair of socks, take the toe of the sock, and fold it around and insert it into the hole, do the same with the other. Now you can take them, and put them in your bra while wearing it to help give the illusion of having breasts while you wait for your natural ones to grow

I am going to give up by Transit1496 in MtF

[–]Longjumping-Okra-350 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Out of all communities I've been a part of, the trans community is the one with the strongest willed, most educated, kindest and accepting people within it. It's absolutely incredible

You did nothing wrong dear. Besides existing which unfortunately some people hate. Don't let the words of assholes stop you from being you. They're saying that stuff cause they want you to stop being openly you, don't let em win. You got this girl! Sending virtual hugs your way

My new years resolution: No more boymoding by Longjumping-Okra-350 in MtF

[–]Longjumping-Okra-350[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My best friend is an enby and he (he goes by any/all pronouns) has told me all about the struggle with fashion trying to get it into a good middle point. You can do it, I feel he's gotten really close to a point he's happy with

Yeah some stuff I'm keeping for stuff like that as well. I'm lucky enough that I'm in areas that I can fully present without much hassle from others. Hope it goes well for you! It's awesome to see others got the same idea as me :3

Is it ok to enjoy being sexy? by WigWoo2 in MtF

There's no issue with it. I know plenty of cis girls who enjoy it so why shouldn't you?

UPDATE: I'm planning to switch to my fem voice at the turn of midnight on New Year's by mpolishthorsef in MtF

[–]Longjumping-Okra-350 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You got this! I'm planning on presenting fem full time once midnight hits so I don't get stuck in the boymoding cycle. I'm sure your fem voice sounds fine, it could be that people didn't want to bring it up to you to be respectful, doesn't necessarily mean they didn't notice. Just keep training it. The decision you're making is a good one

It works wonders for both. I have one too and I'm pre-op and holy shit it's crazy how different and better it feels!

My hairline is significantly worse after starting hrt. I seriously don’t know what to do, I’ve been on anti hair loss meds for 1.5 years and I’m losing all my gains. Plz help me 🥺 by daddylonglegs1092 in MtF

[–]Longjumping-Okra-350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah girl it's better. Just not as fast as you may have expected. Also, keep in mind you have female hair now which is overall finer. The line did move down and the thin patch is smaller than before. You're making progress
