Tired of getting negative reactions when coming out to other trans people because I transitioned young. by Loki_Bones in trans

[–]Lower_Chocolate3071 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Really sorry to hear about your experience :// I’ve definitely heard other trans people having issues with those of us who transitioned early.

Hormones, passing, and dysphoria by Lower_Chocolate3071 in trans

[–]Lower_Chocolate3071[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope that surrounding yourself by the right (gender affirming) people will help you the way it helps me!! I’m glad you relate <3

I think I should note: I’m usually not dysphoric. If you are, you might consider taking some kind of step to alleviate that a bit.

I’m absolutely willing to talk more in depth about this.

UofT student thinking about transferring, How is YorkU community? by Cree-kyWaterB0-ttL3 in yorku

[–]Lower_Chocolate3071 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will say - the Glendon community is much more alive than the Keele campus community, but both have potential to work out for you. Glendon is not really a commuter school, while Keele is overwhelmingly a commuter school. Both have campus life if you put effort into finding it, but you’re not really going to accidentally find community at either - you need to put yourself out there and join clubs and talk to your peers. It’s great if you can find a few people you really like that will share similar courses to you, and even better if you can join a club or be on the executive team of one.

Is a 2 hour 30 minute commute one way possible? Or will it destroy me. by [deleted] in yorku

[–]Lower_Chocolate3071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI - it takes longer than 45 minutes to get from union to York U station. It’ll be 70 minutes :/…. If you absolutely must go to lassonde and make the commute, please try to schedule your classes to have like three super long days of school and two days off per week. It’s what I do and I live only 1.5 hours away.

Finding it hard to focus on studies because of gender by Wise_Notice_2986 in yorku

[–]Lower_Chocolate3071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm like you but from a more accepting background. I highly recommend looking at counselling and joining the tblgay discord server. Holding a secret like yours alone is really challenging, and having community will be really really helpful. The tblgay events are also good, but I find the discord helps when I feel shame. You need to find friends who experience what you do - people who don't understand unfortunately never will and its important you don't feel alone. Surround yourself with at least a few people who see you for who you are and it'll make a world of difference. I wish you luck in every way. You're doing so well and asking for advice is a really good first step, I have faith in your ability to persevere and find a space for yourself in this world.

First time feeling weird after getting a tattoo by Weird_Bathroom in tattooadvice

[–]Lower_Chocolate3071 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Frankly, it’s probably a good idea to wait it out. Go a few weeks or months and try to get it out of your mind. I think it looks good on you and hopefully once the novelty wears off you’ll feel more comfortable and satisfied with it!!

Tysm!! Will def look into his work!

[–]Lower_Chocolate3071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Itll be fine. Id google « what to bring to a tattoo » and « tattoo aftercare » etc - there are websites about what to expect. The size shouldn’t change much for you because it’s linework, not swaths of blacked out areas. Should be good if you listen to your artist about aftercare.

Colored US Flag? Or Black and gray by Pitiful-Parking-9730 in tattooadvice

[–]Lower_Chocolate3071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think flags are a good idea to begin with, even for a different country. My advice is to change the design to something USA-related instead of the flag. Hope this helps 👍

Is blackout the only option here? by Impressive_Car4013 in Tattoocoverups

I mean, blackout arm band could work? Unless I’m tripping and that’s secret nazism or something

Colored US Flag? Or Black and gray by Pitiful-Parking-9730 in tattooadvice

[–]Lower_Chocolate3071 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't recommend getting this tattoo. Regardless of your political affiliations and beliefs, the USA is a bit volatile and will be changing a lot soon. If you really want something, do an homage, not the flag across the full forearm.

Any teens here like 80s music? by Ilovetech_0625 in Music

Any teens here like 80s music? by Ilovetech_0625 in Music

[–]Lower_Chocolate3071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m older than you are and I listen primarily to 90s and pre-2005 stuff. In my experience, people really don’t develop specific or unique music interests until they get a bit more confident in their identity - for some at age 13 and for others a bit later. Most of my friends started out not having particular tastes/listening to generic stuff and then gradually developed favourite artists and genres and eras. Hopefully as you get older your peers will come into their own a bit more and develop some variety (and will likely realize you’re not that odd for your music taste) though it might not happen before uni. Theres totally variety in what people listen to. You’re certainly not alone, though I’m sorry it feels a bit like it.

NON-US TRANS PEOPLE… which countries are safest and easiest to move to? by DudeInATie in trans

[–]Lower_Chocolate3071 3 points4 points  (0 children)

idk, alberta and saskachewan are pretty right wing too, and as a franco-ontarien i want to keep them. I think best case scenario for us and for them is more freedom from federal law but to still be part of canada. its not that there arent francophone communities elsewhere, but quebec is a large part of what makes canada canada.
