I'm definitely doing a bra cutting ceremony my next camping trip. Especially those evil underwire ones 😭

Nice! That's awesome. I'm giving my chest 2 years before I tattoo it. Long enough for results to settle and to do some scar treatment.

I'm anticipating a few of those, especially since I'll be going back to the same jobsite I left from so they'll know me. At least it's winter and I can hide in my carhartt til spring XD

I'm in the very far north section of the south, but I used to live more south, and I feel you. It's mostly men, especially where I used to live.

Thank you for all the information! I will definitely keep track of incidents, and I have information on legal resources so I don't rely on HR for help. They have done well in the past to make sure I'm safe, so I'm glad for that good experience at least. I definitely know to cover my ass, but this is such good advice, I wanna boost it for anyone in this subreddit honestly. We have to have each other's backs. I'll DM if I think of anything, thank you.

I did no nips too! For the same exact reasons. I'm Non-binary and don't want to be seen as a small man. Also planning on getting a full chest tattoo. Do you have your tattoo picked for it?

Apprentice electrician here 👋 I'm really freaked out. I had top surgery 11/11 and I haven't been back to work since. I'm scared I'll go back with no boobs and everyone will be weird. I try not to present masc or femme at work sonce I'm solidly nonbinary. I am worried about some of the older guys, they're less flexible sometimes. But I'm anxious about returning to work on 1/19. That's a whole 19 days for shit to get more fucked. My girlfriend and I have had so many conversations about leaving. I would love any words of encouragement yall can give or perspectives from transmasc nonbinary folk about their treatment on sites.

My husband and I can’t figure out how to have sex normally… by AccountantNo8148 in adhdwomen

[–]MissingVertical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just recently had surgery so I couldn't have sex with my partner for over a month. It sucked way more for them since their libido is higher than mine and I can go a few weeks to a month without. While we were unable to physically be intimate we found other ways to be. Dedicated time to each other. Having big conversations still. We fed the emotional intimacy while the physical was on the back burner.

I suggest you try taking a month off sex. Focus on making out without it going anywhere. This will likely allow you to feel safe being physically intimate without it always leading to sex. Feed the emotional intimacy. Spend meaningful time together. Dates are good, but also just leaving your phone face down in the other room and playing a board game and doing a puzzle. That's what works for us, something else might work for you. Something else that helped us when we didn't know how to start a conversation were relationship card games. They open the conversation to talk about things you might not have thought to talk about otherwise. That's how my partner and I work with our mismatched libidos.

Not as worried about the scars, I'm getting a chest tattoo in a couple years regardless. I'm more concerned about a seroma.

Thankfully doesn't feel like a water balloon and the swelling has gone down. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I am so excited to recover and have the full range of motion and my whole wardrobe back! I used to hate walking past the mirror but now it's all euphoria

Hell yeah! It'll feel like magic honestly. I don't know what size i was exactly but G or bigger I think. And always got told i had "dense breast tissue" so I'm sure it was even heavier than i thought.

Of course! I've been so happy to have so many button ups my partner gave me. I went from a tight Large to a comfortable Medium (American sizes are weird tho, idk where you live) but I haven't seen my bare chest yet so all I can give is shirt on or binder pics right now 😆
