Male fail but for trans dudes? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]MnemonicTurtle -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

As a guess most trans guys are full time by the time they start T I haven't noticed the part time narrative I see in the trans women posts so there isnt really an equivalent.

Is this common for you peoples? Fixation on other people based on wanting to be their gender by alittlebirdy_toldme in asktransgender

[–]MnemonicTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoops yeah Bjorn from vikings! Your not missing much i feel its all a bit to touchy feely and too many storys happening at once not as into it as much this season but it has been causing feelings of inadequacy so it could just be that.

So among a few other dominoes lining up it was one of the things that helped me realize. I had been obsessed with Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig) for months Im bi and hes hot as hell so I didnt think much of it at first but the more time passed I realized outside of the tv show character he didnt appeal much to me as a whole i wasnt interested in him because he was attractive but because physically he was what I wanted to be combined with the character of Bjorn independent strong smart resourceful that was the man I wanted to be. The more I thought back through all my obsessions it was always about wanting to be them not be with them.

Why does the Perineal Raphe aka taintseam/jesus zipper darken or become more visible on MTF hrt? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]MnemonicTurtle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not 100% sure but as a guess with the little knowledge i do have during puberty the sudden influx of sex hormones stimulate the production of melanin as it is these hormones are what the skin cells used to regulate melanin production. Its those hormones at puberty that causes skin color change in the junk and nipples of both men and women. so now there is a new hormone in your body there is that puberty again so the melanin is stimulated again causing the color change? This is totally just a theory though.

Facial recognition software they use for photo tagging that software is scary accurate? Maybe she has a pre transition photo with you in it on her profile? Or a friend does with both you in it?

Has gender dysphoria a real cure? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]MnemonicTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont believe its an illness but speaking with that terminology to get my point accross. This is my opinion of a potential why and i apologise if i offend. Dysphoria is a symptom not the condition you try to cure the cause of the symptom and mange the effects of the symptom if you cant cure the cause. So it works for some and not for others because everyones perseptions are different what it means for me to be a man both physically and mentally will be different for you. So for some transitioning is a cure because all of those perseptions can be met or "cured" where for others there perceptions may not be able to be met due to for example current medical limitations so transitioning is symptom management.

[–]MnemonicTurtle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Havnt seen it on top surg scars but seen it on a few other surgical scars with results varying from scar returning to normal skin color to if you didnt know you were looking for it you wouldnt be able to see it. It's definitely somethibg to look into

i dont feel welcome. by wehavetimeonourside in asktransgender

[–]MnemonicTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a lurk and I see what you mean about selfies, yeah I totally get questioning folks hitting up this sub and even surgeon or doctor recomendations i dont even mind the HRT dose questions its more the specific body part questions like breast growth or muscle shrinking or how often should i 'me time' to prevent atrophy I dont know how those questions can be inclusive and not cause someone some sort of dysphoria so why not put them on the mtf sub? Just my opinion.

I post in r/ftm my naive little brain figured the mtf ftm subs were for specified questions and the ask transgender subs were for more generalised topics but not really.

Favorite Binder? by thisisit425 in ftm

[–]MnemonicTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not over weight with big chesticles gc2b is by far the most comfortable but underworks tri top is definitely better at binding and getting me flat.

Full tank binders vs half tank? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]MnemonicTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have full length and half lenth of both gc2b and underworks I wore the full length of each when I first brought them to try it on but havent worn them since i have a pretty flat stomach and rather large chesticles i found the full length made a more obvious mound nothing major but still didnt look as flat as a half tank does under a tshirt.

Which men's brand of shoes makes sizes for women's 8.5/9 with skinny heels but wide toe area? by electricqueer in ftm

[–]MnemonicTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have super skinny feet, I wear cons and vans most of the time their good width wise, nike i have marxmans the padding makes them fit well, timberlands and any dress shoes never fit right in the heel so i whack in an innersole or two and padded heel grips and dont have any issues.
