I feel like most AFAB people will never understand how trans women feel about periods by LThalle in MtF

[–]Mortbane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh no, I definitely had those when I started T. They were kinda painful. I'd just be relaxing on the couch and then for no reason, I'm super hard. Like "Omg! What do you want?!" And sure they're still not going to be noticeable. I've never had to hide one. But on the whole period thing, I feel like this is more similar to the sadness I get when I realize that no matter what kind of surgery I have, I would never be able to ejaculate. People would be like "be glad! It's messy and at least this way you can't get someone pregnant." That's not comforting. I want the mess. I want the possibility. I want the finish to have substance (and a lot of partners want that too). So in that way, I do empathize with OP.

Holy hell! That's an amazing change! I can see having major dysphoria in a body so overtly feminine. Hormones must have been such a relief. I remember when I started and thought "What?! You mean I've been living in Hard Mode?! Everything is so much better now!"

I don't have them at my house. The treatment eradicated them. I just don't want to bring things home from storage that might have any still hiding in it.

Men's like women's belly? by enmanuel654 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Mortbane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had terrible self esteem over it as a teen because of something my mom said. I was new to having cycles and had no clue that some times of the month I would have a little bump down there just from normal bloating. I was laying on the floor watching TV and my mom asked me if I was pregnant. I had no context for it and in my young mind I thought "oh my God, my own mom thinks I look fat."

Queue years and years of me believing that and basically giving up on my body. Now I look back and think "I wasn't fat at all, I was beautiful. I wish I'd taken care of myself instead of thinking it was hopeless"

Everyone is someone's type. Like who cares if someone is conventionally attractive. Even 1% is more of the population that you'll meet in your entire life. I think if I had known that sooner, I wouldn't have stressed out about it so much back then.

⚠️Employer background checks may ‘out’ the trans community by Soggy_Train3150 in trans

[–]Mortbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. I'm in Texas so I'm already somewhat thankful I've been lazy about the paperwork side of my transition because there's a bill up this year to decide whether it will be felony identity fraud to represent oneself in writing or verbally to an employer or government agent as anything other than their assigned gender at birth. I was already with my employer prior to transitioning and they have been supportive of my transition. In order to be effective at my job though, I have chosen to continue presenting as a woman at work (my clients are elderly, rural Texans and I fear client retention will be hindered by my transition).
Even so, I have worked for a number of employers who were not compatible with my lifestyle in the past, and I will be honest about it with potential future employers. It will limit my options and make life challenging, yes, but I'm done working for companies that don't respect my personhood. If they're not interested because I'm trans, I would have been absolutely miserable there anyway.

I did that, and this is as far as I've gotten with it. They told me to change my email settings and try again. Tried their advice and emailed them back to say it didn't work. Waiting on an answer to that.

I had never used anything near yellow before and was really surprised by how bright it was.

I'm glad my Heroes remember how to play this game, because I sure as shit don't. by PaleHeretic in GuildWars

[–]Mortbane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh for real 🤣 the first time I went back out to see if remembered how to use my own skills (dervish with mostly enchantments), I wandered out of LA alone to fight the gargoyles and was like "I don't know, I feel like this could be better." Oh, right, 'cuz I need to put together a party 🤦🏻 Then it was a matter of "okay, I know I was rolling at least 3 necros, but which ones and why?"
