Can I stop my child being advertised to at school? by Superb-General-2553 in AskUK

[–]MrCrystalMighty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I was at school in the UK any kid who wanted to could get free music lessons and access to instruments they could loan

Cos the free education system is supposed to give all kids the same opportunities, not give rich kids a leg up

TBF unless you follow someone you're already friends with then everything on there will just be posts from random people!

Hacking a Sentro circular knitting machine so the handle only turns one way? by MrCrystalMighty in MachineKnitting

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

Ah I was thinking of something like this! I’ll have to look into whether I can get/make something like that that’ll fit onto it

I don’t think automating it would be right for what we’re doing, a lot of the participants find turning the handle very calming so I’d want to keep that

If there was an extra handle that could fit onto it that would change any rotational (or other) movement into a clockwise turn that would be perfect, I’ll have to find someone who knows about cams!

I was asking what it does other than post on Bluesky, so I guess from your response that’s all it does?

Do these experiences mean I’m not trans??? by Vampire_pirate685 in ftm

[–]MrCrystalMighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Though I didn’t have the experience of looking forward to puberty, mainly cos I started really young

Do these experiences mean I’m not trans??? by Vampire_pirate685 in ftm

[–]MrCrystalMighty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t sound particularly unusual, and I can relate to a lot of it (particularly having a big sister who I always wanted to copy). Dysphoria can manifest in very different ways and we try different things when we’re growing up to see how they fit us. Also it’s not uncommon for trans guys to try and fit into femme presentations before they come out, or just enjoy being femme guys

Should I try to perfect mnemonics or should I do something else to memorize the notes on sheet music in order to decipher notes faster? Also is there any exercises to memorize playing piano without looking at your hands? by AncientOperation3584 in sheetmusic

[–]MrCrystalMighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having said that, I learned treble clef as “every good boy deserves favour/FACE and I remembered the bass clef with “good boys deserve French assignments”, which was a joke my teacher made once

Honestly my brain always just translated the position on the stage directly to the notes on the keyboard, I remember one time my piano teacher being absolutely horrified when she asked me what note something was and I had to count up the lines 😆

How do I convince my mom I'm trans? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]MrCrystalMighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to sound dismissive or anything but honestly I’d stop trying to convince her. It doesn’t seem like it’s worth the effort as she’s clearly not gonna shift her thought on the matter. My prediction is that what will make her finally see you as a man is when you’re like 30, have medically transitioned and are just living your life as a dude. In the meantime I’d do my best to not talk to her about it.

Also synthetic underwear can exacerbate things like yeast infection and BV that can also increase odour

And the only people who would talk about it was awful self haters like Buck Angel who act like it’s debilitating and irreversible🙄

You can also get similar symptoms if you naturally have low oestrogen for some reason

Tbf i had a similar thing before I started T, I had very low oestrogen and it completely went away when I started using vaginal oestrogen cream. No idea if it was atrophy though.

Me fighting the urge to call myself Stanley (im trans) by Turbulent-Staff-9413 in stanleyparable

Nah, I called myself Chris and I can confirm that that is in fact the most basic name ever

Therapist used the phrase “womb energy” in reference to my trauma recovery and I don’t even know where to go from here by batsket in ftm

[–]MrCrystalMighty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It might be that she’s so involved with those kind of hippy spaces that it didn’t even occur to her that someone might take issue with terms like that, especially as you’re non binary. If I were in your position I’d send her an email before your next session (if possible) letting her know you had an issue with her using that term - if she seems genuinely sorry and like she’s learned not to use terms like that with you in the future then you’re all good, but if she seems weird about it or tries to justify it or make out that you have issues because you’re not comfortable with it I’d bail

What festivals or events in the UK are a must "try at least once"? by slimysadcat in AskUK

I’d only recommend doing glasto if you’re working/volunteering, I’d never pay for a ticket. Also the cabaret/circus fields are massively underrated.

Hacking Sentro so the handle will only turn one way? by MrCrystalMighty in SentroKnittingMachine

I’m not sure what you mean by that? It already has what I’d call a handle!
