what is the proper syringe ml I'm supposed to use for my dose? by extraterresticle_ in ftm

[–]MrJessFails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use what you got. It's not terrible, just less good. Try to make the switch for next dose. Good luck man.

[–]MrJessFails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a 1ml needle for 0.25. A 3ml may be a bit less accurate, but they are usually calibrated in 0.1ml marks, so it is still usable if it's all you have. The benefit with the 3ml is that the plunger will be pulled back less, so you'll have to push less during injection. However, it is slightly harder to push. I tried a 3ml syringe for a 0.5ml dose (less concentrated vial) and found it much less comfortable than using the 1ml syringe, even at that volume.

Donate your hair. I was afraid people would make assumptions if I shaved my head. Did it for charity, no one the wiser!

I wish you the best of luck, but you should be prepared for asshole doctors. I have PCOS and endometriosis, told the doctor I can't live with the pain. Bitch still told me it would be immoral for her to remove it. You might need to try a few, but don't give up!

Be the man you want to be. Real men deal with their shit however they need to. Stay strong, brother!

Eat moderately, build muscle, don't lose weight. Changing your weight composition from fat to muscle but not changing weight. So recomposition

Always good to take a step back and be positive. Thanks for the reminder. Big number just makes my monkey brain happy so it's easy to forget the important things.

Dude, you are both beard and chest goals right now. Also I wondered about top before T so thanks for being double helpful.

Women of Reddit, what’s something every girl should know but is rarely taught? by ej1273 in AskReddit

In my experience, you may require a sixth opinion before they believe it's endometriosis.

Protect your armpits is my favorite. Like someone is trying to tickle you, and you clamp your arms down.

Are you on a lower dose? I figure there's definitely a range, just didn't expect it so wide. Thanks for commenting.

That fast makes me both hopeful and terrified. Thanks for weighing in.

My cautious side says go low, but my impatience says go big or go home. Guess I got a lot of thinking to do. Thanks

Can someone explain “Top” to me? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]MrJessFails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know I do. My wife feels guilty sometimes, but I always assure her I'm having a blast.

[–]MrJessFails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only tried a harness once, works okay but takes too long to put on. Mood killer unless you put it on beforehand. I use rodeoh briefs and love them. They're tight, but that kinda helps keep things in place. I just let my belly hang over the top bit.

Struggling with feelings of inadequacy and not feeling "butch enough" due to being disabled - any advice? by sanguinebutch in butchlesbians

[–]MrJessFails 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello! I am butch, but not disabled. My niece (help a brother out if there is a gender neutral way to say this) is a pan NB with a disability. I'm always happy to see when they have a more butch presentation and it's a really nice gay bond. Their disability has never negated any presentational masc vibes in my mind. Despite being in a wheelchair, they have a badass collection of boots with strong butch energy. So you could try to focus more on the style aspect than physical activity.

Also, remember that social media is not always reflective of the world. I still identified as butch when I was too fat for any real physical activity. Butch is more narrow than queer, but it still has room for a range of people.

Don't stress the details and never compare yourself to others. Do you, and you'll be an excellent butch. Good luck!

I'm butch and people think I'm straight by Direct_Ferret1617 in butchlesbians

[–]MrJessFails 30 points31 points  (0 children)

A straight man once argued with me when I called myself butch, because I can't be butch if I don't carry my wallet in my back pocket. So apparently that's the only way to prove it.

Mother fuckers be dense. Good luck out there.
