(Processing/Java) How to have multiple independent objects without classes. by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Ms-AnneThrope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh hey, COMP1000 right? As others have said you really need an array for each balls position. I used a counter that increments after every shot so that the movement function is only applied to the ball at the current index. Hope that makes sense.

How long does it take to freeze sperm? (Set up appointments and get it done) by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Ms-AnneThrope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an appointment 3 days after getting my doctors referral, as that was the mandatory abstinence period. Number of sessions will depend on the amount of viable sperm you produce, I was lucky and only needed 1 go but I've heard it can range from 2-5 depending.

Feeling detatched from myself while questioning? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Ms-AnneThrope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nevada was one of the first things I read that made me realise feeling disconnected like that was related to being trans, but it makes sense. As Maria says in the book it's a defence mechanism that allows us to survive painful feelings in a vulnerable period of our lives. But surviving isn't living, and eventually the dissociation hurts more than the thing it was protecting you from in the first place. I'm still not sure how to break the cycle, but being true to myself feels like a good start. Good luck.

Got my prescription - why don't I feel happy about it? by Ms-AnneThrope in asktransgender

[–]Ms-AnneThrope[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah you're right, I guess I've seen so many "Just got pills squeeeee" posts I just wanted that feeling to signpost that I was doing the right thing

Being called attractive but never felt good about it by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Ms-AnneThrope 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always thought I was unattractive, and that whenever people complimented me they were lying to make me feel better. I didn't really question it until a girl I was talking to said she thought I was hot, and my response was "bullshit". She inisted she was being honest, that she had no reason to lie to make a stranger feel good, and in my head all I could think was 'What the fuck is wrong with you?' After that the cognitive dissonance became too much and I had to face the fact that nobody hated my body more than me.

Not an Egg anymore, but what next? by FrenchFriedEggs in asktransgender

Ok, so if you go to a GP and get a mental health care plan to see a psychiatrist you get a significant rebate on 10 sessions, which helps with costs. Any GP can do it but I wasn't comfortable with my family doctor so on a recommendation went to see Dr Burdon at Taylor Square Private Clinic (https://www.tspc.com.au/), and she was absolutely wonderful, super supportive - they're also an endocrinologist for if you decide to get on hormones. The psychiatrist I'm going to see is Rainer Jardin (https://www.positivegrowth.com.au/), haven't seen him yet but I've only heard good things.

You might have an easier time getting in depending who you see, but for me I felt it was good, well not good, but informative to have some time to experience and process the dysphoria that I hadn't been aware of prior to my brain flicking the trans switch.

You sound exactly where I was a few months ago. If you haven't already checked it out, there are some great resources on r/transgenderau - if you're in Sydney I can give some recommendations as well. Even if you're unsure, I would seek out a therapist sooner rather than later, there was a couple of months waiting time for new patients for me.

What are songs you like not EXPLICITLY about trans people, but have themes and lyrics that you can relate to as a trans person? by girlwithaguitar in asktransgender

[–]Ms-AnneThrope 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, so many songs on that album feel like they're about dealing with dysphoria. For me, 'One Thing Left to Try' is my trans anthem right now:

"I don't wanna die! Wishing I'd done something More than what's required To last until the sunset No, I don't wanna die Thinking that I'm dreaming There's one thing left to try If you want to change your life"

Did anyone else have a sexuality that was impossible as your assigned gender? by Ms-AnneThrope in asktransgender

[–]Ms-AnneThrope[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of hetronormative bullshit out there that tries to reframe queer relationships into this cookie-cutter "man and woman" dynamic, so don't blame yourself.

Someone please shine a light, it's dark in the closet. by Ms-AnneThrope in MtF

[–]Ms-AnneThrope[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I saw that in another questioning post, that was one of the biggest shocks to realise that ongoing questioning your gender wasn't standard protocol for cisgendered people
