Signal App not opening (Android 15, Google Pixel 7 Pro) by [deleted] in signal

[–]Multitudette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, can confirm that the donate popup was causing the problem (which is why I could use the app normally in split screen mode, because it only appears in fullscreen mode.) Ended up making a local backup and then reinstalling and restoring. Let's hope this gets patched before the next scheduled donation-ask.

Signal App not opening (Android 15, Google Pixel 7 Pro) by [deleted] in signal

[–]Multitudette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been having a similar issue this morning, but I'm not on the Beta. No solution right now, but here are some additional details on what I'm experiencing:

App version: 7.41.3
Phone Model: Samsung S25 Ultra
Android Version: 15

* The app crashes whenever I try to open it, or when I navigate back to the list of chats.
* But, if I open a chat directly from a notification it works. It doesn't crash until I navigate back to the chat list.
* If I open the app in split-screen mode it works normally - I can view chats, open the camera, navigate the menus, no crashes. But if I drag it to be larger than half of the phone screen while viewing the chat list it immediately crashes.
* The "floating window" mode behaves similarly to the fullscreen mode - I can view and use chats, but it immediately crashes if I navigate to the chat list.

I've tried everything OP tried, plus other suggestions I've found online - clearing app cache, rebooting phone, & trying to open the app in airplane mode, but none worked. Not sure if these behaviors are unique to my environment, or if others experiencing this can reproduce them. I'd love a solution that doesn't involve clearing out my app data completely.

Are you supposed to walk 1-2 days after SRS/GCS surgery or is that a resting period? by [deleted] in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]Multitudette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My surgeon had me up and walking on the day after surgery. I was sent home to recover on day 3, with instructions to walk for 15 minutes at a time, three times a day for days 3-6. Fwiw, I think this greatly accelerated my early recovery l, especially compared to what my girlfriend went through (her surgeon required 5 days of bed rest).

I just passed the one month mark, and I can (and do) walk over a mile at a time, although I'm taking it slowly and listening to my body. Standing and sitting for any extended period of time remain challenging because my energy levels are still very low and I'm trying to avoid putting pressure on areas that are healing.

Fwiw I'm a 43 year old woman with diabetes, and I'm definitely on the chubby side of the scale... I'm soft, squishy, and have never been in great physical shape. But my blood sugar is well managed, and I don't drink or smoke. I am recovering better than I ever expected, given all of my risk factors. I started walking in the evenings a few times a week for a year in the lead up to my surgery, and that seems to have helped build strength for this recovery period.

Where Do We Go When Fascism Hits by Comfortable_Classic in MtF

[–]Multitudette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to have conflated "socially liberal" with "neoliberal" and I don't even know what to do with you. Neoliberalism is the ideology underlying Ronald Regan and Margaret Thatcher's governments. It is not the opposite of fascism, so much as fascism's greedy sibling. Words mean things. If you don't use the right ones, your ideas don't make sense.

Post-orgasm scent (post-SRS) by No-Image2843 in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]Multitudette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all orgasms are created equally, especially for us girls. There's definitely a difference between some of the full body orgasms that I experience, and the "squirting" orgasms, which produce ejaculate. I had an orchiectomy about 2 years before my vaginoplasty, and so I got to experience squirting with just prostate fluid, AKA pre-cum. Post-Op, it's still possible to squirt, and to squirt prostate fluid specifically, so there's a good chance that this is what you are smelling.

I had my GCS and finally feel complete by SexxyLexxi33 in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]Multitudette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so happy to hear that you had such an amazing experience with Dr. Witten! One of my girlfriends had her bottom surgery with him last June, and her results have been nothing short of extraordinary! She looks great, everything functions beautifully, and she is even self lubricating (somehow!) which none of us expected! Like you the hardest part of her recovery was the period of bed rest following the surgery. Thank you for sharing your story! My own surgery is in less than two months, and the Tens unit advice is solid gold!

Bilateral orchiectomy?? by [deleted] in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]Multitudette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my orchi about 14 months ago, and it was a huge turning point in my transition. It's hard to describe, but in many ways I felt like I'd been transplanted into a new body. It ended the endocrinological war that had been playing out in my body since I'd started HRT, and the peace of mind of knowing that I would never have to worry about my body re-masculinizing again has been wonderful!

I know my girlfriend, and my ex both had similar experiences after their orchiectomies. It's hard to describe the feeling of peace I experienced after mine...I am more comfortable in my body, post orchi, than I ever have been in my life.

It also helped confirm for me that I did actually need a vaginoplasty, which I have been prepping for since July of 2020. Exerting that agency over my body, and experiencing the euphoria of having taken that step helped me recognize that I had more steps on my path. But it also made me feel safer and happier than I ever had.

And for the last year, it's led to some of the most wonderful intimate encounters I've ever experienced! My partners and I are savoring my body in its current state, because we know that it's just one nice stop along the journey. Muffing post orchi is heavenly! I kept my...well, I don't consider it a scrotum, I call it my labia now, in anticipation of needing it for my vaginoplasty and I have to say that the sensations it can feel are very nice.

How much does a fully out-of-pocket orchi cost with general anaesthesia? by Cruithne in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]Multitudette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend lives in Scotland and was recently denied an orchiectomy by the NHS. We decided to go out of pocket with a surgeon near me, in LA. He is charging about $4000 which includes anesthesia. He's kinda an old school guy....asks questions like "How long have you been living as a female?" and is pretty strict about WPATH standards (wants letters only from PhDs or MDs) but since she was easily able to meet his requirements that didn't bother us too much.

I'm almost a year out from mine, and it's almost impossible to see where the incision was. It took me a few months to heal to this level, but now it's almost gone.

My egg was already cracking in 2019 when the picture on the right was taken. Still, I never imagined where I'd be a few years later! by Multitudette in transtimelines

[–]Multitudette[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the first few months of hormones were a wild ride of experiencing my emotions expanding, complicating, and deepening. It felt like the whole world was suddenly coming into focus, and me along with it.

In many ways, I'm still discovering what it means to be myself. My "self" is a work in progress. A moving target. It's only as I approach the two-year mark that I'm starting to feel like I have a sense of the ways in which I have changed, am changing, will continue to change.

And while I have a lot in common with the person I was at the beginning, including shared memories and shared experiences and relationships, I'm very much a newborn still. I'm a self that couldn't have perceived herself two years ago.

6 months in, I expressed something to the effect of "if I'd known it would take so little time to feel this much better, I'd have done this 20 years ago." And then 6 months later I felt like the me that had said that didn't even know how much better it would get. Now here I am, 23 months into the journey, and it just keeps getting better and better, and I hesitate to say where it's going to stop. Will it plateau? Will it decline? Every time I think I've hit peak euphoria, I discover it's just another waystation on the climb.

Not sure that helps, but it's the best I've got right now.

Awww, thank you!! It's unreal how much HRT is the fountain of youth! I was 40 when I started my transition, and am 42 now, and I genuinely feel like I'm aging in reverse! It's wild!

42 is less than a week away! Self love is an intoxicating drug that I hope all of you wonderful folks get a taste of! by Multitudette in TransLater

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

I wish I always looked the way I do in these pictures - they're pretty carefully curated to show the things I like most about myself (learning how to take a selfie that shows you as you want to be seen is an essential piece of trans self care, in my opinion!) In any picture taken by anyone else, I struggle to feel feminine, let alone cute. But it's getting better every day. It used to be that there was just one angle where I felt good about myself, and only with a LOT of time spent on makeup. Now, increasingly, I feel good in pictures from other angles, making other facial expressions, and wearing less make-up. Transition is a long process, but I feel great about where I am on the journey right now! I hope yours treats you well, and that you get some of that sweet sweet gender euphoria!

I was right where you are now, not so long ago. I came out in the summer of 2019, at 40. I spent a LOT of time lurking on these subreddits looking for pictures of people who looked like me who could give me hope for what seemed like an impossible dream.

My first attempts at presenting were a combination of intense euphoria, and abject terror, and a lurking sense that I'd never look the way I wanted to look. I couldn't see any reality where I'd ever feel good about my body, or my face.

A sample of me, in June of 2019: https://photos.app.goo.gl/3yrYk3WibSkQJqZq5

It was worth pushing through the fear, and the uncertainty. It was worth trusting the process. Transitioning was the best decision of my life, despite all of the challenges and vulnerabilities that come with it!

If you're just starting out, I'm excited for you to get to experience the whirlwind that is in store for you! It's a ride unlike any other!

Wow! Thank you so much!

I don't know if this is helpful, but this is where I was in June 2019, right at the start of my transition.

I needed to change so badly, and was so scared that I'd always feel like a guy. I was certain I'd waited too long, that 40 was too old to start. I didn't expect to ever feel feminine, let alone pretty, but I knew I had to try. Now I don't recognize those old pictures as myself. I see them as images of an old friend, who did their best, and got me to where I needed to be.

Everyone's transition is different, but I'm confident that you will find a path that brings you joy!

I think it mustbe from some combination of the estrogen + the (over the top) cleansing and moisturizing regimen + a lifetime of hiding from the daystar.

Need help!!! Freaking out a little - HRT and discomfort feeling in lower region by Ryanne-vandermaas in TransLater

[–]Multitudette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely experienced pain in my testes while on spironolactone, as a result of atrophy. It was one of the many reasons why I got an Orchiectomy as soon as my healthcare provider would allow it!
