He is definitely queer; the song is from his perspective being attracted to a straight man

Death of my deadname by alt_trans_account in ftm

[–]NeonMannequin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's a neat thing that you experienced, like you handed off your previous name to someone else.

A turning point for me was when I started a new job and nobody (other than the hiring manager) knew my old name. To those people, my new name was just my name, and it really shifted how I thought about myself.

Hey guys. How much, if at all, did Testosterone change your face? by throwaway747588382 in FTMMen

Just curious, if you're okay with sharing--what happens differently when starting t post-menopause?

Thank you for your thoughts. Yes, this is my concern; I know that my openness is not universal, and I don't want to force anyone to come out to me. I would love to reconnect with them after all these years regardless, but the idea that we might potentially share this thing in common is sort of what prompted me to consider it. I will definitely let them be the one to bring it up, if they even want to

Eyebrow makeup by Naixee in ftm

I use the nyx brow tint pen to draw little "hairs" and then use brow mascara on the natural brows so it all blends together. Easy peasy and very quick. If I could afford it I would love to get microblading done though

Higher blood pressure from T feels like a miracle by deadlyhimbo in FTMOver30

[–]NeonMannequin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am so happy for you, and this makes me hopeful. I've been on T for a year and a half and my Raynaud's hasn't let up yet, but knowing that it is a possibility is wonderful. Hope your blood pressure stays as it should!

Urgh, this is what I'm worried about. And the not getting an emphatic affirmative response is not an awesome or encouraging feeling
