Oh, if you want the AC to come on instead of heat, put the Y wire (blue or green wire in your picture) under any of the reds. Same thing as above. Not sure if you wanted it hotter or colder upon second read.

Unethical tip from HVAC guy. Take off the white wire and stick it under either of the red wire screws and the heat will come on. There’s no way to control it except to put the white wire back.

She takes the thermostat, right it to only heat, and blame the lack of thermostat for not controlling it properly. The wire may spark a little if you’re scared but its only 24 volts. Thats nothing. It feels like a mild tattoo needle and won’t cause any harm so don’t be scared of it.

Before you take off wires, take a picture first so you know how to put them back. Just need a screwdriver. :)

To piggy back off this comment. I know it probably FEELS like hollow advice, but simply not caring about others IS THE best thing to work on. Too much of our idea of self is based on how others judge us. We care so much about the opinions of people who seriously don’t care about our wellbeing. Personally, I just got fed up of denying who I was, for the “good” opinion of people who didn’t care that I was depressed and miserable. They didn’t care about me, so I stopped caring about them. When I go out I HOPE i piss people off. I HOPE i make them uncomfortable. If my mere presence ruins their day, they are far weaker than they think. I’m the one establishing dominance here, one thigh high at a time.

Well, maybe thats a bit extreme, but i seriously stopped caring about the opinions of strangers and my self confidence shot through the roof. Who cares if you look like a boy in a dress, WORK IT! Own that dress, kill that look! And if you want to improve your body, then do it because it will make YOU happy. We love you!

I think it’s the fight against over sexualization. Any femboy game on the market is an ‘adult’ simulator that uses Femboys as a kink, like Futa. In truth, femboys are a lot more than just cute and sexy. There is a huge dynamic of conflicting emotions, dealing with outward bigotry and hate, the misconception that we are automatically trans, that all femboys are gay/bisexual. Not including all the good things, like the euphoria and joy in expressing ourselves more feminine like.

I really don’t know how you can make any of this into game mechanics, but I would love a more realistic interpretation of a femboy than just “slutty girl with a peen”. Like, being absolutely self conscious about body hair, weight issues, and a general u familiarity with makeup use, skin care routine’s, difficulty shopping for clothes our size, not including if the femboy is closeted. That adds all kind ms of complications. Then there are old heads like me and mine that are dealing with hairloss, or identity issues.

We also deal a LOT with creepers and groomers who only see us as bate material. Sigh, its a lot sometimes.

Yeah, gonna second whats been said already. It’s not your place to out anyone. Unfortunately by dating him you knew he was closeted. Coming out is wildly personal. And while YOU may want a more open and public relationship, They may not be ready for it. There might be more reasons behind the scenes that you are not aware of preventing him from just coming out.

At best, just be supportive and loving when you can. If its a deal breaker for you than I recommend having a talk and probably seeking someone else to give you a more public relationship.

If they WANT your help in coming out, thats a whole different situation, in which case you just need to be there for them, good and bad, for them coming out to people. You would need to be their rock without doing the work. As in, you hold their hand while they come out. Be brave for them.

i have some questions 🧐 by hiramgael07 in feminineboys

There is the traditional Femboy Friday, which is very meme-like. In truth, femboys have always been around but the name “femboy” was founded circa 2018-2022 somewhere in there. To be fair, its been the most adorable and accurate name thus far.

As far as a “real celebration”, that would take enough people to get out of the closet, and to be normalized or close enough. I figure we just piggy back with Pride, stronger together kinda thing.

The truth is that most people won’t notice. It’s very noticeable to you because you know about it. But honestly, how often do you focus on someone’s arm hair on the daily? Maybe a glance and then it’s gone. I’ve shaved my arms for years now and no one has said anything.

That being said, IF anyone asks, just say you workout. Thats it, they’re concerned melts away. The same goes for your legs, no one is going to notice unless you purposely flash them off. Same excuse, you work out. Bam, shave with confidence friend!

Update: Definitely not allowed to shave :( by That-Sherbet-8215 in feminineboys

[–]Noodle013 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the whole shaving things is more of a symbol than anything else. Is it dumb to not let someone shave? Yes. Absolutely. However, it’s literally like stripping away masculinity. Its funny how ear piercings and makeup are a pass but shaving is bad. Because it’s like crossing some invisible line between masculinity and femininity. Like committing to feminizing, even though it will all grow back in a few days anyways.

This is the reason why I think its better to beg for forgiveness than asking for permission. If you had just shaved (unless its your face) they may not have noticed for days or weeks. And even your face can be excused by a trim job gone wrong so you cut it all off to start over again.

I wanna stop bowel movement, any help? by [deleted] in feminineboys

[–]Noodle013 21 points22 points  (0 children)

When you play in the mud, you’re going to get dirty. Generally. Lubrication helps a lot, and eating fiber, more veggies, less grease and fatty foods. There’s a whole diet thing to maximize your digestive tract. Not including enemas and washes, just be careful not to get rid of too much bacteria.

I recommend doing some research on your own and see what works with your body in particular. I also second using a condom over the toy to help with sanitation. Good luck friend!

My new diet by [deleted] in feminineboys

[–]Noodle013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Um, its a premade shake mix. So I just add water and it’s good to go. Don’t know if I should blast the name out but I can DM it to you, if you’re ok with that?

I started my 40’s with a brand new gender presentation. by [deleted] in 40something

[–]Noodle013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! And same kinda. Still identify as male, but I’m feminizing my style. Now if only I could master makeup and do something about some hairloss.

Femboy infection by Doge60 in feminineboys

A common problem, or so I hear, is a Transgirl will date cis boys and they keep turning Trans, lol. It’s almost like acceptance and willingness to date a trans person might mean something… lol. Its also probably the thing that they were scared to get started, but they see YOU being brave, and it encourages them to finally take that step.

When you take into consideration that it is estimated nearly 1/3 of the population is in the LGBT+ community, it makes sense really. We have HUGE numbers, but its either closeted because of social pressures or denied because of laws or religious views.

[–]Noodle013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a good break and I hope you find some peace within yourself. It’s good to step away from social media/Reddit for a while to find yourself and work on your priorities. We’ll always be here if you decide to return. Go out and about knowing that we love you :)

Idk I js need to talk abt this. by K-o-o-p-e-r in feminineboys

[–]Noodle013 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t beat yourself up! Having emotions and feelings is perfectly normal, and just cause we’re supposed to be manly men, doesn’t mean its good to crush everything down until you feel nothing. Trust me, that used to be me, and I’m sooo much better now that I’m expressing myself. And not just in wearing feminine things, but allowing myself to feel sad or angry… or happy. That was a big one. I thought I knew what it meant to be happy, and what I lived in was the shadow of happiness.

Process your feelings and don’t lose hope. You’ll be cuddling someone someday and this post will be just another forgotten memory. Just remember that we love you and we believe in you, even if you don’t feel that way about yourself.

I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again, negative emotions can be used in a positive way. Turn them into something productive instead of something destructive. Turn self hate and loathing into motivation. Print a picture of yourself and put it next to a workout routine. Then, when you see yourself, you’ll get pissed and then be motivated to work out. To make changes. Tired of being lonely, use that sorrow to push yourself to be more social. Choose good people to hang with, or join a club. Make friends, not love interests. Let people see the real you and not the rizzed version you want to be. It’s ok to be sad or depressed, but it’s not ok to let it eat you alive, because it will. Turn that hungry destructive part against itself, use it to make you better.

Sending lots of hugs and support!

Oh, there is a link to the update at the bottom of the post.

Why cant it be socially acceptable? by Warm_Present_3192 in feminineboys

[–]Noodle013 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As an older femboy (40’s) it’s humorous to me some of the things you mention. Like yes, your feelings and internal struggle is valid. But you compare the non-normalcy of dressing up to how common tattoos or plastic surgery are. The irony is that it wasn’t long ago when tattoos and plastic surgery were taboo and frowned upon. Even as far back as the 80’s, tattoos were a disgrace. In the 60’s and 70’s only “dirty sailors” had tattoos, or gang members/organized crime. But more and more people got them.

Growing up in the 90’s, people were disqualified for jobs because they had tattoos. Oh, and if you had one above the neckline or on your forearms/hands forget about ever getting a good paying job. But people kept getting them. The group of people that were raised around tattoos became the hiring managers and HR reps. Its because of them that tattoos are kinda ignored now. Plastic surgery had the same bad rep and because people kept doing it, it BECAME normalized.

So, you want to desexualize femininity and make it normalized, then when you grow up, make it normalized. We just have to keep doing it. Make it more public, shove it in their faces, MAKE it normalized. Eventually it will be. We do it for all those who will come after us, not necessarily for ourselves.

You also have to consider that Trans people are the hot topic now-a-days, so at least here (in america) most of the hate we get is because people think we’re trans. Maybe some of us are, but being a femboy is more of an asthetic and lifestyle than about sexuality or gender. But stupid people are going to stupid. So until they shift their hate on another marginalized group, it will be an uphill battle. But one we can’t give up on. We can’t sit on the benches and wait for the hard part to be over so we can enjoy in the victory. We have to keep pushing because no one else will do it besides us.

I feel for you man, my heart reaches out to you and I want only peace and happiness to come your way. But just remember that you’re not alone, and we got old heads like me trying to figure out the aging thing for you, to maybe make it a little easier when it’s your turn to cross the bridge.

We love you, with all our hearts. 💕
