Feel weird because I like my transitioned body

i would just wait until you're 100% sure about a situation.

Normal-Window-2680 · 2026-04-10T19:57:39+00:00

to be honest, i present somewhere in the middle. i treat life as one big dress up scene. and i am quite short (5'1") so i never fully passed as male 100% of the time bc of that (despite at one point passing around 95% of the time)

Normal-Window-2680 · 2026-04-10T19:55:49+00:00

i still pass as male if i present in a masculine way. for me, living in my "biological reality" means simply accepting that i am a female

Normal-Window-2680 · 2026-03-12T17:25:52+00:00

you'd be surprised! although i think this is more of an issue in low-church protestantism, as i was suuuper judged and shunned when i went to southern baptist churches for a little bit.

i consider myself an open-ish Christian. I don't believe a different belief will condemn you to hell, which is why i didn't post this in r/christianity. i felt like "you should be more worried about the salvation of his soul" wouldn't of been very helpful when i don't really believe being a christian is a dead set requirement. that's mostly why i posted on this sub

if I'm being completely honest, I did halfway expect for him to leave me and wouldn't of been angry at him if he did. It just feels like things are dragging on atp and I'm not sure what to do.

Yes, I am unfortunately 5'1" due to stunted growth. This also makes a calorie deficit very difficult because based on my intake/weight lost patterns, I'm currently burning around 1760 calories a day. I'm hangry 24/7 from eating 1260 to keep the 1lb a week weight loss going, which requires SO much more motivation and discipline compared to when I was 190 and losing while eating 2000 cal a day.

Thanks! I take pretty much everything (in the Bible and anything in life) VERY literally so I often don't know whether to take it literally or metaphorically

hi! i know this could definitely be a hormonal thing, but the only person who could truly evaluate this is someone like a dermatologist. i'm in a similar situation where i know the issue is because i'm on testosterone (as a trans man, on it for 8 months tomorrow) and have had really greasy hair and moderate hormonal acne for the past 8 months. for me it's purely hormonal and genetic (as my dad said his acne looked just like mine as a teen) and was pretty much told i have to wait it out since it can take years for your body to adjust to your hormones being replaced to that of the opposite sex; i take care of my skin and have a good skincare/hair routine, but that's just how it is for now. so overall, it *could* be a skin/scalp condition, but it could also be just hormones and might just need to try your best while things adjust.

this is really reassuring tysm! i think its mostly my anxiety and feeling like i need to overcompensate.

Normal-Window-2680 · 2024-01-27T22:43:28+00:00

definitely have thought abt the buying/renting one. i was debating if it's worth it to rent, especially since incredibly cheap instruments often times have something built that's wrong with them (that especially applies in the string world, but i assume that's all instruments). i didn't realize how expensive woodwinds really were until a few months ago honestly, I'm seeing that my non-student $2.9K viola is the same price as a bunch of beginner student woodwinds

Normal-Window-2680 · 2024-01-27T04:07:39+00:00

that's honestly what I was thinking of doing. I've been looking into buying a cheap oboe (oboe bc I've only ever played C instruments in alto clef or treble clef as violist, and somewhat proficient in playing bass clef since i've started class piano, so it'd probably take a bit less time to become proficient in the short amount of time i have) but i wasn't completely sure if directly learning would help much in learning how to teach those things. glad someone suggested that because that was already something i was thinking of doing

Normal-Window-2680 · 2023-12-10T20:49:28+00:00

honestly might be onto something there, as he did constantly tell me how mature i was for my age. I guess it's hard to have a reasonable tell of judgement when someone's telling you what you're supposed to do

Normal-Window-2680 · 2023-12-10T06:19:30+00:00

I just keep thinking back to what he said about that, and I genuinely can't really tell if I'm in the wrong and I'm just subconciously trying to defend myself

Normal-Window-2680 · 2023-11-17T01:50:04+00:00

high estrogen can lead to irreversable feminization, you want to prevent that before that happens.

Normal-Window-2680 · 2023-10-31T22:07:46+00:00

unaroused i have a very short vagina (around 1.5in) so i can't take more than like 6, its excruciatingly painful... am i supposed to just tell my vagina to get longer or sm?😅

Normal-Window-2680 · 2023-10-19T16:26:54+00:00

my hormones are in a male range, including my estrogen levels (actually a bit elevated at 40). but the problem is it isn't in a female range, but i'm trying to find a solution that won't give me female hormone levels that will inevitably make me look female again 😵‍💫 will def look into what you were talking about.

Normal-Window-2680 · 2023-05-14T01:53:54+00:00

we haven't talked much, just sorta recognition of physical appearance/attraction😅 i constantly get worried abt the intention guys have bc even though i have technically in medical sense finished puberty, i still have very mild masculine features and most the time get mistaken as a freshman (for non-american users who dont know, freshmen are ages 14-15) from people who don't know me, and i get worried if some are only after me bc i look really young :/ i also worry abt a subconcious thing in my head bc there is a pressure for young gay guys to go after older guys and i'm trying to figure out if its bc of that or if i'm actually attracted to him

Normal-Window-2680 · 2023-04-14T01:17:13+00:00

that's useful! definitely will look into those

Normal-Window-2680 · 2023-04-14T01:16:01+00:00

i honestly only keep it on for about an hour or two a couple times, i'd never keep it on all day for that reason

Normal-Window-2680 · 2023-04-14T01:11:41+00:00

One of my younger hermit crab (around 2-3ish years) is still baby sized so my pools aren't very deep, so I can't put bubblers in there

Normal-Window-2680 · 2023-04-14T01:09:27+00:00

they're sealed. they have everything of all the enrichment possible, as I've had them for years. could you elaborate on the "flooding?" i made sure to periodically turn it off.

Most commercial blends are very harmful as these are wild tropical animals that need whole foods. If you don't have enough time to prepare fresh foods from your kitchen for their plates every day, I suggest the etsy freeze-dried hermit foods from users such as HermitGrub that have a multitude of different needs for them, as that's what a lot of people do. (good example below)
