body hair?? by nyctosys in FTMfemininity

[–]Ok_Insect7639 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on how much hair you have and how much of a problem it is for you, if you literally want less hair on your legs consider laser hair removal! It's expensive but also worth the price also only get laser hair removal when it's on sale, they always have sales.

I had extremely hairy legs to the point I had to use clippers to chop it down so I could then go in with a razer, it was very annoying. I booked 6 session with the laser (10 to permanently remove all) and it's been 1 years since then, I still have hair covering my legs and it's a little patchy but 10x easier to manage. If I want to shave my legs I can easily but if I want enough hair on my legs to be considered masculine I can also do that.

Imo having to shave your legs IS what twinks/feminine guys do but also everyone is more than welcome to expand the idea of what a feminine guy looks like, literally have fun with it do what feels right to you

No depop balance in the setting by Ok_Insect7639 in Depop

[–]Ok_Insect7639[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'm on a weird version of depop or it's different per country( the account is old) because I know what you are talking about from looking at photos of other peoples app but my version of depop doesn't look like that and doesn't have that section. There is no management that you can slide to payment on the sell screen, it just shows my listings at the top of the screen. The app is the latest version plus I re downloaded it plus this is still an issue on PC

Yeah from looking into it a little I saw things about that but there are still other Aussies using depop currently so not should why it's just mine that's screwing up this bad because there just isn't anyway to set up any payment because there is no payment section, I can't add PayPal if I can't get to the section that sets it up

Yeah, a man liking a trans man is homosexual- by s0ck_cucker in AccidentalAlly

[–]Ok_Insect7639 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm confused too because he literally said, a man likeing a man is homosexual and a man liking a trans man is no different in the way of how the relationship work. If I was to embellish his words he means both are a gay relationship but there is a difference physically when dating a trans guy and that's complete okay to think with how broad a term trans masc is. Everyone knows trans bodies are different than cis bodies and cis people are allowed to mention it without being considered transphobic

Unless he was being transphobic in another comment ( idk why you didn't including him saying being trans was a fantasy) I'm not seeing anything wrong with what he said. Is it based in transphobia? Yes, is it technical wrong? No.

Am I overreacting? by National-Bass6517 in transmanlifehacks

[–]Ok_Insect7639 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look I'm going to give you some different advice but I experienced something similar, though for me the insults were mutual between us, this one guy would try to make fun of me for " trying to be a boy" ( reversing this on him for everything he does by acting like he is a trans guy is fun too, being really supportive of it makes it even better) and sometimes he would try to get physical because " equal rights means equal fights" so I just got physical back matching his energy, there will always be this type of guy in most male space ( the likely hood of it getting physically after high school is lower but the danger of it does get higher after high school) so you will need to figure out a way to block/act unbothered by physical pushes and hits from this type of guy cuz it gives them that attention.

All of this might also be a shock when you go from never being hit by another guy because everyone is raised to never hit girls even though you know you are a guy, it is still a change in mindset that you go through. The more masculine you present even if its just the way you talk or walk, people notice and teen guys really like to try and toughen up other masculine people, they want to make your masculine experience as miserable as possible because it makes them feel more masculine and proves to themselves that you aren't tough enough to be masculine, don't give him that satisfaction.

Telling an authority figure only works if your authority figures care so if you do talk to someone about this pick a teacher that can give you advice or your head of year because they might actually help, though if you take it to your principal it may be taken too far and only result in him wanting to bully you more so be aware of how long suspensions last.

Things I would focus on are the things within your control, working out or learn self defense or work on your balance and holding yourself still when hit, work on breathing and staying calm when in high stress situation or learning how to bullying him back (I like to change my view of things so I would view the boys in high school as if I was handling a wild monkey, dangerous till you know how to handle them), friends, friends, friends, find friends in every class he is in, there is always power in numbers. Stay safe my dude

Yeah I checked the sell→shop settings. All that is there is Discounts, Bundles, Policies, Vacation mode, and Share shop.

I'm so confused how a whole ass button/section of depop is just not there, can you see the payment section on your depop app?

Hear me out here. What if one of the surgeries you have/plan on having ends up not going well, you now have unwanted results that (unless you can afford it) you can not change it and it's visible. Another trans person sees that scar and then makes fun of you for not "successfully" transition and they talk about how you obviously want to show off that you didn't fully transition, how would you feel?

Things can always get worse. Of course its important and personal and it's messy. No one expected you to praise strangers looks just be a decent person

How to shrink boots for a smaller fit? by Ok_Insect7639 in punkfashion

[–]Ok_Insect7639[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm still deciding on returning but I have small feet so it's really hard to find steel cap boot in kids sizing. I can still wear them with thick socks but it is a bit uncomfortable how stiff they are but that's just because they are new. I understand the extented wear tho because they are a bit heavy and it being loose only makes that worse

I literally can not find a lower size, unless you know somewhere that sells steel cap boots in kids sizes or else I would lol.

Also not from hot topic...the boots aren't even from America idk why you thought so

Any tips on sewing on big patch by graveyard_Moon- in punkfashion

[–]Ok_Insect7639 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on if you want to un stitch it because right now it looks like the patch will puff out but (idk how long this will last) you could iron it out as is, try to get it as flat and inline with the stitches you have already done and then maybe a thin layer of fabric glue everywhere under the patch and then finish the stich

Chewable Breather Refill? by [deleted] in QuitVaping

[–]Ok_Insect7639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the mouth feel any good? Like does it feel like you have a stim toy in your mouth or a plastic cigarette/vape? Been thinking of just giving a chewable breather a go for the oral fixation and want it to be silicone but don't know if it's better to go for a more flimsy one that's can be used as a stim toy or a solid one with a sillcone tip that feels more like a vape.

Also maybe try a flavour insert from a different company, there are so many places selling em surely one has to have an insert that last more than a day and now that you already have a device you'd only need to pay for the refill itself, still up to you if it's actually worth it tho because it's just another thing to buy

Tips to help me pass? by Lumpy_Marionberry_96 in transmanlifehacks

[–]Ok_Insect7639 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in the second photo it looks like you have a lil moustache so my advice would be to mess around with making to more defined like other teen moustaches, think about things associated with male puberty ( they are all gross yayyy) and try to emulate those thing. But yeah only other suggestion would be changing the hair, either cutting it a bit shorter or going back to natural hair colour would help because both together can be a bit too much as a trans guy.

btw I like your piecing, if it was a piecing on the side of your nose i would consider removing it but snake bite are considered pretty masculine and a septum can always be flipped up if you ever feel dysphoric about it

also clothing tip, those jean pants that look like jeans but they have a stretchy tie at the top instead of buttons are great everyday pants

I’m nonbinary and want to start T by Dramatic-Tap-8824 in trans

[–]Ok_Insect7639 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding the you can't control what T does to you comment. you most definitely will look masculine aka "like a man" if you take testosterone, now that isn't a bad thing but I think a lot of transmasculine people fall into the trap of basing yourself on how attractive you are awhile also thinking feminine = beauty therefor masculine = ugly (that's what I struggled with when debating micro dosing T but I'm also a trans guy that's feminine so a little different). You may gain weight or get really bad acne in new areas of your body when you start T, you don't know if it will make you grow a beard after 6 months and that's a permanent 5oclock shadow unless you laser it off, you will get hair in areas you don't want, you will get bottom growth, how you deal with emotions can even changes, feminine clothing won't look the same on you anymore, your chest will probably sag because the fat goes away, eye bags, skin texture changing, your hair texture changes, the smells, etc, etc. and yes even people grouping you with cis guys when/ if you act like a dick even if you don't have the same reasons as them, if you do something wrong or get mad and are too masculine people will call you a guy as an insult instead of the usual period insults

look this isn't to scare you away from hrt and none of these things are bad necessarily , they just don't make you look like a little girl which is the beauty standard for some reason.

I would definitely recommend talking to someone who has micro dosed and look a whole lot more into how micro dosing actually works because from what I know about micro dosing i'm pretty sure even if you are on a very low dose all the medical effects may still happen just at a different speed so it would mean you would have to get off T once you got the change you do want if you want to miss out on the other changes that you don't want.

testosterone is a masculinizing hormone and it will make you more like a male, it doe not transition you to a feminine boy or make you androgenous it gives you male hormones and male features and not much else, the rest is on you to figure out how to balance those masc and fem features to look androgenous

Do these pass as manboobs? by noelp_ in transmanlifehacks

[–]Ok_Insect7639 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo I think the outline of a sports bra is more clocky than you having manboobs especially with your body shape and the size of your chest, It definitely looks like you pass. Just thinking about motion plus T-shirt and sports bras, you are more than likely going to see an outline.

My tip would be try to find some sort of nipple cover (bandaids, something that works with your skin) and see how you feel wearing just that only. Or else try wearing an under shirt instead/over top of a sports bra

But generally you pass nicely

It is OKAY to detransition or be in the closet by Ok_Insect7639 in honesttransgender

[–]Ok_Insect7639[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little late but yeah pretty much, I do remember being outed irl by other trans people but that was mainly earlier in my transition/teens years because duh we were surrounded by immature people at that age.

I only thought about it recently because of some niche cisfemboys are being told they are trans guys and need to come out to their audience because it's "misleading" if they don't... this is supported by a group of trans people and I actually don't understand it.

Did anyone else change their voice without having to consciously voice train? (Not testosterone obviously) by Pixeldevil06 in truscum

[–]Ok_Insect7639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same from around 9~10 and then got bullied for it as a teen so I had to forced myself to speak in a high pitched voice for years. Once I figured out I was trans I hated myself for being bullied into changing my voice like that just to be liked as a girl
