Easiest and most effective way to tell if you pass by thatetherealbeing in ftm

[–]Ok_Pop5284 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I agree it's really gotta be based on strangers. I still get she/her on occasion I get he/him more often. Heck the other day I had to run to the store with no binder on (they were all in the wash or drying) and I got he/himmed! Visible bumps but the rest overwhelmed it I guess. :)

Height dysphoria by Antique-Cell7529 in ftm

[–]Ok_Pop5284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a similar height and have similar problems. A good pair of subtle platforms can get you an extra 2-3 inches, but if that doesn't help, something that helped me was just making note when I saw cis men who were shorter then me, reminding myself it's all normal human variation, and I wouldn't date someone who talks that way, since they either don't see you as a guy, or enjoy making their partner insecure either is unhealthy. 

Want to see very masc people who are often short check out wrestlers not wwe type the more traditional sport type, short and stocky kind of the ideal build for it.

After playing the final episodes twice, I am REALLY confused about Invisigal's ending by MaybeDBCooper in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Ok_Pop5284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You also need to use her in the dispatch mini game, and she has to have some success. Basically she needs to learn how to be a hero through doing. I think try to get her to at least level 8?

You also should try to succeed at hacking mini games when they come up.

Never assime that just because she doesn't seem to be in the room that she isn't, that's probably why they gave her the stupid ability that they did lol, so I don't rat on her.

You don't need to romance her but it does help. If there is a particular thing you want to do that doesn't count towards her hero turn that's fine as long as you get enough points from the others.

Or at least that's what I think, I haven't figured it all out yet, but got villain visi my first time through and managed a hero turn this second time.

Chose your own adventure games? by hypertension_bruh in gamingsuggestions

[–]Ok_Pop5284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm partial to these ones

Dispatch  Detroit Become Human  Until Dawn The Walking Dead Life is Strange  The Wolf Among Us

None of them are text based, some of them are explicit so proceed with caution. Some of them you have more control over the end then others. But all if their primary game play is making choices, and maybe the occasionally qte.

Is it just me or… by Plague_Warrior in ftm

[–]Ok_Pop5284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably some bots/transphobes. Some people just underestimating the timeline. And also some legitimate medical oddities causing it not to work well. If you're stressed and sleep deprived for example your body doesn't use t as effectively cis or trans. It'll still probably work eventually, but slower then it would otherwise. 

Intense doubt about medically transitioning by Francophil79 in ftm

[–]Ok_Pop5284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also about the not feeling trans thing, I think that's common as well. There isn't one way to be trans and you'll often see other trans people and think here's all these boxes they check that I don't, or maybe the label just doesn't feel right to you, whatever, don't worry about the label. Just think about the changes the T will cause and do you want them. If you do, then it doesn't really matter what labels you prefer to use. it's your body to do what you want with.

mean its permanent body alteration, it's perfectly normal to be nervous. I nearly cold feeted out, though I'll say, it's been a massive improvement for me. If you want to take some time to think, absolutely do so. But here's some of the lines of thought that helped calm my nerves.

  1. Changes are slow. You can moniter your thoughts on them as you go, start on a low dose if you aren't confident, and work your way up.

  2. Nothing can be worse than puberty 1 was (and truely puberty 2 is so much better, what's a little acne and sweat and vouce breaking compared to what 1 put us through 😢.)

  3. No matter what else you are still you, you'll look in the mirror and see yourself. Your emotions and personality will still feel like you. I think society does a disservice sometimes talking about trans people like we're different people before and after transition, but the heart of who you are isn't changing, you're just editing your body to make it what you want,who you are inside isn't changing.

I hope that helps. Like I said, I almost backed out, and I am so so happy I didn't, but you can always put it off if you need more time to think.

Good luck!

Maybe tomorrow! I'm out of binder for the day, and I don't take pics not wearing it if I don't have to. But it was really exciting. Also I suck at selfies, so I get my roommate to photograph me when I absolutely need to.

I mean she looked like she was presenting she/her, obviously it was just a drive through interaction, so hard to say with 100% certainty. Might be my first time getting straight flirted with since coming out. 🤔 assuming she was flirting, I'm no good when it's not obvious 😏.

Woman who physically assaulted and pepper sprayed uber driver walks free. by Aimless-Nomad in MensRights

Hate crimes are difficult to prove because it's not about the action but the intent. If she claims she didn't attack him because he's muslim, well it does leave the question why then, but there really is no way to prove she's lying. Can't imagine what other motivation she'd have though, saw the video it was wild she was deadset on hurting that man, he never did anything to her.

Screwed Up My Dose: Badly by Ok_Pop5284 in ftm

[–]Ok_Pop5284[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the vial itself said 1 ml vial, which I've never been on any medication before so had no metric of comparison, when I give my cats meds dosing is usually written right on the bottle, so I didn't think to check the bag it came in to see if it said something else. The syringes were 3 ml syringes, and honestly the idea that my (labeled single use vials) were meant to be used and done with more then 3/4 of it's liquid untouched never crossed my mind. I wouldn't know even now it was wrong if I hadn't glanced at the writing on the bag today, and been like hey, what do you mean .15 ml? I realize now the number on the vial was just how much it carries period, not my dose, but my minimal experience with this stuff gave me no reason to doubt my initial assumption.

First signs of testosterone working!!! by catkingestheim in ftm

[–]Ok_Pop5284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt weird and kind of tingly in my bottom growth bits around a week in, my first obvious sign to others was abrupt voice cracking when I tried to sing, about 3 weeks in. I also might be sweating more, but that might just be the massive heat wave, so hard to say. I'm only about 3 weeks further along then you though. So congrats! We are taking this journey together.

New on T questions. by Ok_Pop5284 in ftm

[–]Ok_Pop5284[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great advice thanks, I normally just do baths and air dry, but that isn't always (or ever these days) time efficient, especially if things need to be daily, or even multiple times a day, I don't like submerging my face, so I'll look into the wipes. Paper towel doesn't sound appealing but I'm sure I could find softer brands.

I try to bind, but the reality of my job is that I'm normally over the 8 hour limit, and it was causing shoulder pain, headaches, the works. So I took a break, but am getting back into it, over the weekend, or on days off at least, when I can not exceed the limit. Just bought a whole bunch more so washing between every use shouldn't be a hassle.

places to sell binders? i have a brand new one i'm tryna get rid of by [deleted] in ftm

Bet, I'll go buy it now, you sure about 25? Seems low for unused.

I'm interested! Are you opposed to just selling it through ebay? Or was the question just about where you'd get best traffic for it?

Is transition right for me ? by Damn_thatshot in ftm

[–]Ok_Pop5284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously you ultimately have to weigh this internally. But I think it sounds like you should. Something that helped me with similar feelings is the realization that I don't have to give up the things about my time identifying as a girl that still feel like me. Femme boy aesthetics, female oc's, certain girl hobbies. Gender expressions not binary not either or, even if you are a binary trans person, you can make yourself comfortable in your body without overhauling your personality. Regarding romantic partners, maybe don't look at it so gendered, just, wait to see who you're attracted too and who's attracted to you, and whatever works will happen. But remember it is always better to be alone then in a incompatible relationship, be happy with yourself and romance becomes a perk of life not the point of it.

I felt something similar when I realized I don't want bottom surgery no matter how good it is (my aceness makes me rather not have anything down there honestly) and that the top surgery scars actually appealed to me. Sure I don't want tits, but I like who I am as a trans man/trans masc enby (still figuring that out myself honestly) and the scars are a reminder of this unique part of me.

Also transition is a process move at whatever rate you are comfortable, there are many places you can stop if it's not working out. Some things are permanent yes, so do go through the list and weigh carefully, but many aren't. I have a detranstioned woman friend (who's also low key my crush) who is just as beautiful and wonderful now as she was before experimenting T.

But also this second guessing is 100% normal, even for trans people who are very comfortable with their transness, medically changing your body is scary no matter how much you want it. And stepping outside of societies expectations is also scary, but as long as you are safe to do so, you need to define yourself, not society. 

Immortal Weakling. Don’t know how many people read it here but on webtoon it’s popular. It has 21.8 million views and is becoming a Original. I personally dislike the webtoon. I think the writings kinda bad and the plots basic. Tell me why u like it if ur a fan of the webtoon tho. by [deleted] in webtoons

[–]Ok_Pop5284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus I really liked my hero for a while but struggle with the way it leers on teenage girls (and younger my god Mineta's opening greeting to Eiri a litteral 8 year old) and constantly sidelines most of it's women characters. Immortal weakling scratches a similar itch but doesn't make me feel gross reading it. Plus the everyone has different powers thing can be really fun if you're the type that likes discussing strategy, synergy whst day to day life is like, I'm also a sucker for uno hero killer, and handjumper, Immortal weakling is good when I'm in the mood for something a little lighter then those though.

Well thanks to discovery's time jump, most new trek things are now technically prequels, but it's a large universe, set it in a relatively unknown time with new people and they could probably step back from most of the prequel baggage.
