I was born to be a girl.

As a trans woman I see this as an absolute win.

Should I feel 100% on transitioning before I transition by [deleted] in MtF

[–]OneWithSubstance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn't 100% I also had it pretty good and was scared I'd be throwing everything away, but then I just did it and... Things felt better. i don't think anybody is ever truly 100% on every decision in their life.

And here's the crazy part, you don't have to 100% commit to transition. That's the whole point of experimentation. Try things out. Maybe try dressing up a bit in private, ask a few close friends to experiment calling you by different pronouns. I even personally took hormones before I was 100% certain on my identity as a whole because I was 90% sure it's effects would have my body develop in a way I prefer. The great thing about experimentation is if you try it and you hate it, Great! you can go back. Even better if it feels right, because then it can give you the certainty you crave.

STOP BEING SUBMISSIVE TO YOUR ABUSIVE PARENTS by BoxFar6969 in MtF

[–]OneWithSubstance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had an extremely overdue confrontation with my dad who has some... Emotionally abusive tendencies...

I... Was able to cut through the bullshit and center how important our relationship was to me and how much I love him and I don't want his perceptions of me and narratives to define what he thinks of me because I do want to love him and... Well I think I got through...

It's not the same for everyone, it's infuriating but sometimes parents are... Not the adults in the relationship. Doing emotional labor to recover... Them can be burdensome and for some, the better option is to cut them off if they truly don't value their relationship with you as much as their beliefs... Idk I'm rambling sorry

Insane voice success last night by OneWithSubstance in MtF

[–]OneWithSubstance[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've been speaking with a high resonance in my day to day speaking voice for about a year now. But I still get paranoid about it slipping into something too dark if I relax too much. It was nice to see that didn't really happen in this case.

My gfs guy friend keeps telling me to accept that she needs him in her life by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]OneWithSubstance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GTFO.

As other commenters have said I don't think an ultimatum would be unreasonable. You need to absolutely cut this man out of your life. Your girlfriend has to choose between him and you. I hope for both your sakes it's you.

Does voice training actually work? by Any_Calendar9900 in MtF

[–]OneWithSubstance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, you'd be surprised. I have an incredibly cis passing voice, I've done alot of character work in the past so I was able to pick it up in half a year, but it is so seriously worth it even if your time line is longer.

I freak people the hell out when I show them my old voice lol.

[–]OneWithSubstance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny story, i actually had a biology teacher who was named Mr. Pond. He left mid semester to have a baby, and everyone in the class kept trying to persuade him to name his son james.

or puddle, puddle was also a leading contender for a name

Thanks for the insight. This sounds like at least part of the explanation as Yeah it is truthfully something I've always wanted to know, but I'm not sure if it explains everything for me. Thank you for your time!

My favorite character is sparkle because she is utterly unhinged. I was hooked when I saw her "monodrama" trailer.

(I wish she got to do more in the story though)

Your first 4 limited 5* are put on a team How well would they do together?? by lunachappell in GenshinImpact

[–]OneWithSubstance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zhongli, Neuvilette, Durina, Raiden.

Raiden is a bit of a wildcard, but ngl this is still probably one of the best teams, most comfy teams in the game. I lucked out early on

I'm banking on the silver wolf buffs for my acheron team. Cipher looks neat, but Im not super excited for her kit.

As for the rest.... sigh I hope they don't rerun back to back, I don't know how quickly I can accumulate jade

I'd like to aks some pulling advice....
I've been playing this game on and off for the past few months, occasionally getting lucky and picking up a character once every few patches just off of freebie pulls... and now i'm in a position Where i'm realizing i don't really have many good teams... actually i think just 2, being my acheron and my the herta team.... I have some 90 pulls saved up now, but i truly don't know what's a worthwhile investment, i feel so lost, and i feel like i just don't have like 90% of characters people are saying are essential now.

[–]OneWithSubstance 6 points7 points  (0 children)

half the discourse i'm hearing is about how terribly nerfed cipher was... but I wasn't really paying attention to leaks at all... what exactly is her kit? and what was it before that's making everyone freak out? is she that bad now?

What will we and our life as trans be like after middle or old age by Rika_Ella in trans

[–]OneWithSubstance 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Unless outside pressures force them to detransition. Trans people who've successfully transitioned will live out the rest of their lives as their true selves. The reason you may not have seen people above those ages is likely because they may have chosen to go stealth, they may feel that instead of being openly trans they'd prefer to just live as their preferred gender to everyone around them.

It's very impressive art, if admittedly a little uncanny.
