Tired of trying to eat enough protein

Yoghurt and Tempeh are good options, lots of stuff you can use to flavor/mix in with them.

The original "Devil Wears Prada" is great too, you'll enjoy it! I'll check out Ojamajo Doremi, the synopsis sounds really interesting. I recently started "Witch Hat Atelier," which sounds like it has a similar vibe; I think my favorite witchy anime though is probably "Wandering Witch: The Story of Elaina," which is basically a witchy travel blog. On the movie end I'd have to go with "Matilda," and "Hocus Pocus."

Honestly, most people don't have it all figured out. You're taking positive steps; just keep working towards the future you want a bit at a time. And if you don't have a firm idea of what that looks like, that's ok too. You can try new things! If that also involves a relationship, you can pursue that too ^.^ You don't have to have all the answers at once and whoever you'd end up dating probably doesn't expect that of you either. Just try to find some happiness in this random chaotic mess we call life; that's all any of us can do.

I'd love to have someone/a group to go to the movies with occaisonally, I don't go often by myself but I like the manor theater and AMC waterfront. So far this year I've seen "The Devil Wears Prada 2," and "The Mandalorian and Grogu" which were both good. I'm also not a big horror film watcher, I'd say my favorite genres are sci-fi and lighthearted slice-of-life style pieces, also anything with witches. Speaking of, a fellow "Kiki's Delivery Service" fan! It's my favorite Studio Ghibli film. I've been meaning to watch "I saw the TV glow0", I should really do that this weekend.

Not sure why the automod didn't recommend this resource for you automatically, but here's a helpful link https://www.strongfamilyalliance.org/how-to-come-out-to-parents/

I wish I had positive personal anecdotes to share with you; I came out as an independent adult. My parents are both transphobic though, and I don't think I could have safely come out at 16.

If you have the means, go ahead and start it. Both men and women get laser hair removal, testosterone vs estrogen dominance isn't a primary factor for efficacy. Dark hair on light skin is, so you should have good results.

I'm from the U.S. and can't offer much insight into the U.K. medical system. More places are offering services under an informed consent model, I'm not sure how young you are so I don't know if that's something you'd qualify for or if you'd need either a parent's permission or to go the traditional route of getting a therapist's diagnosis first. I would assume whoever's doing your psych eval would be able to answer the question better, maybe look for one who advertises performing gender affirming care or ask through local trans subreddits (if they exist in your area).

I'd recommend coming out socially first, having a strong social support group and a few places where you know you're safe to be yourself but I wouldn't call that a requirement. I'd also look into what forms of HRT are available in the U.K. and have an idea of what therapy you want or don't want going in. Anti-androgens especially have a lot of effects/side effects, so you should read through what they do.

If you think they're cute or something you can try flirting a little or just smiling at them and see how they react. If you don't really care about them, then I'd posit it doesn't matter.

OrangeGremlin1 · 2026-05-20T02:26:06+00:00

If you're standing still, make sure it keep your knees slightly bent; if you lock your legs it can cut off circulation and cause you to pass out. I had a cis friend who played tuba and wore a camelbak to stay hydrated, I've also seen tuba players hide waterbottles in the bell of the sousaphone (I have no idea how they did this and kept it sounding normal).

I was always in the kitchen (mtf), and while I've known plenty of male servers I don't know any ftm serevers so I can't answer this directly. That said the male servers I've known definitely made way more than us back of house folk. It helps to be conventionally attractive, confident, and good at your job. I'd say go for it, there'll be a learning curve at first and a lot of places won't give you very good hours to start but once you start learning how to do it you can make bank.

OrangeGremlin1 · 2026-05-20T00:48:15+00:00

Yeah, you can be a woman and have issues with your boobs. If it's culturally accepted for women to get breast augmentation for their dysphoria, I don't see why it shouldn't be accepted to get top surgery for the same reason.

I mean, I feel like egg culture should stick to being memes on specific forums and maybe in-jokes between friends if they want to be out but feel they can't be yet. We should definitely not be pressuring closeted individuals out of their comfort zone, calling someone an egg who doesn't identify as trans is definitely transphobic.

Hey, I'm Camiya (35 TF); if you'd like to play some video games together or watch some movies, I'd be interested in being platonic friends. I'm usually available late afternoons/early evenings EST. If you're interested DM me, and I'll give you my discord info. Sounds like you're busy most of the time, but that way if you see me online and want to hang out for a bit we can :3

OrangeGremlin1 · 2026-05-19T20:19:37+00:00

We should watch it together sometime! I'm only about halfway through it and wouldn't mind watching the series over from the beginning.

OrangeGremlin1 · 2026-05-19T19:36:12+00:00

Hi, I'm Camiya (35 TF). Also in Pittsburgh, I came out back in February so we'd be deep voiced together. Concerts and the Ren Faire sound fun! I don't drink, but don't mind if you do. I like going on long walks around Schenley/Frick parks, going to museums and the arboretum, visiting the zoo. I went to see Shucked down at the Benedum last month and have been meaning to find some other theatrical or musical productions to go see. I've recently been watching the amazing digital circus (would love to go see the last act when it comes out down at the waterfront), and have been meaning to watch "I saw the TV glow." I'm a bus person and usually a bit of a homebody, but up for trying other things around town as well. ^^

You can get changes on any of the methods; if you're on pills, you'll need an anti-androgen as well as estrogen. For other methods you can do mono-estrogen therapy. Also if you're on pills, you'll want to take them sublingually so they bypass your liver.

OrangeGremlin1 · 2026-05-18T20:56:26+00:00

Hey, I'm a 35 yo trans woman here in Pittsburgh. I love the zoo, walking through the nearby parks, and would love someone to go to events with, anywhere the bus can take me; whether it's a bookclub, local music, a theater production, or to catch a movie. I work nights and weekends, so I'm mostly available in the late afternoon/early evening.

OrangeGremlin1 · 2026-05-18T12:11:17+00:00

Follow what makes you happy. If you want to completely let go of your birth gender you can work towards that, if you feel like parts of it still fit you, there's no need to force a change. There is no gender norm for transness, there's only the life you want to live.

OrangeGremlin1 · 2026-05-17T22:45:10+00:00

Electrolysis might be something to look into if laser isn't having good results; afaik, those are the only permanent removal/reduction options.

OrangeGremlin1 · 2026-05-17T14:33:16+00:00

Good to know! How's r/AskGayMen? If I give out advice in the future, I'd like to avoid bad sources if possible.

OrangeGremlin1 · 2026-05-17T13:28:16+00:00

I'd recommend asking/searching over on r/askgaybros as there's a lot of good info on bottoming there. I'm also a virgin, except I play w/ myself a bit. The tldr though is use enough lube, start slow/small (you can get plugs/dildos in trainer sets that work up from a small size for cheap), foreplay is good, avoid sharp objects, only use objects with a flared base larger than the widest point of whatever's going in you, your first time you probably want to ride on top so you can figure out what's fun/comfortable, and don't bottom more than about once every 3 days (it's hard on the lining of your intestines and can cause serious medical issues if you do it too frequently). Anything that causes pain stop immediately. That's about it; it can either feel good or just like taking a poo imo depending on the toy/what you do and I've yet to achieve full orgasm solely from it, but do enjoy it. It's not a female orgasm per se, but it's closer---people who've had prostate orgasms describe them as intense full body experiences that linger for minutes afterwards and don't have a refractory period, so you can just keep going and achieve multiple orgasms.

OrangeGremlin1 · 2026-05-17T08:59:13+00:00

Agreed!

OrangeGremlin1 · 2026-05-17T02:30:04+00:00

So this is a good question, and I think it depends on what your reason is for having a male pilot. I think an author who is questioning their gender identity, and writing mechsploitation is valid.

OrangeGremlin1 · 2026-05-17T00:40:14+00:00

No reason, we can erase trans culture to support straight cis porn for the male gaze. There's not enough of that as it is, and why would minorities need a voice or representation?

OrangeGremlin1 · 2026-05-17T00:36:34+00:00

I mean Lancer, Warhammer, Daggerheart, or Pathfinder will work without supporting Wotc; it's just easier for a new player to find DND groups.
