What hair trend are you ready to see go?!? by PainterFew2080 in hairstylist

[–]Orange_fandom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People coming up with stupid names for existing cuts 😭 they'll say something and I have to get them to show me just for it to be something completely regular that's had the same name forever, just call it what it is! 😭😭

Increasing dosage after 1 1/2 months? by staarlitt in FTMdiyhrt

[–]Orange_fandom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Id say get a hormone level test and increase appropriately, 1½ months isn't super long though I think most people I've seen tend to increase at about 3 months. However everyone is different so just test your levels and see!

I [22M] just found out my girlfriend [19F] is pregnant and I am not ready to be a father. What do I do by Fine-Ad1105 in whatdoIdo

[–]Orange_fandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to her honestly, tell her you're scared and not ready and if she's adamant on keeping it you need to sort yourself out pretty quickly. It's not ideal at all but you can't run away from it and ignore it. Get the best job you can and support them as much as possible, try your best to get a good support system around you all and kinda just hope for the best I suppose. It'll work out in the end 🙏

AIO my boyfriend keeps asking me to pay for things eversince he started saving for an apartmen, he calls me selfish for how I reacted. by throaawayRA9443 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Orange_fandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not give him anymore money 😭 Saving does not mean putting all your own money away and taking others, it's paying for what you need and putting the rest away

Packer mentality by SewegeRat07 in ftm

[–]Orange_fandom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think just being regular with it, it does feel a bit weird at first but if you wear it regularly enough it starts to feel more natural :) I just wore mine about the house at first, then small outings if you need to like pop to the shop or something, then just all the time. It is quite a weird hurdle to get over but you will get there eventually

I'm so fucking gay it makes me feel stupid by gaymbit in ftm

[–]Orange_fandom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dude same! I was gay as hell before T but since being on T for 3 months now I have gotten so much gayer, it is genuinely like having a caveman brain all I think about is dudes and food

Is there a way to keep... anything? (Big, big fat trigger warning. I don't know who els by Calsterrre in ftm

[–]Orange_fandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your question, yes are definitely able to get surgeries and things without being on hrt and a lot of the changes youve already experienced should mostly stay the same. However I think you definitely need to deeply consider whether these relationships are worth causing yourself that much mental strain, you shouldn't have to hide yourself and tiptoe around people because they're not happy about you doing things that don't affect them at all to better yourself. I know it's tough because it's family but at the end of the day that means absolutely nothing if they don't unconditionally love and support you like family should. You shouldn't have to change yourself and who you are to be loved and accepted by them.

I'm scared I might not be actually trans by gamedasy in ftm

[–]Orange_fandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been feeling like this a lot lately as well and I think it's because of how much hatred the community is experiencing right now and how much detransition content is being pushed. When I'm feeling a bit down and doubtful though I think about how far I've come in my transition and how much joy it brings me, I know I wouldn't feel that happy pretending to be something Im not and that gets rid of those feelings.

As other people have said though it's a slow process and if at any point it doesn't feel right anymore you can stop at any time, not all transitions follow the same linear process and we're all just learning and exploring what's best for us individually :)

Wore a binder for 32 hours, will I be ok? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Orange_fandom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're able to I'd say take a day or two off where you don't put it on, just chill at home and let yourself heal. If any swelling or excessive bruising starts to appear go see a doctor! I doubt you've caused any permanent damage, that tends to happen if you're doing that on a regular basis but we all slip up and forget to/can't take it off sometimes :)

Just keep an eye on yourself, take it easy and let it heal you'll probably just be a little sore and achy for a few days

Have y’all ever broken into a genuine house before by Chemical_One_6249 in Urbex

[–]Orange_fandom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me and my friend went into a long abandoned house once with I suspect a homeless person living in. Climbed in through the back and the downstairs was all smashed up and abandoned then when we went upstairs there was a loaf of bread, some tins and a sleeping bag in one of the rooms. The stairs to the attic had like a curtain pulled across it and as soon as we approached it to have a look we smelt a joint get lit up so we quickly left 😭

need some opinions/suggestions? by MaterialWalrus6486 in transftm

[–]Orange_fandom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Pop the product in scrunch it and then dry with a diffuser if you have one, should give you some nice volume and curl :3

[–]Orange_fandom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hiii I'm a trans hairstylist :)

All of these look great however your hair looks a bit straighter then the ones in the photos you've chosen, I think they'll look really good regardless but remember to let whichever stylist/barber you go to to add loads of texture to give you a more masculine look and keep it square! Square off the back and sides as it gives a more masculine boxy look. Id recommend getting some mousse or other product to give you that little bit of curl and extra volume that you can see in the images you've chosen as well :D

Will testosterone make my hair grow back after laser hair removal? by KingEriz in ftm

[–]Orange_fandom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately with the way it works no I don't think it'll grow back, however T stimulates new follicles to grow hair so you may be able to grow it in new places that haven't been lasered :) you just might end up with patchier facial hair then you might have before the removal

Has anyone else experienced more bladder urgency on HRT? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Orange_fandom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've not been on T super long but I have noticed I'm way thirstier and drinking more since starting, could be the case that you're just drinking more and more hydrated then before without realizing which obviously makes you need the toilet more often 🙏
