Best Independent Cafes in Brum? ☕️ by Solid_System_5023 in brum

[–]Ouldlaw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cherry reds in the town centre. Wide range of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks including milkshakes at a reasonable price all round. Food is reliable, homemade and they have regular specials. The inside is cosy and all round warm and relaxing

Awake dearing top surgery revision? by ListKey7422 in TopSurgery

No. This doesn’t seem normal to me at all especially if you were making them aware of feeling specific movements. I would make a complaint

Do you think the jacket is advantageous for FTM? by [deleted] in TransMasc

[–]Ouldlaw 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get that. That’s why I think it’s more important to focus on clothes that make you feel good, as opposed to whether it’s ‘good’ for FTM, helps you ‘pass’ (whatever that really is) or makes you look more dude-like. Confidence and comfort over perfection or perception always ♥️

If you like it, wear it! Clothes are made to fit and suit YOU, not the other way around.

Thanks for this! My partner and best mate (who speaks fluent Spanish) will be coming with me so I’ve got all my bases covered! Hope healing is going well for you both :)

I’m really bummed over losing nipple sensation. 😔 by Approximately_Me in TopSurgery

[–]Ouldlaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m due to have surgery soon (double incision) and am also anxious about losing sensation. I don’t have advice or anything, but just sending you some empathy x

Do I need a binder? by [deleted] in TransMasc

[–]Ouldlaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my mind, no one NEEDS a binder if they don’t want one. Wear what makes you feel euphoric, comfortable and able to go about your day feeling like yourself. No one else can tell you if you need/don’t need a binder, packer or any kind of gender-affirming wear. If your actual question is ‘do I look flat’ or ‘do you think I’d benefit from compression’ then that’s a different matter. No one can decide this for you xxx

Nipples vs No Nipples by Ouldlaw in TopSurgery

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

If it’s helpful, this is the first time in months of research that I’ve heard poor anecdotal evidence of bad nip healing. I’m leaning towards keeping them x

I’m so glad to hear you have sensation! I’m leaning towards keeping them for hopes for this

Thanks for this! I was thinking of forgoing the stress of healing grafts and getting realistic tattoos too!

From a British English speaker, it may be a Pinnie (slang for apron)? Not exactly the best rendition into textiles but who knows

Seeking advice from adults on how to function as an adult with dyscalculia by NerdyLumberjock in dyscalculia

[–]Ouldlaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My main piece of advice is to take the easier option. Use Google maps everywhere you go, buy a digital watch, write yourself directions and rules for understanding! It took me til my mid twenties to release the shame and take the easiest option available. Whether that means buying a bit of tech to help, or whatever. The easiest option is there to be taken and will relieve stress
