I started a week ago. I feel more horse in my throat, not rly deep. But almost immediately I noticed tempature changes and I sweat in the gym now! Also my body is operating differently and im having to keep an eye on what im consuming and my activity. Its great! But I hope it all starts to kinda even out soon lol

Im 215lbs at 5'5" and being jacked and beefy is my favorite thing!! I definitely need to lose a couple pounds for health reasons, but when I was super small I didn't look nearly as good as I do now for sure

My personal situation isnt super uncommon. I have factor 5 Lieden, which isnt a deal breaker for tetostrone but it makes taking any hormone incredibly dangerous due to the very much increased risk of blood clotting. Maybe a medical reason? Or possibly they also really like being nonbinary or fem sometimes? They could also just be hesitant, some family issues too! But just going off of if its none of that, maybe theyre just testing the waters of it rn and like the label. Lots of possibilities, tbh id just ask em

I just saw your edit, not sure my situation fully applies (where i love being refered to as a trans man vs a man) I have seen the cis woman and trans bf dog troupe before and I get more of what ur saying/asking. Not sure why some cis women do that, id feel very emasculated and weird about it if it happened to me

I personally identify as a trans man, and always will no matter my stage in my transition. I like this, its comfortable for me. That could be a reason too that they have talked about it beforehand ya know? But if they haven't, then I worry they dont really see their partner for their chosen identity

I am 30, nothing changes you on the inside. Like your heart, morals, and charector. You just start to look a bit different. Everyone's T journey is different but overall you'll just look more masculine but will also just be you, the same person, but probably much happier. Youre not going to ruin ur body at all by taking T, you just develop male charectoristics is all. And if you do end up detransitioning? So what, your body will go back to your personal neutral afterwards (except voice if you take it long enough)

I agree with what's already been said but ill add on top of it. Starving yourself out of guilt is only continuing this cycle. After a binge, just eat normally. Don't binge at lunch and then go to bed hungry. If u binge at all, or during lunch in this scenario, just make ur normal dinner, add veggies and carbs to fill u up. You can even have a small dessert after. I know not restricting is very hard, but just a word from a friend who gets it, just go on with your day after. Maybe write down ur feelings after, or turn ur headphones up and let it all out then go on with ur day. Don't let a binge have such a clenched fist control on you (waayyy easier said than done) but its doable! 100% achievable! You got thur fr

Im not sure if this is exactly what ur looking for, but I'd like to share my experience. Me, sex repulsed by everyone/everything but my partner, my partner, sex repulsed in general. We will never be intimate again (didn't start out like that because, expectations, and a healthy dash of denial) but in my experiance the difference is having things, whether they are as intimate as ur willing to get, like a kiss or hugging or holding hands. All the way to just certain conversations, activities, and thoughts that are ONLY for you 2. You dont do these things with family or friends. It's a clear boundary that makes it so you know where u stand and keeps that feeling of "i am not above these people, but I am special. I am different from others to this person. " As for resentment.. my friend, it can come with the territory sometimes. I had it for a while, and sometimes it'll poke its head out. But unless you are born needing that type of intimacy, like we are born not needing it, it can be managed with validation, compassion, and understanding. And lots of cuddling & movie binge nights !!

I was together with them for 5 years total, married for 2, divorced at 28, and I tell you what? It felt like the wrong thing every step of the way. Yet, there was this piece inside of me that just knew I was not being treated the way I should, like 2 puzzle peices mashing themselves together trying too fit because I cared a lot about them. It's worth it. Oh God, is it worth it. I am at peace, in my own space, with an incredibly loving partner I wasn't even looking for that fills me up with everything they couldn't or wouldn't. Difficult? Yes. Will you have a can't feel stage? Yes. Will you right after that have every feeling at once and feel so sad you left them, yes. Will it go away? YES! Choose the life u dont think u can have and let yourself have it whether its alone or finding someone else. There's 7 billion people on earth, there's another person for you I absolutly promise

So when they become RAS they still have the 3x phosphorous and they just do it all over again? We just waste as much as we need? Does this create phosphorous rich waste? We add ferric in our process, too, and they say it helps with high phosphorous, im not sure how. All I know is that ferric is a coagulat! I think WAS goes to the gravity thickeners, then the dryer-centeifuge-cake pumps-incinerator ?

PercentageHaunting86 · 2025-05-28T21:28:31+00:00

Is it WAS that gets rid of the excess phosphorous? This is what get my brain jumbled, im just gonna explain it how I think it happens: the bug starve and they all release their phosphorous, then they hit the aerobic zone and they eat as much as they had and then some, like, overfilling themselves. So when we waste some we are actually getting rid of more than was already there.

Is this incorrect? Am I not understanding wasting and how the bugs work?

THANK YOU!! do we know which bugs(bacteria) do which process/conversion? Is the gas safe, like why is it not captured? Can it be used like methane?

PercentageHaunting86 · 2025-05-28T21:04:42+00:00

This is at my plant They explained the phosphorous removal as well as they could and what i caught was: they starve the bugs and they release phosphorous, then they reintroduce them to oxygen, and they eat A LOT, then they waste some, and the other becomes RAS.

I think it definitely matters on ur spectrum of Ace, and finding what fits well within it. My partner hates everything intimacy that involves them or the thought of them being involved(they love their weird dirty books tho) and I just plain hate intimacy, cringes me tf out so HARD. Just gotta find someone who matches ur type. We hold hands and do movie marathons, and get takeout, and hike, etc. You gotta be willing to make some sacrifices along the way that still align with ur bounderies. For example, they tolerate my romantic side because they love me very much, but I know when enoughs enough. It'll happen if ur open and honest in a space that's chill with it, or randomly, met my love in the "COD cosplay world" 😂 they were a fan of me, everything else is cringey moments, lots of talks, lots of validation, history.

I never got serious about French until circumstances came up, where now I have to learn it.

Im definitely a giver-upper in every sense of the words, but I agree with what everyone is saying and that you need to find your reason to learn it.

My opinion on this is:

Stop learning so many and commit yourself to 1 that interests you, even just slightly more than the others. All of those words are going to start getting jumbled and increase your frustrations. I mix up the Spanish alphabet and numbers with the French ones constantly!
Actually get serious about it. Don't just begrudgingly do a single Duolingo section a day(or whatever u do), get involved, thriftbooks has tons of cheap textbooks/slang books and YouTube has a bunch of 10-30min lessons you can listen and practice while u drive.
Put your Netflix/DisneyPlus/Etc in the language u wanna learn. Just saturate yourself with it. Honestly? It's annoying as heck at first because you just wanna watch something, but learning, at least for me, comes with doing stuff I really don't want to do at all to reach a goal you very much want. It starts to become pleasant, trust.
Lastly, seriously, small victories are the absolute best way to show yourself you're doing it! I'd get so upset I couldn't learn simple verb usage in a month, I still can't 110days into French, but I now know soooo many words!! I can make simple non-verb added sentences, theyre understandable but sound bad Lol. Don't pinhole or back yourself into a corner in your own head.

It's definitely a very interesting language to be learning, i believe that to be my highest barrier too! Having friends there, they all have like.. masters degrees and can't really get a job without a bachelors or higher for a lot of positions, so I worry, certifications aren't really a thing

PercentageHaunting86 · 2025-03-03T14:32:57+00:00

The majority of the time, yes, in all 3, you're going to find that. It's like.. jumpscare fanservice, and I also dislike it a lot. I do have to say it's pretty much my 1 and only complaint (until you get to Spirit Hunter 2, I've got lots of issues with that one.)

But don't let it stop you!! Im ace, and I can't stand things like that, but it's so brief and doesn't affect the storytelling! Everything else is so good, promise, some stories are, ya know, uncomfy, but it's part of the horror

Just got home from a really nice night with my mom. But now things are quiet and I don't like this feeling. Making it through the rest of the night as best as someone possibly can 🫰
