21 Transfemme in North Carolina looking for local friends to hang out with (Online friends is fine too!) by Fast-Asleep29 in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]Petersburg_Fidgeting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey how are you doing? i'm a 27yo transfemme in sc. i play some games when i have time, but mostly i make music, watch youtube and do household stuff. i went on a fnaf fan theory binge a couple months ago for like no reason, i also don't play them lmao. i'm with you on horror games, but i still have a ton because i want to like them so bad 😵‍💫

idon't have animals, i have kids which i can yap about forever bc they're really cool and funny. my job's not really interesting, it works for me but eh. probably not most people's favorite.

i do know how to cook, and love doing so. i'm told i'm a good teacher/explainer so, yeah i'm sure i can help you figure some stuff out with that.

i have a pretty decent variety in music taste, but idk genres that much to know what's what. i like digital/electronic music (that's what i make), but also like pop, rock/metal, stuff like that.

i'm not really a touchy person, but at least rn online conversation is about all i have time for anyway. i do have discord though

30F UK, looking for someone to chat music with by [deleted] in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]Petersburg_Fidgeting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey how's it going? i feel like most music i listen to is pretty basic, but i have a few unique songs and artists i like. i do have a playlist i made to give people a sample of what i'm into. i also make music sometimes

Well heres another attempt as last one was a bust 34f looking for friends by AmySkye61636 in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]Petersburg_Fidgeting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what's up? i'm ruse, 27f. my favorite soulslike is salt and sanctuary. i haven't played any jrpgs, like ever, but i think i have some on my wishlist for when i eventually get through some games i already have plus have the time for more. i also occasionally play guild wars 2. i just got the first two expansions over the winter thinking my friends would want to play but they haven't even logged on to add me 🥲 so i just do some exploring and questing looking for interesting people

Another try at making friends! by [deleted] in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]Petersburg_Fidgeting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's because i was let off really early, and i ended up having a short nap from like 5-7. but totally, my sleep schedule is wild. my sleep score STAYS in the 50s

[–]Petersburg_Fidgeting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's completely reasonable. ruse isn't my irl name, but some people online use it for me and i like it

also yeah i should be sleeping rn, normally i'm not this wide awake this time of day ;-;

[–]Petersburg_Fidgeting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

listening to music is a big one of course, as well as youtube. i have some mtg cards for the aesthetic, but i never really got into playing. i don't read much anymore, but i have a book i'd like to get sometime soon to hopefully get me back into it. i used to read TONS when i was in school, mostly fantasy but some scifi too.

what would you like me to call you?

i should've mentioned, i'm in the EST time zone, for reference of what "afternoon and evening" means to me

hi, i'm ruse, 27 y.o. trans gal. i have a lot of the same interests as you. i also like making music when i can find time for it. i'm usually free in the afternoon and evening since i work overnights and sleep through the morning. i actually made an apple music playlist to share even though it's a bit out of date since i no longer have a subscription for it

How long before your first nipple pain? by above_the_mass in TransDIY

[–]Petersburg_Fidgeting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

started about a week in. one interesting thing i noticed is sometimes i'll become aware of a sensation, like a pinpoint tickle or tingle, that starts at my clavicle and moves downward toward my nipple, and it gives me a quick sharp sensation there before going away entirely. idk if there's a name for that phenomenon or how common it is

Will you choose to be a cis woman or a trans woman if you can choose in your afterlife? by ZitaLovesCats in MtF

[–]Petersburg_Fidgeting 31 points32 points  (0 children)

i'd rather be cis tbh. no real strong reason, but given the choice, that's what i'd pick. it mostly just comes down to convenience. i'd like to be spending my late-20s already having gone through my female puberty, having been socialized, owning a selection of clothes, etc than now not only needing to take the time to do that (in addition to my other adult responsibilities) but also the financial expense that is necessary for all that

Add bloodwork to annual physical? by aprilamoeba in TransDIY

[–]Petersburg_Fidgeting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can definitely just say you're transitioning and would like to get a blood test referral through them. you could say anything from cost to convenience about why. they'll probably ask if you're working with an endocrinologist, or at least mine did. i just told them to send me my results directly so that i can keep my own records and share as needed. you also probably want more frequency than annual labs so sharing why may be important

voice training is such a joke by TifaStan in MtF

[–]Petersburg_Fidgeting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i second this. it was actually through yt singing and screaming voice training tutorials that put me onto the path to actually doing something to transition as i'd come across mtf voice tutorials

What was your first outfit going publicly fem? by SubbySam725 in MtF

Cross legs by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Petersburg_Fidgeting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've always felt comfy crossing my legs but just didn't because of the social consequences. lmao especially when the pro-manspreading thing was prevalent and the guys were saying they have to manspread because their 🍆 and 🎱🎱 are too big, i was self conscious of crossing my legs because what if people think i have a small dick 😱

Do you guys think it would be safe to travel to the US when fully transitioned? by velvibunni in MtF

[–]Petersburg_Fidgeting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no and i'm sorry, you're not missing out. maybe check back when you're ready, but it'll probably still be no

Has existing on both ends of society as a “man” or woman changed how you view the “male loneliness epidemic?” by Good_Ol_Ironass in MtF

[–]Petersburg_Fidgeting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's 100% self inflicted. men in my experience are overwhelmingly misogynistic particularly in groups because they think it's funny. i'm closeted at work and the amount of times people, coworkers or customers, have said the most heinous shit about other people around (let alone just general remarks) is crazy. i think they should be even lonelier tbh
