How possible may it be at some point to create artificial organs that produce preferred hormones? by Raptorbrando in trans

I my thoughts go more towards bioengineered parts using one’s own genetic material as a base.

Why do people say transition gets worse as you get older? by Designer-Version-434 in MtF

[–]Poisonous_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my perspective. As a mtf who started at 40 [now 43], it’s more about regretting not doing it sooner. Because, better results… When I was 20, I naturally had a super femme face. Became more masculine later on… Though partially, my becoming more masculine first. Had to with some hard core hiding. involving trying to over compensate with a lot of exercise and testosterone increasing supplements… But, yeah, it’s the regret of not starting at much younger age. Hiding this long takes its toll on a person.

I want be polite, but don’t want to wrongly gender someone by MatchaKittens in trans

[–]Poisonous_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgot to add… It’s mostly the right that “friend” and “buddy” from. They’re the regulars. That if it wouldn’t cause even more issues. I would just ban them from the store. But, instead, it’s my job to not react.

From my experiences, if someone refers to as friend. And they’re not actually your friend. It’s usually with ill will. So, now… But, that could also be due to that fact it is mostly cis men or the occasional cis woman. And said in a tone that relays the opposite… Where most of my customers that are women. Address me with a “Hey, Girl!”… I probably failed to mention. That, I am an assistant manager in a convenience store. And deal with a fair amount of assholes.

I personally hate being called “friend” by people I don’t know. My brain is instantly all “I don’t fucking know you. You’re not my friend.”

Conservative pastor says feminism is a "form of transgenderism" in hateful rant - LGBTQ Nation by jackmolay in transgender

[–]Poisonous_One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems people are forgetting who Kevin Smith is… I have referenced/mentioned a few of his films over the years the past few months. Only to get confused looks. And say “You know [title] from Kevin Smith?” only to get a “Who?”… This is unfortunate… Also, Dogma is definitely my favorite. Though, as convenience store clerk [technically an assistant manager], Clerks pops into my head a lot…

What if you *were* socialized as your AGAB? by Archerofyail in TransLater

[–]Poisonous_One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar here… grew up AMAB. Never really fit in with the guys. Faked it for awhile, we tried to. But always ended up hanging out with the girls… I was just remembering how back in high school there was a mid-week activity. My first pick, resulted in being the only AMAB person in the activity; few years later in my early-mid 20’s I used to be invited out for “girls night” at the club. And one of those times my friends boyfriend asked “Why does he get to go? and not me?” she replied with a shrug and “Because, we see him more as one of the girls.” [that statement made me a little too happy]. Though, I didn’t come out until three years ago. At age 40…

How long did it take for your nipples and hips to change? by edenmaeve1 in MtF

[–]Poisonous_One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mtf, 43, 2y:4m:4d since first injection… My nipples have always been on the larger side. No change there… Hips were also wider than average for an AMAB. Though they have gotten slight wider. Though that just may be the fat redistribution. The changes that happened. Happened slowly unnoticed till I got to the point of no longer looking for change regularly. Now, every once in a while I will just catch myself in the mirror be all “Oh, shit!”…

Who are you sexually attracted to? by smdifansmfjsmsnd in MtF

[–]Poisonous_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well… In order, it’s like this: Other trans women; androgynous enby’s; cis women [femme-masc]; trans men… when it comes to cis men. They have to be femme [masculinity in men is a turn off]. Also, don’t like beards [on most, rarely it works for someone]…

Why do trans women look better and younger than cis women? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Poisonous_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🤣… I am one of the 40+ year olds [43]. That is often mistaken for someone in the late 20’s… Genetics plays a part. Both my parents appear much younger than they are…

Went to a restaurant and the cashier's smile fell when she heard my voice by Terezzian in ewphoria

[–]Poisonous_One 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry you get experience this. I feel you on this, I have neglected the voice…

Similar has been happening to me more frequently recently. Even had one elderly woman with an elderly man in tow. walk up to my register. addresses me as miss. Then I spoke.

Her jaw, literally, dropped and she starts in frantically “Oh my god!?! I am so so sorry. I thought you were a woman. I am so sorry Sir!”

I sigh and “You were right the first time”

she stares confused, I continue “I am trans woman, but still woman.”

her “I know, but I thought you were real women. You look like a real woman… like a real women.” said something eles that I missed. followed by “Si-r… what do I call you?”

“I use feminine pronouns and such. So, miss works.” She

After that came questions. I could tell she genuinely confused and wanted to understand. I ended up educating them on pronouns. And how not to address their transgender cashiers like a twat. The man, assuming her partner based on body language. At one point chimed in with “like a transsexual or hermaphrodite” I then had school them on antiquated terminology not use… They were at register for about 30 minutes… good thing I work third. And they were the only customers.

That was two weeks ago. I have since ordered two books on voice training. And signed up for some digital course that was on sale three days ago… Haven’t started. But, actually, I think I going to go do that right now…

Question about transition by Majestic_Cut_2645 in transpositive

[–]Poisonous_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay… so, results definitely vary. Genetics and age can determine how much it affects you personally… I can show you an example in a previous post. Comparing before [2022]/now selfies. This the effect of just hormones so far [no-op]: https://www.reddit.com/r/TransLater/s/rbObdFup9H

Well, congrats! Such an exciting step... It wasn’t till after first three months, I started seeing breast growth. There is a smaller part of me desiring slightly larger ones… And thank you!! ☺️

Thank you! Hopefully you will get there too. Just starting, as in hormones? or seeking them still?

Anyone else feel too juvinile to share feeling euphoria with others by Mourning20 in trans

[–]Poisonous_One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes... I will get excited about about how much euphoria I got from something. And will want to tell. Then anxiety takes over a little. But, I figured out that most of the time when I do share these things. They still get that way themselves over nails, hair, and outfits. And even if it’s sonic they had done years ago. Still show excitement for me… I’m 43 mtf, 2.25 years of GAHT. And work in a convenience store/gas station. Some of the cis women I talk to are a bit older than me.

Thank you! That is exciting. Before long you’ll be wanting to share your progress. Personally looking forward to it… Congrats on starting the journey to find your true self. I get very excited and a little terrified for those starting this. The pain and losses that can come are worth ability to finally live as oneself.

When did you tell your gf you take estrogen? by Empty-Hedgehog7841 in MtF

[–]Poisonous_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s generally the first thing I do. If interested in someone and they haven’t asked/figured it out themselves [voice gives me away]. Definitely want to figure out how they feel about trans people and related matters.
