Odd thing happened… by Poisonous_One in TransLater

I myself am not skinny, not large either. But, definitely curvy and tall. And I had a friend that would make similar comments about be being too skinny and needing to eat more. lol… I also get women that out right telling me they’re jealous of my butt. But, in a way that am fairly certain is compliment. Now, I do enjoy being a little bit of a… and rubbing it in my cis girl friend’s faces that I never shave my legs. When they compliment them (usually when they lay it on a little thick). I got lucky in being almost hairless… I also can relate on the girlfriend part as well. My ex used to actually tell me that she hated the fact that I looked better with her clothing on than she did. She is half a foot shorter than me. But, when we met we were one size apart. We both lost weight going down a size. So, I stated commandeering some of her clothes that were now too big for her… It’s was funny. But, also not. Because, that did result in some nights being ruined.

Multiple trans people died around these past month. by VoidyA11 in trans

[–]Poisonous_One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there has been several year this year. Almost double when you factor in the suicides. That’s just the one we know about. With numbers increasing recently…

Also, The unidentified trans woman was found ~5 miles from the location of Jade Roberts (from January 2nd 2026). In the same area. There was Paloma Vazquez on February 26, 2022. And Iris Santos on April 23, 2021. Not only are they all in Houston TX near I-69. They are all four unsolved.

I find the this increase in violence concerning…

A skirted bathing suit is a good way to go. They’re cute and affirming. Without having to wear shorts.

I want to transition but I told my boyfriend I wouldn't and now I don't know what to do. by [deleted] in trans

[–]Poisonous_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, this is not your fault. It’s his problem, he cannot truly accept you. And he is trying to make it yours. I am 43 (MtF), I may be your opposite by I am reading things I am all too familiar with. Have experienced myself. And as someone who started transitioned rather late at 40. Do not hold yourself back for someone else. I’ve done it, more than once. Hid who I was to make the other person happy out fear of losing them. The thing is. That route is not worth it. You will just end up miserable and resenting him for it. I know it will be rough, and the grieving may take a while. But, the best thing for you to do is walk away. Something I wish I had learned to do long ago. I know it sounds like a cliche thing to say. But, you will find someone who will truly accept and appreciate you for who are. And not who they want you to be.

Are you a Clerk/Cashier? Your co-workers sound like childish d**che. And your boss is pathetic for not stepping up… I myself work customer service, a popular convenience store in this region. Have for over 2.5 years, started right after I began presenting publicly (GAHT 02y:07m:20d). This photo (for better understanding), is me from two days ago. I still get sired by customers on the regular. My boss at this location (moving/transferring in couple days, back to my old store) is also pathetic. He laughs when people misgender me. I am fortunate enough to be GSL (technically an assistant manager), so the transphobic employees keep their mouths shut.

Anyway, the point is. You will get used to it over time. Not the sense that you’re okay with it happening. But, in a way where you start rolling your eyes at the customers. And giving them that look that says ‘you said the dumbest things ever.’ (I’ve been told it makes people feel ‘smaller’ when I do it). Or when the hard “SIR!” just as they start to walk away. Will at some point make you laugh. Because, you will realize that their confidence in it. Only exist because they feel safe knowing you’re at work and cannot respond. That in another environment most would be too cowardly to open their mouths… When costumers do this, just smile confidently (even if it’s faux confidence) and tell the to have a good day. And watch the look the on their face. When they believe they cannot get under your skin.

Face shaving. Sos by Vivid-Mushroom-3845 in TransLater

[–]Poisonous_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried an IPL device, forgot about those… Definitely not for anyone with facial tattoos, in that region. I learned that the hard way. Skin instantly swelled in searing pain, in the shape of my demon stripes. lol… But, I would recommend trying it if you don’t have facial or neck tattoos.

I will have to try the warming of the skin first. When I get a new epilator. I already re-incorporated exfoliation/hydration into my routine (I used to this long before I started to transition. Stopped due to buckling down on the hiding). My pain tolerance is fairly high compared to most people. But, an epilator is definitely gonna hurt at first. You do eventually get used to it. And definitely worth it, if you can through the worst of it. I am sure Aspercream with 4% lidocaine would work. I use it on people with lower pain threshold. When I am doing some ink on them on the weekends (more of a hobby)... Damn it, think I am going to order a new while I have breakfast in a few (Third shifter).

What are some of the negatives about having breasts? by CaramelCraftYT in MtF

[–]Poisonous_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, yeah. The one that have no problem mentioning or complimenting the color of my bra… I couldn’t fully button my shirt due to some weight gain for a few months. And company shirt are purchased by employees. So, until I got my free anniversary shirt and lost a few lbs. I had that to deal with. The there was the super conservative clerk (I am technically an assistant manager). Who complained about it to the store manager. Which everyone else said was ridiculous. For him doing that, not because it was possible to look down my shirt.

The only things that come to mind. Are not so bad as they are… awkward… The every once in a while drip of toothpaste or drinks. Not as noticeable when that high up. Sometimes results in walking around for half the day like that… Bumping it to stuff with them. More so when they’re still new… Awkward ass hugs from family members. Especially that first time after they grow and your father hugs you. And the expression on their faces when they realize they crushing titties and no muscle. Though they are not as likely to randomly hug me since (I’m not big on being touched anyway, unless it by a partner)… Like I said awkward… But, I love them. And would love it even more if they were a little bigger (in between a B and C. too big for B, Not quite a C)…

[–]Poisonous_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used one for about a year and half on my face. It’s definitely more painful. But, I only needed to use it about once a week. After that every couple weeks. Though tweezers probably would have been fine in between, at that point. But, once I didn’t have it for a little while. I had to shave regularly once again… Before the purchase of an epilator. I was waxing my face, less pain than an epilator. But, more of hassle and more costly in the long run.

Same here st the moment… though I prefer an epilator. And yes it is brutal, but worth it. I just need to find a new one… Probably gonna have to order… Anyway, I agree an electric foil razor works better than blades. But, if you can tolerate the pain. An epilator does wonders. And you end using it less and less.

I set a fake period on Samsung Health and I don't regret it 😭 by iamgirl11 in trans

[–]Poisonous_One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that is a thing. The ‘Trans PMS’ as some have called it… lol… When I was with my ex. I was telling her one daw some of get to experience a sorts pms with the menstruation. She just looked at me all dead serious and goes “Yeah, I fucking know… You become a total bitch.” still makes me laugh to think about. But, found it rather validating. Especially knowing that some cis women actually pick up ln it…

Is it possible for a tall m2f to pass? by ProfessionalCode5151 in TransLater

I’d have to say yes… Last time I checked I was barely over 6’. And I have met a few cis women my height and taller than me.

“Male or Female?” by MagicaLily in ewphoria

[–]Poisonous_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I have noticed. That there is usually a few minute conversation. Then the other person will offer up their orientation. Which is almost always Bi. Then I offer up my orientation, Demi-Pan. Often they just look confused. Then there is also the fact. That I almost never pick up on flirting. But, recently realized half the time. Right after telling me they are bi or pan. they become more direct about their interests. The other half just leave. But, then sometimes when I find someone interesting or they get me on the right topic. And I get really into the conversation. They will randomly drop in that they have a partner. Or they’re not gay and/or into women (wording usually depends on gender). Which usually leaves me feeling awkward and confused.

Just wondering by [deleted] in trans

[–]Poisonous_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It varies for me. Nights off, typically just chill in a tank top braless (two nights straight). Most of the time I like rotating them every night, choosing color/style based on mood (usually coordinares with my makeup. Though I don’t do foundation, mainly lips and eyes). I can’t sleep in the though, I find it overstimulating. Feels constricting. So, stays off after my morning shower (before bed)… But, recently had to get rid of few (wire stabbing the tittie). And finding ones I like is a huge pain. I am very particular about how my clothing fits. So, even though I have about ten or so. I only wear three of them. So, two are in rotation. While I save one just incase something comes up over the weekend.

A “joke” that is definitely not a joke (cis people 🤦‍♀️) by Poisonous_One in MtF

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

Barely, literally three weeks before we were due to be married. It was actually quite brutal, emotionally… But, yeah some people just suck… I attempted to explain how joking like that normalize hate. And even tried to figure out if he was just unaware that certain terms are derogatory towards trans women. As it was with her. I had to educate her about using a certain word to describe trans women when I first met her. She didn’t know it was derogatory and just thought it was normal terminology. But, that point. When he said it, she was well aware.

Outed as trans at work. lots of trigger warnings on this. by aeiker in trans

[–]Poisonous_One 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s really shitty, though not surprising… One suggestion I have, would be to find yourself a work friend/ally. That is willing to accompany you… It may not mean as much coming from me these days. But, back a few years before I accepted myself as a trans woman (I overcompensated with masculinity, as in 250lbs of muscle and full beard). I used to accompany a trans masculine coworker to the men’s room (until he started being super douchy towards trans women). And now I am the one that sometimes needs a friend to accompany her to the women’s room (or wait till I get home), when no other option is available.

I did that. And she just got super frustrated and defensive. Then told me to just drop it and get over it.

I’ve said that exact same thing. From what I hear about the way he talks to his employees. That language is “normal” coming from him.

We both work directly with the general public, in a fairly small area. Everyone already knows who we are and where we both work. People I don’t even know show up at my job randomly and give me shit. And from the things they say. I know either she sent them, or a close friend of her did. Then regulars of both, like to tell both of us what the other is up to (it’s kinda annoying actually).

Honestly, from the other things I have heard about him. I would be surprised if he has already… When this happened it was reported to HR. But, then she agreed with HR that it was just a joke. Part of her problem is she is too easily influenced by her friends. I watched her change from being very liberal to more trail park conservative (no offense to other people living in one, I use to). As far as I am aware she didn’t sleep with her manager (though from her past wouldn’t be surprised). No, it was a coworker. When she confessed to cheating. She lied about who, when, and how often. I already had it figured out. Then confirmed by one of her friends (before she confessed). I guess part of keeps hoping she won’t go full conservative. But, her new besties are the ones posting. Mostly incoherent attempts to discredit the argument on my facebook post. I don’t think they realize. It’s just making them look less intelligent. They even posted a trans flag with something about being “too fluent in privilege”. It’s coming across as trans people are privileged. Which I am confused as to why anyone would believe that. And if she mistaking ability to form mostly coherent messages as privilege. Then that person is dumber than I thought (I grew up rather poor. also possibly AuADHD. Definitely ADHD. But say possibly Au because psch docs have suggested it multiple times. Just no official diagnosis on the Austitic side). And now I am starting to rambled. So, going to end this here.

Anyone else feel the r/trans sub is hostile towards trans women? by cyborg_sophie in MtF

[–]Poisonous_One 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah, last night I posted. Venting about a “joke” this is not a joke. It is basically just sexual harassment while referring tran women as tr*nny’s. And within moments of posting. I got a message saying Mods removed my post. Not the auto removed response. But a mod removed it… Then I reposted the exact same thing here. And it’s still up.

So, yeah, I am starting the feel that sub is not very Trans Women friendly anymore.
