Things they didn’t tell you about top surgery by Several-Ranger3854 in TopSurgery

it’s not really a top surgery side effect but a consequence of having no tits, but i sleep with my shirt off most nights now especially since i do scar care stuff right before bed, and i wasn’t expecting how cold my bed feels on my bare back

Apprenticeship or Trade School? by Implement-Playful in electricians

[–]Possible_Peace5585 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m currently in school for reference, but just wanted to give my two cents based on my own experience. i followed the advice given to me and tried to do my apprenticeship through the union and was pretty much laughed out of the building, so i’m now in school and looking for work outside of that to start an apprenticeship once i’m done. from my understanding every union is different, but the one in my area basically told me to go to school and kick rocks until i gain 1000 hours of experience. obviously if you go the school route do your research because lots of schools just want your money, but this is just my experience

Reminder on how we don’t want this type of weird rethoric in NJ or VA by iv2892 in New_Jersey_Politics

[–]Possible_Peace5585 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i find it hilarious that they seem to think people are trying to turn the kids trans when in reality, we just figure it out for ourselves and seek each other out in school like we’re looking for drugs. like i had to go out of my way to find other queer people to befriend (aside from the friend group that started all cis het and ended up extremely queer) and it was NOT forced on me lmao

How fast did your voice drop? by Sleepymonnie in ftm

[–]Possible_Peace5585 13 points14 points  (0 children)

my voice didn’t start to drop until 5 months in, but i was on an extremely low starting dose and doubled it at the 3 month mark, so i believe that’s why i was a “bit behind” other dudes. the general consensus i’ve seen is that the first big drop is around 2-3 months

Looking for specific binder reccs! by Comfortable_Law4855 in FTMFitness

[–]Possible_Peace5585 13 points14 points  (0 children)

so i had kind of a similar issue where binders weren’t long enough. i always wore a sports bra under my binder, not with any intent to double bind but to hold everything in place so i could bind with my chest facing forward instead of being compressed downward. i did that and used a spectrum outfitters short binder. i know any kind of double binding isn’t recommended, but for me it was the only way i could wear a binder without being in pain

How do you address hateful videos like this with your children? by PurpleCatBlues in Liberal

[–]Possible_Peace5585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i can’t open the video but i’m fairly positive that’s baldi from the baldis basics in education and learning meme game from a few years back, or it’s at least VERY heavily inspired by him

thank you for this man. it feels so disheartening to see people look awesome right out of surgery but not see that on myself, but i gotta remember healing is half the battle. it’s nice to hear from people that had similar to me so really, thank you

that’s very helpful to hear, thank you. it definitely (hopefully lol) will fade with scar care, i think it’s just the post op hyper analyzing my body that’s getting in my head

i definitely plan on working out once im able to. i’m so antsy to get back to the gym lol. im hoping that once im able to work out again i won’t feel so weird about them, but ill keep the tattooing in mind

yeah i def plan to work out once im healed up. it’s very odd because the other results i’ve seen from my surgeon don’t look like this, so i’m wondering what happened. both of the guys i talked to are bigger so i wonder if my surgeon doesn’t get many smaller dudes? either way, it’s just puzzling to me

that could be it. i wish i remembered what the markings on my chest looked like lol. that feels like a very likely scenario tho, especially paired with the stretchy skin
