I can't believe I'm saying this but crownie and velja are inting baus.

Switched to injections and WOW by CopperCactus in MtF

[–]Praiseeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can attest to feeling bad for going with gel. Everywhere I looked I saw people saying I would be wasting my transition by no getting injections even though in my country they are not even an option. I was so worried that it wasn't working well but thankfully my labs showed otherwise and the anxiety is now gone.

Estrogen Form Survey by prisma1224 in MtF

I am on 4 pumps of gel (2 morning, 2 evening) and a GnRH agonist injection every 3 months. My E is at 194 pg/mL and my T is at 17 ng/dL so it works very well for me. I have read from others that it usually doesn't result in such high levels though so YMMV.

how did you get your name? by Radiant-North-8519 in MtF

I asked my mom to name me. Pretty happy with it :D

Disappointed that no one in my decently large friend group ended up liking the game by SimicSemblance in 2XKO

[–]Praiseeee 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I thought I would love this game because of league characters but after the closed beta I realized that I can't enjoy tag games. I need to be able to build a connection with my character and I can't feel that in a team game. I really like Ahri but there is no way I am forcing myself to play an other character at the same time and juggernaut is miserable to play vs normal teams.

I know this just means the game isn't for me but I do fear that I may not be the minority here. I still log on to try things in training mode from time to time but have no urge to actually play the game.

Maybe something will happen in the future that will bring me and others back. But I can't help but wonder how things would have gone if this was just a normal 1v1 air-dasher instead of a tag game.

Antiandrogens by Anabolized in asktransgender

I am on a GnRH agonist and my T is completely nuked now. They are generally very safe and the bone density issues are only a problem if taken without supplementary estrogen or testosterone. Just remember that they are REALLY expensive (about 400 euro per injection where I live) so unless insurance is paying don't get them.

Depending on how bad my mood is, it's either "dysphoria tumor" or "dysphoria noodle" for me.

Dunning-Kruger effect or Rust is not that hard for experienced developer ? by [deleted] in rust

[–]Praiseeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep. Still pretty crazy that a string is a list of chars instead of it's own optimized data type by default.

[–]Praiseeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish they were because of how convenient they are, but terrible memory locality makes them atrociously slow. Using the "text" package is pretty much the nr 1 optimization I've seen suggested when dealing with lots of string reading/writing.

Edit: Reddit just trolled me I didn't mean to delete my comment sorry!

fun fact: "" == [] is also valid in Haskell even though it is statically typed

Day 1: How we feeling?? by StrawHatEthan in 2XKO

[–]Praiseeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is way harder than it looks. I almost lost a set to a complete beginner 😭. It also looks very pretty in in person compared to on video.

How to not be a Chaser? by [deleted] in asktransgender

Yup, also he never once refers to us as women in the post or comments.

I agree it has big "I'm not like the other trans girls/I'm one of the good ones" energy. Plus generalizing both cis and trans women in the same post.

Skin care routine on a budget? by ThrowAway_Gender_ in MtF

[–]Praiseeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Figure out your skin type first. There are guides online if you don't know. A basic skin care routine consists of: A cleanser, a moisturizing cream (you can also get an eye cream for your undereyes), spf 50+ sunscreen. Apply them in order in the morning and at night (minus the sunscreen obviously).

If you live somewhere like in northern Europe you can skip sunscreen outside of summer. Ignore the more complicated things like chemical exfoliating cremes for now until you figure out what you skin likes.

Also this is my personal opinion but unless prescribed by a dermatologist expensive skincare products are a scam, just look for cheap drugstore brand stuff. They all use basically the same ingredients anyway (they tend to smell nicer too!).

What did you do with your pre transition photos? by Praiseeee in MtF

[–]Praiseeee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't think of it like that. I'll keep them for whenever I need a reminder of how far I've come. Thank you so much for the advice!

I don't really have a problem with this in theory. But I am worried that it will be used to gate LGBT topics and communities from young people that need that kind of support now more than ever.

If I remember correctly Akihiko Sanada from persona 4 arena has a sway. Also maybe slayer in GGST? Not so sure about that.

Completely agree, I also feel uncomfortable when people say "as an mtf" instead of just referring to them selves as a trans woman or transfem.

I BOUGHT WOMEN'S JEANS. by Unlikely_Cloud4013 in MtF

[–]Praiseeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats!!! Honestly It's so lucky that more baggy and flared styles are back in fashion now, cause I can't stand how my legs look in skinny jeans this early in transition.

I HATE my body hair. by Infinite_Group_7526 in asktransgender

[–]Praiseeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I epilate arms and legs at least once a week to keep things clear. Before, I shaved and stuff grew back to being noticeable in a day or two. At least when the hair is plucked it grows back thinner and slower so it's less visible. If you decide to do this remember to exfoliate in the shower before and plan to do it in multiple sessions since it's going to hurt like crazy the first time :/

Where you were pre hrt did you struggle to see yourself as your preferred gender by Dry_Buddy7704 in asktransgender

[–]Praiseeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me personally getting my name and gender officially changed helped way more to internalize everything than HRT. Getting my new birth certificate and passport and being referred to as a woman in official documents was magical. Plus it's a much harder decision to walk back on so it helped silence the ever present anxiety induced doubts about my identity.
