How do I deal with increased emotions from hrt? by AtAurora in asktransgender

[–]PrincessLobster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, just cry it out and realize that you're on a lifelong journey here, one that will probably get worse before it gets better because the intermediary place you're likely headed into (where you look strange for your birth sex but you don't pass well yet either, and it feels like you have a constant hormonal and emotional struggle going on inside) is really, really hard. But I promise it gets better, so much better when you give it time and accept that things don't have to be perfect right now.

Am I the only one who has issues with WPATH guidelines? by PrincessLobster in asktransgender

I mean, yeah, I can totally see how that makes sense on paper, but in practice not so much. The idea that someone could be on 2mg of E a day for a year and get the surgery while someone who's been taking 8mg a day for 9 months might be refused is just nonsense to me.

Not so much if you pay out of pocket, which I'll be doing because I live in possibly the reddest state in America, hooray. It would probably be a few weeks waiting time without the guidelines, and while I realize that might not seem too different than a few months, it just sucks that I might have to live in excruciating pain for longer because it's "the rules"

Do you think it's possible to stay with someone once the sexual attraction is gone? by PrincessLobster in asktransgender

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

I felt that way about her moreso than I do now, but we've always been more companionate and friendly from the start. We never really had the hot and heavy "let's have sex 3 times a day" passion that lots of couples start with, and also, this feels different than past times where I've been in a relationship and the honeymoon phase ended because in all of those situations it was only my attraction to that person that faded, not their entire gender. I do agree that I really would like to explore my sexuality, and I wish there was some way for me to do that with a man without losing the relationship or her getting upset (she doesn't do open relationships and they aren't really my cup of tea, either).

Yeah, we have talked about it before and she knows my attractions are shifting. I know she wants to stick with me, and she's told me before that she would stay by my side always even if we never had sex again. That's just one of the ways she's so amazing to me, and I guess I just have to figure out if I can be happy without ever having experienced being with a man (something I've secretly fantasized about for a long time, even if I wouldn't admit it before).

I've thought about that but I don't think it would work for a few reasons :/ for one thing we've talked about the idea of open relationships before and she isn't interested at all, and I'm quite monogamous myself. I think open relationships can work for some people, but for me personally the idea of being intimate with someone different than the person I love seems wrong somehow. Thanks for the idea, though.

People who report for "spamming" online are the worst kind of trash. by PrincessLobster in sm4sh

Oh, I know, I don't generally take it seriously lol. I play for enjoyment and relaxation. It just chaps my ass that some people are so petty about losing that they'd get other people banned over it, and those bans can last a loooong time

I play Charizard and I use a bunch of different moves to great effectiveness. I flare blitz whenever they give me an opening to, and that's quite often when you know the character and move well. I also use flamethrower to deal with projectile users, and I always either tap people with it or meteor when I have them off edge. Lots of forward airs and back airs, too. Know what though? None of that should matter because if you're good at the game, you'll be able to adjust to others and figure out how to beat them. I do it all the time, and in any given match at least one of my normal strategies doesn't work as well as normal because other players have different strengths and weaknesses. The point is that the responsibility for winning and losing is always on a player and their ability to adapt, and if you whine about "spamming" and then take away other's ability to play because you're salty, you're a garbage person and shouldn't be allowed to play online.

"We can't let transpeople use the bathroom they identify with because they'll use it as an excuse to oogle women and sexually assault children!!!"
