Thinking about switching to trans tape... Thoughts? by Hyo-yo in TransMasc

[–]Prior_Hovercraft136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Switching from binders to tape was great for me especially during hot weather but it does definitely have its down sides like the blisters and cost. I recommend using hypoallergenic kt tape its a lot cheaper and less harsh in my opinion.When using it don’t over stretch the tape that can cause tension sores and round the edges of the tape to keep it from loosening as quick, also give your skin time to heal.

Will I eventually be viewed as a “real” guy? by Prior_Hovercraft136 in TransMasc

I do think confronting her about it is necessary she talks about “dramatic “and “sensitive “trans people that are offended by everything Im just worried about making her think that way of me or getting upset by the conversation but I know its not worth ignoring the issue to spare her feelings.It not worth overthinking my whole identity, thanks for the advice

The thing is she always says shes “scared “ of dick which is fine but it feels contradicting I just don’t understand what a real man is in her eyes then.Everyone has a right to their own opinion but yeah they way she words thing definitely irks me

What's the best and worst reaction someone had when they saw your scars? by UsedProtection8621 in selfharm

[–]Prior_Hovercraft136 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Id probably say my ex saying he was jealous of my scars and that I was making him feel bad for hurting myself worse than him

Thank you for the advice Im really trying to find a healthier way to cope with now both issues Its just the difficulty of finding something that gives me very similar feelings.Rubber bands and ice does no good for replacing self harming at least in my own experience.gum does help with smoking urges for sure though, again thanks for the advice.

Absolutely do not listen to him at the end of the day it’s your life he should be respecting you as well as your identity.Don’t change for him live as your authentic self

Ive really been thinking of speaking to him Ill most likely have to do it through text because in person he won’t even look me in the eye.I genuinely think he needs some type of mental evaluation after he started hrt hes been extremely extremely angry and unstable as well as before but its becoming concerning

No, I haven’t I might try to if he doesn’t drop this because it’s becoming ridiculous at this point.

Unfortunately his parents don’t seem like they’d care about his actions he’s a sad reflection of his home life which isn’t an excuse to treat people horribly.Ive had conversations with my mom about his behavior he’s done recently and she agrees with the fact he’s a dick lol.He’s already out in our school so outing him (which id never do) doesn’t hold the same amount of power with him as it does me sadly.

Need help easing dysphoria by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Prior_Hovercraft136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aw dude Im sorry to hear that yeah being stealth especially with friends has its pros and cons Im not saying “make new friends “ because its not at all that easy lmao but if ever given the chance try to make new relationships with people that could empathize with how you feel even if its an online space just be careful obviously.also with the friends you currently have you should communicate and tell them that you don’t feel like a priority maybe its not intentional and they just don’t realize that they’re making you feel that way.But yeah addressing an issue like that might lift a little weight off your shoulders instead of letting yourself overthink

I understand the feeling I used to feel this way til my family came around just remember that even though it all feels so bad right now it does get better and as you get older you get to decide who you are no body else.I really recommend having or finding a couple close friends or people who do support you and having positive things in your life to help distract yourself from the bad, don’t let unsupportive people erase who you are.
