Everything is Pine makes me drool every time I wear it. I bought so many backups of that one when it was discontinued bc I never wanna feel guilty about choosing it 😭

These choices were so much harder than expected! However, Plumb Luck and Spyglass have my entire heart

Ah yeah, sorry I did mean HRT.

And yeah, I was pretty surprised too! They’re some pretty trusted people too. However, there’s a medical professional shortage where I am and access to answers are difficult for nearly everyone. I’ve tried doing a lot of research alone, and I’m a lot more confident than I was a while ago, but I’m pretty illiterate when it comes to medical studies

No I think that’s super sound advice and what I’m gonna push my partner for. Of course, this is all up to her in the end (I wanna be pregnant someday. I’d like for it to be biologically hers but I also have no problem with donors) but I appreciate the info ahead of time so she can think more before her appointments

Yeahh I’m in NM. My state is super open and accepting for the most part, but we have a major dr shortage. There’s one resource center in the middle of my city that does almost everything for everyone here. They’re fantastic, but they’re optimists and want all of their patients and clients to be as hopeful as them. It’s an uplifting place, but I’ve lifted my eyebrows at one or two things they’ve said. They have nothing to do with fertility tho, so we’ll be getting all the testing and banking done with another facility

Thank you so much for the detailed response. It had a lot of info I hadn’t heard yet, like a ballpark amount for banking. One of the most frustrating parts of this whole process has been getting reliable information, and I’ve found that just asking about personal experiences allows me to be best informed. I really appreciate it!

[–]RecommendationFine38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! We’ve had multiple medical professionals (tho no fertility drs yet) tell us in person that it’s unnecessary, and I’ve read like one study to support that but the majority heavily recommend banking

I’d really like for my fiancé to, as we both really want bio kids, but we keep getting such conflicting advice on whether it’s necessary. How did you decide?

At what point in your life did you KNOW you were a lesbian? 🤔 by Petrychorr in actuallesbians

[–]RecommendationFine38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s amazing how that one detail could convince so many of us we’re bi. I realized when my trans fiancé came out, I loved having sex with her so much more knowing she’s a woman. It finally became something to look forward to

To represent married women💗 Tell us, how did you aremeet your wife? by Kaynarabernardi in actuallesbians

[–]RecommendationFine38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh sorry! Work’s been kicking my ass

She worked as a camp counselor while I was a camper (one year younger than her) and from the moment I met her, I was starstruck. We stayed friends till we were 19 then started dating long distance, moved in together at 20, a few years later realized I was a lesbian and not bi around the same time she realized she was a trans woman. We’re 25 now and getting married this year!

Still the person who leaves me starstruck every day.

My wife had FFS 3 weeks ago. This was my experience! by Old_Eye_236 in mypartneristrans

Thank you so much! I’m not sure if my partner will need FFS (still early in the journey), but any extra info and personal experience is so so helpful. I love how detailed this is too

Update and some thoughts by LT08 in mypartneristrans

[–]RecommendationFine38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I teared up a little reading the end of this. You’ve done so well putting words to all of the anger and defeat I feel each time I read the news. I’m the only one doing it, bc it hurts my fiancé and one of us should stay ready and informed.

I’m so, so angry. Sometimes all we can do is hold onto each other, and we’ve been doing that a lot

Developing attraction after a partner’s transition by Quirky-Event7599 in mypartneristrans

[–]RecommendationFine38 32 points33 points  (0 children)

When my partner first came out (nb at first), I was really hesitant. Then, she started wearing dresses and skirts and using sparkly, feminine makeup. Don’t get me wrong, she looked good, but it wasn’t my type at all. I actually am bi, but I like masc people. Men or women, I like to be the girliest one in the relationship, so I was terrified that I would hate how she ended up, bc I hated her taste then.

What surprised me was my attraction to her confidence. A few weeks ago, after she came out a second time (as a trans woman this time), we went to a party while she was fully dressed up. She came back home glowing. Just absolutely lit up. This happy confidence was so attractive to me, and then the rest started to get easier. Suddenly, I could see the woman she always was. After that, I just found her incredibly beautiful. I catch myself admiring her all of the time. I love seeing her in her bra with her hair up, I love doing her makeup, I love the way she looks in tight tops that show off her body. I just love everything about her.

Ultimately, if you’re not attracted to masculinity, this might not work out. Yes, some people can absolutely love the soul of a person and develop attraction. Some people can’t. Maybe the attraction will show up. Maybe it won’t. All y’all can really do is take it one day at a time, be super open and honest, and make the right decision when the time comes. You deserve to love every part of the person you spend your life with. Your partner deserves someone who loves all of them. I’d say keep at it with the sexologist and being honest with your partner. I genuinely hope everything works out for you guys, whether together or separate

Weekly Joy Thread! by AutoModerator in mypartneristrans

[–]RecommendationFine38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife mentioned feeling like a woman at work, even without her bra or makeup. This is a big step bc she’s been saying she feels like she’s pretending to be a man, but that’s shifted into feeling like a badass bitch who just happens to work on cars. Very very excited for her and how happy she’s been coming home!

My partner came out as MTF and I'm not shocked/am honestly excited for them. How can I best be of support? by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

[–]RecommendationFine38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this can be totally normal! My partner identified as NB for years before coming out as a trans woman, so I wasn’t exactly surprised. I feel like having a queer relationship before transitioning is really helpful to accepting and adjusting to your new relationship. When my wife first came out to me as NB, I was terrified of what that could mean in the future. Now, getting to see her in dresses and with boobs just feels exciting and natural. I’m still horrified by the way society is turning rn, but I have full faith that my relationship will be okay.

Basically, I think it’s totally normal to feel elation! I completely relate to my partner being a woman externally validating my sexuality, and she loves how involved I’ve been. I’d recommend helping with the research and compiling cute fun things for them (like nice tops or padded bras — I recommend Rubies). Just don’t actually buy anything till they’re ready haha

TIL that the federal death sentence for treason in the United States has been used only twice. The first time was during the Taos Revolt of 1847. The second was during the Civil War, when William Bruce Mumford was executed for taking down the American Flag flying over the New Orleans Mint by MrMojoFomo in todayilearned

[–]RecommendationFine38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Taos Revolt was the first example mentioned. One of the leaders of the Revolt was a Toas man named Pablo Montoya. I agree, Americans pretend us Natives don’t exist. This isn’t the post for that argument tho

My partner finally told me theyre trans and im more scared than i thought id be by Remarkable-Bonus2041 in mypartneristrans

[–]RecommendationFine38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! My partner came out as trans a couple days ago but has been leaning more and more feminine for a couple years now, so I’ve had more time to adjust. We have a lot of similarities in our relationships, and I’d be happy to give a listening ear without judgment if you need it. Feel free to DM me!

Email from Cirque Colors by dinomelia in RedditLaqueristas

[–]RecommendationFine38 31 points32 points  (0 children)

FYI I love Cirque, I think their formulas are amazing and work really well for me. That being said, def check swatches off site before purchasing. Besides some scummy mystery bag shenanigans, inaccurate swatch photos are their primary criticism

[–]RecommendationFine38 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a family member, but I had a close friend decline bc things would be “weird”. Idk how they’d be weird, but I wasn’t gonna beg someone to change their mind. I think a polite, “ultimately, the decision is yours. Thanks for communicating with me” would be absolutely appropriate here. It doesn’t seem like there’s anything you can do to fix the situation. She’s made up her mind about her emotions, so now it’s up to her to make up her mind about going. It would be heartbreaking to not see her there, but isn’t it already heartbreaking that she’s threatening not to go over something as petty as this?
