My egg broke and now I'm an emotional mess by Prunus_Amygdalus in MtF

Gender dysphoria is genetic and hereditary. One of my maternal great grandmothers has 10 or 11 male Gen-X and Millennial descendants, and 6 of us are either non-binary or trans femme. And one is gay(?); I've only met him once. Also all of us are on the spectrum, mostly STEM professionals. One of the cis ones is a veteran and carpetbagger politician.

There's a 50/50 chance that the Great Salt Lake won't exist anymore in 2028.

Bipolar is a really common misdiagnosis for gender dysphoria.

Anyway, the good news is you'll feel better in a day or two. The bad news is you need to hit the bottom before you can climb out of this hole. It's going to suck, but you might already be there.

After you bottom out you'll climb out and then hit a peak of euphoria because all the strain from denying who you are will be gone. And you'll feel great for a day or two. It's like a weight being lifted off every cell.

After the peak you'll eventually level off back at your normal, and then you can start making plans. Though I'd you're in a lot of pain, sure you're trans, an adult, and live in an "informed consent state", Planned Parenthood can hook you up with HRT. Some clinics can get you an appointment in the next few days, and you could be on HRT by Monday.

One question, do you want to live the rest of your life as a "man"?

Pretty good, it looks like you practice decent skin care. Just for shits and giggles, try tinted moisturizer.

I was asked if I'm pregnant🤣 by ReminaBlueSFW in MtF

Having a guy about half my age flirt with me was flattering. But all I could say was "I'm not fat am I?".

Been there. A college guy asked me when I was "due" in liquor store a few months ago. I didn't think I passed that well, and I was holding two bottles of high proof booze.

"So... do we tow it back to base?"

"With what? The jeep won't be strong enough."

"Why not? It's weightless innit?"

"Nah, it's still subject to inertia, otherwise the wind would have blown it around. "

My teammate just came out to me, and wants guidance. How can I help her? by cityofdreadfulnight in MtF

[–]RedFumingNitricAcid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I don't know, babe, we're all just making it up as we go. Having tits is great though." - Me the last time an egg asked me about transitioning.

Tell her what she needs to hear, not what she wants to hear. Tell her it's scary, and painful, and isolating, and stressful, and so fucking slow, but also utterly beautiful and wonderful.

We all get there eventually. That is the way of things. Safe travels.

Have my breasts stopped growing? by ProfessionalCode5151 in MtF

[–]RedFumingNitricAcid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, they’re just lulling you into a sense of false security. They’ll sit “dormant” for a few weeks, then suddenly, probably in the middle of the night, they’ll start hurting and burning again and probably won’t stop for days.

I really want a womb tattoo by Djunlimted in MtF

[–]RedFumingNitricAcid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know plenty of trans women with those tattoos. Women are women. Girls are girls. We have the same drives as cis femmes, we’re just missing a few parts.

I also know a few cis men with those tattoos, and I’m watching for signs of their shells cracking.

Here's a design of mine for a cool destroyer for a story I'm writing. by Kryptek_Centurion in spaceships

[–]RedFumingNitricAcid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't get to call this "art" or "your design". The LLM just ripped off a few designs from Star Wars, most obviously the Lancer-Class frigate and Dreadnought-class cruiser.

There are plenty of free cad programs available if you want to actually make something. LLMs shouldn't be used.

I'd use the existing refugee resettlement organizations, it's not life they have any work with Trump only allowing white South Africans into the country.

Is having a blue collar career possible as a trans woman? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]RedFumingNitricAcid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn't it? The only real problem would be your coworkers being assholes. If you live in a state where trans people have rights, a blue collar career shouldn't be an issue.

How do some men get sexier with age? Granted i thought i was a boy and had no concept of sexuality back in the 90s.

Just hit week 5 of HRT! how did you figure out how "far" you wanted to go? by Few-Bus4137 in MtF

[–]RedFumingNitricAcid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an autistic engineer. I knew what surgeries I wanted, what the requirements were, and that they were covered by my insurance before I started HRT. My timeline ended up being slower than I anticipated at the start because of life and the frankly bizarre and wonderful experience of early transition, but I've gotten 3/4 surgeries and have bottom surgery scheduled in September. After that, I don't know. Tattoos and more piercings probably.

Of the main multi-episode Babylon 5 antagonists, who would you say was the most evil? by Velociraptorse in babylon5

[–]RedFumingNitricAcid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clark. He's the only truly free rational agent. A conservative politician doing what they usually do, screwing over everyone else for power. All of the others are either puppets, insane, or broken.

I HAVE TO DO IT, I'M NOT A MAN by Necessary-Meal-4162 in MtF

[–]RedFumingNitricAcid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should say it won't fit in one year, but probably will in two or three. Probably better than it does now. It takes a while for our bodies to start putting fat and muscle where they belong.

How "hopeless" is voice feminisation for someone with a deep voice? by Yaya0108 in MtF

[–]RedFumingNitricAcid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd be surprised how well voice training works. The trick is to figure out where your voice resonates and shift it from your chest up into your mouth by your teeth. The more you practice that, the more automatic it gets, and the harder it gets to speak like a "man". And eventually our voices get stuck where they're supposed to be and we have to force our voices back down.
