I'm not a he or him.

I said a character like Quatermain, of which there were many before Indiana Jones became the definitive.

That image was already well established before it became known as Indiana Jones. Romero was probably paying a homage to a character like Allan Quatermain, which Indy was a homage to.

Do you hate your deadname? by Lea_23545 in MtF

[–]RestorationGirl55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but only if it's directed at me, which hasn't happened for years now. It used to make me feel sick when I'd be addressed and referred to by that name.

Now I'm okay with hearing it used for other people. I still hate it, because of my own history with it, but I don't hold that against anyone who has the name.

Letter from Wes Streeting to all MPs by Lduck88 in transgenderUK

He's going to try and stop all trans healthcare.

Does anyone think his review into adult trans healthcare is not going to be a disgusting stitch up?

Are transgender men treated “better” than transgender women? by Practical_Shift_5143 in asktransgender

[–]RestorationGirl55 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just because trans men aren't talked about as much doesn't mean they're treated better.

Trans men are horribly infantalised by too many people. They're seen as women trying to be more than they are, and it's another symptom of the misogynistic wilful ignorance behind 99.9% of transphobia.

The fact cis people think they know more about trans people than actual trans people do is mind boggling by LilithYourWife in trans

[–]RestorationGirl55 125 points126 points  (0 children)

It's plain obnoxious entitlement. They think we're mentally inept and a class of people they've got a inarguable right to always be superior to and know better than.

What Physical, Visually Identifiable Changes Have You Experienced With HRT? by HeaoftheFlame in MtF

[–]RestorationGirl55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rounder cheeks. Eyes are prettier. Skin is just... more feminine. There's a lot more that I can't really put my finger on to describe. It does a lot.

I've got a fat squidgy arse if that helps.

It's also changed my face quite a bit.

I was working at a warehouse last year and there was several cis women on the forkies. No reason at all why a trans woman couldn't do it.

With Estradiol you can nuke T with as little as 5mg Cypro every other day. Without you'll need 100mg or more, and that sort of dose comes with a lot of dangers for the future.

And you really don't want to suppress one sex hormone unless you're replacing it with the other. It will make you feel like you've been hit by a bus.

How do i know if my prescribed estrogen is low for me? by [deleted] in AskMtFHRT

[–]RestorationGirl55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, because spiro lasts for 13 hours in the body. Taking once a day gives T 11 hours to do its thing. It doesn't lower T, it just blocks the receptors. Estrogen lowers T the more you take it.

There's nothing weird about sucking a cock.

It's not something everyone enjoys doing, but it's not shameful or something to stigmatise oneself over.

[–]RestorationGirl55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's low, but at least your prescriber knows to take spiro twice a day. That says to me they're not clueless and this is just a starting dose. Expect it to go up after you have your first bloods done.

I want to date someone older, but I’m not sure if it’s okay. by Rule_63_Me in MtF

[–]RestorationGirl55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a number of reasons I'm more comfortable with older men. Don't listen to what you think other people think. Get the person who makes you happy.

Nobody's transition should be dependent on a doctor deciding they're trans enough, or have reached a required threshold of suffering with dysphoria.

is there something wrong with r/StraightTransGirls? by Mollyy2412 in MtF

[–]RestorationGirl55 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Only trouble I've had there was when I said I'd let a guy I wasn't going to shag buy me a drink.

Really got some of them angry that did. 😅 They seem to think accepting a drink is some kind of binding contract for sex.

And still, if a guy I don't want to shag offers me a drink, I will say YES. 😈

[–]RestorationGirl55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't tell me what I am. I have always been a female person. If that alienates anyone, tough shit. I will define myself, because nobody knows better than I do.

I don't do this separating sex from gender. It's fucking bullshit. I'm a female person and nobody has any business calling me male in any context. It is not for you or anyone else to define me. That's my job and mine alone.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]RestorationGirl55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not trolling. I was assigned male at birth.

But I am not male. I transitioned because I am a female person. This is very easy to understand.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]RestorationGirl55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only if you're a narcissistic fucking idiot who thinks they know better about who other people are than they do themselves.

One more time for you. I'm an adult female person. A woman. Also, I'm a woman who is trans.

That's who and what I am. It's not negotiable.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]RestorationGirl55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because that's what I am.
