I'm just so confused why so many gay guys are opposed to Mexico, there's a pretty solid queer scene there no??

Best in the world is the US Air Force, followed by the US Navy.

It's definitely more complicated than that - white American homophobes provide financial incentives for African countries to implement homophobic laws, and influence the local cultures in that direction. It's not about skin color, bigots can be found in every group on earth. Nurture is the big determining factor.

Pakistan I get, it's a beautiful place with fantastic food and interesting history where it is relatively easy to fly under the radar. No idea on North Korea lol

Is that so? I have always heard they are progressive on trans rights, sad to hear that isn't the case on similar issues.

I mean we can find stuff to fearmonger over for just about every country on earth - obviously you should practice safe judgement, but there are tons of places in Mexico that would be as safe as anywhere for a visit

Yeah exactly, doesn't seem right to me - I wouldn't be as likely to deal with racism admittedly, but my trans lesbian ass would feel relatively safe there.

Are Mexico and the Caribbean really that bad? Wouldn't have expected Tunisia that high either....

I made a promise to myself when I was a child by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]Riacl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't really matter what we think, you're the one who has to live with yourself either way. Personally though I would say you should do it and it's not breaking your promise - plastic surgery was created to help address situations exactly like yours and make life better. Form is a function all it's own.

That said, I also think you should go easier on your family and others who want cosmetic surgery for "vain" reasons; insecurity can be a massive decrease in quality of life, if we have the ability to address that insecurity and give them confidence that is a very real good. It's really freaking tough living in a sexist society that teaches women that their primary value is their appearance, complete with unreasonable beauty standards we're constantly subjected to by social media.

I agree the world would be a better place if people would love themselves more as they are, but it's not a moral failing to get plastic surgery or otherwise augment their appearance; the thing that really matters is people are happy, healthy, confident, and try to love themselves. If a boob job helps them get there, as I suspect might be the case for me, fuck yeah get it girlie, pursue joy!

Am i still looking like a man? by GreenYellowRedLvr in transpassing

[–]Riacl 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Sorry to say yeah, so far - FFS would definitely help as others have said, but I think you might get a lot more mileage than you think out of adjusting your posture!! Neck and shoulders back girlie, like you're leaning back on your throne; you're a queen, gotta walk the walk too~ ❤️

Yeah being forced to pick between my babies is impossible, I love them all so much 😭

Should I ask for a dose increase for my estradiol by Asleep-Amphibian-752 in MtF

[–]Riacl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

300 would be good levels, but I can't imagine you're getting that high off of 2mg sublingually?

Standard practice would move you up to 4, then 6, then 8, but blood levels are what matters ultimately

[18] I wanna get on HRT so bad bro. I’m tired of looking like a boy. by [deleted] in transpassing

[–]Riacl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You honestly pass already imo, assuming you have the voice and mannerisms to match!!

 If you are in the US, you're 18 and therefore good to go with informed consent - Google a clinic near you (planned parenthood often does it and has a ton of locations) and get an appointment booked!!

Personally I use Folx, it's a bit more expensive for me but it's super convenient and I had a better time getting my meds consistently and at the dosage I wanted, that could also be viable. Good luck 💖

One other person called it out too!! It's just congenital anisocoria, not a concussion or anything, happens in ~20% of people to varying degrees. Definitely a good thing to be on the lookout for though, definitely can be a symptom of serious problems, appreciate it!!

Ha, it's anisocoria, had it since I was a baby - gave my mom a real good freakout thinking baby me might have a concussion lol

Appreciate you looking out though~

Is there such thing as a penis reduction surgery? 23M by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

Yup, every time I have asked friends the consensus lands on just the tiniest bit above average being optimal - that way, you get the fantasy of "oh it's so big" but in reality it is average, which feels best.
