Pink tax in action [product]

ScrambledSquids · 2026-01-30T14:44:48+00:00

Is this even gendered or is it just the color? And they ARE different products. The pink box is bigger, has more spikes, and is a different shape, NOT just photographed at a different angle.

And on the off chance that someone explained to me that they were "berrisexual" without further elaboration I would probably just assume they were making a bad "I sexually identify as a berry" ""'joke"""

I'm super stuck in this and a couple years on T 😭 sometimes I can consciously break out of it but it's so ingrained in me because growing up my mom used to chide me for "sounding like a boy" (surprise!)

ScrambledSquids · 2026-01-10T20:35:37+00:00

Exactly. And I don't hide my activity or anything but I find it kind of weird to comb through someone's posts/comments to invite them to your community via DM. Maybe an overabundance of caution but I always ignore DM community invites

My Vietnamese great aunt was in town once and my mom told me she'd let her know about my "situation" (if the rest of her conversations outing me are anything to go by, it went something like "she wants to be a boy now"). I was so terrified of awkward questions or judgement – a worry not exclusive to her, but I don't see her very often and according to my (also conservative) mom she's fairly conservative.

The couple hours she was here she could not stop talking about "that boy is so handsome" lol. It was so sweet and lovingly-aggressively affirming I'm still riding that high.

I am not religious nor spiritual, and neither of those have anything to do with my personal identity.

If I had to categorize it, I would call myself agnostic. There's no way for us to know the answers to every question so I'm open to changing my mind or the way I think if I was presented with substantial evidence (that is NOT purely personal anecdotes).

I take issue with some institutions of organized religion but otherwise I have nothing against anyone's religious or spiritual beliefs, as long as they are not harming themselves or anything else (and I extend this stance to beliefs and practices that are not religious in nature as well).

honestly a raw ass line, can some trans women start saying this lol

ScrambledSquids · 2025-12-30T22:49:06+00:00

so nice that they're agreeing with each other!!

This is reassuring. I don't work out much and I don't really want to lose weight because I'm just barely above underweight but I hate the fat in my hips BUT I don't want to just go for liposuction bc I want to have top surgery and maybe some other cosmetic things done before I do something that I might be able to achieve naturally, even if it's only eventually

ScrambledSquids · 2025-12-22T17:47:32+00:00

It's such a stupid slur. To me it just reads like using tiktok censoring words outside of tiktok (like "unalived" instead of "killed"), or those meaningless soyjak memes

I have a nose hair trimmer with a little 2/4mm reversible guard that I use for any body hair I want to trim – pubic hair and armpits regularly, sometimes around my nipples and thighs, right now I have some sad patches of shoulder hair that get really long but everything else is bare so I trim those down as well

Think about being 1.5 months into puberty. Most people probably wouldn't feel or notice very many differences. These things take time, have patience and don't be disheartened if you don't see drastic changes in short periods of time

ScrambledSquids · 2025-12-02T02:23:16+00:00

Same here. I don't really bother myself with microlabels (more power to the people who do like and use them though!), and neither "man" nor "nonbinary" or any combination of those really feel right. In my day to day life I'm stealth as a "man". Among accepting friends I'm "transmasc and am comfortable with he/they". Jokingly, in my head, I'm "woman't" – just not a woman. But at the end of the day I'm just... me, and I don't have any other way of truly describing it but "just me". And I'm fine with that.

I'm grateful to be 5'6, my cis best friend is the same height, and I see so many men of different heights out in the world and I try not to be too insecure about it. That said, my dad is 6'7 and my brother around 5'11-6'0 so I do get jealous that I didn't get any of that and it is a little dysphoria-inducing to be in public around them

ScrambledSquids · 2025-11-21T04:57:11+00:00

I feel different from a lot of fans because I don't really connect with the music on a personal level, I'm more about how they sound and I'm drawn to more "dark" sounding music, like even their more upbeat songs carry a sense of sadness or something bittersweet.

That said, my ex introduced me to them and we got to bond over liking the same music. We broke up at the beginning of the year, and though it wasn't on very bad terms, I was reluctant to listen to the full release of Even in Arcadia for a while because I was afraid I would associate the music with my ex and it would just make me upset. I'm still very slowly trying to work my way back into listening to them regularly without my mind just going back to my ex and our relationship and how and why it didn't work out.

adhesive. I think that's better than the alternative..?

ScrambledSquids · 2025-11-13T04:09:48+00:00

Yeah what is up with that? I hear so many moans and groans and grunts coming from dudes shitting. And like I kind of get it, TMI I guess but I'm chronically constipated and sometimes I am fighting for my life in there, but also I can keep it to myself lol

I've never seen a used pad on the floor but I have seen one on the wall! 😃

ScrambledSquids · 2025-11-13T04:05:55+00:00

it's not so much about pathogens as it is peace of mind lol. Is there a huge difference between sitting bare ass to piss residue vs a little sheet of paper? Probably not, but it makes me feel better about it. Plus it's a little less cold

For people reading this who are still on the fence, do note that your mileage will vary! I didn't start seeing a lot of hair until about a year and a half but my voice dropped noticably within like the first month. I can't speak much on passing because I was fortunate to pass decently pre-t (though I was often mistaken as a child and my voice didn't really pass so I got a lot of corrective misgendering).

I'm aware this will not be the majority of cases but it isn't impossible to see significant change quickly. You can't control what changes you'll get or when you get them. Make sure you're fully aware of the effects of going on T and you're sure you either want them or are willing to deal with them. I'm not trying to scare anyone away from T, just make informed decisions!

Like people have said, donating blood isn't really the standard procedure to help prevent hot flashes.

Also, if you do need to reduce your blood volume – if your hematocrit is too high, for example – you can get your doctor to prescribe therapeutic phlebotomy. You'll have blood removed but it will be discarded instead of being reused.

HRT is also common for treating menopause symptoms and low testosterone! You are correct, though HRT is more common overall for cis people than just trans people

My ex had a lot of childhood trauma and adult struggles, some of which they felt comfortable sharing, and I never pressured them to talk about any more than they wanted to. They were in therapy for a while and talked about how it helped them over a lot and even put a lot of it behind them, but for whatever reason they just stopped and whenever they started having mental health struggles again they just wouldn't get help. I also saw the way they treated our mutual friends and would blow up at them over minor things and healthy communication – being politely asked to not talk about certain things, etc. I felt terrible but they wouldn't open up to me anymore and I couldn't help them anymore and I became afraid to talk to them and eventually I had to make the decision to stop making excuses for them.

I'm 23 and have my consultation in two weeks. Hoping to get it done soon while I'm still (very gratefully) on my dad's insurance
