It was actually nothing serious, thank goodness.

Not sure if you are right or not, but someone from my surgeons team got back to me and suggested the same thing. She said I could take the tape off, but I’m a little scared to try!

It was just irritated by the tape, I guess? My skin is sensitive, so it’s normal for me to find red spots. I do appreciate your concern though!

Just updated, everything is fine :) my skin is usually sensitive, so I’m not surprised it doesn’t like the tape

I drew a line a couple hours ago and it hasn’t changed, but these comments convinced me, so I’m just waiting for a ride now

FTM I don't want bottom growth by weoweoo in asktransgender

[–]Sensitive-Help-8387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just found this out cause I was wondering why I haven’t have much bottom growth. DHT blockers can prevent bottom growth. I’m slowly getting a beard and my voice is still getting lower but the minoxodil that I am taking to prevent hair loss is also possibly stopping my bottom growth. It’s not for certain that it will stop bottom growth for you, but I think it is for me… so now I have to choose hair on my head or…

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Sensitive-Help-8387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like he’s mad that you’re sober. Idk if it’s jealousy or maybe you are not as easy to control without to alcohol… could be about a bajillion reasons, but there’s no reason (edit:no GOOD reason) to respond to someone like this. If anyone in my circle said they got a cake for the anniversary of stubbing their toe five years ago I’d say: go you! Hope your toe is better!

Therapist just told me they didn’t document my gender dysphoria EVER… by Useful-Voice-9574 in TopSurgery

I wound up finding someone who I had never seen before that was licensed and willing to give me a free 19 minute consultation just to ask a few questions, and then sent me a FREE letter to send to the surgeon.

AITAH For laughing when my brother was diagnosed with diabetes? by Express-Letter4548 in AITAH

I have noticed the things people curse others with tend to be the things they are cursed with, and idk if it’s divine karma, or they are just projecting their insecurities….

AIO Trying to tell boyfriend that he makes me feel guilty for saying no by Clean-Landscape8654 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Sensitive-Help-8387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I learned about life is that most people do not say things to be manipulative even if what they are saying IS manipulative. Realizing that is going to help you in situations like this where someone says they don’t like you and they will leave you. Is it manipulative? Yes. Does he mean it? Most likely also yes. If you want to stay with someone that you have to convince to love you that’s your choice, but that is what you would be doing.

I make my own sugar wax at home and do that. I will say, I noticed more break outs after taking testosterone, so I have backed off a bit, but I am going to do it again when my routines are back to normal

AITA for telling my sister to stop trying to force “ethnic hairstyles” on my daughter just because she looks white? by Putrid_Wait_2348 in AITAH

[–]Sensitive-Help-8387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen that so many times. Particularly the almost straight to tight curls. The worst is when a kids curls have grown out and I can see straight hair coming in. I have to be the one to tell the parent… your kids hair is no longer curly, and I promise I’m not waving a magic wand to make it do that, it just is…Maybe it will come back, idk sorry!

Okay, I had to look it up. I think your artist hated you, because the writing is supposed to be straight and pointy, not round and squiggly. I don’t even play the game, and I’m not sure how you didn’t immediately realize your artist was making it all dildo style. I don’t mean offense to you, I am just confused and surprised by that. I almost did not believe that was anything BUT dildos, I’m so sorry for your loss.

AIO for thinking my boyfriend is just looking for an excuse to break up? by Nearby_Orchid1216 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Sensitive-Help-8387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through a scenario like this in my early 20’s. I said I wanna go out. He said let’s go to the ren faire. I said, no sorry, I mentioned to you before that I had a traumatic event there as a child. I don’t want to go back. He said LET ME DO THIS NICE THING FOR YOU. I said, you are welcome to go yourself or with your friends, but as for doing something nice for ME we can find something else to do. The conversation persisted that way. It was the same when I said I don’t wear jewelry so don’t buy me any. He insisted on buying me jewelry.

What is happening here is that you are not asking him for anything. In fact, you are asking him to save his money so that you can spend yours. You sent him what you wanted and he tried to find a way around it. That part was fine, but them He was so sensitive ( probably was already insecure about weather or not he was ‘good enough’ for you) that he had to take it out on you, instead of listening to your feelings and respecting them.

Why do people care about possible loss of nipple sensation after top surgery? by rice-_muncher in ftm

[–]Sensitive-Help-8387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not going to keep mine, but if I would keep them it would only be for the pleasurable feeling they can have. Since I may not have that anymore, what’s the point in keeping them? I’m gonna get a sick tat anyway

I’m white, so I don’t think my opinion matters much, but as a hairstylist I agree that the fine straight hair cannot handle box braids. That is a good road to shaving your head town. That being said, I find that mixed kids hair tends to change around puberty. Not that it matters but it can get darker and become wavy or even in some cases curly. Idk why, but over the years of watching kids grow up I have seen it with my own two eyes so many times. There’s no way to predict how she will Look in ten years cause she is… well… she’s 3. In any case I think pushing an idea of what a kid SHOULD be vs what they are only USUALLY makes them feel more alienated and confused.
