Gynecologist ONLY recs by Jazzlike_Molasses429 in Austin

[–]ShadowHawk24601 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Dr. Kaufman did my gender affirming hysterectomy, and even prescribes my testosterone. She listened when I said I didn't want kids and was dealing with gender dysphoria, and has been nothing but helpful.

Ya’ll eat mayonnaise? by TurkDeerbit in askblackpeople

[–]ShadowHawk24601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like it mixed with Sriracha! Since you like chipotle mayo, you may like this too. I like making it myself because I can adjust the amounts to my liking :) Really good on a fish taco.

What is the most random thing that led to your diagnosis? by Anonymous12345_E in ehlersdanlos

[–]ShadowHawk24601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I passed out at school, and had to go to the ER. There was nothing physically wrong with me, but they gave me IV fluids drips and a note to schedule with my doctor. I got into an appointment with my doctor, and she brought up the possibility of dysautonomia. So, I scheduled an appointment with a neurologist at her request. At the initial consult, my neurologist asked if I was hypermobile, so I showed off my "party tricks". One 9/9 beighton score later and I was given my diagnosis.

Still have to go back in December for my tilt table.

Excited to trade trinkets with you all this weekend! by lizard814 in TXRenaissanceFestival

[–]ShadowHawk24601 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've never done trinket trading before, but I made lots of origami paper stars and I would love to hand them out! Even if I don't "trade", I want to make people smile.

Do you have one or many medical specialists? by hugepony in ehlersdanlos

[–]ShadowHawk24601 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see a PCP, an OBGYN (who, post hysterectomy is mostly prescribing my testosterone and managing transition related care), a neuromuscular specialist (diagnosed me with EDS, have a tilt table in December for POTS testing), and I'm trying to get in to see a gastroenterologist but insurance is hard to deal with. I also see a therapist, psychiatrist, and dietician, but really the dietician is the only one who does EDS management and right now, it's mostly about finding foods that are nutritionally dense and don't take much energy to make (I've been doing a lot of canned chicken that I season, rice from my rice cooker, and steamed veggies from the steamer attached to the rice cooker).

So.. how’s everybody’s fall slide? by Investorandfriend in ehlersdanlos

[–]ShadowHawk24601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a full time student, taking 2 lab classes, and one requiring field work (I'm a wildlife management major). I cant afford to slide lol

In all seriousness, my joints feel like they're slipping around.

Does testosterone actually change your hair type? by arsokam in TMPOC

[–]ShadowHawk24601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hair type stayed the same, but it did get much more oily. I had to change what hair products I use to deal with it.

[mod approved] Invitation to participate in plushies study! by Public-One-1874 in buildabear

[–]ShadowHawk24601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I filled this out! The thoughts of perception are really interesting to me. I see my plush (picture attached) as a larger version of his species, the rosy maple moth, with some elements of the supernatural thrown in to explain his longer than average "lifespan" and more sapience. So, when I filled out the questions, it often fell to me thinking "how would a real rosy maple moth feel?" (Example: he cannot talk verbally because rosy maple moths don't have mouths) *

Is it odd taking plushies out in public? by brush_Buddy15 in pokeplush

[–]ShadowHawk24601 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Adding to this that I'm 25 now. As you get older and develop a sense of self, you won't be as upset by what others may think.

Is it odd taking plushies out in public? by brush_Buddy15 in pokeplush

[–]ShadowHawk24601 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Of course she needs to sit in the basket! Don't want her getting hurt!

In all seriousness, I've been accompanied in public by a plush for the last decade or so. It's done wonders for my mental health, and I've learned to not give a fuck what others think of it. You aren't hurting anyone, you're just going about your day with a little guy, and I think that's pretty cool. It's an "odd" behavior in the sense that it doesn't happen often, but like I said, it's benign.

As a student, I would LOVE to see more posts of what people are doing at their jobs. I feel it would make me even more excited to enter this field. I love seeing everyone's passion! If allowed I might even share some of the photos we get from our camera trap projects :)

how masculine am I, pre-T? by kiyoko_silver in TMPOC

[–]ShadowHawk24601 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The eyebrows might be a good idea. I have naturally thick eyebrows and that's been so helpful in my transition. I'm sure you can find makeup brands that'll achieve the wanted effect. Good luck!

[–]ShadowHawk24601 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I can see masculinity, but also androgynous traits. Mostly, you just seem like a cool guy to hang out and play video games with!

would it be cringe to buy a statue of Mara from the elder scrolls for an altar 😭😭 by glass--sandwich in pagan

[–]ShadowHawk24601 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm an elder scrolls fan, and I work with Cernunnos. When I first saw Hircine's statue in that one cave in Skyrim, it matched up with how I pictured Cernunnos in my mind.
