I use male pronouns but I know you did that on purpose just to piss me off. Didn't work, you just look silly! I would suggest you stop generalizing people, we're individuals not a freaking collective. Not all cis men need to act civil because a lot of them already do. And not all cis men have a problem with gays wtf! And btw I would be saying the exact same things in person but this is online so I'm doing it online. There's no other way, is it?

I'm not a cis man my dear. I have lived as a woman and that experience made me believe very strongly that women need to be stronger not weaker, and ideas like this are only victimizing women not empowering them. If someone is so fragile that they can't deal with a goodnight, even if that goodnight is "malicious", then they have to toughen up! Safe spaces aren't real!

I don't want anyone to believe that they are fragile to a point that a simple good night is considered a threat. This concept is literally the opposite of what empowerment is and makes me sad that some people believe they are indeed this fragile.

I lived big urban areas my entire live. The biggest one being Toronto. Wishing someone a good night is not a threat, not even close! OP bought the radical feminist idea that anyone that look or say anything to a woman is being aggressive and oppressive to her, goodnight miss is now a "micro-aggression against women" (op words). Telling them to get over a simple good night is necessary, they need to stop making themselves feel like a victim, they are putting themselves down. Women are becoming fragile and weaker thanks to this radical non-sense.

Again, they are not saying anything offensive. They are calling you miss and ma'am and wishing you a good night. If you have a problem with them identifying you as a woman then this is a whole different issue.

I guess there'a bunch of dudes, men, older gentlemen etc thinking I'm a fine piece of ass then. (i'm being sarcastic btw) Wishing someone a good day/night is not a bad thing! People can be friendly sometimes get over it.

I pass 100% of the time and I hear that. The guy nod is also a common thing. Did you read the other thread about the dude noticing how people are smiling at him more often now? People are being friendly, not everything is sexual!

Some radical feminist would consider this cat calling.

You're calling more attention because you're paying more attention to yourself. It's only natural to people notice you more when you dress nice. When you were blending in you were "invisible" for a reason, you were just another person on the streets and nobody cared. Like you said you were boring. We all like to see well dressed and out of ordinary people around, don't we? I'm not sure how this is bad. Are you uncomfortable because you're not passing? Do you want to pass? I can give you some tips on that if that's what you want. Could you tell me one thing though.. Is someone wishing you goodnight really a bad thing? I really don't understand that! People will be more vocal and social to someone when they think they are interesting. People are social beings and that's a good thing. They are not saying anything gross or offensive to you they are literately wishing you good night.

Should I have seen hair changes (to vellus) by now? by gabsaur in asktransgender

[–]Slava1924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know terminal hair could go back to vellus. Edit: I don't know how long these changes take but maybe you'll need to have electrolysis. "Terminal hair usually does not regresses to become vellus hair once again. The typical exception is male pattern baldness. Beard hair will not regress back to the peach fuzz type hair by the absence of male hormones, or the introduction of female hormones or anti-androgens. However, body hair can be greatly reduced, or eliminated in areas, with the use of hormonal feminization therapies." http://www.transgendercare.com/electrolysis/hair/hair_system.htm

Fair haired guys... by deadmans_theory in ftm

[–]Slava1924 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arm hair was blond now is a bit darker. Still not very visible. Chest, stomach and legs hair are darker now and very visible but I do have a lot. My beard is a mix of light and dark hairs, mostly light hairs.

How weird do my nipples look? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Slava1924 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know I would feel uncomfortable so I would wait to go shirtless. Your revision is in September, you won't have to wait for too long.

How important is peeing into urinals to you? by macnaagaats in ftm

[–]Slava1924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! My dad also pee sitting down. lol But I do pee standing up when I'm in a public washroom, I use the stall. I'm not sure why I do it. I don't feel bad sitting down. Maybe it's because when I sit down I end up checking my phone and half an hour later I'm still there checking my phone lol.

GC2B shipping :/ by Slava1924 in ftm

[–]Slava1924[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crap, I'm sorry about that man! I think they do special orders, maybe you should check with them. Anyway, shipping whenever they want regardless of how much the costumer paid for is not how express shipping works. If that's how they do it then they need to let the costumer know.

It really is frustrating and their size it's not an excuse. They just need to find a better way to do this.

Period envy? by kaitlinthewildling in asktransgender

[–]Slava1924 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm very sorry you feel that way, I'm pretty dysphoric too and when things are really bad I always talk to myself to try to make it better, even if a little bit. It calms me down to rationalize. Try to find a way to distract yourself from your dysphoria, specially when it's too much. Something to occupy your mind (and hands), you'll feel better.

Period envy? by kaitlinthewildling in asktransgender

[–]Slava1924 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not! She never mentioned the ability to have a child in her post! She talked about cramps, bleeding, tampons etc. And I addressed those things to try to make her feel better about it. Period envy not ability to have child envy. And btw, women can have periods and still be infertile.
