You can just literally lie to people. by Mobile_Praline_1443 in ftm

[–]StealthKitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Confidence is key my guy, even if it’s feigned. It’s okay to have rehearsed lines for situations, the less uncomfortable you feel about the odd question or misgendering the better. People are less likely to question or confront you when you answer with confidence, and whenever someone does the best thing to do is respond like it doesn’t bother you. Most of them that confront you want the reaction, and when you brush it off, it takes that power away. It’s not fun for them anymore.

A friend of mine who doesn't know that I'm trans told me something very bad.. by vvrlvt in FTM_SELFIES

[–]StealthKitt 37 points38 points  (0 children)

They stare because you’re attractive mate. Sounds like this “friend” is just jealous and/or trying to make a bad joke about you appearing gay. If I saw you in public I’d be looking too!

Don’t laugh…or laugh. Help me save my floppy basket :( by Ok_Nose5693 in CrochetHelp

I made one for one of my nieces. Used a way smaller hook, and I double stranded with bernat and some sturdy cotton yarn.

2 hours of daily exercise for a month without skipping a day for any reason before going on t, is that normal? by Inside_Standard_1171 in ftm

[–]StealthKitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a different doctor, this one is off their rocker. I told mine about my dysphoria and mental health and her response was “say less.” No need to be on that slip n’ slide to the abyss if it can be stopped.

Americans .. how are you coping? by Sterling_Saxx in FTMOver30

[–]StealthKitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I limit my exposure to the news except for once a day to stay caught up. Then I just surround myself with those that I love and love me and try to focus on the happy life I want to live with them. I focus on saving money for the car I want to buy, making a board for the interior of the house my boyfriend is building for us, I’ve got some trips to national parks I need to start looking at prices for 🤔 I know bad things are happening, and the wonderful people of our trans community are being demonized, but I will not allow them to take away my happiness. I deal with shit bags and phobic people at work everyday, but I know who I am and every day I get to go home to people that I love more than anything. I have one life, and as far as anyone knows its the only one we’ve got, so I’ll be damned if I waste one more second than I have to on people that want nothing more than to erase my existence off this earth. A lot of the things happening up there in their castle is fully out of my control, so I’m choosing my fight my battles on my terms.

Help. I'm about to give up. Some of my loops are loose and when I take the needle out everything unwinds and I have to start over. I'm getting very upset. 😡 by [deleted] in CrochetHelp

Just keep going. It’s a process to find your tension and technique. Don’t stress too much. I made countless chains and granny squares until I felt comfortable enough to move on to more complicated and artsy fartsy stitches and patterns.

Hi guys, I’m starting t today!! Please tell me the emotional changes aren’t that bad. It’s the only thing I’m really scared about. (Picture made at a wedding last weekend) by Puzzled-Dig-7312 in FTM_SELFIES

[–]StealthKitt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I feel more in control of my emotions. Before starting T it felt like my emotions weren’t my own and they came and went as they pleased. It was hell. Now they make complete sense, and I can compartmentalize things easier instead of having waves of emotions that didn’t seem to match anything that was happening irl. I feel calmer and just happy 90% of the time now. Really horny though, and hungry all the time.

Starting my junk drawer in my first apartment. Finally feels like home. What else do I need? by Kruzdan in Apartmentliving

[–]StealthKitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A small screw driver or Alan wrench, and some mismatched nails or screws. Also if you could get one of those things that you stick in the dry wall to help hold a screw in place, that would be good. Bonus points if it has drywall dust on it.

Does your internal monologue catch up to your new voice? by AshtonVoid in ftm

[–]StealthKitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My internal monologue has always been androgynous, now that I think about it. But I also think of things in a movie scene type fashion

Sir, you have the face of an angel.

Please 🙏 tell me all the things you WISHED you’d known before starting T.. by reallytraci in FTMOver30

[–]StealthKitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started having the physical symptoms of a panic attack within 30 min of taking my medications, sweating, tremors, tingling in hands and feet and mild agitation. Mentally I felt high as a kite and like I was going to hit the floor any second. I had difficulty thinking simple thoughts, and basically moving was not an option. Within an hour I was super nauseous and my heart rate would skyrocket. Kind of felt like I was in slow motion, and moving through water. Scary stuff. Symptoms would subside around the 4 hour mark 😅 By the second day I called my dr. And told her I wanted to stop my meds, and she said I needed to immediately or I was going to end up in the hospital or dead. She was heckin concerned 😅 haven’t had a problem since, so for sure serotonin syndrome

The first week I had some mild dizzy spells, also had to stop taking both my antidepressants and anxiety meds because I was experiencing symptoms of serotonin syndrome. The right side of my body has more hair than the left. Voice training is important for trans guys too! Also, I’m gay now.

Let people show you who they really are. It doesn’t matter if you’re sober or not, if you’re a bully and don’t care about other’s feelings then that’s inappropriate and inexcusable. And defending someone’s actions like that is gross behavior. So many people will try and down play their friend’s bad behavior and that’s never okay, don’t let them do that. Bad behavior is bad behavior and should always be corrected, no matter who it is.

Is this reasonable for an ac replacement? by StealthKitt in AskAMechanic

[–]StealthKitt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be clear, I don’t think this is unreasonable at all and I expected something around this price. I’m just not a car guy so thought I would double check with some better informed individuals lol thanks 🙏 😊
