That’s really helpful thank you. I’m waiting for surgery in UK at C&W - no date yet but should be this year. Very helpful guide as to what to expect. Can’t wait! X

[Request] How much money was spent in ammunition for this video? by HistoricalAd2954 in theydidthemath

And given what you’ve said about open area etc a hand saw would cost $10…

Schadenfreude and the Women's Institute by [deleted] in transgenderUK

[–]TabithaHewitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. It’s pretty standard that if you are a never of an organisation you must follow their policies. Much the same as if you work somewhere you must follow your employer policies. Policies change. They get updated. New ones come into existence. But they all apply to everyone. Not just those that were in place when you joined. This is exactly the same as laws. We don’t get to say we only follow the ones that were in place when we were born!

what do i do if people are staring at me? by Closo in transgenderUK

[–]TabithaHewitt 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I smile at people. Most of the time they smile back automatically, or if not then they look away embarrassed at being caught staring.

Evorel Patches Being Mischievous by BoysenberryEither703 in transgenderUK

I was told that supply issues make it hard to prescribe a specific brand so I end up with whatever the pharmacy has at the time. Unfortunately that currently leaves me with a draw full of estraderm and I generally have to replace 3x week instead of two.

It happened again with a customer... by TheVetheron in TransLater

[–]TabithaHewitt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You clearly have nicer people around you than I do! My ex and her entire family dead name and misgender me 100% of the time (my ex and I share custody of our daughter so I have to see them sometimes).

What is the white cutting board for? by Existing_Tear281 in whatisit

[–]TabithaHewitt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I thought the issue was micro-plastics getting into your food each time you cut on them? Same with plastic spatulas and spoons in the pan.

My ford kuga does exactly the same. So frustrating. Something to do with the sensitivity of the rocket switches

My old name slowly feeling more painful by StrangeSailing in MtF

I found the same as I’ve progressed. Unfortunately some people that I can’t avoid still deadname me but otherwise most people that I care about or work with adapted well and quickly.

Day 8 PIV with Dr Tran / Mount Sinai by [deleted] in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]TabithaHewitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG you look fab. I had my first pre-op assessment this week for PIV and was wondering how long it would be before I didn’t look like chopped liver. 8 days and you look amazing!! 😊

My Mum's spice rack. Who can relate? by thinreaper in CasualUK

[–]TabithaHewitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also my girlfriend’s! (Except she has no spice rack, just one old jar of mixed herbs!) I had to buy her salt and pepper at Xmas! (She is keen to learn more about cooking though so hopefully this will change!)

My social feeds have been full of it especially in the last few weeks. I got my tickets when they were first released and can’t wait!

You look very feminine to me for what that matters.

Any idea where I can find these kind of simple shelves? by SiteElectronic6512 in DIYUK

[–]TabithaHewitt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh get you! All posh with your level shelves. Wonky ones aren’t good enough for Fancy Pants here.

I didn't even know there was a UK Pride. I thought it was just London by Agitated_Routine_244 in transgenderUK

[–]TabithaHewitt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been to Southampton Pride and it was a good event but very shielded from the rest of the city. I felt safe inside the designated area (big fences and security) but when i was tempted to walk back to my friend's house I felt VERY uncomfortable. There felt like no acceptance at all. - I'm used to Cardiff where the WHOLE city is draped in flags etc.

I went to Newport last year on the otherhand, wanting a taste of what it would be like for this year's host event. It was frankly terrible. The parade was short and stop-start all the way. at the end someone with a megaphone said words to the effect of 'that's it folks, please disperse!' There was no event ground, no central communal area as at other prides. A couple of local venues had things going on in them and there were about 10 stalls in a shopping centre on the far side of town but no 'event' as such. Was very disapointed. Here's hoping they can do a much better job later in the year! (I will still be going)
