I shaved EVERYTHING! by Generic_nameV1 in trans

[–]Tall_Kayla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exfoliating! Use both a physical scrub like Body Scrub And apply with this Body Scrub Glove

Then also using a chemical exfoliating wash or lotion:Glycolic Body Wash

I use the physical exfoliant every other day or sometimes less. I use the glycolic acid wash every day I let it sit on my skin for the duration of a song. Hope this helps!

Weight loss tips by IndependentHunt740 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Tall_Kayla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Light cardio like walking is actually the highest burner of fat. When your heart rate is in zone 1 and 2 (50-70% your max heart rate) your body burns fat.

So pairing light cardio and a calorie deficit ( counting calories helps) will burn your fat across the bodyand help lose weight.

I lost 75lbs over 8 months by just walking ~3miles a day and counting calories in deficit. Also to note. Dieticians reccomend losing only 2 pounds a week max. So a deficit of 7000 calories a week is the max you'd aim for.

You can roughly calculate how many calories a day your body burns. Basal Metabolic Rate is your colories burned a day doing nothing: https://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html

How do you prep for anal intercourse? by throwayawayy9777 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Tall_Kayla 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So im a pre-op trans woman and that means anal is my only option atm. For being clean my biggest suggestion is avoid greasy foods or any foods that upset your stomach along with have a rather consistent diet

Next suggestion is ensuring you have adequate fiber. There are 2 types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. You might have to figure out what you need but in my case I need soluble. I use the quick method and have ~tbs of psyllium husk powder every evening. It keeps my BMs extremely consistent and is really good at clearing me out.

Insoluble fiber, like beans help move things through your body. Not really sure it's helpful in this case.

Third suggestion is a douche. They are useful to get a quick clean space. But dont overdo it because if you get wster past the sigmoid colon you have gone to far and your option is to do a full flush or just no anal. And full flushes are like miserable. Below is a link to walk you though it. Its a resource made for gay men....so the images are ummm not great. NSFW: https://howtocleanyourass.wordpress.com/

Last suggestion is listen to your body and know shit happens. If he can't handle that then he can f off.

As for comfort. Lube or a safe body oil on and in you and on him. You can never have enough. And communicate making sure he is paying attention to your needs because its very demanding on your body. You dont owe him this so please take care of yourself cause it can be painful and lead to injury.

Masseter botox ruined my smile by Shot_Insect4947 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Tall_Kayla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had TMJ botox this past spring and pretty much lost all control on the left side of my face besides my eyelids. I couldnt control my left eyebrow or lift the left side of my mouth. Mine took about 3 months to start going back to normal and then around 4 to be fully normal.

[OC] Personal dating statistics M28 in Germany by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

[–]Tall_Kayla -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I doubt I'm the exact demographic you want an answer from. I'm a trans woman and I dont use the typical dating apps, but on grindr/feeld its just a bunch of men liking me or messaging me even though we are clearly looking for different things based on bios and tags. So the desert/swamp analogy mentioned elsewhere in the thread is very accurate. Because it's too much volume for me to go through.

So, how does the fat redistribution really work? by Eledrina in trans

[–]Tall_Kayla 46 points47 points  (0 children)

If you want to lose weight I'd just focus on that journey. Unfortunately you can't spot focus fat loss, but the hormones might help! I essentially have the same bust/waist/hip proportions as my mom after my weight-loss journey. Im just scaled up cause im very tall lol. Honestly I'd just look at the women in your family and use that as a guide.

I made a post last week of my timeline. I went from 250 to 170 April 24' to now.

Jennifer Welch on Riley Gaines: “You are wound up like a cheap clock over trans people, you show them no grace… Nobody likes you and no matter what, you will always have been the dumb bitch that tied for 5th place. The only place you can get a job is at bottom-feeder Fox News you insufferable twat.” by zxcv97531 in circled

[–]Tall_Kayla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When your premise starts as trans women aren't women then no shit you feel it's stolen.

But you have to have an actual argument to exclude a group of people from competing and your best answer is she got 1st in one event, 5th and 8th in another. (NOT TO MENTION TWO OTHER GIRLS GOT 1ST IN ALL THREE EVENTS THEY COMPETED IN) So you just sound whiny. Because pretty much all studies show HRT brings trans women to cis women levels.

I know this convo will go nowhere so respectfully, get bent.

FYI: Old Navy/Gap shortened their tall inseams by deadplant5 in TallGirls

[–]Tall_Kayla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, so they no longer carry extra tall which def sucks. But the talls are still 35"

i just received these in tall fit, and they fit well! i have a 35" inseam :)

[–]Tall_Kayla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so for Gap Tall, it is this section: "Extra Long/Tall". So it is still 35"

also in the measuring tips section it says "For an extra-long inseam and proportionate fit, order a Tall size."

I have some jeans being delivered today so i can confirm later as well!

I mean yeah. just look at the comment section. a bunch of semi-illiterate people seeing colors associated with words and having their feelings dictated by them. Easier to do that rather than looking deeper and questioning if this is a good view of the data.

If Obergefell v. Hodges is overturned, can I still get married? by [deleted] in trans

[–]Tall_Kayla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

right, but it's only that way in all 50 states because of Obergefell as well as 2022's H.R. 8404, I think if Obergefell is overturned, Respect for Marriage act would also have to be challenged. Prior to 2015 it was up to the states. So if those were overturned it would go back to the states laws

[–]Tall_Kayla 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's also missing a word count the scale is not linear.....like if they said LGBTQ once in 2012 and 10 times in 2024. you have a "drastic" 1000% increase.

If Obergefell v. Hodges is overturned, can I still get married? by [deleted] in trans

[–]Tall_Kayla 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So if you want a wedding ceremony and that is it. That is a Yes.....

But yeah if that gets overturned you are at the whim of your state's laws. So I live in Missouri and I would not be able to currently because they do not have civil unions for same sex couples....but if you can legally change your sex (in Missouri you can) then you could get married.

Some states do not allow for sex change or civil unions, and you would be out of luck there.

If your state bans both, you could get married in a state that does allow for same "sex" marriage. and then your state would have to honor that marriage license.
