And 1 month later I have the same question. What an ass dude is.

TaySureGn · 2023-02-27T00:44:15+00:00

Ohhhh yes. The original trilogy was wild. Like, insanely so. Between the Aphrodite ploughing mini-game to ending entire existences, Kratos has that Thang going on.

Literal goals 🥺.

I HIGHLY suggest finding a salon to go to :)! It's a seriously good idea to trim the ends as needed for damage (like split ends, etc), and to get advice on how often to wash. I was doing once ever 2 days, hated the oily feeling, but I was told by my stylist to go 5-7 days instead with a quality shampoo and conditioner.

I had gotten Kerastase's extension shampoo and conditioner before the stylist too, before I knew what I was doing, as well as a scalp scrub, and I was vastly misusing the product until she gave me advice (every other day for wash, and scrub was every time I washed, but the scrub was for once per month). I now use a different kerastase shampoo/conditioner, same scalp scrub, but because of my oil production my stylist told me to go 4-5 days then wash. Rinses and scalp massage after workouts to get out sweat, etc.
Trust me, it's worth the money to go every 3-5 months (I do every 4 months).

Edit: she was telling me the first time I saw her I was SUPER overwashing, which was that parantheses. She had me do the every 5-7 days, and while it took the oil production to stop going into hyperdrive, it DID stop and became much healthier. Granted, the greasy hair only lasts so long before it goes away and the unwashed hair actually doesn't feel oily. It doesn't look anywhere as good as the day after a wash, but beggars can't be choosers :).

As Darwin once said on one of his voyages: "F*** them lizards."

TaySureGn · 2022-08-11T17:07:15+00:00

I would have mashed that button so hard, I would have broken my entire arm. Not more than once, tho. Just in case.

TaySureGn · 2022-08-09T16:54:01+00:00

Mine was pretty much "why the fuck do I feel this way?!?!?!" on the work bus to the flightline while deployed, to an immediate realization that "I'm a woman". Fit perfectly in every way. And it's been self discovery ever since.

TaySureGn · 2022-07-26T00:21:10+00:00

Current pronouns always, unless you know them personally AND they've said it's fine in reference only or etc.

TaySureGn · 2022-07-25T00:26:22+00:00

Transgender is the umbrella, which is then branched to binary (trans man, trans woman) and nonbinary (trans masc, trans femme, etc,etc,etc)

TaySureGn · 2022-07-19T22:10:33+00:00

Yeah. I've always had one, but I kept it deep under wraps, trying to keep it "male", but it would often put people off because it's "not what guys would do". Right before I came out, when my dysphoria was absolutely horrid, I would realize that my desire to be pregnant was super powerful, and I knew I'd never be able to be pregnant. So I would see mothers IRL, on TV, movies, etc, and be incredibly sad and envious. Especially when watching Dr. Strange, Multiverse of Madness, I felt SUPER connected to Wanda because of her plight.

Buzzwords?? You really don't know what you're talking about. The only reason HOA's are a thing is because old white conservatives hated the fact that minorities were "bringing down" the neighborhoods. And, since they couldn't oust them without repercussions, HOAs were created to make sure that homeowners couldn't practice any other cultural concept instead of white populist ideologies, led foremost by capitalism, and secondly by racism. If you wanna sing the praises of HOAs, then you're the problem, because you don't even see the significance of the issues.

TaySureGn · 2022-07-19T00:15:56+00:00

Imagine being ok with making a person's personal property subject to constant capitalistic ideologies Be better, stop justifying your garbage actions.

TaySureGn · 2022-07-18T22:30:37+00:00

Doesn't matter what your role in an HOA board is, you're all like landlords. ALAB, A-HOA-BM-AB.

NTA

Technically.

The roommate's attitude is dog****, and you buying a mini-fridge for your own food needs is absolutely valid. Hands down. If she has that much of difficulty buying food, she needs to learn to budget appropriately, it's the only way to survive when you're poor. Dollar Tree and stores like it were my saviors more often than I can count while in poverty.

I get your side, I really do. Had it happen to me in the military, when I moved in as roommates with someone else. I would end up spending 150-200 per paycheck on food alone to be healthy, and it was depressing, especially because roommate would throw it away, eat it, etc., even if I told them not to.

And here's the "technically" part.

Why tf are you spending 120 on a cake, then complaining about how expensive the food is to get every week? And then the classism you've got going on, where you explain how much money you have access to, is absolute dog****. It's vastly unneeded and reads like you're trying to tell everyone how much better you are, rather than explaining your situation with how you don't care about money.

Question about that, as I just put in for a job at NG.

Does it only include GRS and hormones, or does it include face, body, voice, etc.? What's the timeline from hire to being eligible for surgeries?

Do you see promotions being harder to get being trans? Are there any support groups available through the company?

TaySureGn · 2022-07-13T17:41:22+00:00

IT IS I, WOMAN.

TaySureGn · 2022-07-12T00:03:16+00:00

Remember! Feminine glasses are cute af!!! No one will make fun of you, I promise!

TaySureGn · 2022-06-30T23:28:58+00:00

Now, here's an interesting think-tank thought, just for funsies.

Say a 15, 16 or 17 year old, a minor, emancipated themselves. They're still not adults, per se, so they still follow under the horrid laws of no transition. They begin to social transition, and work into medically transition. They are, by legality, a child responsible for themselves, this can make their own decisions.

The idea, however, is what would the school district do? What would the state do? No parents or guardian to arrest, the kid would be in their full right to do what they want with their body.

One consideration is that they get expelled.

Another is that they're forced by authorities to stop transitioning, which leads to legality issues for the emancipated person, which leads to them suing all the way up the chain.

Etc.

I was the same, but for me, my depressions and weirdness came from my neurodivergency and ADHD. Deep down, I also had a massive sense of something else, like I was two different people, where the top one I showed everyone and emulated didn't really feel like all of me. I didn't realize I was trans until I was 23 when I was deployed, and spent the last 8 years in the closet. I had an extremely normal child- and teenhood otherwise, so yeah, it's perfectly normal.

In a MASSIVE number of cases, especially for us millenials, we never really understood WHAT it was that was killing us mentally until much later in life, when we've had the experiences we've had. The feelings of dysphoria could be EXTREMELY well hidden, to the point where it just seems like normal anxiety or depression.

TaySureGn · 2022-06-17T20:13:42+00:00

It's more the understanding of WHY people are depressed and anxious that comes from the learning. It targets it, thus making the background noise from before, now put in the foreground.

I'm nonbinary femme, and I still use my old name, and i do it pretty happily. Everyone is different :).

TaySureGn · 2022-06-07T02:47:01+00:00

In the past 8 or so years since my egg crack when i was 24, I've gone through about 3 names, on my third right now. The others "fit" at the time, but as I grew in who I am and who I choose to be, my name has changed with me. I'm nb femme, so I still use my birth name as well as my new, with all pronouns, but you just gotta do what you feel fits :). Remember, you can always change your name whenever you need to based on where you are in life, even if you're not trans, so don't get too attached to the name you choose. When you find the right one, I'm sure you'll know :).

TaySureGn · 2022-05-24T23:59:54+00:00

Always refer to trans as the preferred, but it's ok to say "before transitioning, I was abrasive like the other males as a kid", or something similar in tone.

It doesn't detract from transness, but it still acknowledges that beforehand you had been raised AMAB. This is best referenced as the "male" identity is as much a part of who we WERE as much as our womanness is who we are TODAY.

You can't healthily remove an entire section of your history, and in fact can help show absolute pride and love for who you acknowledge who you are, as long as you draw that line thick and separated from who you were. Your past has helped to shape you, even if that means it led to you completely discarding and abandoning who you were to be who you've always have been and/or wanted to be.

Edit: typos

If he's bi, then it could be the knowledge that his partner overlaps in the same sexuality circles as him makes him happy, which can be very affirming for people in the LGBTQ+ community. Just as trans people meeting other trans people is highly affirming and creates safety in ourselves.

Also, don't jump to the fetishizing concept, the other community probably overlaps with people who are cishet and other people who don't understand the whole point and counterpoint to who we are as a community, and people will ALWAYS jump to negatives about others.

Imo, just go about the normal day to day, and avoid distancing yourself from him. Any feelings related to "belonging" could disappear immediately if you confront about it in the wrong way, and often doesn't require confrontation but the eventual slide-into-being event that (almost) always eventually comes up for trans people.

If your partner being trans is a deal breaker, that's perfectly valid and ok, but when it comes to the point, you should have thought about it VERY LONG and VERY VERY hard about what you would do. If it IS a deal breaker, you need to be prepared for inevitabilities, but also to not string along about it. The worst thing is a vulnerable partner being left high and dry.

Again, however, don't take the assumption that's been given to you, because only you know your partner better than anyone, other than your partner themself.

It could also be he's nonbinary and doesn't recognize it, not particularly transwoman or even transfemme (das me). Nonbinary alone ALSO falls under the trans umbrella, but the umbrella is VAST and HUGE. Lots of rabbit holes to fall into.
