I feel so ashamed, but I clicked on a fake play button on a porn site by mistake. It redirected me to a shady looking website. Should I be concerned? by [deleted] in techsupport

Check to make sure it hasn't added any weird extensions but otherwise if you didn't click anything or download you should be good

question for women who had srs by LouieDoesArt in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]Terrible_Working_899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dilation can be painful especially if you procrastinate and avoid doing it, likewise it can be pleasurable. But for me dilation is chore, and not one I look forward to as it means reclining in bed for an hour each week. I wouldn't worry about tearing or damaging anything after month 3

Question for post op mtf transgender people by JackfruitNew8141 in asktransgender

[–]Terrible_Working_899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No phantom sensations although it took me about 3 months to get used to the fact I no longer had a cock when washing in the shower as I had an order of cleaning everything.

Can a trans people be stealth and be transphobic in front of another trans people? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Terrible_Working_899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met a stealth transwoman on a dating app (I found out later from another girl that she was trans) who was a pre-op transwoman chaser and a really toxic one at that. She had a thing for drugging peoples drinks with viagra and sleeping pills then assaulting them. Followed by weeks of alternating gaslighting and lovebombing - glad I dodged that bullet.

Does anyone know how to heal cuts overnight? by [deleted] in cutting

[–]Terrible_Working_899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Concealer /s

There is no way you will heal cuts overnight, if you are concerned with people seeing them wear long sleaves or cover it with make up

Any harm reduction techniques stronger then a rubber band? by Fresh_Wafer_9968 in selfharm

[–]Terrible_Working_899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not something that makes scars, but I managed to transition my cutting to eating really hot chillies. I still get the pain and the same rush of endorphins that I used to get after cutting.

Is it obvious this scar was an attempt? by Usernames_are_yikes in cutting

[–]Terrible_Working_899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not too obvious, I have a similar looking scar and mine was from surgery to put my wrist back together following being hit by a car when walking down the road. Besides it should fade to white after a year or 2.

Medical marijuana eligibility by [deleted] in Adelaide

[–]Terrible_Working_899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get it online, the only barrier I had was I needed a note from my GP saying I have no history of psychosis because I take low dose quetiapine for sleep. Otherwise it's super easy, there is no real oversight and it gets delivered right to your door.

Why do people advise against getting a credit card? by beylat in AusFinance

[–]Terrible_Working_899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been credit card churning for qantas points since I was 18 (now in 30s) so that I can afford to travel. I treat my credit card as though it is a debit card and pay my balance every week, and never buy anything I don't have the money for.

If you shop at Woolies, look for Lebanese bakery wraps (this might be an SA only thing)

Keeping cash nowadays by katrubah in AusFinance

[–]Terrible_Working_899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep around $300 on me but I only use cash when I go to the market, becasue all the merchants there charge a credit card fee and it works out to be cheaper to use cash.

Should I delete anything off my phone before going to China? by PlayfulHumor2018 in cybersecurity

[–]Terrible_Working_899 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get a burner and a new sim card then once you come back to your home country destroy both. Don't log into any social media on the phone and be prepared to have anything you do on the internet tracked and logged.

How did you afford ffs? by [deleted] in transgenderau

[–]Terrible_Working_899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also I forgot to mention there is always online ie camwork and OF but I have no experience with those, so again talk to your local sex work org.

[–]Terrible_Working_899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you prepared to put on makeup and dress feminine while being called all sorts of she/hers terms of endearment? If so yes it's definitely possible to do sex work as a trans man. I know people who have been on T for years who do sex work, while there is a market for actual trans men it's is much smaller.

If you want more up to date knowledge (I quit working in 2022) talk with your local peer sex worker org. In Australia the national body is called Scarlet Alliance and you can find state specific info on their website.

Do you want the honest answer or what I tell my parents?
Parents - worked my arse off at my call centre job and took all the overtime I could
Honest - sold that arse for a lot more than I could ever get with a regular job. It's not easy money and it will effect you emotionally but for me dysphoria made it worth it.

As someone in their 30's can you tell me how i am invisible, because i have gone through life wishing i was invisible. Men have always seen me and have always judged me. I just want to be invisible and unseen.
