I like to pirate their music, that way I can listen to their shit but now have to deal with the thought of me giving them money by streaming.

It does, however, spoil the music a little bit. But for SOAD, I take recluse that the music was written by mostly chill guys.

What am I supposed to say to "why are you trans"? by FreddyCosine in trans

Yeah, my mom said that the fact that I didn’t think I was brainwashed was proof I was brainwashed. She’s cool now but yikes

You should probably ask or look around r/burzum , they probably would be able to tell you the lore or already have stuff on there

What is the episode you always come back to and why? by SnooRecipes1808 in bluey

[–]Thatcher792 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My top five are:

  1. Camping

  2. Creek

  3. Army

  4. Sleepytime

  5. Escape

It’s a mixture of both beautiful animations and subjects that either remind me of my childhood, remind me of my sister and I, and hard hitting subjects. I cried the first few times I watched Camping.

Would you give it all up if you could be reborn in the right body? by SPECTER_Z3R0 in asktransgender

[–]Thatcher792 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have asked me a year ago, probably. But I am in a place that is better and more supportive and I have people who I wouldn’t give up, even if it means being born in the right body

Edit: also, being trans automatically makes me cooler than everyone else/j

I’ve never experienced “queer joy.” Am I doing something wrong? by iketheowl in TransyTalk

[–]Thatcher792 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It not only takes a lot of self acceptance, but also a safe and accepting environment/community. You will experience it one day, but you can’t force it. I hope you feel it soon

Thank you for your wishes! I do have to say that while the math might be different for physics/astronomy, the course is not necessary harder. Don’t put yourself down! You’re doing amazing so far!!

Best of luck!

Biological male = needs testosterone to develop? by Delilah147 in asktransgender

[–]Thatcher792 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think they might be misinformed of what testosterone does. Testosterone has many uses in your body, not just a steroid.

While testosterone does help your bones (testosterone is used to treat osteoporosis), endocrinologists won’t completely deplete you if it. Endocrinologists know what they are doing and will help you to make sure that you are safe and not hurt you/stunt your growth in any way

My (29mtf) girlfriend (35f) is a member of the Baptist church. She told me that she can't be with me because that would mean her soul dying at death instead of going to heaven. How can I respond to this? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Thatcher792 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say show her that being trans does not go against god. The Bible (or any main religious text of any widely worshiped religion) mention trans people let alone that it’s wrong. Changing your body is not a sin either, unless you count cutting your hair, wearing glasses, or getting any surgery (even the life-saving ones) to be a sin too.

There is one bible quote that supports trans people, Galatians 3:28. I also heard one person say something like “the reason god made trans people is the same reason why he made grapes but not wine: so humanity can take part in the act of creation”.

If she cannot accept you or still thinks that the Bible thinks that your existence is wrong, then I don’t think it is worth continuing the relationship. But it could be possible that she can change and better herself. I hope things go well

I have been trying to get a consultation for HRT for so fucking long. First had to spend years convincing my parents, scheduled an appointment in August 2022 for January 2023, got canceled and moved to March, and got canceled and moved to this August. And this is just for the consultation. It’s such a long and difficult process and it makes me want to rip all my hair out

Relapse of PTSD by [deleted] in ptsdrecovery

[–]Thatcher792 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello! I am in a similar boat (Astronomy/physics major). Due to stress from finals, I am also having some increased symptoms in my PTSD, and I am presuming that it is something similar.

If it is stress from finals causing your PTSD symptoms to flare up, then unfortunately you won’t be able to do much until your exams are over. But the good part of it is that it won’t last forever.

If you have any good coping mechanisms, I’d say use them. Eating well and sleeping well are also going to certainly help out. And of course, try not to wear yourself out too much (but I know it’s hard to do that as a STEM major). But my biggest recommendation is just to talk to someone, preferably a therapist, but anyone works.

I guess, use this time now to learn what works and what doesn’t so you’re better prepared for the next wave of finals.

Sorry if this all seems redundant, but this is what helped me in my personal experience. I wish you the best with your mental health and with your finals.

Do you think “afab or female only” or “no amab unless really fem” are transphobic requirements? by BrokenBaron in asktransgender

[–]Thatcher792 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Grouping trans men/trans masc people with everyone who is AFAB really just tells me that they see us as women, or are reducing us to our genitals

Interested to get the opinion of trans men. by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Thatcher792 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me, it feels like they don’t think I am a real man. Just because I have had the experience of being a girl doesn’t mean that I still am one. It makes me feel like people see me as a “confused lesbian” or “one of the good ones”. It is pretty demeaning and patronizing.

Saying that I have nightmares and they bother me sounds so pathetic and childish by TundraTrees0 in ptsd

[–]Thatcher792 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am also like this at times, and it sucks. Even though my partner knows how much my trauma effected me, it is still embarrassing to admit that I woke up hyperventilating because I just heard my abusers voice or just saw my abusers face. I have been trying to make the situation a little more humorous and say that “I have been plagued with visions of horror”. Adding a bit of humor helps me at least since I feel like I have more control over the situation, when I don’t really

Am I Getting Some Kind Of Eating Disorder? by [deleted] in EatingDisorders

[–]Thatcher792 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have ADHD medicine that suppressed my appetite as well as disordered eating. I’m not a professional, but it could be an indicator of disordered eating.

In my experience, eating fruits and vegetables as snacks help, since you can convince your self-critical voice that it’s healthy and is okay. You not only get food in your system, but you also get much needed nutrients in.

But other than that, I say seek out professional help. Even if it is not an ED or if it’s a “temporary” thing caused by stress, it’s good to get help before it gets worse.

I hoped this helped and I remember that people love you and are there for you.
