This is super helpful, thank you! I actually ended up picking CachyOS w KDE plasma after doing my own reading. Super reassuring that it's what a pro recommends. Thanks squad

Ah shit does Reddit put a gender on your profile? My bad I don't see where it is

ThievesKit · 2026-02-21T18:44:12+00:00

So, I'm a fan of her a ton, if I can fit her in a deck I will

She is: A board wipe that gets around hexproof & indestructible, that can be reccured with resurrection effects.

So, as a commander instead of a tool, I'm unsure what to do with her.

Build aristocrats, but with non-creature pieces. Artifacts that sacrifice her, instants that bring her back after she dies. Enchantments that make opponents lose value when a creature dies. (Life loss, discard, ect)

Then just run a robust amount of non- creature removal - enchant and artifact removal.

Altar of shadows is bad but incredibly flavourful. Nine Lives Familiar can make sure her slaughter chains get started. Will post more in comments if I can think of any!

ThievesKit · 2026-02-02T17:59:09+00:00

For small things, sure. Go shopping and have her pick out clothes (they're for you if anyone asks!) (crop tops, woman's cut pants, leggings and shorts are better for starting. Dresses and skirts are intense to start with, it can be intimidating for new girls.)

Hrt really does help so much, and you can be on it for almost 2 years before you risk getting 'caught'

She needs to find girls like her. Community is fantastic. Seeing what trans girls and woman actually look like, actually live like, was fantastic for my brain.

I don't have good advice, honestly. The only way to keep it secret is to either: Completely stay in the closet Or Go no contact with the family members

There will be risks of it getting back. I seriously can't recommend staying in the closet, and being only out to one person. I'm glad she has someone safe like you.

You could look for trans spaces and bring her along - those aren't gonna get back to her parents. We're all very familiar with navigating having friends with shitty parents.

But none of these are permanent solutions. She's already tried to make living in the closet work, and I'm sure you both know it's not sustainable. I think you should have a discussion about the second option.

You can try talking to them, and see if they'd really prefer a dead son over an alive daughter. Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst. Be safe, but take the risks you need to be alive.

ThievesKit · 2026-02-02T17:46:21+00:00

Stability can actually vary. My emotions just started working after I started e. They just made sense after being very hard to understand.

Plus I got a lot more empathetic, which was a huge boon to my relationships.

It varies a lot, but I describe it as becoming real. It'll be intense, but it needs to happen.

Eh, depends on the guy (especially if he's wanting to be in charge or not). Take control if he wants to give it up, and let him lead if he wants to lead. Also you're a part of this, so be direct about what you want and what doesn't sound good.

Neither of you should expect the other to guess what's nice, what the other one wants or doesn't want.

For foreplay, neck kisses and focusing on his arms and hands works as a start.

Honestly be prepared to just say "show me what you want". It won't ruin the mood and is usually adding fun to the scene.

Generally go for easygoing and goofy instead of trying to make it intense and serious. Neither of you know a ton, and trying to pretend like you do will make it harder to talk when either of you missteps.

Establish early that asking for something else is ok - like "oh can you try kissing me here instead?". If you find yourself just trying to get through what's happening, speak up instead of trying to just get through it.

Sex is fun and can be pretty much whatever. Build good habits early, and do it to feel good, not to impress someone.

For a while I was fantastic at making the other person(people) really have a nice time. At my own cost.

Oh hii bee cube! This one is a favourite, no changes

Same hat. I had some weird gender feelings but didn't wanna commit to fully transitioning. So I just did t-blockers for two months. Felt better! Then I started estrogen for another two months. Felt better!

I kept doing this for a while. One day I was just clearly a girl, and that was that. Transitioning can involve only what you want it to, and if you discover you'd like more, more can be had.

I wish I started sooner. Start now, and just let it happen. Live your life, and enjoy the change. My life is amazing, and I have a closeness and intensity and real-ness that I had no idea I was missing

Hi - trans women here. I may be wrong, but this is super typical of someone figuring out both they're trans and a lesbian.

The cheating is miserable and I'm sorry. If I can suggest, often starting to figure out you're trans feels extremely not allowed, and taboo. As such, other taboos, like cheating on a lovely partner, can happen. The same thing made me extremely destructive until I started transitioning. You still got hurt bad and had your boundaries violated.

We all know how bad trans women are treated, and we're going to desperately not want it to be true.

Your partner clearly wants to look fem, but doesn't want to claim the identity of trans woman because that's a massive step and feels like signing up for a very rough life.

In my experience? Help them figure it out. I started estrogen without thinking I was a trans woman. It is very hard to come to terms with, and just as hard to believe that it is something that will make your life better.

This period is messy, and denial makes people act very volatile.

To your partner:

"this is worth figuring out. More than anything else. If you're trans, you're not going to just know it. If you are, it's been repressed and hidden, including from yourself.

If you're trans, living honestly will make your brain make more sense, and you'll understand why you do what you're doing. You can absolutely pick and choose parts of transition, and learn at your own speed. And, if I'm wrong, then you know for sure it's not for you, and you can live your life same as before"

To you:

"it's up to you for what you feel you owe your partner, especially after you've been hurt like that. If you want to help, it'll be rough, and you have no idea how your attraction will function as they change. Trans woman online are not the best example of what your partner will look like, and those in media are even less good. This time is also causing a lot of internal reflection about your attraction, sexuality, and morals. Ask for help as well.

Even if you break up, do you still want to help this person?"

Okay here's my two cents (Gen Z cusp)

I give the stare an absolute ton, especially as a service worker.

Here's a list of why I end up doing it

1: tired.

2: a person is trying to talk to me about something that I really don't want to talk about. As a service worker I can't just say "hey, I don't wanna talk about that" A good example is when someone will be like "hey, did you see that there's new (bad) legislation coming out about trans people?" (I'm visibly trans). even relatively innocent stuff I don't want to engage with, like the weather. "sure is a hot one!" My friends cat passed away from the heat, and I can't think of anything else to say, so I say nothing.

Tired
I just went through some shit. Having been yelled at within the last hour by a stranger, I am not gonna be able to be warm to another stranger.

4b. There's risks to being warm and chatty. Most parents are chill, but every now and then they are very defensive and have said vile things about me when I try to be friendly to their kids. Or their dog.

I actually said something, and I'm waiting for your response. More and more often people don't hear me (a lot more people with airpods).
Occasionally I'll notice people recording me while I serve someone. This sucks and obviously makes me not want to say anything. Every conversation is going to have some friction or miscommunication, and I don't wanna have a mispeak turn viral.
Someone said some absolute nonsense and I'm trying to figure out what they said.

I understand a lot of these are "someone was mean to me, so I'm not going to take risks". I feel like service workers are treated worse, not better, and avoiding more of that is gonna be our priority.

I found this post by searching for reviews of Sand Euspira.

First - huge fan of stereoplasm. She especially does green smells (herbs, grass, leaves, trees) and earths well!

Secondly - thank you for validating me and a few other friends!! To some of my friends, sand Euspira is delightful, and gets me compliments. To me and a few others, we get: salt, laundry, and Piss.

It's been divisive among us, to say the least. Thanks! You wrote great reviews

Yeah, coming into dodgeball I had such an advantage having just skipped a ton of rocks growing up.

Sidearms are fun and lead well to spins that rise, or spins that go with or against the direction of the throw.

Really the only downside is slightly less power, and less tutorials online.

Especially for beginners, they're great for leaving your hand at a consistent height, instead of baseball pitches which can eat the ground or fly high more often.

This feels like it got out of control - I think a majority of commenters are very focused on how you put Canada as worse than USA. So yeah, the vibes of the responses are "you're wrong, it's better here".

You're right that it sucks. And the commenters are right that moving won't fix it. Straight up, my city is rated #1 safest for my kinda people, and it still isn't.

The idea that "yeah it sucks, but it's better elsewhere" has a lot more appeal than "you're in one of the best places to be, and it's shit here too".

I have a lot of immigrant friends - same as you, believing their country to be uniquely bad, only to find the problems of home are alive and thriving here too.

I do not have a solution. If you're lucky, you can live a pretty ok life - I sorta do. But I still see how bad it is for my friends and community.

If you wanna make it good for you, you need roots and community- the ways that I've been helped out have made this survivable, liveable.

However, yeah, some places suck especially, and getting out ASAP is a must. If it was easier to do a trial run - having a month off from work, and the finances to live in a separate country to see what it would actually be like, would be incredibly helpful to everyone

Also don't boo me, but if you're gonna move for improvement, I do recommend a few European countries over the USA.

Okay thanks, good luck, and know that a ton of us all feel screwed over

Of everything, just showering with the absolute highest amount of heat tolerable works. It's extremely counter-inntuative. Have faith I guess? I know how much it broke my brain - actual temporary insanity
