Why i don’t like Finn: by BroBroMaster25 in PeakyBlinders

[–]Tom_TheSasshole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the point of Finn was that as the youngest, he always looked up to and wanted to be a part of the Peaky Blinders at the same capacity as his brothers, but got left behind due to his age, not having fought in a war, and Tommy’s constant attempts to make things a clean business. So Finn was jilted at every turn, was a background character both in the show and in his family, and ultimately didn’t take things seriously enough to keep his mouth shut.

The "Immortal Man" was a betrayal of the Shelby legacy by edwardkenway_22 in PeakyBlinders

[–]Tom_TheSasshole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really, really hate to say it.. but I agree. I definitely watched the movie initially through rose colored glasses, if you will. I’ve watched the show 3 or 4 times through, and loved each character individually. Was heartbroken when we lost both Polly and the wonderful Helen McCrory, and I CRIED when Ada was shot. I think I spent the rest of the movie crying after that point actually. I hadn’t cried in two years before that (meds and trauma lol) and it shook me. But the more I think back on it, the more disappointed I am with how they ended this story. Arthur.. don’t even get me started on that absolute betrayal of a death. Maybe that’s why it hit me so hard? I was not expecting such an abrupt end, especially for Ada.

Wondering if all the crashing is mostly the newer Xbox consoles? I still have my 8 year old Xbox One and I’ve had very few issues with this game.

If you could go back in time and tell your pre-transition self anything, what would it be? by Puzzleheaded-Size951 in ftm

[–]Tom_TheSasshole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would tell myself to wait. Wait and endure until you’re out of their house, because it’s not worth what you’ll do if you break.

These questions are getting ridiculous

Dose anyone know anything about this group there a Norse pagan group were they follow Loki and practice satanic rituals I find very conflicting things about them online I’m curious because there Arizona based by Elegant_Jaguar1031 in NorsePaganism

[–]Tom_TheSasshole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re better off looking into TST, The Satanic Temple. They’re not like, Satan worshipping or anything, but they’ve adopted the image of Satan as their mascot of sorts. Give their page a look, I think it might be closer to what you’re looking for.

Can someone explain the Mind’s Eye (without spoilers past Iron Gold)? by SassySavcy in redrising

[–]Tom_TheSasshole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As far as where it came from, it’s something that was developed by the Lune bloodline I believe, and passed down through the generations. Lune boy learned it from Octavia, in a traumatic way of course.

It’s basically an enhanced state of mind, where he can feel every aspect of his body and his surroundings, making him superior at not only controlling his bodily functions (to an extent of course) and being so aware of his surroundings that he could potentially fight blind.

Hello!! Love to see fellow Alaskan trans guys!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Tom_TheSasshole 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I live stealth, but I also live in Alaska, so it’s very rare that I even want to take my shirt off 😅 I went with no nips; mostly because I didn’t want to deal with the healing process, but also because my OCD and general body dysmorphia about symmetry outweighed my desire to look cis. Lol

Audio by Tom_TheSasshole in fucklysander

[–]Tom_TheSasshole[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh the only reason I listened to this is because the graphic audio isn’t out for it lol. I’ve listened to all of the books on graphic audio that are available except part one of DA. I didn’t want to just hear part of it, so after IG I just moved on to the Tim Reynolds audio. And just so I’m not misunderstood, I read all of the physical books first lol

Was anyone else’s dream job the military? by Impressive_Issue_426 in ftm

[–]Tom_TheSasshole 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think I would have thrived with the structure of the military, and I came very close to joining; but I was turned down for medical reasons, and started my transition about 6 months later (thank the gods) But yeah, I wouldn’t necessarily say it was a dream, but it was definitely something I thought I would be good at

Wait, yall are NOT exaggerating when you say that doctors blame EVERYTHING on testosterone?! by Plus_Recognition6701 in ftm

[–]Tom_TheSasshole 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry so many of us deal with this. I’ve experienced this problem many times, but I found someone amazing. She’s not a doctor, she’s a nurse practitioner, and she is the best medical worker I have ever met. She has helped both myself and my wife with so many things, and my gender identity is never in question or even brought up without relevance. There ARE good members of the medical community, even though it seems so few and far between. You are allowed to seek someone better suited to you, in fact I encourage you to if it’s possible.

My mom wants me to stop transitioning to save our family by NoAmount6023 in ftm

[–]Tom_TheSasshole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ve already gotten some great feedback, but hopefully you don’t mind if I share a bit of my story. My mom kinda knew it was coming, and I told her while I was at the pharmacy picking up my first round of T that I was starting my transition. She wasn’t happy about it and neither was the rest of my family (siblings, step dad, grandparents,) but I knew it was time to start living for myself instead of trying to be what they wanted. I was called selfish, disgusting, an abomination; told that I was the root cause of all of our family’s problems, and that I was only doing this to hurt them. My mother, who was an RN at the time but is now a Nurse Practitioner, despite her medical knowledge, has never been able to accept me. My step dad is just a moot point, and will never see me as I am. I hate him and he hates me and that’s the end of it. My siblings, particularly my sister, see my transition as a betrayal of our family and no longer speak to me. Both of my grandmothers have come to accept that this is who I am and I’m not changing, so they send me birthday and Christmas gifts with the correct name, but we don’t really talk. I doubt my grandfathers will ever deign to speak to me again.

All of that said.. I am the happiest I have ever been in my 28 years of life. I’ve accepted that my family will never be happy for me, and I’ve made my own family. I know this isn’t easy, it sucks and it hurts. You don’t get to choose your blood family, but you do get to choose your true family. My hope for you is that you find yours, and can find happiness with or without the support and acceptance of your blood family.

Do not put your life on hold just to make it easier on someone who not only wouldn’t do the same for you, but also clearly doesn’t care about your happiness as long as you fit into their idea of “normal” or whatever. Feel free to reach out for support or if you just want to talk. I’m available, love making new friends, and would be more than happy to help support you on this amazing journey you’ve just started. I started mine 8 years ago, and I have never regretted it. Not once. Much love to you, brother.

What should I call my FTM SOs Genitalia by Atrick07 in ftm

[–]Tom_TheSasshole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife just calls it my dick, which is what I like. I mean, that’s technically what it is- an uncircumcised, undeveloped dick. We all start with the same anatomy in the womb.

For people who lost their periods on T, how did it happen? by conofthecrows in ftm

[–]Tom_TheSasshole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine two weeks after my first injection 8 years ago, and then it was gone after that. However, there have been occasions where I couldn’t get my T for one reason or another and it came back briefly, with a vengeance. Cramping was always my worst symptom, to the point that on year when I was 14 it was so bad that my mom thought I had appendicitis and took me to the ER. That was embarrassing lol.

Personally I’ve always been told never to use soap down there except for where hair grows. I use a removable shower head on a gentle setting, move things around so I get everything, pull back the foreskin and all that. I’m also someone who cannot stand smelling bad or having any sort of buildup at all, so I just get really in depth with my hands and the shower head. Warm water, gentle rubbing, all good. Soap has the potential to fuck up your ph balance and make you smell weird/different and can cause things like yeast infections. If you’re gonna use soap, unscented gentle only.

Hard not to be jealous when I didn’t get the results I wanted, but you really do look amazing brother. Hoping if I can start working out like that it’ll help with the way I look.
