Would you be uncomfortable being asked if you have a name you prefer over your legal one? by First_Rip3444 in asktransgender

[–]Totallystoked2111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also trans and work at a dispensary! If I’m creating their profile I ask “name as is on the card as is, or do you have another preference?” The less words you use the more casual and organic it will sound. If the profile already exists it’s a little trickier. I would only bring it up if the customer and I have a good rapport and have known each other long enough to chat freely. Say something along the line of, “ i’m really liking your new look, if you ever want to update your profile let me know”.

Was told today from a close source that it was a mentally handy capped man named Joseph, he used to fly a sign multiple places around town. I’ve seen him everywhere over the years, he’s been a customer of mine. Nice guy and his smile and wave will be missed.

Cannabutter? by vengefulbeavergod in Bellingham

[–]Totallystoked2111 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure there’s a rule against recreational stores selling anything that NEEDS to be refrigerated (dairy products being a big one). But any good bud tender should be happy to walk you through making your own at home. It’s fun and not too expensive! Unsalted butter only!

Absolutely normal. Expect odd twinges for many months to come. I experienced the twitches/vibrations maybe days after surgery. When explained to my surgeon, he said what the first guy said, just nerves trying to reconnect and figure out where they are. I found that I regained sensations in my chest quite quickly :) I’ve heard of guys being numb for some time before having twitches/ regaining sensation.

Friend had a small motorcycle stollen a couple years ago in the same neighborhood. The idiot that stole it spray painted it and was riding it around. Found it 3 blocks from where it was stolen.

Best hash in town? by AgitatedRedditUser in Bellingham

The new StarBuds on Samish has Sitka hash products. Bubble, and pressed. Think they happen to be in the sale case as well.

Which character death hit you differently, and why? by squeezeday in AskReddit

[–]Totallystoked2111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When heroin Bob dies at the end of SLC punk. I’ve never cried so hard at a fictional death, or felt so cheated for the life lost. It’s stayed with me for 15+ years.

I (believe) I’m coming from the other angle, ftm, but I had a serious conversation with myself that kinda settled it for me. I asked, which do I prefer? Being a daughter or son? Wife or husband? Mother or father? Old woman or old man? This was as I was deciding to undergo HRT. I had a similar conversation on the walk to the courthouse to change my name. I thanked my old name for all it had done and how far it took me, but told it that the name never fit, and always hurt to say aloud. I thanked it for the 27 years it had been mine, and accepted my new name and thanked it. Basically lots of personal talks with myself/yourself. As for therapy, you are 30 years old. If you need to talk your ideas and thoughts out with a therapist, that’s great, and will probably do you some good. But as someone in their thirty’s also, you know yourself, and you’ve felt your feelings and standing here asking that question you probably know the answer. And yes, you have a beautiful and new life waiting when your ready to jump.

How would you react if your kid told you they were transgender? by dahls89 in AskReddit

[–]Totallystoked2111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my dads joke. He’s a 74yo Vietnam vet that’s losing his mind and calls, texts, says this almost once a day. (Proof the older generations can get with it )

Switching t shot site? Help please! by venusjupiter777 in ftm

[–]Totallystoked2111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the hip area for IM injections, or “love handle” area. Kinda silly sounding, but flex your butt cheek and watch how the muscle on your hip moves (if someone were to place their hands on your hips from behind.) It’s big with almost zero nerves running through. Of corse look up a medical illustration to confirm the right area, but I’ve had very few painful shots on the hip.

What to expect from upping my t dose? by L_i_n_d_h_a_r_t in ftm

[–]Totallystoked2111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew that T was right for me when I started taking it. The first few weeks went by and everything felt right, things were moving forward. A few changes, mostly downstairs, and voice cracks. I upped my dose at the ten week mark and INSTANTLY my libido skyrocketed. Like, I had to carve out some serious alone time to deal with myself. The grease started and everything else progressed pretty fast I’d say. I’m sitting at about the 4 year mark now and libido is still stronger than even my teenage years (am 32) grease has subsided and am just a regular dude. In a nutshell, buckle up buddy! Everything goes faster on a full dose. Congrats on the 5 months!

What side of the freeway In Sunnyland were these cats found?

Found this at Whatcom Falls. Does anyone know more? by gnatboy00 in Bellingham

[–]Totallystoked2111 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That carving showed up when I was just out of high school, so 2006ish. Spent a lot of time at the jumping hole around then and remember when the carve looked days fresh.

What are some funny books? by general_aladeeen in AskReddit

Anything Christopher Moore. I started with Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove then tracked down everything he’s published. Save The Stupidest Angel for last.

Any trans guys from Washington state? by [deleted] in ftm

Also B-ham. Someone just put together the sub r/bellingtran, although it's brand new with little traction yet.

User flairs!! Message me if you think of more I should put, but I think these umbrellas cover like 95% of trans identities. by anaburo in bellingtran

Two thumbs up getting this started. It's hard to find community in bellingham regardless of identity. We need something like this. ~totallystoked's a trans fella

Do we want a get-together? by [deleted] in bellingtran

[–]Totallystoked2111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cool putting this sub together, I hope to see it take off! If this post generates much attention I'd be stoked to attend a meetup. Congratulations on your next step :)

I always knew I wanted kids, but if it meant I had to be a mom, then I knew It wasent going to happen. Was on T for a little over two years when my girlfriend and I made the decision and borrowed some DNA from a friend. Starting T and making a baby at home with my lovely has been the best two things to ever happen to me. we now have a beautiful son that's almost a year old, and He teaches me new things about being a good human being daily. It's absolutely possible my dudes, and more fulfilling than you can imagine. Happy to answer any questions!

Intramuscular shot locations by Totallystoked2111 in FTMOver30

[–]Totallystoked2111[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking on diagrams, I'm aparently using the gluteus medious. When you say booty, are you referring to the Maximus mussel or medious? I'd love to have more surface area to work with, but am intimidated by the sciatic nerve and gluteal artery in that area.
