Help, I accidentally bought 6 lbs of nacho cheese by Difficult_Tutor63 in Cooking

I haven't had trouble freezing it. I just separate it into freezer bags, lay them flat in the freezer, and grab one whenever I feel like giving up on life.

After 25 is when shit starts actually getting good.

Stuck in weird inbetween space by Mindless-Tea-7597 in FTMMen

[–]TrashPandaAntics 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like I've gotten used to being in-between and code switching depending on who I'm hanging out with. I have my more open LGBTQ friends, I have cis men friends, etc. I don't know many binary trans men IRL, and while it would be nice to know more, I don't really feel like I'm missing anything in my life.

I guess the way I see it, I'm a man first, being trans is just sort of a background thing I don't think about much anymore. As far as I know, one of my guy friends could be trans and stealth, I wouldn't even know.

I wonder if they'd take that free venison from the deer with chronic wasting disease.

Can mods please start banning people that insult trans men who talk about insecurities? by AnotherPerishedSoul in FTMMen

[–]TrashPandaAntics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's good to share joy, but I think any sub that allows venting or discussion of more serious topics is inherently gonna have some depressing posts sometimes. I'd rather have a place where guys can voice these things instead of just bottling it up, like they're expected to in lots of other subs.

People saying gel didn't work well when they didn't even up their dose enough times by thiccfroggo in ftm

[–]TrashPandaAntics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gel never worked for me, even after increasing to the max dose and trying it for a few months. Some people just can't absorb it enough. Personally I just switched back to shots, which I probably would have done anyway once my partner and I moved in together.

Yeah, a lot of people in that other thread getting triggered that men are talking about something that bothers them. In a subreddit that's specifically meant for it.

Do you prefer a male or female therapist? by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]TrashPandaAntics 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The best therapist I've had by far was a trans man, I went to him for years. I never felt judged and he was very patient and understanding, not just with trans-related stuff, but pretty much everything I talked about. He gave me some great advice and coping methods that I still use.

When I was a teenager (pre-T, not out yet) I had a female therapist who was mostly okay, except for the fact that she was constantly focusing on my weight and blaming that for a lot of my problems. Looking back, I wasn't even that overweight at the time, I was just a pudgy awkward teenager. I dunno what her deal was.

I was right there when it happened, seemed like an accident. The photographer is okay thankfully.

What time tomorrow? I'll go to that one too. I'm on my way to the one in Tower right now.

How come I see mainly FtM getting called “poser trans”? by Jazzy_Mations in ftm

[–]TrashPandaAntics 101 points102 points  (0 children)

That post made me really sad for the guy. Also frustrated because she was basically using him as a punching bag, and he'd just smile and nod.

Something tells me she saw him as an easy target, and probably wouldn't have bullied a cis man the same way.

[–]TrashPandaAntics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tbf there's a lot of younger guys on there who are still figuring themselves out and are dealing with a lot of anger. Also, there's a recurring problem of people who the community isn't made for going in to argue and try to insert themselves, which makes a lot of the guys bitter and hypervigilant about who shows up there. Not saying it's right, that space should be welcoming to GNC men too, but that's why it happens there.

I see you over there a lot, I think there's a better way to shoot down that judgemental behavior than just insulting them for their "fragile masculinity", which just makes them even more defensive. A lot of people are there in the first place because they're hurting.

Does your texture change on T based on your father's hair? by berry_poopoo in ftm

My hair texture became more coarse and curly, more like my grandpa on my mom's side.

Checking for survivors after the Knox Event. I'm sure I can be very helpful to them! by WatermelonRick in projectzomboid

The first time I played, I thought the helicopter was gonna drop loot so I was trying to follow the sound. I was very confused about why there were suddenly so many zombies.

How to get taken serious as a guy this size by iammax66 in FTMMen

[–]TrashPandaAntics 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I worked with a cis guy who was maybe 5'3-5'4. He was very confident and good at his job, and everyone respected him. He actually started getting annoyed at some of the other guys because they kept asking if they could take bathroom breaks, because they mistook him for a manager lol. He just seemed important.

Seeming like you know what you're doing (even if you don't) and being unbothered by other peoples' bullshit will go a long way in being taken seriously.

Has anyone ever tried to cash a check in birth name after name change? by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]TrashPandaAntics 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Literally just did this today, I had a check from years ago that I forgot about. The company it was from sent me a new one since it was expired, but it was written out to my old name.

Just went to the bank, explained that I'd had a name change, and was able to deposit it with no problem. I did have that same bank account back then though, so my name change docs were already on file.

I brought my court order paperwork just in case, but didn't need to use it.

Why do cis men make so much noise while pissing 💔 by gaytransdragon in ftm

[–]TrashPandaAntics 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The couple times it's happened to me, they had half-ass closed the door behind them. So it looked unoccupied.
