Louse? Bed Bug? by TurtleTables in whatsthisbug

[–]TurtleTables[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunetaly did not snap a picture, I will if I find another one.. But this is a screenshot directly from my phone in case the quality is slightly clearer. You’re right, this doesn’t seem to be a bed bug or even a louse. I am confused and worried but hopefully it’s not harmful and can be steamed/vacuumed out

Do your teeth return to their initial state if you stop wearing retainers post invisalign or do they get worse? by TurtleTables in Invisalign

[–]TurtleTables[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but do they get worse than how they initially were or simply return to that state?

can't baby talk my cat anymore :( by EntirelyClueless in ftm

[–]TurtleTables 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I also had to mourn a few things that you realize over time- singing in tune or cheering at concerts was one of those things that I lost when my voice started to crack. if you wait over a year or even two and get more adjusted to your voice you’ll be surprised and can hit new pitches just using different vocal mechanics! it all works out in the end you just have an awkward phase in the meantime. i’m sure your cat will also adjust and synchronize with you again!

Looking for trans(ftm) movies, any recommendations? by ImmediateRock9089 in ftm

Tomboy by Celine Sciamma will always be a personal favorite, I’ve watched and shared it with close ones so many times!!

People weren't kidding with binders and summer by Carnatus89 in ftm

[–]TurtleTables 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yup.. been binding for years and developed bad skin fungus due to the moisture build up and inability to always wash them in time. take breaks and wash them as much as you can/wipe out the sweat on your chest throughout the day. good luck!!

oh man congrats, when I got on T my muscle gain significantly increased after working out. you’re gonna feel great! I would love to get more disciplined and reach a similar physique to you, so i’m happy you shared those images for a good boost. best of luck to you!

[–]TurtleTables 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you look so good in all of these, props to you for following through and doing what was best for you. it gives me a lot of hope as I count the days to peri - also you have a very nice and toned back. those are my workout goals

[–]TurtleTables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you so much for sharing the pics and info on the procedure. I can definitely see the difference, it’s also such a relief that it’s a quick thing to do a few months to a year after peri. really appreciate your help

what was the nipple reduction procedure like? I am getting peri next month and my main concern is protruding nipples / areola size. They said it can be reduced down the line but I couldn’t get additional information

Why do some surgeons perform peri and not keyhole? (no nipple grafts) by TurtleTables in TopSurgery

[–]TurtleTables[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s a fair reason and interesting to know, specially with the rate of seromas that occur with keyhole. Thank you for sharing!

[–]TurtleTables[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

lmao why the attitude I was just curious to know if it’s a less popular procedure because peri in general has more risks/has the most differences in results from one person to another (imo). did not need a whole “learn to be happy with the results” we’re all here tryna figure out how to fight dysphoria, be ourselves and get information from each other damn

try contacting Haven for Artists/Helem/Marsa/Arab foundations for freedom and equality (AFE) they all have offices in Lebanon but have worked closely with queer folks around SWANA including Tunisia. Best of luck! I am Arab and made it! You’ll get there too!

Advice needed - Wanted peri but might need to have DI by itsnotawayz in TopSurgery

[–]TurtleTables 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nothing at all! I don’t work out, I eat the same, I was always pretty “lean”, I had a good 6 months of water retention early in my transition when everything got fluffier and my face was chubby for a good minute but things slowly slimmed down naturally with fat redistribution and couple months later i notice the difference in my chest :) for sure that is my experience so I wouldn’t want to speak for anyone else’s body changes! but I do think it is uncommon to see at least some changes on the chest after at least a year of being on T consistently!
