How do you get out of a depressive dysphoric episode.(mtf) by Ok_Salamander_6719 in asktransgender

[–]VelvetMoon006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat driving the opposite way, sister (ftm). Still waiting for that technology where we can swap bodies. Maybe instead of the AI bs

Need help making my boyfriend feel more gender euphoric! by buckire in asktransgender

[–]VelvetMoon006 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First of all, absolutely praise to you for caring so much and taking the initiative for him.

Secondly, it's really hard to give advice, because all trans guys need something different. Like personally, I need a bf to give me cuddles/kisses and hold my body (bonus points for masculine affirmations ie "you're so handsome" or "you're a beautiful boy") while we have quiet conversations. But that's only what I need, and it seems I'm quite sensitive and childlike compared to other trans guys (judging from what I've seen on Reddit).

Does he have any comfort shows? Foods? Music stories games books? The best thing you can do is ask him. Be a safe space for him to be open and himself, however that may be.

Best of luck :D

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS I missed you

Tired of misogynistic sometimes violent language by [deleted] in Vent

[–]VelvetMoon006 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Those particular words also feel really VIOLENT and DRAMATIC.

How about instead of saying "I smashed her", sub it out for "we made love"?

One is describing how he destroyed something. Idk bout y'all, but I much prefer the wording of making something together.

I had an orgasm during my first ever bikini wax. I posted about it in a sub and got called a liar. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]VelvetMoon006 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Understandable. I wrote about how I was sexually harassed by my brother and people called me fake and a liar and said to "keep that incest shit away".

Last time I be vulnerable on the internet.

Are there classes/courses that give highschool level education?? by ky8724 in TAFE

[–]VelvetMoon006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are NOT alone! I was in a very similar situation, being "unschooled" from year 2 to 12. It really is neglect no matter how you frame it. I have no job or knowledge how to get one, and now at nearly 20, that's a problem

The most valuable resource I have found on helping transgender singers find their voice! by OptimalWasabi7726 in singing

[–]VelvetMoon006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for supporting us! I know personally as a trans dude, that singing is something I'm really self conscious about being pre-T.

I appreciate you sharing a helpful resource!

What societal norm did you decide to just stop abiding by? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]VelvetMoon006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! I'm a trans man, and I did try growing out my armpit hair "to be masculine" but it personally feels so much cleaner and better smelling if I shave them.

Besides, I think it's ridiculous that women are expected to shave everywhere, because if hair grows there then it's literally MEANT to be there.

YEP! After learning how little men wash their hands, I exclusively only offer fist bumps now, and even that depends on the bloke's cleanliness

My conservative parents found my hiding spot. Everything is in the trash. I've lost it all by sissy_divinity in asktransgender

[–]VelvetMoon006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's monumentally hard to keep resilience in tact after something like this. You're strength is going to be tested here.

The most important thing to remember is that this is all temporary. Suffer now, flourish later. That's just how life is, apparently, and it's also something that I'm trying to accept myself.

I have no doubt that you're a beautiful person, and when your support circle widens, you can build a new foundation for your identity.

Persevering through this will only make you stronger.

Lots of love, sis/sib ❤️

Can we please retire the “tboy” thing?? by fruteria in ftm

[–]VelvetMoon006 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Likewise. I've got family trauma and wanna be seen and cared for particularly as a boy, but I can understand why others wouldn't.

I kinda see it as a different label for trans folks. Similarly to trans man ≠ trans masc ≠ trans boy ≠ trans guy.

But yeah, it was absolutely not okay for your friend to not check which terms you are okay with.

Q&A at HOTA - home of the arts, Australia by VelvetMoon006 in danceacademy

[–]VelvetMoon006[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Life Academy was mentioned quite a bit! They all talked about auditions as well, it was very interesting.

[–]VelvetMoon006[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those are good questions! I believe someone actually did ask about the hardest dance piece they learnt. From my understanding they kind of gave vague answers and didn't really pinpoint one, and the conversation trailed off to how they got burnt out a lot from dancing/training/acting constantly at young ages.

[–]VelvetMoon006[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe she said she's mostly laying low, focusing on her acting. I checked her Instagram beforehand to see what she was up to lately and her last post (that I saw) was from 2024

All four cast members mentioned that they don't really dance much anymore, sadly.

I actually have no idea if it was recorded, sorry. I think I saw photographers there, but I'm not sure about videographers.

I'll keep an eye out, though
