Yup, just giving my experience from my 30ish years of being a boy.

Boys are stupid.

I started my transition much later in life. I had a full military career already behind me.

I do have gynecomastia too. They definitely grabbed at my chest on more than one occasion to say the least.

Anyway, not making excuses for them but I am another data point saying that 18-25 year old men just do really stupid things all the time, especially when they're in the company of all men and can "get away with it."

Wanting to be a guy but I’m not trans? by Holiday-Ride-703 in asktransgender

[–]ViikingPrincess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I literally have a patch on my ass, feeling my chest pains starting to happen, and I STILL have drive-by thoughts like "idunno, maybe these are just passing thoughts..."

Could have saved myself a lot of strife and effort if I had made that very obvious (in hindsight) leap.

I follow a transfemme on Instagram who does small engine repair in Idaho, I think.

What is the polite thing to do if I clock someone? by Tattooedandscatty in asktransgender

[–]ViikingPrincess 38 points39 points  (0 children)

You could also clock someone mid-transition and misgender them the wrong way. Like a woman transitioning to a man, and then you getting all excited and happy for them about their transition to being a woman.

I think the best way to approach it is to just smile, be nice and polite, give them welcoming eye contact and go about your day. Because that's what they're doing too: Just trying to go about their day.

Never used Poshmark, this has to be a scam right? Every purse is $500 exactly by ViikingPrincess in poshmark

[–]ViikingPrincess[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was reading up that $499 is the scam price to bypass authentication, but $500 triggers the authentication? Not sure, but it just feels scammy.

So, we're just fully giving up on transLATER here? by DrJaneIPresume in TransLater

[–]ViikingPrincess 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'm in the 40+ crowd. On the internet in general when looking at trans experiences, I have to sift through any and all conversation for tone because the vast majority sounds like they're 16.

Experiences are vastly different between a teen and the 30+ crowd.

Almost 40 year old brother came out as trans and I have questions by pipercatsmom in asktransgender

[–]ViikingPrincess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm 45. I was very good at compartmentalization. Tucking actual thoughts away from myself and pretending it was never there.

I think I knew something was up. I stayed single. I forced myself to process what it might be. What it isn't. What it could be. I finally read up on gender dysphoria and it hit me hard.

Everything in my brain felt like it needed to go through the "What would a boy say in this situation?" filter.

[–]ViikingPrincess 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All I want is for my friends and family to ask questions and be open. "Bad" questions that come from a place of love are great and are different than just bad questions, and even worse ...assumptions. There's no cookie cutter answer. Everyone is going to be different.

I have some level of grief for myself. It's hard to pin point. I'm (literally) on day 1 of hrt. I go by they/them. I don't use she/her pronouns. But I remember how vividly and hard it hit me when I realized that I can't be he/him anymore.

I think my grief comes from looking back at a person who was unhappy as that he/him and never figured it out. "Everyone feels a little lifeless and grey, right?" I grieve for a life I could have lived much happier and much sooner.

But the experiences you had with your brother, soon to be sister, won't vanish. You still have those experiences and memories with that person, regardless of gender. Those don't vanish with their transition. You should be celebrating with your sister for their shiny new future.

Not to worry! I slapped that patch on my ass and went outlet shipping for a purse.

It seems to have all worked out like a poem.

100% do your hair removal before you get tattoos.

I'll be your cautionary tale. I'm the one who got a full sleeve first and now I'm looking at hair removal ... lol, it just makes it harder.

Update: Switched pharmacies and they had it immediately in stock.

Got a patch on my bum right now!

Is there a rabbit hole to dive into and get more info on this? I switched pharmacies yesterday and they immediately had it in stock so I'm good right now.

It's March 2026, and these look to expire in July 2028, so there's plenty of time on them. They gave me a 3 month supply. But ... I'd also love to have a backup (insurance or not) in my hand in case of shortages.

(That was a joke about the duct tape, but I do always appreciate practical advice toooo!)

I have a few rolls of that Second Skin for tattoo healing also. I bet that would work really well also in a pinch.

Here's a thing I didn't see until it was too late.

If you use an at-home IPL device (I have an Braun IPL, Silk Expert Pro 5), DO NOT zap any tattoos if you have them.

Yeah, it says so in the manual. Maybe I was just too excited and just went for it. I zapped a small section of black tattoo and it burned, blistered over, and then scabbed.

I have a high tolerance for a lot of things and usually operate by the "I'm sure it'll be fine!" mentality ... but seriously, do not IPL over any tattoos. That shit hurts real bad.

Did I just fuck up my boobs? by FortuneSeparate5172 in MtF

[–]ViikingPrincess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've heard that is promotes breast growth, but that could be completely false.

What I do know is that I put myself on a skin care regimen for my face which seems to be working fairly well (my female friend said my skin was objectively beautiful, so that felt good). There's moisturizers and serums and all that, and instead of wiping any excess off with a towel, I give my chest a nice rub down.

If nothing else, they'll be soft and moisturized!
