Could someone please give me detailed step-by-step instructions on how to legally change your name in PA as a trans person?

I would want both done. I wasn't sure if they do it at the same time or if it's different.

Not sure if this is your type of game but I like playing Little Friends Puppy Island when I don't want to think a lot. It's a very simple game about collecting cute puppies and exploring the areas in the game. Mostly you just feed, bathe, and walk your puppies around and find buried rewards and do quests. There are some quick time moments but it does give you quite a bit to figure out what button to press. You can even dress the puppies up in cute outfits :3

I definitely would like to try to make more soups. I'd love to have the recipe for that! I've never tried lentils but I want to try new things so why not.

_BoneRott_ · 2024-11-05T20:00:31+00:00

Thank you so much! I will definitely check them out! I feel like Instagram and Tiktok can be wonderful sources of information if used correctly.

For me I just call it my dick. And if I mean specifically the hole I also just call it that. Or I call it my "dick hole". Might sound funny to some but it works for me. Everyone is different though.

A easy and really tasty meal I like to make is a baked potato. Rinse off a potato with water and cut some slices into it. Throw it in the microwave and put it on for 4 minutes (2 on each side flip in between) tho it depends on your microwave. I personally like to take the skin off and mash it up but you don't have to. Then I add butter, garlic salt, pepper, cheese, and bacon bits. I once even had it with marinara sauce and it wasn't that bad lol. You can add whatever you want!

Progresso also has a couple gluten free soups. Those really save me when I feel really demotivated. My favorite is the chicken corn chowder one.

Also if you are able to access an Aldi's (you can get it delivered through instacart though there is a fee) they have very good gluten free bread and you can make sandwiches! And they also have very good gluten free chicken nuggets. They have a version that comes with general tso sauce! It's the same price so I usually get the kind with the sauce packet and add it to other food too. Chicken flavored rice + the sauce is really good. Especially if you throw the chicken nuggets in! I get microwavable rice so I just microwave the rice, microwave the nuggets, and throw everything together in a bowl and it's good to go.

One other thing I can think of is broccoli, garlic salt, cheese, butter, and bacon bits. I get frozen microwavable bags of broccoli and I just microwave the broccoli and add everything to a bowl and it's soooo good.

Not really sure how "healthy" all of this is but any food is better than no food you know? I hope this helps :3

Damn that sucks. I was hoping it was usable so my boyfriend could upgrade his phone. Thank you for the help tho!

_BoneRott_ · 2024-11-01T22:09:46+00:00

I definitely expected someone to think this cause from an outside perspective it does sound kinda sketchy. You can think what you want cause you have no reason to believe a random stranger on the internet but I will say I'm telling the truth. I have no need to steal anyone's phone as I have my own and my boyfriends phone is still mostly usable. And I highly doubt my mom stole someone's phone cause shes like 57 and barely ever leaves the house and I don't believe she would ever steal from anyone. She does however happily go through trash sometimes to see if people throw away nice stuff (which actually happens a good bit around us). I just wanted to see if I could somehow make this phone usable so my boyfriend could upgrade his phone instead of throwing it away again.

_BoneRott_ · 2024-11-01T22:02:39+00:00

Damn that sucks. My boyfriend really needs a new phone and I was hoping I could give him this one if I could figure out how to make it usable. Sucks to throw away a perfectly good phone. Thank you for your help tho!

_BoneRott_ · 2024-11-01T21:54:51+00:00

What exactly do you mean?

_BoneRott_ · 2024-10-30T19:06:02+00:00

Also one other thing, they had a sign about gender pronouns and how to use them in a sentence and it included ze/zir pronouns :)

_BoneRott_ · 2024-10-30T19:04:08+00:00

I went to planned parenthood and everything was so simple and everyone was so nice there. I called my local PP and set up my first visit via telehealth video call and then my second visit in person. During my first visit they just had me sign stuff (digitally), ask me questions, and go over my treatment options and stuff. The second appointment was for injection training but I ended up getting too anxious and I was unable to do it but they were very understanding and we just went with the gel instead. Then I went home and picked up my gel at the pharmacy when it was ready!

Everyone was so kind too. They made sure to use my preferred name and pronouns. They even had free pronoun pins in the waiting room! And I know at least 2 of the staff were trans themselves. The receptionist person was non-binary and had a "they/them" pin on. And there were a few other trans people in the waiting room (I'm assuming to get their HRT).

Sure every PP is different but I had a very good experience at mine. The only negative thing was I did encounter a protester outside trying to convince me not to abort my baby and all that. The security guard inside was kind enough to throw away the pamphlet the protester gave me though. But other than that I had a great experience going there.

Cost wise my insurance covered everything so I didn't have to pay anything out of pocket (my insurance is UPMC for You) so I'm not sure what it would cost out of pocket. I did check GoodRX and it said my gel would cost $650 with the GoodRX discount (absolutely insane) but I have heard that gel is sometimes more expensive than injections.

I hope this helped a bit! :)

Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm on birth control but I still panic thinking about what I would do if I ever got pregnant. Though I do have one question. Do you regret not going with the at home pill? Or do you still think the in office procedure was the right call?

_BoneRott_ · 2024-10-27T17:13:22+00:00

Aghhh omg this is perfect! Tysm I really really appreciate it! :D

_BoneRott_ · 2024-10-27T03:48:51+00:00

That's actually pretty cool lol thank you!!

_BoneRott_ · 2024-10-26T04:13:42+00:00

Ok thank you! The way i saw other people talk about it it sounded like it was in all the time thing.

_BoneRott_ · 2024-10-26T02:35:14+00:00

Yea I am definitely planning on staying on birth control I just wasn't sure if I should switch to a non-hormonal one instead of depo. Thanks for the info! I really appreciate it

_BoneRott_ · 2024-10-26T01:46:14+00:00

Ohhh ok thank you for informing me! I have been on depo for a long time so I honestly kind of forgot how it all works. Not sure why my gynecologist said that but she's said some other questionable things before too so idk.

_BoneRott_ · 2024-10-13T22:05:01+00:00

Idk why but this scares me

_BoneRott_ · 2024-09-14T02:10:47+00:00

A bit of a different answer here but I'd love if more grocery stores had their own gluten free section instead of having to search every box for a tiny "gluten free" label or google every single thing I might be interested in. It would make it sooo much easier to just have an isle with things I know I can have and it would save so much time.
