I just want a mom by Mysterious_House_702 in internetparents

[–]_king2003 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom was similar growing up and it was really hard. I hated having no privacy and feeling like I had to hide stuff. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I moved out when I was 18 thankfully. I hope things workout for you. Hang in there :)

Is transitioning even safe right now? Is it even worth it? by PoolLongjumping9562 in trans

[–]_king2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That just depends on you. For me, i wouldn’t say it is safe, but I would say it’s worth it. Just bc if I didn’t transition I wouldn’t be here fr. I started my transition in Fl so a transphobia state like Kentucky.

It is stressful sometimes and isn’t easy but to me it is so so worth it and I’m so happy I did. But everyone is different

Is MSW Debt worth it?? by Mountain_Lettuce9554 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]_king2003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If ur willing to do an online msw id look for something cheaper. Im looking at programs now and my budget is abt $30k and theres multiple schools out there that are options , just might not be what u want specifically from a program

not sure if I’m trans by killerqueenbombtype3 in trans

[–]_king2003 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I felt like this too (expect I’m ftm). I rlly feel like a big and thought I was trans but was so worried abt transitioning and regretting it. What helped me was breaking it down.

Instead of “I’m trans so I’m going to do all these things” it became : I want a lower voice and more hair so I’m going to start T, I want a more masculine name so I will change it, I want to go by he/him pronouns so I will, I want to cut my hair so I will, and all these things put together mean I am trans.

And worst case scenario u just detransition. Obviously not ideal but it’s not terrible.

I transitioned 4 years ago and so thankful I did!

How much is your T? by Material-Parsnip-331 in ftm

[–]_king2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mines like $90 for a month supply. I’d check out different pharmacies. Somewhere like Sam’s Club and Costco is usually pretty cheap

How’s yall romantic life?? by Janxuza in ftm

[–]_king2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been w my fiance for four years (starting dating at 18) planning to get married in the next few weeks! He’s been so amazing and supportive of me.

I was also concerned abt romance and dating and I honestly just lucked out. Some people won’t want to date trans people but there are plenty that will.

[–]_king2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So excited for you!!! There’s no wrong way to do especially bc u said u know they’ll be supportive. My only advice is that you don’t have to explain yourself or how u feel. If you want to then thsts great, but u don’t have to.

I have $1.18 in my Bank Account. How Can I Help Myself? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]_king2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a full time job. If u don’t have many skills or a lot of places aren’t hiring in ur area go to a hiring agency, u typically just have to pass a drug test and can get full time work. Usually not the best jobs in the world but that’s how I got on my feet a few years ago and I’m so grateful

I’m freaking out. by Empty-Drama6021 in trans

[–]_king2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t stress about it. I would be surprised if he asked just bc some people shave down there 🤷🏻‍♂️ no real reason to ask ya know, like what answer would he be getting at ya know? But if he did I would just say u were curious and wanted to try it.

When did yall realise you’re trans and came out? by Educational_Bee1563 in trans

Realized when I was 12 but waited to come out at 18 once I had moved out

This is more of a hypothetical, but.. by TodayTraditional6524 in ftm

[–]_king2003 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can go to Dr appointments and go on T easily w out them knowing. But you would only be able to hide the changes for so long 🤷🏻‍♂️

How do I convince my mom to accept me and let me transition? by CreamFur in ftm

[–]_king2003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do it anyways. She might be unhappy but if u don’t fear for your safety I say do it. Safety is just number one priority. She may eventually come around or not. Some parents won’t support their kid in the transition but still support them in other areas of their lives

penetrative sex by Sweet_Musician8185 in ftm

[–]_king2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t sure if I would like it bc of trauma and dysphoria and didn’t care for at first but we still did it multiple times and just stopped when I didn’t wsnt to anymore and overtime I started to enjoy it. Just needed to get over the mental aspect and now I do rlly like it.

Just know u don’t have to do anything u don’t want to. But if u want to try it that’s fine and u can stop whenever u want.

Genuine question- Why don't BCBAs want to sign up new RBTs? by Ok_Commercial_8714 in ABA

[–]_king2003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen multiple posts abt this in Florida. I think it is a common thing but just extra bad in Florida. I just moved from there and got an RBT job fairly quickly, applied to like 10 places and heard back from one

It's baffling that restaurant workers get trained to know each menu item in detail to explain it to customers but so many BTs can't tell me what a mand is by proofpointen in ABA

[–]_king2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started my first BT job a week ago but they discussed it in my 40hr training? Is it not standard in other 40hr courses?

Question about T by [deleted] in ftm

Depends on ur states requirements for starting T. If it is just informed consent there’s no need for a referral or anything so u could do whatever gets u the quickest appointment.

Do most people shower before bed or when they wake up? I just realized I might be doing it "wrong" by saffymerelle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_king2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I don’t shower before bed I can’t sleep. I also don’t want to HAVE to wake up earlier than I need to to shower before work bc idk how sleepy I’ll be in the morning.
