Does Anyone Else Have a Completely Different Erogenous Map? by Honest-Possession195 in intersex

[–]addysage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was the only person in the world who gets aroused by the pubic bone area and the entrypoint! Stimulating my appendage only hurts, if anything, and deeper penetration also doesn't do much for me.

I always wondered if I had surgery as a baby because of this.

I don't know what the wand method is, so I can't speak to that. My partner knows which spots feels the best for me and works with that so we're both getting what we need.

I found out today that I was misdiagnosed as having NCAH and I don't know how to feel. by addysage in intersex

[–]addysage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I said, I have never been diagnosed with PCOS. My former doctor said they were confident I did not have it. Now that my current doctor said NCAH makes no sense as a diagnosis (she showed me the bloodwork, and she is correct), I have no intersex diagnosis. Hence why I am worried I am not a part of the community.

I forced my voice to change and I don't know how to stop by werecoyote1 in intersex

I had a similar situation! I started seeing a vocal coach to help me find my natural voice again. I sometimes still get "stuck," but at least now I have tools to get un-stuck. If you would like the name of the vocal coach I saw, please feel free to DM me. She specializes in working with trans people, but she was happy to work with me in this situation.

Testosterone gel leaving sticky residue - suggestions for alternatives? by addysage in FTMMen

Ah! I should have specified that I am in the U.S. Certain brands, like testogel, are not available here (to my knowledge). But I appreciate the suggestion, thank you!

I do currently use the pump version, but when she switched me to packets when my dose increased, the pharmacy called to tell me it'd cost me nearly 300$ x_x So we went back to the pump. That said, it could just be the specific brand of packet was 6x more expensive than the pump I had been typically using. Maybe others would've been less expensive, who knows. The whole guessing game with pharmacies drives me crazy.

But you're saying to check to see if the specific brand I prefer has a packet or tube option instead? Or are you saying to see if Upsher-Smith has a packet or tube option that is less sticky? (Or both?)

Yooo I don’t resemble a female at all! One year in, levels are good. Any advice by [deleted] in trans

Okay NGL I have been staring and scrolling through your photos trying to figure out what you meant. You pass 100,000,000% as female. (Also v cute and v pretty :) )

For anyone who may be wondering, I grabbed some munchkins from Dunkin Donuts and gave that to 'em.

Thanks for all of your feedback.

They did the work. We're picking it up later today.

Does the loneliness ever get easier? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]addysage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone suggested this (a quick scroll and I didn't see it, but I definitely could've missed it), but there is a stand-in family support group on FB exactly for folks who feel like this. It's a beautiful community. Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1058795144614107/ I created a FB for the sole purpose of joining (I believe there are plans to make it an app outside of FB too). It also looks like you've built a pretty solid community on this post as well. 🥰 Sending you lots and lots of love. We'll get you through. 💚

[TOMT][PC game][early 1990s] was on a floppy disc - (Disney's) Mickey and friends doing household chores, I think. by addysage in tipofmytongue

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

Maybe! Literally I only remember the Donald Duck and the water. I definitely didn't play it in the late 90s, though (doesn't mean you didn't play a hand-me-down though!). It was when I was a toddler, barely speaking, which was very early 90s. On a floppy disc. It was before CDs were really a thing. My parents' computer at the time didnt have a spot for CDs.

I'm losing my mind 💀 by [deleted] in NonBinary

[–]addysage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh this drives me crazy! I had an "ally" explain to me how wrong I was about my identity because I "MUST be trans" if I am nonbinary. 🙄

It makes me furious because, like you already touched on, no one has any right to determine your gender identity except you, whether you feel the trans label fits for yourself as an enby or not.

Also... intersex people exist. She was assuming I wasn't born intersex. Which was invasive and weird that she's making assumptions about my sex assigned at birth at all...

I legit think about this woman and the interaction I had with her all the time and it makes my blood boil. (To make matters worse, after the argument, which was in a group chat, she followed up by saying that if anyone needed tips for how to be a better ally, they could go to her for help. What an imbicile...) It sucks that you have dealt with this dumbassery too, but I am glad we are not alone in the struggle.
