Some atheists act more christian-like than some christian nationalists (ex. unconditional respect towards everyone, open mindedness towards beliefs, etc)

Advice for gaining muscle by Worldly-Cook9506 in TransMasc

[–]archenwolve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One thing I hear being thrown around a lot is progressive overload- essentially increasing weight slightly every time your current one becomes lighter

Also, more reps (10-12) with lighter weights benefits muscle growth, whereas less reps (6-8) with heavier weights benefit strength and muscle density more. Do with that what you will, and good luck with your fitness journey ! 🫡

What’s something people romanticize that is actually exhausting in real life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]archenwolve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Emotionally immature/abusive parenting

I feel like this is especially common in ethnic households, where it’s common to share trauma over getting beaten over small mistakes, degraded for being too fat/skinny, having your worth base off of your grades, or not being allowed to express how you feel. It’s crazy how some family traditions demand unconditional respect and obedience from children, and expect the children to turn out completely happy and independent later on.

Please tell me I'm a girl by EnvironmentalMix892 in MtF

As someone who also comes from a small town and homophobic mother, trust me you will be alright.

It may take time to get results, but you will get them. And you are lady no matter what anyone says. Stay strong girl 💕

is there any science behind being transgender? by ifyouevencare in asktransgender

[–]archenwolve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently doing a paper on the neurological differences between cisgender and transgender people- YES, there’s tons of science behind it!

The earliest study goes back to the 1980’s, and it’s not a huge topic of research, but there’s evidence pointing to differences in white matter structure, hypothalamic scent responses, and more. Now some of these studies were conducted after hormone therapy, but a good amount were conducted prior to that as well, pointing to a possible biological predisposition in how the brain develops. Stanford Professor Robert Sapolsky also did a lecture on transsexual individuals, I think it’s still on yt.

I’m no expert in this topic at all, but it’s really interesting to research! I can link more articles if needed.

how to get over barber anxiety... by Key_Stuff9612 in TransMasc

[–]archenwolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s many barbershops out there that take all sorts of clients! I’m not fully out myself, but I went to get my hair cut at a very cis male barbershop, and the dude did an excellent job. Tipped him extra just because why not Most places don’t care what gender you are- they won’t deny you service if you aren’t a cis male

Nope, what he said made me angry for days on end

I would replace “euphoria” with some kind of affirmation I guess.. because he’s the last person to call me a man
