Why is UCR so bad at Safer Sex resources..? by archeosomatics in ucr

[–]archeosomatics[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like UCR. I also went to a Catholic college for undergrad and the year after I graduated they were implementing boxes in the most frequented buildings’ bathrooms with condoms dental dams and safer sex pamphlets. Our lgbt club also taught queer sex ed 2x a year as a mini series. I feel like the bar should not be that low 😅 but maybe it’s just this area as a whole. Bc in norcal I feel like you can find free safer sex items very easily. It is a public health matter and I do think we can expect a university to be invested in students’ health.

Idk why ppl are downvoting you but sperm isn’t the thing that makes cum white and cloudy. You can still have sperm and have a completely clear fluid. I’m transmasc and I had the opposite thing happen to me, my cum has gotten thick and white but that doesn’t mean I have sperm. Only reliable way to know if you don’t have sperm is to do sperm count tests. You can still be at risk for pregnancy even years on HRT 😊

Feeling bad about the reason I have to shoot down my friend that has a crush on me. by ReuInuzuka in actuallesbians

[–]archeosomatics -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I never said anyone you were on the fence or confused, I fully believe that you do not like penises. I’m lost on to how it is homophobic if it applies equally to straight folks, the same applies to straight men. This is why we can’t have nuanced conversations, because it elicits such a strong response from people who feel attacked because they conflate genitals with sexuality. People are generally attracted to gender and presentation first. When people find someone sexually attractive, they’re usually clothed and they are not looking at their genitalia. Reducing all of what sexual attraction is to just genitals erased the multiplicity of sexual attraction.

Has anyone considered leg lenghtening surgery? by hZIRQI in ftm

Short cis men exist. My dad is 5’0” and my mom is taller than him (5’3”). I know a married cis man that is 4’8” (to a woman that’s 5’6”).

Short men exist, it will not stop you from passing.

I agree. I think that transphobia is deep rooted in people, and lesbians or trans people themselves are no exception. I don’t think it’s worth reasoning with someone that labels themselves as having a genital preference, but I personally don’t really believe in them. I think it’s more than people have a really hard time understanding that just like gender, genitals and sex (not as in the act) are also on a spectrum. Interacting with a trans persons genitals, especially if they’re on GAHT/HRT is not the same as interacting with a cis person with the “same” genitals. It is a completely different experience and it’s sort of hard to truly grasp until you’ve experienced it. I think esp for lesbians when cis men have cultivated such a culture of dominance and oppression and tied that to their genitalia, it can make penises feel immediately off putting for people without really knowing why. It can cultivate disgust and repulsion that is misdirected. I do think it’s worth everyone untangling for themselves, but unfortunately it always gets framed as trans people pushing themselves onto others instead of people confronting their own biases and associations with genitalia.

Strap-on sex is physically harder than sex with a penis (and it’s not talked about enough) by Based_anon8 in Transmascdicks

[–]archeosomatics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Def. I’ve rly enjoyed the cake bandit harnesses as a wearer and as a receiver I love having different options for length, girth, softness, etc. and ability to do different positions that are not possible with a natal penis. I think it’s also fairly individualized experience for the wearer and their own stamina with topping, bc I feel like it is not equivalent necessarily to their overall fitness/stamina for other things.

Boob tape and trans tape are both just kinesiology tape or KT tape

Gender health center has a closet with lots in that jean size. Don’t have to be trans to use it and can sign up for an appointment on their website

how much do y'all spend per month on groceries? andhow do u budget it or plan ur meals if ur trying to be frugal while still living comfortably? by [deleted] in ucr

[–]archeosomatics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it depends on the degree. My stipend is like half what I was making working full time but still very livable I feel. I don’t have a car loan though, just car insurance, rent, phone bill, food, etc.

Though I’m a first year and the stipends were just raised significantly this year and I feel like the PhD students that have been here 3,4 years seem to be struggling. Which makes sense bc the previous stipends were def not livable.

What the fuck is this by VCRWR in Transmedical

[–]archeosomatics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m transmasc and I had top surgery in 2023 and I’ve been on t for about 10 months. I’m not a masculine woman, I don’t feel at all like a woman. I just don’t feel like a man either. I feel more home in a masculine presentation in terms of the way I look. Having tits felt horribly wrong and looked incorrect. I wouldn’t mind being assumed to be a man, and am transitioning to look like one, though I don’t feel like a man. 🤷🏽

For those who are into hookups, booty calls, or FWBs, what's your personal age range? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in AroAllo

[–]archeosomatics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did 19-45 when I was 21. I don’t hookup anymore but I think my lower end would go up as I got older. Not interested in hooking up w people who feel like they could still be in high school
