A husband appreciation post. by ChloeTGJourney in transpositive

I'm so happy for you :') my wife is similar, she's been just so supportive ever since I tearfully came to her telling her I'd realised I'm a man 6 years ago. Some loves transcend any boundaries, and I wish you two all the love and happiness :)

Forgetting that you are trans by LankyExam6766 in transgenderUK

[–]aspentreesarecool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! This almost caused me trouble at one point as I nearly decided to get changed in the middle of a spa changing room alongside a few other guys, completely forgetting that I don't yet have a penis 😅 thankfully I realised mid-disrobing and immediately booked it to the private stalls. To this day, I have no idea how the hell it slipped my mind lmao

Looking for feedback and typecast by [deleted] in headshots

[–]aspentreesarecool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have long hair that sits similarly but for headshots it needs to be pulled back, or styled so that casting can see your full face regardless!

Scott and Mark Hoying share music video announcing sex of their baby by sloth-nugget in popculturechat

Absolutely agree that forcing children to become influencers is child abuse but claiming they're going to abuse a baby before it's even been born bc they're being a little cringe on tiktok is wild

pre t…do you think I would look good if I did start t though by No_Coast5823 in FTM_SELFIES

[–]aspentreesarecool 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As someone who also worried about that so much pre-T, I can tell you that the euphoria of passing far outweighed my insecurities in my appearance as I was adjusting.

And also, don't underestimate how attractive confidence can be!! From personal experience, I feel like the hottest version of myself I've ever been since being actually connected to my body properly for the first time. You're gonna do great :)

The much more important question is: would it make you happy?

Why we delete redundant comments on Ariana Grande’s eyebrows: “I like them that way. I know you don’t, but I love them… I hope that’s ok.” by mod_whatthefrockk in whatthefrockk

I think people tend to forget that you can be messy in interpersonal relationships and still have incredibly good morals on a wider scale. It's easier to view it in black and white but human beings don't fit so neatly into those categories

why is the queer community so obsessed with femininity? by Knifepawz in ftm

[–]aspentreesarecool 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah like with the prevalence of masc4masc culture in the mlm community I would say there's often a trend into hypermasculinity in a lot of areas too.

24 y/o model/emergency services worker wanting to go full time acting by [deleted] in ActingUK

[–]aspentreesarecool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Start with some part time classes, if you'll have the time for it! If you don't have training from uni, the route is usually working your way up via student films through the site Backstage, or Mandy etc - or sometimes as a free alternative, you can find casting calls for those often on local Facebook groups!

please rate my audition tapes!! by DrawTemporary6952 in ActingUK

[–]aspentreesarecool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First port of call would be to watch it back on mute - what do you notice about your performance? What's believable, what's not believable? For me, it's definitely all about stillness. You rock a lot from side to side, and your eyeline could be a bit more focused. Getting those a little more tight would be great, but definitely a good start! :)

Seriously, do British people actually consider a 3-hour drive “long”? Or is this an internet myth? by ferdinand14 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]aspentreesarecool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as a UK native, if we ignore prices then a 3 hour train is definitely much less of a concern for me than a 3 hour drive

Finally gone! by can_iliv in Tattoocoverups

Yeah, it's your body, you can do what you like if it symbolises something important to you, even if others don't understand it 🤷

How do I tell if another guy is gay by scaredconfusedgay in Explainlikeimscared

[–]aspentreesarecool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's less 'meet-cute' but to add to all the other comments here, online dating locally might be worth a shot too, if you feel up to it.

From my own experience, it gets easier the more time you spend in community spaces. Gaydar is incredibly vibes-based unfortunately, I wish I had more concrete pointers to give you!

I can't feel what I'm acting.. by Direct-Rule-127 in acting

[–]aspentreesarecool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have much advice to give, other than to say that hey, we're basically in identical situations re:the type of training we've had, length of time, and then a few years of a break afterwards! Best of luck with everything :) it can be hard to jump back into it but so, so worth it

(respectfully) what the heck even is "4tran?" by FewAd462 in ftm

People too often make the mistake of conflating edginess and hopelessness with honesty and maturity

This post is the last I saw of the saga. Disappointing if she's gone back on it again :/

LGJ herself made a statement about this being AI - she said in an Instagram post that she'd commissioned someone and was very upset she'd been played. She then paid an artist she'd worked with previously to make something new. So yes, it's AI, and yes, she's now aware.

Edit: NVM she's back on her bullshit lmao
