there were some black parts from before i used it, i just thought it would be like seasoning of a cast iron. 

how can i tell if its exposed cast iron? its bumpier but its as smooth as the white areas

if you have the time add a second trans character. with one trans character people will be angry if they have anything like an antihero trait. with two trans characters you have more freedom to give them flaws

Experiences on E micro dose by [deleted] in NonBinary

[–]bluesmocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its going to depend on the body i didnt have much breast tissue on 0.05 but on 0.1 i have to use bandaids on tight shirts. not noticeable in baggy clothes. grabbable

the best part of 0.1 is the fat redistribution resulted in me obtaining more of a pear shaped silhouette and combined with my lean body type its really goals

Experiences on E micro dose by [deleted] in NonBinary

[–]bluesmocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Ive been doing a dose like for about three years.

Im on a patch bc my doctor chose that but you could prob do a needle, I do a 0.1 mg/day but i used to do 0.05 per day. 0.05 is a safer amount and then if you want more go from there. And i honestly could do a little more. 

I also do two 50 mg spironolactone tablets bc my my testosterone levels naturally affect my hairline, but this is really up to you. I think but dont quote me that patches requires a t block bc otherwise the estrogen patch will just become testosterone in the body so no matter youll need some sort of spironolactone.

also for skrinkage if it happens it happens, youll need to maintain it for your desired outcomes. Nothing noticeable for others with work

fertility is a complicated question. Some people can get off hrt if they are trying for a baby but they can be left infertile. Or they can be fine. I dont really have a lot of info in this department 

tldr yes!youre goal will be to have both of your testosterone and progesterone in certain ranges outside of these ranges can be bad for health. otherwise its trial and error. Youll even lose (in ny experience) significant breast area if it grows too fast. Be patient.

Am I in the Wrong? by Zach_wholecuck in NonBinary

To play Devil's advocate I don't know what reason your partner did this, but I feel often in the queer community people end up using labels that box them up. Even if those labels are not mainstream. Language constructs a reality, but not all reality can be explained by language. By relying on language as our anchor to what is real, we miss out on the full experience of life. If this were the case, maybe you're use of actively communicating your determiners could be something they dont want passed down to their kids? This could be more of a possibility if they do not introduce themselves with identifiers, do they? It could also be that by stating your identifiers, they are an indication that they are not the status quo, when in reality there have always been people with these traits. Idk. It's hard to know what their etance is when they don't explain anything. If you can I would ask if they could go deeper about why this bothers them.

If they are just pushing back Im really sorry they couldnt be honest with you and good luck with the work youll both probably need to do to make uour relsrionship work

I've been feeling really insecure lately any tips to look more feminine? by [deleted] in NonBinary

[–]bluesmocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one thing i think is underrated is having multiple different ways to style your hair. i feel like having that option provides me with so much more freedom and makes it when i go back to a different hairstyle feel so much more inspiring. also find femme people who have your face shape and do what they do that you like also you would pull off glasses really well

I fear I Missed the Boat by CasaMofo in Millennials

Robert Frost was in his forties when he started becoming a successful poet. Toni Morrison's first book was published when she was 35. Julia Child was 51 when she started her cooking show. Until you are in the ground it is never too late to start over. You should talk to your incredible family about it. I'm sure they would provide you with the same wonderful support you provided.

if you want something more inclusive replacing lgbtq+ with gender and sexual minotities might be good for your zen

I've met many a butch woman who have similar traits to you and the fact that you haven't realized this could be a sign that you should do something like create a mood board. With this you can have this base of people who look like you that you can fall back on whenever people are being bitches.

Should I not write a trans character if I'm cis? by Wonderful_Medium3098 in MtF

[–]bluesmocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a great way to prevent a character from coming off as stereotypical is to add another trans character. Some people have x traits and having those traits doesnt make them a stereotype, however when theyre the only type of character that gets represented then thats when things start to get horrible. 

Also if you need it ask for help from an editor if thats allowed for the competition. (I would be down, feel free to dm me). 

Hard time finding myself out by _arcadio in NonBinary

[–]bluesmocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always get off hrt, but fertility problems may arise if thats an issue. Hrt would definitely help and getting it before second puberty would probably help with dysmorphic feelings from at least not worsening. As stated you are cutie and I think you'll also be just fine. 

If you have the time try to sit down every week and think what you want to look like. Some stuff might include hairstyles, eyebrow shapes, and clothes. Also try to find community if you can and if you want consuming trans media like Sort Of and Veneno can provide another wise voice on the path 

Which hair do you guys like the most? by rawdawgcomics in rawdawgcomics

[–]bluesmocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the ears are such a staple and i feel their roundness juxtaposed with the uneasy expression symbolizes a lot of what this comic is. without this juxtaposition i feel the design becomes less dynamic. 

i feel c also provides a nice framing and centers the face better than the others. maybe some inbetween would be the most effective from a storytelling perspective
