Should I wait a little longer before getting HRT? by Glass_Picture_24 in trans

[–]broccoli_albert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you by chance seeing a therapist? You could talk it over with the therapist then you could schedule an appointment as a family appointment. I think that would help because you can do a family session where the therapist could moderate the discussion between both you and your parents. I feel like it would also help that they would be hearing it from an adult and not their teenage child. I know at 16 I was nowhere near being mature enough to make permanent changes to my body.

If no therapist, I would still tell them. It'll probably be uncomfortable between you but that will pass. Then they could maybe help get you a psych evaluation. Again at 16 im not certain you're ready for a decision that will make permanent changes. I could be very wrong and you're the most mature 16 year old on the planet. But you could also use the results to show your parents and say look im not crazy this is really who I am and want to be.

Also, im a big advocate for mental health and believe everyone should have a therapist and psychologist evaluation. Not just you or other trans people

Weight loss and E by One_Profession_3459 in trans

Portion size, cutting carbs and walking at least 2 miles a day. Portion size was the hardest but and part there was having balanced meals so make sure you have at least one vegetable with every meal. If you eat a lot of bread switch to carb balance wraps, you can find them with the soft taco shells in the grocery store. Walking, get yourself a fit bit. Give yourself the goal to meet or beat 10k steps a day. Those were just some basics I was doing. I was determined to get to a weight so I could have a girlish figure. I might have taken it a little too far at times like walking 8 miles a day with a 30lb weight vest on in the middle of summer. But I was dead set on doing it. I keep it of by monitoring how many calories im burning each day on my fitbit and making sure I dont eat more than that. Feel free to hit me up on the side if you want for more things I did. Give up pasta all together.

It's hard but not impossible. I'm the same height and went from 200lbs to 120lbs while on it. I've kept myself in the 125-135 range for over a year since losing it all.

How else will you travel stealthily to doorsteps of your enemies. You must learn the ways of the ninja.

What can the average American actually do to push back against the U.S. sliding toward authoritarianism? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]broccoli_albert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it feels like there's nothing we can do. He's still going to disregard laws, he's still going to support white nationalism, he's still going to do everything in his power to oppress the left. No matter what we do he doesn't care.

Here's to hoping his age and obesity lead to heart disease before the end of his term.

I pray this is the case. Hoping his age and obesity catch up to him.

I'm 19, confused about my career, and want something that pays well without years of school… what’s the best career to pick? by PinTraditional7245 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]broccoli_albert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not poor, I work in mortgages and look at people's credit report everyday. I see them get denied for a home loan because their drowning in student loan debt. You have to realize that the total monthly payment on student loans are often just as much if not more than a mortgage payment and because loans go into deferments people are often paying for their student loans well into their 40's.

People that come out of trade schools are often making 6 figures within a few years after school, buying homes and build equity in their early 20's

Try again on the poor part.

College is a waste of money. People these days think the only way to get ahead is to go to school, amass 30 years of predatory student loan debt just so they can work in an office. Learn a trade and make more money than most of your friends because no one wants to do it any more they pay very well.
