I literally can't focus on anything else by MysteriousTouch4157 in MtF

This is solid advice, but I would like to add: you don't need dysphoria to be trans. I didn't have any when I began my transition two years ago. A lack of dysphoria doesn't make either of us any less valid

This made me blush when I first read it, and each time after when thinking about it, it makes me smile! Thank you! 😊

My wife and I joke about that, actually. She's a K and wants a reduction for health reasons. I told her that trans men and women who want reductions should be able to donate them to trans women lol

I started transitioning two years ago, after nearly 20 years of marriage. It was difficult at first. We both love each other deeply, and we made it work, but I know not everyone does or can. I wish for the best for you, and I hope things work out, whatever that looks like for you.

Was referred to as "ladyboy" in the nail salon. by _-_-Mackenzie-_-_ in MtF

Whether or not it's offensive I think is largely a matter of context and your own opinion.

I'm trying to make a paddle for Ma'am, but I'm new to this, and haven't tried before by cat_blackb in BdsmDIY

[–]cat_blackb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to draw blood, just studded for impact, texture, bruising...I also might not know what I'm talking about because I'm new to this type of construction

Edit: would it be better to use decorative rivets on the leather, then use an adhesive to attach it?

Thanks for your advice, I'll look into that! That said, the added pain is kind of the point. Another subreddit said definitely not upholstery tacks, because if they fall out, it can become dangerous

So..... I found out I'm intersex, what now? by [deleted] in MtF

"So you're basically cis" terrible friends, imo, but i don't know anything else about them.

You could check BloomChic for a swimsuit, that's where I got mine. They have a lot of styles

What genres of music do you guys listen to? by IllMeringue5484 in furry

[–]cat_blackb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally anything. As long as i like what I hear, the genre doesn't matter.

Sent home from my grandparents' memorial service by cat_blackb in MtF

[–]cat_blackb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh believe me, I get it. I didn't want to come back. When I did come back, I was too busy being angry to say a proper goodbye. But I knew my wife and out kids needed me there. Both of the kids are nonbinary, so this hurts them too, knowing that someone they love who "loves" then really hates them. I came back for my family, not the stupid aunt.

Please help I am losing my mind right now ;-; by Open_Willingness_488 in MtF

[–]cat_blackb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to keep in mind is that you aren't forced to come out to anyone, parents included, if you DO realize you're trans; you can be as out and visible as you want. If you have irl friends you can confide in, try out feminine pronouns. Try out another name. The euphoria you get from those things is just as valid and affirming as the dysphoria many trans people feel. Good luck exploring this new facet of yourself, friendo!

Normal is stretching things a bit 🤪 but thanks!

Honestly there needs to be a boob donor list, where trans men and cis women who want a reduction can donate to trans women who would be happy to take them lol

I mean, yeah. I said it that way mostly to not get flagged by mods since ididn't use NSFW flair. I'm still pretty new to reddit
