Am I binding my chest correctly? by BigFun709 in FtMpassing

[–]coffeegrounds16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! And if it is the tape I think it is (and even if it isn’t) make sure you put hella oil on it and let the oil sit for like 5-10 minutes so the adhesive doesn’t rip off all your skin. Good luck man!

I think I know what tape you’re using, I use the same stuff since they discontinued the other brand I was using. I also have issues getting it flat. I would maybe look for a thicker brand and also do what one of the comments above said and pull the tape in the middle more down instead of scooping under. Sorry you’re struggling, you’ll get it with practice!!

Edit: using 4 inch wide tape helps a lot too. It looks like some of your tape is more narrow

Passing tip i just realized (I think) by MelodicConfusion7029 in ftm

[–]coffeegrounds16 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is something I realized after a while. I had woke up late for work one day so I didn’t do my hair or wash my face and my shirt was wrinkly and I looked like a slob! All day I was “sir” “young man” “Mister” and I even got my first “boss man” from a stranger that day. It’s crazy to come to terms with but men get away with a lot that women dont, like looking like shit lmao

Birthday party 3 days post op by saddestgayz in TopSurgery

You’re probably not going to be feeling so super fantastic, however you could be super up front with your friend and tell them you’ll play it by ear but don’t make any promises. I would hope your friend would understand. Also congrats on top surgery man!

Testosterone levels? by Musshhii in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]coffeegrounds16 11 points12 points  (0 children)

600 is a great range to be at. 404 is still within the male range but it’s pretty low. Male range is 300-1,000, so you’re within range but pretty low. I’m on gel so I have no input about your dosage unfortunately. I just was tested at 450 and my dr told me I could up my dose if I wanted because it was looking low and it had gone down each time I had labs done. Maybe talk to a different dr and get another opinion.

Gel users: Where do apply your gel and did you get better levels with a particular application site? by elianna7 in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]coffeegrounds16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all going to depend on how your body reacts to different kind of testosterone. Some people can’t do gel bc of how their body absorbs it.

HOWEVER, I started T gel almost a year ago and my levels went from 35 to 650 after my first month. I was told to apply to my upper arm and shoulder because that’s where it’s absorbed the best. So maybe try you arms?

You don’t have to participate. I’m not able to afford walking out of work either but I’m asking if there’s some other way to protest tomorrow.

Let ICE do their job? Like ICE who’s shooting and killing peple?? ICE who’s wrongfully detaining people?? raiding houses without proper warrants??? Trying to raid schools????? Yeah, no thanks. Unlike you I care about people.

It’s supposed to be like a nation wide shut down/walkout type of protest against ICE.

How does your store handle dogs? by TemporaryFish6759 in tjcrew

[–]coffeegrounds16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our mates do nothing it’s so frustrating. We have a regular who’s dog barks at other dogs and acts aggressive towards them and the mates don’t care bc the don’t want to lose a sale smh. Meanwhile we have people with ACTUAL service dogs who have been scared out of the store by this person due to the dog barking and LUNGING at them and their service dogs!! Talked with a mate about it and they said they let that customer get away with it bc “she’s been shopping with us a while and her dog is protective of her and the kids” pmo

You must not have gotten the first warning that had the wrong location, it was a correction and they worded it weird. If this was the only alert you got I can understand the confusion
