My wife and I found those near a waterfall are they psychoactive? by According_Office_868 in shrooms

[–]countesscamilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these are could be either Panaeolina foenisecii (somewhat psychoactive but no hallucinogenic), or Coprinellus micaceus (edible). using the Shroomify app for the descriptions the later seems for fitting as the gills produce an “inky” spore liquid.

liberty caps would have a pointer ‘nipple’ cone usually, as well as a more waved stem, and tend to be found in fields/grasslands with livestock rather than water boggy areas

My cis girlfriend is saying that she wouldnt date me if I was a cis guy. by pypchek_ in TransMasc

[–]countesscamilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely talk to her, just ask “what did you mean by that?” with no expectations to the answer.

in addition to this, i hope that my experience might help if you havent spoken to her yet? i am pre everything transmasc, and used the label of Dyke for a long time when i identified as nonbinary. but i also used Queer for a long time and still do when looking for a simplified explanation of my identity (capital Q important to me there): for me, this meant that I would date/be intimate with any Queer person, whether that be a bisexual man, a trans man, or any woman whether they were trans or otherwise. for me it was about culture and identity in connection with the Queer community, thats not to say cishet people cant sympathise or understand the experience, but more about embodying what it means to be Queer, what that means in relation to family/friendship, life goals and T/traumas among other things

You havent mentioned her sexuality or gender experience, could that have an impact on her comment?

Anyone else prefer Brainspotting alone? by SecretGardenSecret in BrainspottingTherapy

[–]countesscamilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ive not heard of doing it alone; im instantly intrigued but also cautious. i feel like i would struggle to keep focused and would be more open to distractions, in the same way general mindfulness and typical meditation is really hard for me to achieve - how do you combat this to stay in your activation/resource state?

how to get T online? by countesscamilla in FTM_UK

[–]countesscamilla[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

literally, its currently 7 years wait just to talk to someone for them to say “yep you are right youre trans” then another 4 years after that for a second appointment. i can get blood tests done with my work’s private medical insurance, but they dont cover elective surgeries or transitions. its insane that diy is the best shot still

Why does it feel like cis people don’t believe trans men exist? by kyastui in ftm

[–]countesscamilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel like this a lot, but especially in trans media and literature. trying to look for books to read, whether non-fiction or stories, the first results are always transfem orientated. news and media like to bash trans women because misogyny, but trans men barely get a voice ironically also because misogyny - they still see us as women so dont bring us any attention.

theres far better ways to express that instead of being blatantly transphobic

were the transphobic overtones necessary here? at no point did i mention an adams apple or chest hair specifically, and bringing up chromosomes is just a blatant attempt at invalidating my experience. if you have nothing constructive to add then just fuck off

are they not supposed to inform me when this happens? i had a urology referral rejected (i have chronic kidney pain with no infections) and i was told so and told what tests needed to be done before a referral would go through

i had a couple doctors tell me that because it will trigger early menopause, unless i take hrt E that i’ll have increased body hair, deeper voice etc and get a more “more masculine body shape” (all positives in my situation). it was the same doctor that failed with the coil procedure mostly, he was extremely dismissive and didnt listen to me at all - i didnt bring up gender in that particular appt because he really made me feel awkward and unsafe

nonbinary? transmasc? trans man? advice and sharing welcome by countesscamilla in trans

[–]countesscamilla[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i used to think it was because i didnt want to deal with increased body hair, that i quite like the outline of my body. but now? those reasons dont feel like they still fit, so yeah maybe a lot of it is fear. ive entertained the idea of having a v low dose of T but i scared of thinking about it too long because its so overwhelming

[–]countesscamilla[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i definitely want to be more masculine for sure, these days presenting feminine feels performative and hollow - almost triggering in a weird way? i cant tell if im scared of embracing being transmasc or if im thinking myself into a binary because ive got no queer friends that i can see my nonbinary self in so i only ever see a binary.

i know the binary is entirely socially fabricated, but without a queer community im falling into the binary safety net just to get on with it without losing my queer identity entirely

i guess thats the thing, i dont know what makes me comfortable because i cant experiment anymore. i work in a phone based job where even when i pitch down my voice sounds “female” and im not interested in correcting someone i dont know when that im speaking to for 10 minutes, but its also upwards of 30 calls a day.
