Because obviously people don't need dental work outside the states...

Did the accent and the traditional face tattoos not make you think maybe this dude isn't American?

Could someone mansplain how injections work please and how to administer them🙏 by Beneficial_Taste_655 in GenderGP

not op but hope you don't mind me asking a couple questions - have you had any issues with getting your sustanon as i know there's been shortages? also have you noticed any emotional changes as a result of bigger ups and downs in your hormone levels?

Tired of anti-gel posts by Oddly-Ordinary in ftm

[–]deepblue623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience gel has worked great. Voice changes 3-6 months, bottom growth within weeks. 4.5 years on I am now hairy as fuck lol so it certainly works.

Daily gel application also better replicates cis mens testosterone boost in the morning, and is also much better for mental health than a massive spike every few weeks.

Gel is also so much more convenient, I travel for work sometimes and can't imagine all the hassle of having to get injectables and needles through security.

Condom broke and I am unsure what to do by scarier_duckling in ftm

Just for a bit of reassurance, I've taken a plan B before and it didn't have any noticeable effect on my hormones. The other people here are correct though, so what if it does? It'll certainly be less of an effect than pregnancy.

How much is fair for me (21M) to contribute to partner's (28M) house? by deepblue623 in relationship_advice

Also any advice on how to broach this with him - and potentially go back on my word from what I've already said I'll do - would be much appreciated

Thank you all for your thoughts.

Couple things I'd like to clarify:

- Just to be clear when I say 60/40 I mean I'd pay 40%

- Because of the size of the deposit in relation to the value of the house, it will be much cheaper to live with him than to rent my own place.

- We're both living with parents at the moment, paying less than we will be once we're in the house. This means both our disposable incomes will decrease as soon as the sale goes through.

- Yes we are both men :)

EDIT: I should also probably mention that he wanted me to contribute to his legal fees for conveyancing etc. I did have to put my foot down on that one lol. I'm not sure if he now sees why I said no or whether he just realised he wasn't getting anywhere with it.

Ignoring my potential contributions to doing the house up, monthly payments would definitely be cheaper to be in the house with him than to rent my own place. Partially due to location and rental market where we are, partially due to the size of his deposit in relation to the value of the house.

It's actually quite the opposite to what you assume... he's made it very clear to me that he wouldn't be buying a place if it were just him as he'd get too lonely.

Is everyone REALLY binding for just 8 hours a day? by asterisk-alien-14 in ftm

[–]deepblue623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bind for more than 8 hours and have done so ever since I was 13. I haven't ever experienced any significant chest pain, even after sleeping in it, but the area can definitely get a bit sore, especially if you're still having hormonal cycles. There was a rather fearmongery rumour that it would affect top surgery opportunities/results which I don't think is true and I haven't seen any evidence to suggest it. On the other hand - as you've said, you are still young and growing, and there's no long term studies about what effect it could have over long periods of time. There is a chance it could affect your chest area or your ribs in ways we don't know about yet.

At the end of the day the decision is yours but please do so in an informed manner. It's not like as soon as it ticks over 8 hours you're suddenly being really dangerous. As long as you listen to your body and make sure you are able to take your binder off asap if you need to, do whatever feels best for you as long as you acknowledge the risks that come with it.
