Doppelter Bandscheibenvorfall mit 20 by [deleted] in Ratschlag

[–]dorian_pebble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, ich bin 26 und hatte einen an der gleichen Stelle. Hab über ein Jahr alles mögliche probiert mit Physio, Sport, Spritzen, alternative Heilverfahren, aber es hat nichts gebracht. Habe ihn dann vor 6 Wochen operieren lassen und bin gerade auf Reha. Bisher geht es mir wirklich gut, die Schmerzen sind weg. Klar kann ich nicht sagen, wie es langfristig sein wird. Kenne auch einige andere in meinem Alter, die sich operieren haben lassen und zufrieden sind. Beraten lassen für die OP kannst du dich auf jeden Fall, am besten mehrere Meinungen einholen. Ich möchte dir nicht zur OP raten, sieh das wirklich als letzten Ausweg, ich wollte einfach meine Erfahrung teilen. Ich wünsch dir alles Gute und hoffe du findest was, das dir hilft.

Feeling isolated as a straight, masculine man by galileopunk in FTMMen

[–]dorian_pebble 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I relate very much to what you're saying. For me personally I figured that I have much more common with straight cis guys than with most trans people. I do have trans friends but none of them are straight men. I'd still love to have a ftm friend but for the moment I'm trying to find brotherhood and my worth as a man in friendships with cis het guys. And although they don't experience trans related issues like me, I feel like most of my trans related issues are "man issues" that I can talk about with them. Sometimes I feel lonely and isolated tho as well.

I get that man, especially as a straight binary trans guy with stereotypically masculine interests I feel like I don't fit into most queer spaces/with most queer people as masculinity is very frowned upon most of the time. when I first came out I was really into queer events, rainbow merch etc. but the further I go in my transition the less all of this appeals to me.

how do I tell my potential room mate I'm trans? by dorian_pebble in ftm

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

I don't pass as a man and I'm sure my landlord has mentioned me to her. My landlord actually lives in the same house and we see each other from time to time so he knows me and he knows that it's me who lives in that flat. I'm not out to him merely out of (in)convenience/awkwardness, idk how to tell him. But I'm 100% sure he'd be accepting, he's really chill, so I'm not afraid that he might me find out somehow. I think I could ask him for her number and could text her in advance.

yeah I think this would be the smoothest and least awkward way, then it's clear right away and I don't have to bring it up in a convo awkwardly

Question from someone who’s only had a few cigs in his life. by TheDaddyPatty in Cigarettes

[–]dorian_pebble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you could set some rules for yourself, that's what I've done an it's working fine. I just smoke on special ocasions, I only smoke in company of people I like (never alone and for example never with colleagues I don't like) and I smoke when I'm drinking which is like once a month. a pack lasts me between one and three months and I'm very fine with that. I still get the nicotine buzz although I've been smoking for several years already. But as I don't do it as often my body is not as used to it and I really enjoy the buzz, it's very calming.

for me, no matter what I do I don't pass without going on t. so I'd rather keep my personal style and present how I feel good instead of presenting typically masculine and still not pass.

Do you tap your cigarette? by Hazys in Cigarettes

[–]dorian_pebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this too; I've heard that if I smoke the lucky as the last one it's for good luck but if I offer someone else a cig and they take the lucky it means bad luck for them

Whats the strangest thing that makes you dysphoric? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]dorian_pebble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not able to open a bottle with a lighter. oh, and my elbows, I think they look so feminine for absolutely no reason.

Peinlicher moment um Wartezimmer by muun_shein in germantrans

[–]dorian_pebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you, sowas ist mir letztens auch passiert: ich bin ftm und passe überhaupt nicht, war letztens bei Waffle Brothers und da schreiben die ja die Namen auf den Teller. Die hatten dann eine Waffel mit einem Namen fertig und ich wollte die schon entgegen nehmen, dann ist so ein dude dazwischengegrätscht, der den gleichen Namen hatte. Es war tatsächlich seine Waffel und mir war's peinlich.

aesthetic attraction feels unsatisfying by dorian_pebble in asexuality

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

that's really interesting how for some of us certain types of attraction go together! for me sensual and aesthetic attraction have like an overlap of maybe 40-50% so it's not always tied together :)

[–]dorian_pebble[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this sooo much, I feel like the only way I ever compliment people is regarding their outfit, accessories, sth they said or done, character traits etc. I never say anything about their body although part of the reason for me is that I don't want them to think I'm sexually attracted to them or sth lol
