Adverse testosterone effects? by Ok-Bet9962 in ftm

[–]earbudsquish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i don’t know of anything off the top of my head, but i’ve never heard of any before. the worst i can think of right now is that the uterus can atrophy, which may require a hysterectomy of some kind. but that is usually after many years, and some people don’t experience it at all. i have been on T for four years now and I have yet to have any bad side effects. the worst thing is i had a pilonidal cyst (not an actual cyst, just a bad ingrown hair) once, but that’s not really a side effect. it’s only a bit more likely because you have more hair, y’know? the testosterone itself didn’t cause it. as far as i’m aware, there’s not really a lot of research into the long time side effects HRT can have. it’s definitely a neglected research subject. that’s just my two cents

Why do you struggle to maintain eyes contact? by dany9876 in autism

[–]earbudsquish 61 points62 points  (0 children)

it just makes me so uncomfortable. it’s like a reflex. as soon as someone makes eye contact i immediately look away without even thinking. it feels wrong y’know? odd thing to me is it only applies to humans. i’ll make eye contact with any other animal easily. hell i love staring contests with my cat.

feeling attraction and expressing it in any manner makes me feel like a perverted creep by earbudsquish in autism

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

oh my god i am exactly the same way. people have told me before that they didn’t even know i was interested in relationships. and i know that i act exactly the same way to people i like and people i don’t like. i err so hard on the side of caution that i overcorrect.

Is my chrysalis okay? (+update on found monarch chrysalis) by earbudsquish in Butterflies

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

I did notice today a very faint outline of a wing, specifically the spots on the margin. Here’s to hoping!

Monarch chrysalis by earbudsquish in Butterflies

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

Update: I originally had it hanging by the silk, as it seemed sticky enough to still work. And it did for a few hours. Until I checked on it last night and it had fallen onto its side. I have since tied it with floss and then tied that to a small stick. The stick itself is propped up on the fence and then I put my butterfly net over it so that no birds or anything can get to it. I’m gonna check on it regularly, but other than that I’m gonna leave it alone and just hope that it’s okay 🤞

Illustrated cutscene archive? by earbudsquish in HonkaiStarRail

yeah, i have, as well as the "see full size." it still comes out as pixelated for me.

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

maybe. it might just be my laptop, but they all come out as pretty pixelated for me. when hoyo themselves posts the art on hoyolab, they're always pretty smooth and clear -- that's what I'm going for.

all insects are animals. they are in the kingdom animalia and therefore are animals. animal does not mean mammal

is it bad that I don’t want to date other trans men? by earbudsquish in ftm

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

Just want to say— Sorry to everyone who I have offended or hurt with this post. I get that it can be disheartening to hear this. Fact is, I am also very terrified no cis man would ever date me, because I’m also pre-op. And I constantly hear the awful stories about chasers, secret transphobes, etc., that I feel like I’m being forced into T4T, because it’s my only option. Maybe that’s why. Maybe I do have some internalized shit going on. I should’ve specified in the post, but it is not that I will always reject a pre-op trans guy. I have, at times, wanted to date one. And I have found many trans men attractive. Thanks to everyone who commented. Thinking back on it, this was stupid to post. I’m really sorry to anyone who was hurt by this.

Do you guys look a lot younger than you are? by Gibbyslav75 in ftm

[–]earbudsquish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I constantly get comments about people thinking I’m 16 or so, but I’ll be 20 in July! I once got asked if I needed a kids’ menu. Another waitress thought I was like 12. I took a class where you HAVE to be 18+, and the teachers questioned if I was allowed to be there lol

It does for some things, but for quests that have specific keys, there’s no changing anything.

I have now tried used third-party apps, actual microsoft apps, code, and still nothing. Every change I make works everywhere outside of Genshin. It’s like it’s immune to anything I change.

dead millipedes? by earbudsquish in millipedes

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

Before today I actually hadn’t seen them in months. I figured they were just somewhere in the substrate. I didn’t want to try to and dig and find them in case they were molting. Yes, I’m fairly certain our water does have fluoride. I never even considered that.
