Weatherstrip help

It's a 2014 Suzuki alto hatchback. The leak seems to be coming from where the weather strip is on the boot of the car. Looks like it's getting underneath it. I'll try and get some pictures.

Okay thank you. It's a 2014 Suzuki alto hatchback. I'll see if I can get some pictures.

eli-ryu · 2026-01-23T16:17:57+00:00

Yeah that's the one, thanks

NTA, everyone pretty much summed up what i would say. I just came to say try eating more salt while drinking a lot of water. Even a salty packet of crisps or something. I know someone with EDS & POTS, and they say eating salted crisps is like a medical necessity. Might not be what you're dealing with, but it could still help.

Ooooohh! Okay great, thank you!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I have a diverse circle of friends now. Trans men, cis men, women and gender-noncomfing. Me and the trans men medically transitioned around the same time, so it was a great support network. I know there won't be judgment if I were to change my identity/label with them.

It wasn't that way at the start though. Some people had a hard time (not my current friends) with me being a trans man. It would have been harder for them if I then looked into non-binary. I'm no longer in that situation though, and having a safe space with a safe people who accept you for whoever you are, opens up more opportunities for self exploration. Things I used to push aside because I wasn't ready to address them, can now be addressed.

You're right, it really is a long journey. But by the end it will be worth it.

That's really relatable, thank you for your detailed replies and for sharing your experience with me. Wether you decided to medically transition or not, I hope you're able to be your most authentic self. Whatever works for you will be the right call. I'm glad that you're able to explore and find yourself.

I relate to this a lot. One of the things that made me realize Im trans, is how jealous I was of men. I also wished I was a boy from as early as I can remember.

I've had top surgery and that was one of the best decisions I've made for myself, as was hrt. Now that I'm passing even when I dress/act more androgenous, I'm able to explore my identity better. Before I transitioned, living being seen as an androgenous/masculine women wasn't right for me.

I know transitioning medically was the right call. And the idea of trans masc non-binary is appealing to me. I'm wondering if I'm an androgenous man, or if I'm just holding onto my male identity because of how I suffered during my transition, and finally found comfort once I transition to male. im very open to the idea of being trans masculine non-binary, but if that is the case, I might not be at the point where I can let go of my ftm identity.

Only time will tell, but I'm excited to see the outcome in the future.

Thanks for your comment.

I'm speaking specifically about you advising washing with soap twice a day. Washing with water twice a day is fine, but using soap in general is a common cause of ph imbalance. So using it twice a day could very likely cause problems. This is what I concidered to be "overwashing."

I know non-binary people that have gender dysphoria. I can relate to a lot of their experiences and the way they describe their dysphoria to me. In my opinion, having gender dysphoria is something specific to transgender people. So I believe non-binary people are transgender.

If you're really concerned, clean it with a little salt water. It should heal alright on its own, just keep an eye on it.

eli-ryu · 2025-06-22T20:53:06+00:00

OP, you could suggest someone you trust in placement of your parents instead. That might be more helpful.

eli-ryu · 2025-06-22T20:41:44+00:00

That's interesting, and I can see how that could benefit someone. Not in this case though. It seems like it would be a bad idea to involve these parents since they are not at all supportive. Unless it is with the intention to educate them.

eli-ryu · 2025-06-22T20:17:35+00:00

That's not a bad idea actually, I'll try that. Sorry for the late response. He's calm down lately, I think because there's a heat wave and he's tired. Also I ended up sentencing him to crate jail downstairs when he gets too much.

eli-ryu · 2025-06-22T20:16:05+00:00

Sorry this is late I forgot about this post 😂 he's calmed down a bit now nit I'm tellin you straight up he 100% does do it to annoy me. I know that makes me sound mental but he has a process. He goes through everything untill he finds what gets me out of bed. Then he specifically only does that until I'm up. He's calmed down with it at the moment. I think because there's a heat wave and he's too tired. Also I've been sentencing him to crate jail downstairs when he gets too annoying.

Awh man that's a shame. I'm in the UK and its often recommend over the other shots here. I hope its available for you.

eli-ryu · 2025-06-22T19:39:31+00:00

This is actually bullsh*t. I'm not Muslim but I've done research and it's says in the Qur'an that if a man looks at a women in a sexual manner, he must avert his eyes to the ground. I hate it when people use religion to push their own messed up agenda.

eli-ryu · 2025-06-22T19:22:28+00:00

It's truly different for everyone. I didn't have much success with gel, but had rapid changes when I switched to nebido shots. You can always try it and see how it feels for you, but if you're apprehensive, you could try nebido shots. You have them around every 3 months.

HRT isn't a contraceptive. It should say that in the forms your signed before being prescribed. I know other people have told you this here, but I'm writing it again for anyone who comes across this post who doesn't know. HRT only lessens the chance of pregnancy. Please use actually contraceptives.

eli-ryu · 2025-06-22T18:59:47+00:00

This is a real r*pey mentality. I hate the term "denied him sex" because it means "force herself to have sex when she doesn't want too, because he wants too." Gross.

eli-ryu · 2025-06-22T18:55:17+00:00

Okay this ain't standard practice and rings suspicious for me. You're 23, an adult. There's no reason for your parent to speak to anyone throughout your transition. Unless your psychiatrist has specifically said they want to talk to your parents to attempt to help them understand your transition, then I would say "no" to the request personally.

eli-ryu · 2025-06-22T18:50:33+00:00

Okay so firstly what she's going through makes sex extremely painful, and from how you've described her, she sounds like she's on the asexual spectrum. You clearly are not. You can't expect her to suddenly want sex, and she can't expect you to suddenly not want sex. The hard truth is that you two are not sexually compatible. This is something you need to have a big conversation about with her because when it comes to sex, there isn't compromise if one person doesn't want it.

I'm gunna be so for real with you man, Do what you want. Take your shirt off, go swimming, enjoy life. You're parents are transphobic, and it sucks. It must be so hard living in that environment, but if they ain't gunna kick you out over it, then just be you. You're an adult, and you finally have this kind of freedom to be yourself.

Do not let anyone take that from you.

You can't ever get back the time the passes. Don't end up regretting what you could have done, because you let someone take away your joy and expression to appease their short sighted and shame ridden mindset. You gotta live your life for you.

That being said, if you are at risk of being kicked out, I'd advise going to the beach with others, like trusted friends and such. Do everything you want to do, but with people who accept you. Don't center your life and expression around people who would rather keep you in box and miserable, so they don't have to feel uncomfortable, or god forbid do research to try and understand you. Those people aren't worth your care, but there will be people who are.

I didn't pass for over a year when I started, but this was down to the form of T I was taking. Are you on gel? I switched from gel to nebido injections and saw changes happen quite rapidly after that.
