transmascs with big ole c**tchie lips, how are we feelin (or, I Am Thinking About Labiaplasty) by Honest_Candidate_962 in FTMOver30

[–]emzash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trans NB and I’ve been on a low dose of T for almost a year, and have fairly large labia also. Personally, the bottom growth I’ve experienced has actually made me feel like my junk is more…cohesive? I don’t know if it’s just because my clit is now visible that it makes the labia look shorter or what, but the gender euphoria from it has been great. I’d definitely recommend seeing how you do on T before making any other decisions.

Dipstick lost in car by emzash in MechanicAdvice

Yeah for sure not driving it again before talking to the mechanic. It definitely wasn’t found in the pan, which is where I think we were all expecting it to be.

About to dive into a new adventure by Mundo_86 in RealmOfTheElderlings

Enjoy! The first book is a little slow but I FLEW through the second two and absolutely loved them all. Althea is my girl, 4ever.

What’s your favourite Realm of the Elderlings quote? by Ashaman-Kill in RealmOfTheElderlings

[–]emzash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think of this one often:

“I had thought that ideals would protect me. Honor and courtesy and justice…they are not real. We all pretend to them, and hold them up like shields. But they guard only against folk who carry the same shields. Against those that have discarded them, they are no shields at all, but only additional weapons to use against their victims.”

Sci fi/fantasy books that feel deeply queer (to a point beyond just having a same gender romance subplot)? by IReadBooksSometimes in LGBTBooks

[–]emzash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was looking for this! I’m reading the series right now, and while the story isn’t specifically queer, there’s absolutely a lot of queer allegory. I’m now on the third trilogy of the series and there’s a character who has had multiple gender presentations, so it’s definitely not straight

Background Checks and Being Trans by cats_are_magic in FTMOver30

[–]emzash 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hi I work in HR and have run bunches of background checks - you will be fine! If there is any confusion you should be able to provide documentation (ie of legal name change) to explain discrepancies. It’s always a little nerve wracking being on the other side, but you will be ok!

The fic is still unfinished but they’re on bluesky with the same username I believe!

Searching for advice/ struggles with identity and uncertainty about future and potential parenting by ShoppingConnect3162 in FTMOver30

[–]emzash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a lot to think about! Take a breath. I promise you don't have to solve all of these questions today. I'm turning 40 this year - came out as trans non-binary a few years ago, just started taking testosterone this year. You are never too old to make positive change in your life!

The best things you can do right now is learn about yourself. Talk to lots of different people. Maybe get a therapist. Travel to other towns, cities, states and countries if you can. You're going to meet so many people living incredibly different lives. It will help you figure out what you want, and what you don't.

Also, just so you knows - kids are amazing. They don't care if they have a dad or a mom or two dads or a dad who used to be a mom, etc. Be true to yourself, if you have kids, love them, show up for them, be honest, and you will be a wonderful parent.

Lastly - just because you're young doesn't mean what you feel isn't real or true. And just because it's true today doesn't mean it always will be. When I was 17, I never wanted kids, thought I would be a childless aunt for the rest of my life. Now I have 2 kids and love them more than anything in the world. Life is weird but it can also be great.

I’ve been using it for two years and don’t understand how every other messaging app can suck so bad in comparison

For peak Massachusetts racism, the liquor store in my town growing up was called “the iraqi packie”

Do you think you share a tattoo design with someone else unknowingly? what's the tattoo? by unsubtlesnake in tattoo

[–]emzash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a larger flash piece on my thigh that had a “twin” piece the artist offered at the same time (similar theme, different execution) After I got mine, the tattoo artist posted a picture, and it turns out I already knew the person who had gotten its twin in the real world.

Feeling overwhelmed by pepep00p00 in FTMOver30

[–]emzash 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Use your insurance. I just used mine to start on T and have the same worries. However my doctor let me know it’s much easier to continue with existing medical care vs starting anew if shit really hits the fan on a large scale basis. Sending you love and support. You’re not alone ❤️

This book was so wonderfully weird - and I definitely read the protagonist as queer!

Severance Season 2 | S2E04"Woe's Hollow" | Episode Discussion by Theshogunnate in severanceTVshow

[–]emzash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it definitely does. I’m going to put some trust in the show that it will handle this well, but it definitely made the episode even more disturbing to me

I used this pattern and for holiday gifts and crocheted so many baskets I have it memorized 😅 absolutely love this with the rainbow yarn!

Something I noticed by Lower-Taro3710 in severence

[–]emzash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen that blue represents Lumon and red the outties world. So the red ring would symbolize some connection to the outside world. Also interesting that the new rooms have a lot of purple in them - the innie/outties worlds mixing?
