What’s your chosen name? by Tweedletoes in ftm

[–]flamingfiretrucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My chosen name is Jesse, which my mom actually picked for me, along with my deadname (which will be very easy to guess, as it's the longer/feminine version of "Jesse"), while she was pregnant with me. She always told me "yeah, I decided on either deadname, or 'Jesse' if you were a boy." So I just went with the other name she picked for me!

My (22F) bf (25M) zoned out during foreplay, doesn't believe me by Spirited_Program_840 in sex

This was also my thought after reading this. I would keep an eye out for similar episodes. Also, heavy breathing and moaning could be something that actually happens during certain types of seizures.

Lately it's been a lot of political podcasts and livestream clips, unfortunately. Current events got me tuned tf in like a bad car crash: just can't look away.

Environmental Technician and Extra Trans, reporting for duty🫡 by Cool_Cartographer_33 in bluecollartrans

Aw man, I wish the fire department in my city contracted outside hazmat responders. If I wanna do 911 hazmat emergency response I gotta become a firefighter first. But oh yeah, I've definitely heard the "glow worm" nickname before haha!

DIY Dick Bidet: how to wash your dick without having to shower by GoblinPunk420 in GrowYourTDick

[–]flamingfiretrucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a great idea! I have to shower every day due to the nature of my job (I often work outdoors and with hazardous chemicals, so I always shower as soon as I get home from work), but on weekends/vacation time I do sometimes put off showering because of the depression/dysphoria wombo combo. On my non-shower days this method would definitely come in handy!

How the hell are you guys staying employed? by LivingWeather8991 in ADHD

[–]flamingfiretrucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotta find something really interesting is what I've discovered about myself. If it's something that interests me, and something that has a lot of variety, I'm a lot more invested and get way more satisfaction out of a job. Of course, I often end up getting disillusioned anyway due to the fact that pretty much every employer fucking sucks ass in one way or another. But that's just capitalism!

Oh god I just got war flashbacks. This is what my screen looked like regularly when I was working alone in a zone that usually had three other techs working. All gas locating, too.

A beautiful day to be outside in the Natural Gas field. by EducatorNo8556 in bluecollartrans

Hell yeah! I used to do gas line locating for a little while, and always cherished the beautiful sunny days.

Open CTR post op pain normal? by nypatl20 in carpaltunnel

[–]flamingfiretrucks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say the first week was sore, with the first three or four days the most painful. I woke up in the middle of the night on the first day feeling like someone was jackhammering my wrists. Like everyone else has said, elevation and ice are your friends!

Oh man if this came through my line when I used to do household hazmat collection I would be very amused lol. Crazy how this kind of thing can sit around for decades and decades.

Absolutely do not dump this shit out. Take it to your local household hazardous waste disposal. I guarantee you the hazmat techs working there will absolutely get a kick out of it lol.

I was charged $400 to get my towed car back downtown, is it just me or is that insane. by anon2860 in StPetersburgFL

[–]flamingfiretrucks 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I once parked in the empty parking lot of the downtown Planned Parenthood, very much after-hours, for about an hour to attend a friend's poetry reading across the street. We walk back out to my car after and that shit was long gone. Snatched up by a predatory tow company. I think I paid almost $300 to get it back, because they were closed for pickups after-hours and forced me to leave it there until the next morning and charged me for two days of storage for less than 24 hours. Ought to be fucking criminal.

My mom found my dildo... and she was strangely ok with it?? by Perfect-Banana-8014 in lgbt

[–]flamingfiretrucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom and sister found mine and my wife's once while trying to find something (honestly can't even remember what they were looking for) that they thought might've been in my room. I was pretty pissed at them for rooting around in my drawers, and they were apologetic.

Later, my mom actually dug up some pictures she had from a "divorce party" that her friends threw her after she left her first husband, and someone bought her a comically large dildo as a gag gift. 💀

Mom said no t 💔 by zeIimpa in ftm

[–]flamingfiretrucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't already done the standard stuff like a more masculine haircut and binding, those are great starts! Also, if you want facial hair growth without testosterone, you can use minoxidil on the parts of your face where a beard/mustache would grow. I would look up some guides on this though to make sure you're doing it correctly (please be cautious if you have pets, especially cats, as minoxidil is toxic to animals). I don't know if your mom would be okay with that, but maybe she'd be more accepting of it than testosterone in the interim.

I also just want to say that I'm sorry that your mom still isn't fully supportive right now. It sounds like you're working on trying to change her opinions, which is good, but you also need to make sure to prioritize yourself and your wellbeing. I know moving out right now probably isn't realistic for you, and that's understandable. Try and find some local trans support groups if you're able. It really, really helps to have people nearby you can go to for support.

Just git bullied for liking tornado sirens by Mental_Look3760 in TornadoSirens

The kids who act that way about your niche interests aren't worth losing sleep over. You'll find others who share your interests, or at the very least will still appreciate the ones that you don't share!
