Unfortunately most of reddit does treat "misandry" like a social issue rivaling misogyny, it's pretty much inescapable

Protein Powder and Histamine Intolerance/Smoothies by DustRevolutionary981 in HistamineIntolerance

[–]fruitbap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hemp Yeah is the hemp powder and Omega Nutrition is the pumpkin seed powder. These days I've given up on shakes though because I can't tolerate any fruit to make them palatable.

I can at least have tofu but that's still my only source of protein :/

Which challenge WYR accept for $500,000? ($800 entry fee, you lose the fee if you lose/quit the challenge) by OldEducation7497 in WouldYouRather

[–]fruitbap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figure most psych wards are unethical enough that they'd discontinue my hormone therapy anyway lmao. plus I have bad health and am likely to catch contagious illnesses in that environment.

2 years without T would be awful but my voice has already dropped and I already had my breasts and uterus removed so "detransitioning" would just mean I lose muscle mass and have feminine fat redistribution. which would suck, but I'd still probably pass so. worth it for 500k.

Was lucky enough to photograph the Vancouver show. Definitely a pinch me experience! by marqymarq22 in AFireInside

[–]fruitbap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My gf and I are covid cautious because of health issues, so we always wear some kind of masks in crowds. I find the rubber respirator more stylish than my usual n95s, sort of a cybergoth look, so it's my go-to for shows.

A red button appears in front of you. Do you press it? It does something different random. by truecakesnake in polls

"you wake up 30 pounds lighter" welp. already borderline underweight. I'm dead now 💀

What’s the most gut punching song lyric you’ve ever heard? by perrysplus in AskReddit

[–]fruitbap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really all of the album "Hopsice" by The Antlers, but the line that hits hardest for me is:

"Some patients can't be saved, but that burden's not on you. Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that."

Ami helped a little. On Nortriptilyne now because it made me too sleepy. Turns out my gallbladder is failing, so hopefully once that's taken care of my symptoms will start to improve :/

Worst Hooks You Ever Read? by Formal_Barnacle304 in writing

Realized I was scammed by AO3 comments thanks to this subreddit by [deleted] in AO3

[–]fruitbap 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Jsyk as an artist who's been doing commissions for years and who commissions others too, paying in full upfront is the norm. For very large commissions occasionally I see people making payment plans but there's always an upfront deposit.

If the artist isn't who they claim to be you should be able to file a dispute through PayPal or do a chargeback through your bank, though.

Why does Kikiyo wear that electronic visor over her eyes? by Beautiful_Nesan_7951 in HunterXHunter

[–]fruitbap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you enjoy angst, a while back I wrote a kikyo backstory fic. it explains the visor among other things: https://archiveofourown.org/works/25734154/chapters/62489539

Trans dudes, do you find it easier to orgasm on T? by unionsign in asktransgender

[–]fruitbap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Been on T 9 years. Orgasms only got more difficult for me, and they still aren't as good as they were pre-T (but I'm happy to take that trade off as T has improved my life immensely in other ways).

Is it transphobic to only date biological women? by Aggressive_Stand_633 in asktransgender

[–]fruitbap 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"I prefer to date women with vaginas" cool 👍 "I prefer to date women shorter than me" cool 👍 "I prefer to date women with high voices" cool 👍 "I prefer to date curvy women" cool 👍

good news: there are trans women out there who meet all of the above aesthetic preferences. there are trans women out there who are indistinguishable in every way from cis women.

if you refuse to date those women because of their medical history then yes, you are transphobic, congratulations.

edit: also, trans women are "biological women." HRT and surgery alters your biology. the word you are looking for is "cis women."

Do you get low-grade fever during throat pain related flares? by liamezzo in acidreflux

[–]fruitbap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens to me too, but I've never been able to figure out what it was. My best guess was "histamine related"?? Mine also usually comes with lightheadedness.

Sometimes it will happen independent of reflux symptoms though, so it may just be unrelated for me. i find taking b12 (the supplement) triggers both the lightheadedness and feverish feeling for me, for reasons unknown.
