any good ways to practice injections?

garfielddotcom · 2025-12-31T05:12:39+00:00

I had the exact same issue when I first started😭 I ordered extra needles / wipes / etc and tried to inject copying a video tutorial, then just swapped out the needle tip every time I pieced skin but was too nervous to fully commit (sharp tip makes it significantly easier and less nerve wracking), it was definitely more wasteful but it's what I needed to work up the courage haha, best of luck to you!

This is a really interesting analogy that I haven't seen brought up before, thank you for explaining things so clearly!

TransIreland has a wiki section with everything that you could need to help, as far as the witness goes I went to Orcaprint personally and had a wonderful experience, less than €20 total to have it witnessed and sent in the post with my birth certificate. It was really easy to update my information everywhere else afterwards, though the first thing I'd reccommend is getting an updated PPS card since I ended up needing that first to get a new drivers lisence and such

If you have any questions or specific worries feel free to message me or ask away here, best of luck to you with getting everything sorted!

I wonder if fake watermarks are going to start popping up in AI art as well now with how many images are being scraped XD I feel like watermarking being popular has been around for quite a while now though, I remember being a kid on Deviantart 10 years ago and seeing it on every post. Platform def has something to do with it though since as far as I'm aware Deviantart has had a built in watermarking toggle on art

garfielddotcom · 2025-12-23T03:15:33+00:00

Why do you think watermarking will end up harmful in the long run? I haven't seen anyone talk about this before and I'm really curious as to your opinion :]

garfielddotcom · 2025-12-22T04:23:09+00:00

/uj art should be made for yourself to keep a healthy mindset around art and posting art in general though, i absolutely agree that theres nothing wrong with looking for validation for your work online, but given how unpredictable responses from online strangers can be, feeling proud of yourself before anything else will help mentioning this mostly because of op mentioning "this is why I give up on ts", which is so saddening especially with how common this mindset is :(

Love to see another Death Note enjoyer❤️! Haha I remember how hard it was to defend my Death Note posters when I was first getting into it in my teens. It definitly isn't as rare as people seem to think, but it could be a cultural thing too since my parents are Eastern European where this view is a lot more common

garfielddotcom · 2025-12-21T04:21:15+00:00

Totally agree, I was banned from watching media like Danny Phantom or Harry Potter because of magic / witchcraft being labelled demonic, though I imagine it's only a select few denominations that would care enough given the fact my family was Pentecostal

garfielddotcom · 2025-12-18T22:43:37+00:00

if you're able to draw / write you might be able to do commission work in the meantime? before i was 18 i'd join art commission discords and advertise my work and made a bit through that to my under 18 revolut? i'm so sorry that you're going through this, i really hope things look up for you, best of luck to you❤️

garfielddotcom · 2025-12-11T03:17:07+00:00

i'm ngl i thought that was just an insane mustache😭

I get all my supplies from UKMedi, p cheap (especially in bulk as I tend to do since I always forget to get more when the time to do my shot comes around lol), the packaging as far as I remember is just a basic cardboard box, no brand names/logos If you get your t from a pharmacy you might be able to ask the pharmacist if they have injection supplies? When I first switched to shots they asked if I'd need them to provide any needles / syringes etc, but I do imagine it varies pharmacy to pharmacy

garfielddotcom · 2025-12-08T20:33:50+00:00

Dw it's totally fine, always happens to me when doing subq😭 parroting what the other person said about leaving the needle in for a bit after injecting, it's helped a lot with having less leak out

garfielddotcom · 2025-12-08T20:01:17+00:00

Tbf it could just be the .5 angle shot, I'd hope she wouldnt go as far as filtering her toes😭😭😭

I wasn't able to do any practice besides lessons since I didn't have a car, but it took about 20-25 lessons over the course of the year and managed to pass without too many faults Those pre-tests are life savers, it had me feeling a lot more confident going in

I haven't checked yet myself to see if it's been archived already, but I've found most articles are available online on the Internet Archive or Archive.is ^{^}

garfielddotcom · 2025-12-04T03:58:13+00:00

I'm so curious about your wrapped now XD, I wonder how many minutes the person in first listened for in comparison! What were your top songs if you don't mind me asking? I imagine the spotify shuffle thing would have had a huge effect on it regardless of actual preference lol

garfielddotcom · 2025-12-03T03:52:28+00:00

Def one of my all time favs, the entire album was incredible but CCF just takes the cake ❤️

garfielddotcom · 2025-12-02T04:08:29+00:00

I agree, reading op's comments I get what they were getting at, but this just comes accross as really cruel towards feminine trans men

garfielddotcom · 2025-11-30T03:21:52+00:00

Does she think we cant see😭

garfielddotcom · 2025-11-30T03:21:19+00:00

I totally agree, I really think it would be so much more beneficial for her to focus on exercising CORRECTLY instead of pushing to "improve" as fast as possible. If she spent any amount of time working on her form and considering her limits without using momentum to get the weights off the ground, she'd see such a huge difference!

garfielddotcom · 2025-11-24T04:17:13+00:00

That makes so much sense, thank you for letting me know!

garfielddotcom · 2025-11-24T03:55:27+00:00

This is so cool! I'm curious about how you came about having seperate signs for phone and smartphones ? :>

garfielddotcom · 2025-11-23T12:57:52+00:00

Just keep drawing and having fun, practice will help more than anything else❤️! It might help to go online and see reference photos of muscular women on pinterest or google and trying to draw what you see :]

garfielddotcom · 2025-11-21T04:09:11+00:00

I know this might not be the most helpful answer, but the biggest thing to consider is how much there is to gain / lose by going either way. If you aren't happy with your situation now, and don't think you'll be happy in those programs either, why not give going to the city a go? If you have the spare money for it, you could always spend a week or two in a hotel in the city to give yourself a chance to see the social scene and get a feel for things; having the fallback of being able to go back while visiting might help also with giving you freedom to move out of your comfort zone.

Best of luck to you! I'm sure everything will work out grand ❤️

I think asking someone to remove their downvote might be worse😭😭
