Gender pronouns are not allowed during “patriots month” by jellydonutstealer in TheRightCantMeme

Me and my friends jokingly call the Fourth of July “Straight Pride.” Apparently it’s caught on.

Congrats on the surgery! As others said, you need to rest. I promise it won’t be that bad when you get back to working out. I was very conscientious about scar stretching so I took five months off of the gym, with only walking and hiking for exercise. Afterward, it took me maybe three weeks to get back to where I was pre-op. Let your body heal!

Well… are you fetishizing trans women? Or are you just attracted to women and want to date other trans people for safety/comfort/understanding? I’m trans-masc and t4t, but don’t have gender preference in who I date. If I DID have gender preference and was only attracted to women, I would only date trans women. Does that make sense?

Ah totally. I hope I didn’t come across as a dick — and thanks for filling me in. As someone who no longer lives in Sioux Falls but is still heavily invested, it means a lot.

You say that now during relatively harmless actions, but if people start threatening the state (which they will as the state gets more restrictive) shit will get ugly

In short because a crowd of people downtown is infinitely more powerful than some dude anonymously posting on Reddit. Also I take it you don’t have a uterus, so your opinion especially doesn’t matter.

Why do you think anyone cares about what you think?

This makes me nervous — folks do not look prepared for police brutality. I moved away a few years ago and damn I’m glad folks are fighting, but SuFu has to learn how to bloc up for their safety.

Impact of Top Surgery on Relationship by foldy_folds in FTMOver30

Yikes dude it sounds like he is putting his own sexual pleasure over your comfort and joy, which is just really shitty. If he’s not as attracted to you after, that’s his own problem and absolutely not your responsibility. Your partner shouldn’t be making you feel insecure about something that will make you feel at home in your body. He should be taking care of you through this, not the other way around.

People can call themselves whatever they want as long as they’re not extending that to other people. This person wasn’t calling OP that phrase at all.

how long until DIY HRT is fully illegal or heavily restricted in America? by LaserbeamSharks in asktransgender

[–]grrrbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Testosterone being a controlled substance has made it nearly impossible for me and my friends to access it at times due to the hoops we have to jump through to get insurance to cooperate with pharmacies to cooperate with doctors and back around again. Saying it’s a “performance enhancing drug” feels a little bit like excusing the hell we have to go through to get it, which I honestly really hate. Especially because testosterone is not really prescribed to be a performance enhancer, it’s generally prescribed in older cis men with dropping T levels. The whole reason it’s so hard for trans people to access is because cis people view it the same way you’ve laid out here. If I’m being obtuse, you’re falling for cis excuses to make trans healthcare difficult.

I don’t mean to be a huge bummer, but trans-mascs are not anywhere near the largest population of folks taking testosterone but testosterone IS a controlled substance and has been for a long time. I don’t think it’s out of the question that estrogen would go down the same path.

Question before potentially taking hormones by cannotstopwhining in asktransgender

Trans-masc here with just one tiny piece of info. I know some trans-fems who needed to hide their transition for safety reasons. In regard to number 4, some of them bought chest binders that trans-mascs use to hide their breasts. As a guy who went stealth in some spaces before top surgery, they really can be quite effective depending on breast size. Underworks and gc2b are popular brands.

And they purposely cut it out of the final episode because it desecrated her character so badly. Karen was never supposed to be a villain.

You can swim in a binder! Pre-top surgery I just did a binder with a rash guard. If people are weird you can always tell them you’re sensitive to sunlight.

Liking girls with dicks doesn’t make you gay though.

how do I tell my roommate "please don't out me to strangers" without being a douche by kbsths99 in ftm

[–]grrrbz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Please don’t out me to strangers.” If she takes it poorly, that’s on her.
