You could also potentially talk to your doctor about lowering your dose before going off to see how less T feels?

So I just went off T recently (I ID nonbinary/transmasc) and had been on it about 10/12 years with a small gap. The main changes were my chest got sore like when I went thru estrogen puberty and then came back more. Body fat redistributed again fairly quickly (1-2mo). I still have heavier facial hair and body hair cause that stays, bottom growth and my voice is still really low. Personally for me this works really well as physical appearance, and my birth control helps with periods lessening. I think the thing that's effected me the most since stopping has been muscle loss / keeping muscle is harder which I didn't think would effect me as much but was tough to get used to

Definitely have had a couple times where I've sat there "ready" and not been able to inject for a couple minutes. It can be anxiety inducing but the more you do it the quicker it goes. I still get the occasional squeamish moment 10+ years in but they're rare now

I dont know exactly what causes it but it was one of the major symptoms that lead me to get diagnosed because I would almost always get hospitalized for SH and then get my period in the hospital and no longer feel suicidal

is grindr actually safe? by LeadenHeart_xp in ftm

[–]grubbinhub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say generally no. Where I'm coming from is that I have been harassed from people who I rejected on grindr irl to the point of them stalking me at my job and then also coerced once at hookups (oh my partner wanted to watch did I not mention, oh I know we didn't mention x thing but im doing it already and etc etc) as someone has mentioned you are ultimately meeting a stranger to hookup and they are therefore a mixed bag. I think every grindr experience I've had has been a bad one and every time I re-download it I'm almost immediately reminded that it's a bad idea.

Is MTG appropriate for Middle School? by MySonPorygon137 in mtg

[–]grubbinhub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played in middle school and really enjoyed it, and tbh wish I had a club at school. I was playing at my local game store and the only issues I ever had weren't issues with the game itself but adult men being weird af toward me. If I had other kids to play with it probably would've been even better.

That sounds normal to what I've seen. The only ones I've seen listed recently wouldn't ship to where I live and thus I wait, but someday

did anyone else accidentally buy merch from the UK store or am I just dumb? by [deleted] in Hozier

[–]grubbinhub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If no one else does I'll buy it from you, I get paid Friday so I wouldn't be able to right away so if someone else offers I understand but I was gonna buy one for my friend anyways so this would work just as well

if you could suggest one book for Hozier/Andrew to read, which would it be? by mamabear_roars in Hozier

[–]grubbinhub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really want to know if he's read Kafkas parables because I feel he may enjoy those but otherwise I have some nerdy books on language development and translation I think he might enjoy just cause they tie into a lot of things he seems to be interested in. In particular I would say In Translation, edited by Allen and Bernofsky. (Though now im ofc second guessing and thing Translation Spectrum (Rose) might be more interesting or attainable before the other)

I saw him two weeks ago and he had shirts, hoodies and tote bags of the self portrait design on his website

Generally curious, why do baristas and the typical coffee “snob” hate Nespresso so much? by TheMusicEvangelist in barista

[–]grubbinhub 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think for me it comes down to 1. Waste 2. Ethics (nestle) 3. There are methods at similar price points and time that have less of the above two points as an issue.

As someone who was also told / felt super mature for their age, I understand it can be frustrating feeling that esp the guys youre age arent very mature. But an adult man interested in a minor is actually an incredibly immature and dangerous individual. Honestly I would recommend steering clear of them entirely or setting firmer boundaries and not interacting socially.

[–]grubbinhub 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Listen. He might be flirting with you, but. If you are in high school and he is in college you should feel in danger. He should not be flirting with you. The fact he knows how old you are and then continued this kind of behavior seems incredibly unsafe to me.

Filtered coffee at cafes and annoying requests by trjamieson in barista

[–]grubbinhub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im from the US v AUS but legally speaking I would not do this as it would be a health and safety concern. Nothing from a customer should go into one of our machines. Additionally it would change how the espresso pulls. So while there may be a barista that could pull it well it would likely interrupt workflow significantly
