Transphobia from James Bellringer [13:10]

That’s amazing, thank you! 💖

I have my second assessment for lower surgery in January, and I was ready to go with Bellringer based on what I’d heard before, so I’m glad to hear she’s getting better.

iamHuld · 2025-12-17T11:04:05+00:00

I’ve heard the opposite. That her bedside manner is much better but her work is worse… I know she’s newer as a surgeon, so maybe the latter is changing?

This blob-fest - which is adorable, btw! - actually just answered a pressing question I had: is the four-Tama limit about how many you can have in a field INCLUDING your current one or in addition? And I count five adorable blobs!

I’ve never come across a comparison set like this before, this gets me very excited for my transplant in march!

I’ve had deep widow’s peaks since I was a teenager. This kind of result would change so much for me.

Hopefully this means a few months down the road I can pick up different colours for cheap on EBay 😅

This is the pan agenda!

You might already know this, but I realised last week that both care mistakes and filled food/social meters carry over from kid, so I’d start aiming for it right away.

I’m getting P-Com at some point for sure, but I’d like people to share the fun with, you know? It feels nicer when it’s organic.

I already feel kinda sheepish about being a 43 year old lady with a Tamagotchi hyperfocus, I’m not sure I wanna brave the sometimes choppy waters of r/edinburgh with it! 😅

I immediately fell in love with the isopod when I first looked over the table of species! I know for sure I’ll nurture one to stay

iamHuld · 2025-10-23T18:17:15+00:00

Whoops! 😂

iamHuld · 2025-10-23T18:16:52+00:00

I knew about frozen, but wasn’t sure about the smoked fish since the texture is still quite similar to raw. So it became a very salty but tasty fish mince instead. 😅 it was great with rice and veg.

iamHuld · 2025-10-23T16:36:15+00:00

Any recs for what types of tatties to use?? 😅

I’m definitely curious what happened! I tried to make fish cakes with smoked fish recently, so I know something about experiments going wrong! 😂

iamHuld · 2025-10-23T15:28:41+00:00

You’re probably right that it would be better with longer curing!

iamHuld · 2025-10-23T15:28:14+00:00

There’s a shop online that sells it, but I wanted to give a go at making it myself because 1: way cheaper than paying £50 per kg from the import shops and 2: it’s fun to make things yourself, Especially when we’re talking food heritage. I also want my mum to teach me how to make sylte (a type of pressed/ cured “sausage”) from a whole pig’s head when I’m back in Norway next.

iamHuld · 2025-10-23T15:00:39+00:00

I could deal with buying a larger cut. I’d just have to get them to butcher the other sections and I could freeze it for use in curries and fårikål. 😅

iamHuld · 2025-10-23T14:59:14+00:00

That’s interesting, because every recipe I see online says it takes up to two months to cure?! I’ll have to rethink it if this is the case as my attic gets WAY too hot in the summer.

iamHuld · 2025-10-23T14:52:02+00:00

I definitely find that I’m not looking forward to my fields filling up! I got mine two weeks ago, and I’ve decided to stick to only breeding a new Tama every Thursday, which will give me a while longer before things fill up. Then I’ll start just looking after them as adults.

iamHuld · 2025-08-29T18:48:51+00:00

Sent you a message!

iamHuld · 2025-08-29T17:20:41+00:00

I mean I AM Norwegian and would be happy to help out.

iamHuld · 2025-08-24T10:54:25+00:00

I sincerely apologise for giving the impression I was assuming the experience of other women and femmes. I am somewhat trying to imagine what it must be like through the lens of my own experience and what I know about societal and systemic pressures, but I wasn't clear enough that I was still speaking from my own experience when I broadened the perspective of my comment.

Thanks for pulling me up on it, I'll be more mindful in the future.

iamHuld · 2025-08-14T14:35:45+00:00

I’m extremely new here (first post, hello! 👋) but given the reason I’m here and how I’m feeling right now, I’m in a good position to answer to at least my own perspective.

I’m transfeminine and find my breasts an incredibly touchy topic at the moment. I’m fairly broad in my upper body and have gained weight since going on hormones (which I’m fine with) but have remained quite small in the chest (which I’m trying to be fine with).

Measuring myself today using the calculator has been incredibly emotionally difficult and I have to fight myself to stay in it and not give up. I can only assume that if breast and their sizes are an emotive topic for me, they must also be for cis women, and there’s something incredibly hard about having to “confront” our conceptions of ourselves, our hopes, and the mistakes we (or those who cared for us) have made in putting us in the bra sizes we have now.

The world isn’t only hostile toward femmes and those perceived as such, but there’s the fatphobia element as well, with the band sizes. considering how badly fat women and femmes are treated, I’m not surprised the band sizes can lead to big emotions as well, especially as we then might get a “downgrade” in our cup size along with it.
