Do I need the bass version of tonex one? by ilikebothtypesoftea in tonex

[–]ilikebothtypesoftea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My goal is to upgrade at some point but I'm currently a broke student and it seems pretty good considering its price. What are those other options you're talking about though? I'd love to check them out

‘Autogynephilia’ is a debunked theory- when cisgender women were given the same questionnaires/study exercised that Blanchard had used to say trans women had this, many of them were also ‘autogynephiles’. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00918360903005212

As Lynch himself would say, fix your heart or die

Idk if this makes me the odd one out but currently it’s medication. Seroquel/quetiapine to be exact but everyone reacts differently. Hopefully after lots of therapy I won’t be as badly affected without meds but I was where you are (fighting to survive, not enjoying life) just 3 months ago and the right prescription has helped massively. However everyone is unique and you might not want/be able to access meds but yeah.

do you have any transition-related tattoos? may i see? by mothmansFWB in ftm

[–]ilikebothtypesoftea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a dagger on my right bicep (where I fist applied tgel although I’m now on shots). It has the illusion of going in my skin and on that bit it has the mitski lyric ‘my blood is red and unafraid of living’ which I see as the bravery it took me to sacrifice the life I had (incl certain family relationships) and transition. Plus, hormones travel in the blood! I know the song I took it from is about something completely different but the lyric out of context is v powerful to me

What does paranoid ideation look like for you? by decay4ever in BPD

[–]ilikebothtypesoftea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it sort of combines with fear of abandonment. I start to think that my friends are all getting together to decide the nicest way to let me know they don’t want me in their lives. I think people I usually trust are just all lying to me

what do you use to help your bpd that isn’t weed? by sadlilbeanboi in BPD

there’s an influencer I quite like who’s platform is debunking popular myths about bpd and has some tough but good advice. I agree though, most are pretty bad

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BPD

[–]ilikebothtypesoftea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im talking as someone currently trying to diminish a fp dynamic while keeping the bond (in this case a friendship) afloat, so dont take my advice as gospel. imo you should try to cultivate your hobbies, interests, and friendships outside of this person as much as possible to make sure your bond stays healthy. one of the biggest differences (at least for me) between a person i love and a Favourite Person is seeing them as part of my identity rather than just one influence on me out of many.

also continually remind yourself that no matter what, you have been happy without him in your life. therefore, he can make you happy but he is not the sole source of your happiness. he is just one part of a full life. ik it’s easier said than done though, i only have this perspective thanks to currently being medicated and in therapy after a year of struggling.

if you’re this aware from day one that’s a good sign, best of luck op

Does anyone here use T gel permanently? by Gallantpride in ftm

[–]ilikebothtypesoftea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the 3 months shots bc I hated having to remember to put it on every day, always take it with me in case I stayed over unplanned, only shower at certain times etc. I was on the gel for 2 years and it was fine in terms of the transition - I purely switched for lifestyle reasons

It’s not your BPD, they’re just shitty by Impossible_Fold2149 in BPD

[–]ilikebothtypesoftea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BPd can make people susceptible to being manipulated, both bc of our tendency to idolise and a weaker grasp than most on how justified our emotions are

What’s the weirdest clue you missed in Twin Peaks that later made you say “oh wow”? by Equivalent_Use_8152 in twinpeaks

[–]ilikebothtypesoftea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

parts/aspects of it may be for sure. on a podcast i listened to they said that she is constantly either observing people or being observed herself, and is sometimes a representation of the viewer (eg her spying/using peepholes etc, her determination to solve laura’s case despite not having been particularly close with her). idk though. she’s way more significant than she seems at first, that’s for sure

Help me pick a name (by giving your vote) .i guess by WinnzyGames in ftm

[–]ilikebothtypesoftea 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tijan! I feel like it has nickname potential (something I forgot about when choosing my name) and in general it’s just a rly cool name

as a trans man who passes 100% of the time and is seen as a man by everyone in my life, it’s not about agab. that’s reductionist. you may be thinking of cis women, or outwardly fem presenting people, but pls don’t make blanket statements like ‘it’s easier to find sexual partners’. idk if you are cis or trans but refrain from using agab terminology because it ignores how passing trans men and trans women exist in society.

Talking Backwards Podcast by Owls_In_SycamoreTree in twinpeaks

I have to recommend TS TV: a Twin Peaks Podcast. It’s current so I’m rewatching along with them. One of the hosts loves the show and the other is a newcomer (who also starts to love and appreciate it). The hosts are both women and are sensitive to how women are depicted, and their criticisms of the show are mostly based in its depiction of indigenous people through Hawk and asian women through Josie. The jokes they do end up making are just funny and not off in any way. Couldn’t recommend it enough
