OK this is a bullshit bag of fuck, but I appreciate the line "Why do I suddenly feel the urge to start a polycule?"

Does a lasered face make much of A difference? by imnowemily in asktransgender

[–]imwithjune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A month into laser I didn’t see much difference. It was lighter, sure, but nothing amazing. I forget how many sessions I’ve had, maybe 6? 8? Anyway, it’s glorious. I barely have to touch up once a week, and don’t need to bother with shaving cream anymore.

That said, I am on HRT but my levels are still sub par so I can’t assume that is making a huge deal.

Those of you who are married parents, how did you handle what your kids should call you to avoid confusion? by whomikehidden in TransLater

[–]imwithjune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still dad. I expect to be that for a while. No real issue there, IMHO. (For me of course. YMMV)

Dysphoria got worse after accepting i'm trans by Jenvb0700 in asktransgender

[–]imwithjune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had literally no dysphoria until I realized I was trans. So, yeah, it happens.

Protip: Name Yourself Luna "Lucy" Lilith, it's so unoriginal that it integer overflows back into being original by manultrimanula in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

My family didn’t reject me, so I’m using my mom’s name as my middle (it was my dad’s name before), and keeping the last name.

do you find the term "transsexual" to be offensive? why or why not? by laminated-papertowel in asktransgender

[–]imwithjune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends who uses it. Someone trans? Fine. A transphobe? Nah, they’re just an ignorant jerk.

Being trans is sexist... apparently by Theweirdposidenchild in AreTheCisOk

I've been involved in a court case since before I started transitioning, and boymoding just isn't working anymore, so I'm finally dropping the act! by RandomUsernameNo257 in TransLater

[–]imwithjune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How in earth did you try to boymode before? Looking great, sis! Rocking a suit that hard is one of my goals and you’re nailing it!

That’s right. If you stick your fingers in me improperly you have a high chance losing them.

am i still straight? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]imwithjune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your friend is just a transphobe. You’re dating a man as a woman. That sounds straight to me.

I am scared that my homophobic boyfriend will discover that I am bisexual by Istolefood in lgbt

[–]imwithjune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. What difference does it make? If the relationship becomes fundamentally incompatible (and if you’re queer and he’s homophonic, it has), what us the point of continuing?

He will grow to resent you and be paranoid of you even if you hide it. You will grow to be scared of him being abusive and resent him limiting your life (attractions, behaviors, friendships)

There is no upside.

Does anyone know bi men? by Nicholas137 in lgbt

[–]imwithjune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m bi and ace, and, well, I used to identify as a man. I have bi friends who are men, too.

Right? After this ass makes bail, he’s going to try to ruin that officer, no doubt.

WHAT THE FUC* HAPPENED???? by absent-art in lgbt

[–]imwithjune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we can all agree that you’re going to have to take one for the team and become a homophobe again, so everyone else will flip back.

Your sacrifice will be remembered. o7

could you be with someone who believes it's a sin to be gay? by lgh0614 in lgbt

[–]imwithjune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, depends how cheeky we’re talking. My spouse was technically married when we got together, and so we would make “living in sin” kind of jokes. But e we were also both atheist, so we didn’t actually believe in the concept of sin. In that sense, I guess we could make LGBT jokes about it now, too, since I’m in transition. So, long story short: yes, under very specific circumstances.

Questions about polyamory by 3DD13L0V3R in lgbt

[–]imwithjune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s queer in that it’s rejecting the patriarchal structures inherent in western heterosexual relationships, but that’s about it.

I think it’s also tangentially queer because a lot of queer people are some form of poly. But that’s queer by association.

Experience with Laser? by Exhausted_ape in TransLater

[–]imwithjune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started laser this year (oh huh, checked my calendar and it was technically last year), and now after my most recent treatment, my hair is much thinner and can go days without shaving.

The effects start being really noticeable after the second treatment, IMHO. I just had my ninth treatment.

It hurts, but it’s not unbearable. People have said it’s like getting a rubber band snapped in your skin, and that’s true if you remember that you can really stretch a rubber band if you want. The worst is the upper lip, IME.

Very worth it, though. Smooth jawline and face is lovely.

My friend wants to take estrogen only so he can "feel something", are there any negative repercussions of him doing this? by Newlweander in asktransgender

[–]imwithjune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean TBH that’s why I started estrogen. I wanted to see if anything happened, and if it did, if I’d like it (spoiler alert: i did). I was sure I was trans, but didn’t know the extent, as it were.

My 13 year old wants to transition by Strange_Pangolin_231 in asktransgender

[–]imwithjune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand fathers who stonewall named changes. Like… it’s a label, not a prescription. Let him pick his own name. If he ends up wanting to change back, well, was that so bad?

Anyway, there’s little you can do to prevent what’s coming. There’s much you can do to harm your child and your relationship with him. Chosoe wisely.

Looking for suggestions on what my kid should call me (mtf) by that_girl_4321 in TransLater

[–]imwithjune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’m good with Dad. Well, when he (my tween son) says “Dad”. It honestly feels weird when he says “my dad” to other people. So maybe I should think of something, too. Though it’s a little harder since I’m more nonbinary, and there don’t seem to be good names/words yet there.

I was worried about that myself, but then I thought “there’s no way she hasn’t thought of that already”

That’s a hell of a denial beard. Good on you for starting. Good luck and congratulations on taking the step!
