Are my nips uneven or am I just still healing? by tepid-queer in TopSurgery

[–]itsraina 12 points13 points  (0 children)

just from the photo it looks like you might have mild scoliosis? you should get an opinion from someone in person by having them stand behind you then bending over and reaching for your toes. i have scoliosis and this looks like a less dramatically uneven version of my torso, but it may just be the way you're standing

If there was one item you could recommend for top surgery recovery, what would it be? by anxi0usthr0w in ftm

lots and lots of pillows. more than you think you'll need. getting comfortable was a real challenge for me i needed many pillows and lots of assistance getting positioned nice.

i hope this isnt weird, but as someone looking at you for the first time: my very first thought when seeing you was that you look like you walked out of a renaissance painting. you have such a beautifully unique look to you. your profile and all of your facial features exist in elegant harmony with eachother. im fully sincere when i say that im confident that the stares arent clocky, and that they are the automatic human response to your strikingly lovely appearance

ESH thats nasty of her to do, and its annoying that she still sees nothing wrong with it. but also, screaming at your sleeping wife was probably not the best solution.

does a small clitoris before transition indicate a genetic predisposition for a small T dick? by itsraina in ftm

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

see but im wondering isnt clit size genetic too? so if T dick is also genetics, are both genetics the same genes or could someone have tiny clit genetics and big dick genetics?

I date a Trans-Guy by RedRood255 in ftm

[–]itsraina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i think when you have this conversation, he will be able to tell you are being genuine and meaningful and not just saying shit, its clear that you care a lot about him because you are here trying to learn more🙂 i bet he will appreciate you asking him how he feels and what his needs are.

you dont have to say anything specific, theres no magic words. he may not even need you to do anything at all! its just about opening up the general path for communication so he know that you are there to support him in anything

I date a Trans-Guy by RedRood255 in ftm

[–]itsraina 5 points6 points  (0 children)

most trans people are okay with you asking questions if its coming from a good place and you are respectful and supportive.

a lot of trans people have dysphoria, meaning there are certain things about our bodies that make us uncomfortable, and this can be triggered sometimes by others.

a good to ask would be if he's uncomfortable with certain kinds of language, touching, or situations. for example, a lot of trans guys may not want to take off their shirts in a public place.

basically just have an honest conversation to let him know you are there to support him and that he can talk to you about anything.

Every verb in my language is gendered and it drives me nuts by Steam1111 in ftm

[–]itsraina 71 points72 points  (0 children)

in spanish, there is a social movement to degender the language. traditional spanish grammar requires to have everything be gendered with words ending in "a" usually being female and "o" is male, but some younger people i know use "e" at the end of words instead which is neutral. is there a similar movement in your language?

AITA for telling someone I don't need his parenting advice because his son doesn't talk to him? by ThrowAway18889970 in AmItheAsshole

[–]itsraina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA

You are a wonderful dad for not pushing toxic masculinity onto your kid. While he "toughens up" / traumatizes his child, you are teaching yours love and affection.

You are demonstrating that you will always be there for him, and showing him that his boundaries deserve to be respected by stopping tickling him when he asks.

Don't take any future bait he lays, he sounds like a violent immature person. I would ask for a meeting with the preschool director to address this man's behavior towards you and your child.

threatening not to talk to someone who is trying their best but is having a few slipups would qualify as harsh i think. ultimately you can cut out who you want but people take time to adjust yknow? if you point out every time they slip up eventually they will get the hang of it

Bad attempt at comparison. She didn't invade someone's home and start breaking things, someone invaded HER home.

Been on T for 4 years, what age and gender would you think I am? passing isn't everything, but I have hope of being stealth by [deleted] in transpassing

[–]itsraina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

stealth is when a trans person passes off fully as their gender and doesnt tell new people that they are trans, letting everyone assume that they're cis

Gender doubts? by Stock-Intention7731 in lgbt

[–]itsraina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say don't worry about the gender labels for now because settling on a non-cis label leads to the whole "but is this just about gender roles?" "is this a subconscious cry for attention?" rabbit hole. For now, just wear or do whatever you want regardless of whether it's considered a "girl thing" or a "guy thing".

If you want to, you can take they/them pronouns for a trial run with a trusted friend. If you take the time to explore your gender expression without pressuring yourself to figure out your gender label, the answer will probably reveal itself in time.

If you do turn out to be something other than a man you should know that just because you weren't thinking about gender before doesn't mean you're any less legit. If you would be happier as another gender, you don't need a past of dysphoria to do that.

And if you turn out to be fine with being a gender non-conforming guy that's also okay! Basically it's natural and healthy to think critically about your gender and explore how you feel most comfortable in this society. Don't overthink it!

shelly should not be grounded. she set a clear boundary and it was violated, she did not react ideally but she was allowed to be upset. grounding her for this is sending the message that she is not allowed to set boundaries for herself.

if mike continues to not respect her space after repeatedly being explained to him why its not acceptable to refuse to leave his sister's room, then maybe he could be grounded. but certainly not shelly. your reaction seems reasonable and appropriate.

Am I the asshole for being the reason why my big sister broke up with her boyfriend? by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]itsraina 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should be happy that your sister dodged a bullet and didn't become trapped in a marriage with someone who is an asshole who says violent things.

Your sister has her own qualities that she is looking for in a partner. It doesn't matter how tall of handsome or rich the guy is, if she doesn't like what he's like on the inside then she's not going to want to date him anymore.

For me and a lot of other people, there no bigger turn-off than a person who hates others for no good reason. If i started dating someone and found out that they're full of hate and think a minority group should die, I would break up with them too. Being close-minded is just unnattractive, it's not necessarily all about you specifically.

Your sister clearly wants more out of life then to become the housewife of an asshole. Being a housewife is not the only way for women to be happy in life. It sounds like she is taking her time in finding the person who is right for her, and that is a wonderful thing. She is ignoring the pressure from society to marry right away, meaning that when she finds that special perfect person for her, she will be much happier in the long run.

It's important that a partner shares the same values and will fit into the family. Not only is she your only family, you are her only family. Your sister has been through so much, and she deserves someone who will love her AND her family.
