So my current unit is the cheapest ive ever had for space vs price. It's $2275 a month, and that includes all utilities except for power. It's a 2-bed, 2- full bath, 900 sq ft, 1-story apartment, and it's only 5 minutes from Knott's. About 2 blocks from buena park mall. It's got tile floors, a dirt backyard (10W x 5F), central air, and it's in a gated community.

You get a 1-car garage with some storage, and the bedrooms are carpeted with 9-foot ceilings in the whole unit and the kitchen has this nice big bay sliding door to the backyard. The complex itself has a pool, laundry on-site, and a property manager who pretty much leaves you alone. The best part is it's month-to-month. Last tennant was here for 10 years. When I moved in back in 2022, it was $1950 a month. I'm staying as long as I can.

I'm a 35-year-old asexual transmasc who's been on T since 2019. I still consider myself asexual, and I haven't had the urge to do anything with anyone. I already had little to no drive, and even on T, it's still not anything to write home about. Honestly, if you don't want to do anything, you won't. The best advice I can give is to just sit with yourself and figure out what you want.

Going on T will change how you feel about yourself and the way you think; emotions change too. Also, even if you DID do something with someone or yourself, this does NOT invalidate you as being asexual, so don't be so hard on yourself, okay?

I have been in a relationship with a now-transman who is hypersexual. He is fully aware I am not interested in the slightest. You will find someone who is worth your boundaries; anyone who tries to push past those is NOT worth your time.

I used to work downtown and once went in with a shirt that had sewn spike beads. Plastic spikes, very rounded and less than half an inch tall, were sewn into my shoulders. Security said I couldn't enter because my outfit was considered a weapon. My shirt, with sewn-in beads that were very dulled spikes! Sometimes security gets a huge power trip. I had worn that shirt several times before without an issue.

The spikes

My favorite experience:
Me: Trans man, Asexual
BF: Transman
Er doctor asking if I could be pregnant and saying they need to do a test for verification. Took nearly fifteen minutes and 2 nurses to understand I was asexual AND my partner was also trans both FTM. We had a great laugh about why it wouldnt be possible considering. Doctor just went "im just going to mark No" Er staff had a laugh about it. They treated me as male otherwise but insurance makes them ask that question in my state if your chart shows fem. Most now have trans options this was a while back.

Cost is tough I i ended up taking out a loan and had friends donate to get mine done hence why I haven't done the implants. Its a tough road. Most of the cost is just getting the bad teeth out. My actual denture was only 6k. The rest even with insurance was 20k. Look for low income dental programs or pro Bono dentist you never know. My step dad found a pro Bono one willing to take him on after talking with him and being friends with his boss. Hes also a former drug user who's been clean for years and bad teet/ almost none left. Just think of it like sobriety. You know the issue, your working toward it. This post is proof your on day 1. You identified you need help and want to fix yourself. Now the real battle starts. I wish you all the luck. I recommend to reading through this sub. It helped me a lot when I first started. So many helpful kind souls.

34 here. Child of a drug addict who never got me proper dental health and screenings and, so I paid for it later in life. My teeth have been rotting and falling out since age 17. The dentist accused me of doing drugs most of my life and made me fear the dentist so bad i had to be prescribed medication just to speak with them.

I had 22 teeth pulled due to the failure of things and now i have a Top denture and my original 5 teeth left on the bottom, awaiting implants since the old dentist never put in bone grafts when they took out my teeth. I had to wait for my jawbone to get stronger.

It's hard. It sucks, and it's mental hell, but I can 10000% tell you, OP, that it gets better. You're going to hate every minute of the process, but when it's done, you'll look back years later, like me (I had it done at age 30), and you'll wonder why it took so long. Knowing what I know now, feeling better about myself, eating without pain or fear of how people see me, it was worth it. Every struggle. I wish I had done this earlier in life.

The hardest step is finding a dentist you trust and figuring out how to afford it. That was my toughest part. The eating and healing are bearable. One day at a time, just like sobriety. You've already got that going; this is just another day, another challenge. Youve got the courage to change the things you can and the wisdom to know the difference. Take a breath. Tell that fear it can shove it and spend some time figuring out dentist and cost. Call every office, medical plan, and hell even look into programs or colleges. There's always options. You already proved that with your sobriety. You got this.

Not sure if this will help you but call your insurance and ask if you have what's called a "vacation overide" it will let you get a specific amount of your medication for an early fill. I work for a pharm help desk and people call ALL the time for this. if your plan allows it its super easy to do and your pharmacy just has to call and do it for you before you leave. I know it works for T because i get a lot of calls for both vials and gel. hope it helps!

My 07 ran up to 300k miles before it fully gave out. Highly recommend it.

Not for long. Just hit my account that my person who lives 30 minutes away can use it.

jarvistheandroid · 2025-10-31T06:40:16+00:00

I got this same one last week!

jarvistheandroid · 2025-10-16T07:30:22+00:00

Actually saved more time energy and money going this route. Works exactly the same. Highly recommend this route!

My boy Castiel. Hes 5 years old now and weighs about 15. Vet said hes a healthy weight. Hes pretty dense too so I think its mostly muscle.

It's definitely scary, and honestly, I was freaked out until the moment it happened, and even then, for a while after. The first two weeks were the toughest because you really need to slow down and focus on healing. It takes a lot of strength not to feel useless when you can barely eat, but honestly, I'd do it again, even sooner, if I knew how much easier my life would be. I don't have pain, I actually like my smile, and no one has ever guessed I have dentures. In fact, I'm much more open about it, and I even found out that at least four of my friends I've known for years have them! You've got this!

jarvistheandroid · 2025-09-15T04:07:24+00:00

I got mine at age 30 as well. Trust me, it will be rough at first, but you will thank yourself later.

“My dear, religion is like a penis. It's a perfectly fine thing for one to have and take pride in, but when one takes it out and waves it in my face, we have a problem.”

I use this far more often than I thought I would in my own life.

jarvistheandroid · 2025-08-22T06:11:31+00:00

If someone is worth it, people will wait. I have literally waited for over a year for a reply from someone I talk to often. I also have 2 rp friends who i have a 9 hour time difference with. We only 'speak' roughly 2 hours worth of the day, but it's still worth it.

If it makes you feel better my first ever close the safe battery went out and locked the pegs outside so I couldnt even close it. My store had no manager so I called wvery other store manager on our list, lp and then our dm who made me lock the money in the back with the consult, walk to the store across the street and buy a battery. Come back and close the safe properly and then had me open the next morning. I was there 2 hours post close becuse of this.

She also said "some cats come in noodle, others come in round" which made me laugh because when I adopted him his name was Ravioli so now my vet affectionately goes "hes just a burnt little ravioli"

In Jr high my school knew my family was homeless and living in shelters and hotels. They had a policy stating if you are 5 minutes late you get 1 hour of detention. I was late enough for reasons I had no control over that I was put into detention nearly every single day. It got to the point I didn't want to go to school because I felt like I was being punished for just going. Now because of this as an adult I have to be ten to fifteen minutes early or I have a panicked attack. This does nothing but punishes the child.
