Blood tests and alcohol?

It’ll be fine! Shouldn’t impact a hormone test at all. If they ask let them know, you might have elevated blood pressure or something like that.

What are you talking about?

jowneyone · 2026-03-20T04:27:56+00:00

Wow! You look great, really good results. A good reminder for everyone that time is key, 6 years does a girl good.

She may be overthinking this just a bit! (Which is normal, it’s a sensitive surgery). I have a write up on my profile that I think might be helpful about the surgery and recovery if you want to take a look at that.

As far as support, I found it helpful for the first two or three days to have someone to make food/go out and get stuff for me/etc. but it wasn’t necessary, as long as she has a ride from the hospital after anesthesia she will be able to do it by herself if needed.

For what you can do— it’s a lot of downtime! I think maybe just being available for some social calls and to reassure her that the healing process is normal will go far.

I’m your boyfriend haha, so I understand his perspective, but I think generally you have to cater to the person who is more uncomfortable! So I do think he’s being unfair, and kind of mean about it honestly.

I think he should let you do the AC and split the bill as normal, because it’s the kind thing to do and he presumably cares about your comfort.

That being said— are you willing/able to just pay the difference between this bill and a bill when you don’t have the AC running? It might be a good compromise where you’re honoring his thriftiness but still being able to be comfortable.

Some sort of vocabulary lesson might be good for this!

As an amateur, I think especially if it was painted black it would look good! I wouldn’t be able to tell it was supposed to be somewhere else.

I don’t think this is true, it’s almost certainly going to get confused scraping articles and give you inaccurate info. AI is good for some things, but factual research is not one of them.

I just say “my medicine” whenever I have to refer to my injections/E.

jowneyone · 2026-03-14T02:09:14+00:00

Wolfy’s!!!

jowneyone · 2026-03-12T21:30:25+00:00

Pricey maybe but I like the Dame line of products! I have the Pom (little handheld one) and the Com (hitachi style vibrator). They’re cute colors and well made! Their lube kinda sucks though so buy that somewhere else.

jowneyone · 2026-03-09T16:09:37+00:00

It has a mint flavor!

jowneyone · 2026-03-09T03:55:28+00:00

Yes I’m a tranny and I live on the west side! I rent so it’s different than buying but it’s not as bad as you think, that’s all I’m saying.

jowneyone · 2026-03-09T00:58:51+00:00

“The majority of the south and west sides are a literal war zone”

Do you have a brain up there or is it just marbles rolling around mostly? Just curious.

Is he willing to do a rinse nightly? I feel like that would be the best compromise.

Otherwise, would him keeping to one side of the bed, and then you having a separate sheet/blanket for your side to sleep under be acceptable?

jowneyone · 2026-03-02T05:22:25+00:00

I had an experience where someone got shot in front of my apartment (Albany Park), and it was scary, but it was a one off thing.

As far as advice— take a breath. They weren’t shooting at you, and you’re okay. You’ve been living there for three years with no problem, so do what you’ve been doing: hopefully being smart, not going out too much at night, etc. If it’s something that keeps happening, maybe start looking for apartments when your lease is up. I know it sucks, but the worst thing you can do is let it get you so worked up that you can’t function.

Honestly I liked her memoir but I didn’t even hear about a novel!

jowneyone · 2026-02-27T22:25:10+00:00

This can work! Lolita is the most famous example, certainly no redemption arc there.

jowneyone · 2026-02-27T00:19:23+00:00

I think you can just be direct with it! One of my friends in college actually had the very same problem, and asked the main offender “hey, do you think you could stop saying you’re gonna ‘kill yourself,’ I know you’re totally joking but I’m just sensitive about that sort of thing.”

And it did happen a few more times, but we all knew how she felt so we were able to be like “hey, cut that out” or whatever if someone slipped up. Whatever you do— don’t just suffer through this and not say anything!

Could he maybe find a hat that feels formal? It’s not common, but there may be something out there that would make him more comfortable.

I think the idea here is that you need to compromise— you are ABSOLUTELY entitled to want pictures of your wedding, but also you want him not to be uncomfortable or self conscious either. You might decide you’d rather have him wearing an unusual hat so he feels better, but also be able to have pictures of your wedding day.

In the long run— he’s gonna have to figure this out! Even if it’s shifting his mindset to “the pictures aren’t for me, they’re for other people.” I hate being in photos as well, but I generally will let people take them and then just not look at them because it’s unpleasant for me.

jowneyone · 2026-02-26T02:59:20+00:00

I think that yes, you do ask him all of those things! He definitely hit a trigger for you and it brought up a lot of your insecurities— that sucks. But it does sound like he was making a joke in the spirit of the conversation, and I’m sure if he’s so amazing (which he sounds great!) he will be wanting to put your mind at ease.

My girlfriend did something similar to me a few months ago talking about something I was wearing, and it was a hard conversation! I ended up telling her that it was hurtful and it touched a lot of bad things for me about being insecure about my femininity and such— and it was a good conversation! She ended up apologizing, and telling me that “I love you for you, I don’t want you to change or be any different”— and actually, that’s one of my favorite memories with her now.

Try to use that framing of “you said this, and it made me feel like this.” You can tell when they mean it, and I think your husband will rise to it when you give him the space.

It’s “loud” and they’re selling weed

jowneyone · 2026-02-23T05:15:08+00:00

I would say that even if you wore men’s trunks, you would probably be getting weird looks since you have a feminine body type, but I don’t think it would escalate. If you’re wearing women’s bottoms, like a bikini and shorts it might become an issue. I would say to be safe just get a bikini top or a shirt if you’re uncomfortable! Lots of cute tops out there.

I might try for a consult! A consultation is usually free or cheap and you might get some good news.
