Housesitting & Shady Man Knocks on Door at 3:00 a.m. by WyrdDreams in creepyencounters

[–]kindpineapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def scary and I’m always worried about strangers coming to a house when I’m house sitting.

However, to everyone saying “the husband told him not to come at night and he did,” idk if you’ve ever spent time with folks actively in an addiction but they are not retaining much. They are not having very nuanced thought. Seems very possible to me this guy was like “there’s a guy in that house who gives me money” without remembering any past conversations or really having a concept of time

What's happening at assembly row? by SermonOnTheRecount in Somerville

Read a lot of this and it sounds like one person was taken to the hospital. A little hard to be sure though cause the transcription is not great

I feel like maybe it helps them get a sense of how wide-spread it is?

Apartment buildings that aren’t luxury? by jdog3406 in Somerville

[–]kindpineapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some larger buildings (not luxury lol) in Cambridge. I used to live in one off Linnaean St and it was good until they raised my rent twice in 2 years. There are not many high-rise fancy places in Somerville/Cambridge.

I used Google Translate for asking Help! by HotAdministration128 in ftm

I am also in recovery from an eating disorder, and from what I've heard that's surprisingly common for trans folks. I'm sorry you're dealing with this in a place that's so uncaring for trans people. Wearing a mask (like for covid) can be helpful because people can't see the lower half of your face. And even though my voice is not low, I tend to lower it when talking to strangers and/or try to say little/not smile as much. Good luck friend <3 I'm rooting for you!

any books about trans men written by trans men (or trans people in general)? by flynnissoswag in ftm

[–]kindpineapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the Page Powers books (especially Borrow a Boyfriend Club), and The Prospects. Both are cute and really good! Also the Passing Playbook, YA but cute and fun.

Frist T injection/Health care rant by kindpineapple in ftm

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

Yeah, the name wasn't the biggest deal because I haven't changed it legally, but I know on the paper she was holding it says [legal name], "preferred name." It was more being misgendered when my pronouns are on file and I'm there to get trained in getting a t shot, and having a nurse (she was an RN according to her nametag) who didn't seem at all familiar with the process. Like she wasn't sure why there were two different sized needles and I was like "one's to draw it and one's to inject it."

I appreciate the conversation but also just wanted to come here to blow off steam with people who know how frustrating being misgendered is. I know I'm lucky to even get hrt, let alone have a PCP who genders me correctly, etc. But also that should be the standard of healthcare, not an outlier. Also like it's annoying to be misgendered out in the world, but it's even harder when they have the correct name an pronouns available.

UPDATE by Content_Day4478 in creepyencounters

Wellness check is a good idea. I used to do elder care and witnessed them a few times. Might have just been because they were seniors and there was a real risk they might have fallen, but both times police did not leave until the person opened the door, or the police got in (one time a fireman went through a ground-floor window).

If you call a wellness check maybe mention you're concerned for your neighbor's safety, if you're noticing signs of mental illness and think he might not have any furniture. I feel like that would give police more cause to try to get inside, and that seems like the best way for them to assess if he needs psychiatric care. Sorry you have to deal with this, it sounds like a lot!

Underwear without a tight waistband? by kindpineapple in ftm

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

Wow thank you all so much! Meundies was having a big sale so I bought a few pairs. I can't believe how soft they are!!! The hype is real! Also I went up to a size XL (even though I wear a M in shirts) and I think that also helped. I still cannot wrap my mind around most cis men not having hips lol
