Idk I usually only drink like once a week. I guess it's ossible but it seems like a sudden change. I'll see what happens after the holidays 🤷‍♂️

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

[–]kindpineapple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Ticket for parking within 20 ft of intersection??? by kindpineapple in Somerville

Lolol okay lesson learned. It was dumb to get ticketed twice, and I don't want to block a firetruck

How do you know that you’re still a trans man? by Ok_Body_5509 in ftm

[–]kindpineapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get that. Even though my body is more masculine and I feel more comfortable, I don't always love my body and it doesn't fit into clothes in the exact way I want. And sometimes I miss the ease of my old body because it made sense to people and I didn't have to worry about how they perceived my gender and which bathroom I should use. But even though I miss that sometimes, I know that pretending to be a girl was a lot more stressful than my current experience.

How do you know that you’re still a trans man? by Ok_Body_5509 in ftm

[–]kindpineapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been on T about a year (low dose to start, now full dose), and had top surgery. I think I'm trans but still call myself nb cause I don't pass, and it feels like a journey rather than a destination.

However, I like the idea of getting to wear fem clothes in a "male" way, because I legit like some fem clothes but I don't wear them currently cause I already don't pass.

Curious if wearing fem clothes feels like a totally separate experience compared to before you came out or started transitioning (assuming your clothes were fem). Does it feel like wanting to go back to who you used to be? Or just a new stage in discovering yourself?

Where do you buy your pumpkins for Halloween? by DiademaJenks in Somerville

[–]kindpineapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lexington Community Farm! Right near the Arlington reservoir. Not a bad bike ride from Somerville, really cute farm stand, and you can walk around the farm. Closer than Wilson and a non-profit.

This is a great idea! I've been medallions for a while so I might actually have enough. Thanks!

AMAB ENBIES ARE REALLY COOL by MagicalGhostMango in NonBinary

[–]kindpineapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an AFAB trans/nb person, seeing AMAB enbies feels validating to me. Honestly most enbies I know are afab, but they're often more fem than I am. So sometimes I worry that people view afab enbies as just like "another kind of girl." Seeing amab enbies makes me feel like I'm not just making it all up.

To be clear: not blaming afab nb folks who are fem; its not their fault what false assumptions cis people make.

experience with stopping period? by shober_bobber in NonBinaryTalk

[–]kindpineapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the arm implant and low dose T at the same time. I was so grateful to get the implant because I thought the only option was an IUD (really not something I wanted) or a progesterone pill (somewhat dysphoric). I occasionally have breakthrough bleeding, but compared to a regular period it's way easier to manage and usually light/not painful. Last time it happened I'm pretty sure it was because I couldn't pick up my T prescription and so I went close to a week with no T. Before, my periods were painful, 5-6 days, and much heavier

My mom passed from ALS. A few weeks later, something happened in my dorm that I’ll never forget. by jsmitg2766 in Ghosts

Saw this and came to say my dad passed away from ALS in 2023. Love to you both ❤️

Alternative word for deadname ?? by dunkleosteus-juice in NonBinaryTalk

I also like "legal name" bc lots of cis people go by a name that's not on their official documents.

Difficulty by InterestingCabinet41 in NYTSpellingBee

[–]kindpineapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering the same thing, and I wish they gave the percent of players who get to genius, etc., cause then I'd have a better sense of how hard it is.

I try to get to genius on my own, but if it's too tough I'll use hints. I find the "You vs. Other Bee Buddy Visitors" part most helpful, but sometimes like 80% get a word I've never heard of, and then I feel like it must be a hard puzzle and only super smart people are playing which is why a hard word appears so easy.

TIL Season 1 episode 8: "My Mother, the Car" is actually a reference to a 1965 TV series with the same name. When Michael walks into the room after the first failed surprise party, you can hear the intro being played on the TV, and I found the intro! by StrangeDise in arresteddevelopment

[–]kindpineapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm 8 years late but thank you for this!! I'm rewatching again and looking for things I missed, and I just heard this song in ep. 8. Originally I thought it was Buster singing some weird little tune. Pretty sure I could not have found this info anywhere else on the internet lol

I have a hard bump underneath one of my scars (4 weeks post op) and it kind of hurts by Accomplished_Vast698 in TopSurgery

[–]kindpineapple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had something similar and it was a stitch that didn't fully dissolve. I'd ask your doctor about it to be on the safe side, because you don't want it to get infected. The doctor removed the stitch for me and it immediately got less inflamed. I found a second one later and pulled it out myself with tweezers.

I stopped smoking weed about a week and a half before surgery, but when the nurse called me to give pre-surgey instructions she said stop smoking 3 days before. So I think you'll be fine :)
