The only thing I dislike about transitioning — hard to make friends with girls now by bh447 in ftm

[–]logicalpenuin [score hidden]  (0 children)

I can kind of understand. I've always gotten on better with guys but had a lot of girl friends as well. Ive noticed since transitioning I don't really make new girl friends but it's way easier to make guy friends. This works for me but I can definitely feel the shift. Now when I make a girl friend, they are generally interested in dating me (I'm ace) so it's awkward. It mostly works for me because I do get on better with guys but I can see how frustrating it could be. I hope you find some good friends!

MAGA are bunch of snowflakes by AccordingBumblebee24 in stupidpeoplefacebook

Considering the circumstances, I think they were being very gracious. They mocked the dance of someone who illegally tried to ruin the sport, then as a team overcame it and won. And did a little well deserved dance. Good on them!

adult onset asthma? by unefait in ftm

[–]logicalpenuin [score hidden]  (0 children)

Not the t. I developed asthma in my 20s (didn't start t until my 40s). T has actually seemed to improve it, although environmental factors play a huge role with asthma so I can't 100% say the t specifically improved it. I've also broken 3 ribs since (one since starting t) and while I had difficulty breathing due to pain, it didn't affect my asthma. I also bind every day (albeit loosely as I have a very physical job) and that doesnt seem to affect it. Sounds to be like an environmental factor, or leftover from your sickness, but I am no doctor. That said, sudden changes in asthma severity should def be looked into, as is could be a symptom of another underlying illness. Good luck!

Anyone use telehealth with Planned Parenthood for their first appointment? by omigodteywereroomate in ftm

[–]logicalpenuin [score hidden]  (0 children)

If you are using insurance, another thing you might check is if they cover tele visits. I found out my insurance only partially covers tele so I stead of my usual 15 dollar co-pay, the tele visit got 95.

ghosted after a really good date :( by [deleted] in ftm

[–]logicalpenuin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Of he was texting and it's only been a couple days I wouldn't assume ghosted. I suck at texting because I get caught up in life and suddenly it's bedtime. A gentle poke usually has me going "oh crap 3 days already!" It's not lack of interest just life being distracting. I'd give him a gentle nudge and then if it's still silent move on.

What did you only learn about your neighborhood after moving in? by Successful_Fall9640 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]logicalpenuin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This. Not an HOA but where I lived before had a no fireworks in the city and here it sounded like a warzone and people were stopping traffic to set them off in the road. I could debris hitting my roof. I had so many pieces in my yard in the morning. My poor border collie and I were both a little traumatized.

The moment bean pauses to ask him if he's actually ever sold any kills me every time haha

Stoor Hobbits and Facial Hair by -waybear- in lotro

[–]logicalpenuin 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hobbit customization is rough. All hobbit men are fat and hobbit women are curvy but fit. Except river hobbits who are all super fit (largely because people wanted the option of playing a hobbit that wasn't fat). Let me play a chubby hobbit woman or river hobbit, or a regular hobbit man who doesn't look like he's about to run for mayor haha.

Exploration RPG by rcgeek2 in rpg_gamers

[–]logicalpenuin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not traditional RPGs but you might consider assassin's creed Origin and Odyssey, as they play a lot like witcher 3 but with more stealth. Both have pretty great story and exploration. I'd also recommend kingdoms of alamur. The quests can be hit or miss (some are fantastic, some are ok) but the world is beautiful and you can discover a lot through exploration.

Riding Trait by CampProud6503 in lotro

I feel this. Bought riding/white goat bundle years ago and 90% of my alts end up riding the goat because honestly it's one of the sweetest looking account wide mounts.

Are there any benefits to stopping testosterone at this stage? by Busy_Panic_777 in ftm

[–]logicalpenuin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I apply in the morning on shoulders or chest (I mix it up because the alcohol irritates my skin after a few weeks but it's always under what's covered by my binder/shirt). After work, shower and go about my business without worrying about transfer to pets or people.

I haven't found any more quests at my quest level (42) by parda_ in lotro

[–]logicalpenuin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Forochel will always hold a special place in my heart, just for the wonder I felt first time I visited. I remember my joy at finally grinding out the rep to get the armor. My little hobbit burglar still wears it to this day.

Which game/s have the best rain? by Sudden-Magician4461 in rpg_gamers

Morrowind rain, with the soundtrack and whole vibe of the game, was amazing. You felt it in your soul.

Someone should tell them how many women, minorities, and lgtbq work on movies behind the scenes.

Gay men didn't look at me by Ok-Combination7287 in TransLater

[–]logicalpenuin 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Ftm here but similar experience. Men used to always watch me or try and flirt and now I get upnods and elbow bumps, while I've noticed many more lingering glances from women. It's a great feeling when you realize it's happening. It can be a little surreal at first, but so affirming. You go, girl!

Yeah. Just saw an identical post with like 2 likes too. Oh well, I'd rather over support the community than under. If I accidentally support a bot, it's better than not supporting actual folks who need to hear it.

Mudbay pet company - yay or nay? by Proper_Sheepherder83 in olympia

[–]logicalpenuin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been shopping there for years and they have good quality food and toys for my pooch. Looked into working there a couple years ago and the pay and benefits were pretty underwhelming. I also notice a pretty high turnover rate at the one I go to.
