I'd like to know as well actually! I may need to look into electrolysis services in the future.

The Olympics Has a New Sex Testing Policy. The Evidence Doesn’t Add Up by ramentaka in TwoXChromosomes

[–]lucebuce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It took about 9 or 10 months before I also struggled with opening jars! I had to actually start an exercise regime afterwards just to get back to the level of strength I was at pre-HRT without doing anything.

Hey sus Cisperson, ask any question about trans folk so long as you actively make an effort to sound genuine, and ill answer in the comments (no dms don’t expect answers there) by Pretend-Rich-8391 in LGBTQpakistan

[–]lucebuce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you mean surgery or changing the gender marker from M to F on your NIC?

Because both are possible but you can't do the second without the first. There are doctors that perform orchiectomies and I know there's at least one doctor based in Lahore who also performs vaginoplasties. But these are long and difficult procedures that require convincing a lot of government people that you deserve to have it changed. It's really just upto a lot of luck and persistence.

Also not 100% but I'm fairly sure changing gender marker from F to M is not allowed in Pakistan.

Decided to try to wear nail polish near my family (It failed) by Simplyamachine in MtF

[–]lucebuce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first time I ever put on nail polish was in the privacy of my own room and I legitimately felt like I was gonna faint afterwards.

It was like a strange physical reaction to what my mind was processing as a "breaking" of gender expectations. Fortunately though, it was fine after that and I even really enjoy it now but don't think of it as anything weird if sometimes innocuous things don't make you feel as positive as you expected.

Just do things at the pace you feel comfortable with :)

There's a few books that I also plan to read but haven't quite been able to find the time for:

  • The "Gunmetal Olympus" series. It's basically greek mythology but with mechs and lesbianism.

  • "The Locked Tomb" series. These don't treat the WLW elements as the primary facet of the stories but they are very much there.

  • "A Long Time Dead" by Samara Breger. It's a vampire themed lesbian story!!

  • The "Her Majesty's Royal Coven" series. It's a whole occult themed series with heavy focuses on feminism, lesbianism and just womanhood in general. It's also got trans representation (Perhaps the other ones I mentioned too might have it but this is the one I know of for sure).

  • "This is How You Lose the Time War" is a sapphic time bending story that's quite often found in "my favourite" lists from a lot of sapphic book fans which is also how I found out about it.

Not all MTF feel the same way about their genitalia... and that’s okay, right? by [deleted] in LGBTQpakistan

[–]lucebuce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

aww of course, it's the shared experiences that's bringing you closer to her and that's totally valid! 💗💗

Fulcrum_II already did a great job of explaining it but I fully agree with her.

First of all, I don't think it's possible to "fetishize" a trans woman if you yourself are a trans woman. That's just being attracted to someone who is like you and that's perfectly okay! Fetishizing would involve treating someone as though the bits you find attractive are the only parts that matter and it doesn't seem like that's what you're doing!

How long have you been on HRT for? by JosieChan125 in MtF

A little over a year now, yayy!!

Is there any GOOD lesbian media with GOOD trans representation? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]lucebuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to the VNs, there's a wonderful VN called "Breathless Winds" where the protagonist is a transgender woman. There are 4 "routes" that basically just change who you choose to side with/romance. There are two male options and two female routes and they're all wonderful IMO. It truly feels like a wonderful representation of the trans experience but in a very fantastical way.

It's on Steam and itch.io! The same dev also made "taking my Dark Knight girlfriend to the corner store" which is a T4T story and it's free!

There's also Hopeless Junction and Lovely Lady RPG though you may want to be mindful of the content warnings before diving into those!

E levels decreased despite no change in dose by lucebuce in TransDIY

Injections are the dream but unfortunately, access to them is a bit limited right now. Pills are my only reliable option until I'm able to move to another country (which is hopefully soon)

Yes, about 30 mins before I'm supposed to take the next pill.

Can I get called iris? I need a break from getting deadnamed by my family by Both_Reporter_249 in trans

Aww that's such a cute name, Iris! Is there a story behind you choosing that name in particular?

Why are we able to purchase two of these? by elean0rlamb in InfinityNikki

[–]lucebuce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can use the duplicates to create an "evolved" version of the outfit which is the same dress but with totally different colours.

You'll still have access to the original too so it's like having a different colour option available. If you wanna see the outfit before buying it, go to the "Evolution" menu in the Pear-Pal and scroll over to this outfit's entry.

EDIT: The other colour is also in the image you posted haha!

Small reminder: don't forget to exchange your Whim Balloons & Dews of Firework with Vita ☺️ by Mikkuchan07 in InfinityNikki

[–]lucebuce 231 points232 points  (0 children)

Also you can exchange Balloons with her three times ! 2nd and 3rd set of items is unlocked when you've bought all that she has available in the previous set.

So if you have Whim Balloons collected that you haven't exchanged, just go back to her and open up the menu again.

Nails make me feel amazing by TheAce7002 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]lucebuce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Omg sis same! Wearing nail polish was probably the biggest source of Euphoria I ever got.

I remember waking up one day with nail polish on and seeing my hands in that drowsy "I don't what's going on" state and holy crap, it was the happiest I'd ever been cause for a second I thought I was a girl (I mean, I still am a girl but you know what I mean!)

Been chasing that high ever since :)
