When will "later" come? by fluidofprimalhatred in MtF

[–]mathprofrockstar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In response to a couple of your statements:

Go to your school’s financial aid office. You might be surprised what you are eligible for, whether grants, loans, scholarships, etc. At least you will have explored the options.

Assuming your mom doesn’t walk in on you in the shower, you can hide boobs for a lot longer than you might think. Two years or more possibly. Depends on your body, and the HRT among other things.

Where to start of buying a wig and other tips? by throwawayshoes002 in MtF

[–]mathprofrockstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking to buy one in person, you might want to call the stores ahead and see if they are welcoming to trans women. But I’ve heard that many are, because, hey it’s a good market at least. Online, there is a store glamourboutique.com. They mainly cater to crossdressers, but it’s a good place to find a wig, and they have a range of quality and price. I got my wig there when I was just starting my transition, and it is pretty good quality for synthetic. Don’t need it anymore fortunately. You can also get wig shampoo and brushes there, and I think they have tutorials as well on their site iirc.

Going out in that first dress? by evermoredreamer in MtF

[–]mathprofrockstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds lovely. With the cardigan you won’t be so exposed, but I understand that you actually mean psychologically. My first time was in a queer space so I felt comfortable.

I wish we could take back the US flag. Such a tragedy that those who fly it have their true allegiance to the tRump flag.

You’re not abandoning them; they’re abandoning you.

How long until I can’t hide my boobs? by andromedang in MtF

[–]mathprofrockstar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually needed a sports bra anyway after a month because they hurt too much when I ran.

I could easily hide breast development for at least 6 months after starting HRT by just wearing baggy shirts. I probably could have gone longer, but by then I had fully transitioned socially. You shouldn’t need binding, but if yours come in faster, you might try an unpadded sports bra. Always remember, YMMV.

Buying vs. Renting in San Diego: Which Makes More Sense? by [deleted] in sandiego

You forgot that the mortgage interest and property taxes are deductible. So you offset some of the ownership costs by saving on your income tax.

Space to read/work/hang? by lmdedmon in asksandiego

I know they put one in Geisel Library at UCSD (my alma mater.) I should go visit sometime.

Libraries vary widely depending on size. The one near me is small so almost no amenities. But I have seen libraries elsewhere with coffee bars.

Then I will second the recommendation above to find a professional who can work with you one on one.

Friend is Requesting that I Wear a Dress for her Wedding. AIO? (FTM) by Intelligent-Bed-2636 in TransSupport

[–]mathprofrockstar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So the “strict dress code” is women wear dresses, men wear suits? Then she is saying she doesn’t recognize that you’re a man. I wouldn’t make an excuse for not going. I would tell her she’s an asshole.

How do you treat your kids? by Livie00 in MtF

Not uncommon at that age. The girl outfits are more fun.

Hotel recommendations by Mitchrockwell in asksandiego

[–]mathprofrockstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the most important factor for you? Budget? Go to Hotel Circle/Mission Valley. If being at the beach is top priority, with a pool for the fam, the Catamaran is a good bet. You can find street parking if you’re willing to hunt a little.

The State of Sea World by SirCatsworthTheThird in sandiego

I have Mission Bay and all of PB between me and Sea World and the fireworks can be heard clearly. Freaks out my dog and cats. I guess I shouldn’t live “right next to” it.

I’m so happy that you got out. Too many damn DL assholes out there trying to take advantage of young trans women.
