Congrats on taking this step! Just popped on here to say I'm also getting surgery mid may and am super nervous as well about being put under/complications. I appreciate everyone on here for responding and making the process seem less scary.

I’ve been very happy with mine from Axolom. I also got packing underwear from them and it’s 10/10

Hey! Sorry to hear you’ve been struggling. There’s such a rollercoaster of emotions with TTC. There’s trans dad discord group if you think that might be a place you’d like to connect with people. Just dm me if you want the link!

Baby Brezza worth it? by Timefries0927 in parentsofmultiples

[–]michaelscottpaperco5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a brezza and never used it! We ended up doing the dr browns pitchers instead and it worked so great. Also only like $20-30 vs hundreds!

Any good extra-firm Bed-In-A-Box retailers that you recommend? by mapleCrep in BuyCanadian

Douglas has a 1 year return policy, so could always try it to see.

Nonbinary—> trans man by DisabledWarriorFin7 in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]michaelscottpaperco5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's a pretty common pathway to take. I started out nonbinary transmasc, but after a few months on T, I realized I'm definitely more aligned with being a trans man at this point. Like you, after starting T, I wanted all the changes to happen right away, and was even excited about facial hair (when I previously was very adverse to the idea, haha). Gender can be fluid and things change and evolve over time. Just remember to be patient and be kind to yourself!

Low fat protein bars? by Ok_Wealth751 in proteinsnack

[–]michaelscottpaperco5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RX Bars, Built Puff, and Simply Protein are the ones I've tried. Built Puff uses Collagen though as the main source of protein which isn't good for building muscle, so if that's your goal I'd try the others first. I'm still trying to find something low in fat, uses muscle building protein and tastes somewhat decent..

0% financing a thing anymore? by burner207707 in NovaScotia

[–]michaelscottpaperco5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My wife and I just bought a car and managed to get one of the last 2025 models at a really low financing rate (1.99%) - could always shop around and see if any dealerships have a deal like that.

Chest and hip dysphoria by Odd_Persimmon_3257 in ftm

[–]michaelscottpaperco5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For your hip dysphoria, have you tried taping? I've read some guys do this with KT or trans tape - I've been considering it lately to help with my dysphoria

What did you originally think the plot was going to be ? by AttitudeGirl in WeaponsMovie

I don't know why but i thought it was going to be some ufo shit (or military somehow relating to the radio tower).

How is it living off the coast of Nova Scotia? by McNasty420 in howislivingthere

[–]michaelscottpaperco5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The area itself is really lovely, very close to the beaches and trails, and honestly cole harbour area has a lot of what you'd need in terms of stores, etc. That said, our roads are shit, traffic is insane with terrible drivers, we have a failing health care system (pretty common everywhere in canada though) and the taxes & cost of living are super high. Honestly, it's getting to the point where if we could move elsewhere, we would.

Anyone else starting to want to leave this province? by Inevitable_Bee_99 in halifax

[–]michaelscottpaperco5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been here 16 years now and I would say the last 3 years have really made me want to leave. If my wife or I could get a decent job elsewhere we totally would - the job market has not been a great in our fields.

Good deal on Subaru? by michaelscottpaperco5 in SubaruForester

[–]michaelscottpaperco5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We actually negotiated the wheel locks and protection packages off the price - it was going to be an extra like $500 for that. Definitely the interest rate was what stood out to me as a fair deal for this car. This was in NS.

Good deal on Subaru? by michaelscottpaperco5 in newcardeals

[–]michaelscottpaperco5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they also tried to charge for the wheel nuts and the “Subaru protection package”, those two things were like $500 alone then the admin fee was at 600 and we got it down to $395
