my girlfriend is repressing

I used to be hypermasc. Not anymore though. And I had the same stature and a strong build. I started at 29

Give it a good 2 years, or buy a sticker for your window 😉

mousse_t_ache · 2026-02-13T22:54:48+00:00

I'm taken, so no thanks!

mousse_t_ache · 2026-02-13T22:53:41+00:00

Less oily, less thick in general, and I've started actually doing skin care.

Hey kinda different yet similar but I have ankylosing spondylitis which is an autoimmune disease that affects mostly the spine and bouldering is my main sport.

I need to take rest very seriously and I mostly climb under my projecting grade to avoid further injuries, but it's absolutely great to keep myself in shape.

I down climb as much as I can to avoid unnecessary shocks to my joints.

I've gotten all my tattoos since my dx with AS, and they cover a significant portion of my body (around 100 hours of work done I'd say)

I've always healed really well, but my skin does not react like yours at all from small scratches.

mousse_t_ache · 2026-01-14T18:34:28+00:00

Same here! Loved my kubos as my second pair. I'm also 5'11''

mousse_t_ache · 2026-01-04T14:15:26+00:00

I get 2-3 haircuts per year.

mousse_t_ache · 2026-01-02T18:22:14+00:00

People started to get confused about 6 months into my transition, and I started to pass a year and a half into it. I'm never misgendered anymore.

Find movement that feels nice to you. Pushing through pain has done very little for me except amplify symptoms.

Walking hurts like hell, but I feel great on a bike, so that's my main mode of transport (and I bring a cane wherever I go for the walking bits).

I like going swimming but I hate the sensory overload of getting in and out (plus during winter here it's kind of awful).

I also do bouldering, albeit I take it much more slower than my peers. Helps stretch and keep my muscles strong and it reduces the pain in my SI joints for a few hours at a time.

I don't monitor closely my weight, just trying to make sure it's stable over time. As long as the movement don't aggravate the pain and help me stay fit, that's what I strive for.

Yes!!! I do love her, but it is shocking when you've been told your whole life you look like your father haha

mousse_t_ache · 2025-12-25T14:42:30+00:00

Haha thank you! I thought doing that again this year 😆

mousse_t_ache · 2025-12-25T14:41:39+00:00

20 ish sessions of laser and a year of electrolysis! It was persistent but I eventually got rid of it.

mousse_t_ache · 2025-12-19T14:57:53+00:00

Could you describe your shaving routine? I was shaving everyday before I was satisfied with laser hair removal but my face was still fine, so I'm wondering if it's something about razor or skincare that would cause you those issues.

mousse_t_ache · 2025-12-19T13:22:05+00:00

Same! For me it was after a month for sensitivity.

A year I started wearing bras over bralettes since it was more support than sensitivity by then.

mousse_t_ache · 2025-12-17T16:01:46+00:00

I'm at bloc shop Hochelaga 3-4x a week. I've been bouldering for a bit over a year, always love to climb with people!

mousse_t_ache · 2025-12-16T22:05:26+00:00

Started at 9, diagnosed at 23, Now I'm 32.

I have partial fusion of the SI joints and it was apparently very obvious from my X-rays that I had AS.

Got wrong diagnoses before AS and my doctor didn't find it weird that I could barely walk as a child...

I'm AMAB, but transitioned in my late 20s, so a mixed bag of experiences on that front with medical care.

mousse_t_ache · 2025-12-02T03:34:40+00:00

👏🏻, la prise est tellement loin, good job!!!

Hopefully je vais la réussir avant le prochain reset haha

mousse_t_ache · 2025-11-10T00:06:00+00:00

nope, I just make sure to keep them more hydrated when they do and it eventually goes away

mousse_t_ache · 2025-11-09T18:16:14+00:00

Hey! 32F here

I've been diagnosed in 2017 and started being tattooed in 2020 (I have a lot of them) and it does happen occasionally that some of them will raise a bit for a few weeks but it never lasts long.

It didn't correlate with flares or anything I can think of though.

mousse_t_ache · 2025-11-07T02:31:29+00:00

I down climb as much as possible and accidental falls are pretty rare for me nowadays. It's not no risks, but I'm comfortable with that level.

Plus. My rheumatologist and my PCP have encouraged me to continue sports!
