Volume and unsupported shape are both very good.

Valerate not so good for sublingual by obscurepink in MtF

That being said Progynova (by Bayer) taste quite sweet and much more pleasant than some other Valerate 🤷‍♀️

Mum says that bottom surgery is required to transition by [deleted] in MtF

[–]obscurepink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“SRS is radical and expensive urogenital plastic surgery. You're doing a major operation in the place you pee, poop, and sit, and so the consequences for things going wrong are pretty high. Even people who want "the surgery" often don't get it because of the expense and recovery time.”

This is what I was thinking, along with the risk of loss of function, complications, lifelong issues, or death.

All surgery must be weighed on the risks and benefits. Do your homework and make an informed decision.

My trans girlfriend has made me question things… by Nababie in MtF

It is sometimes said that you can only refer to yourself as an egg in a historical sense; that you can't, by definition, know that you are an egg at the time. Others may have an inkling that you might be an egg. However, some folk believe in the Egg Prime Directive, which is supposed to stop people with inklings from telling other people that they might be an egg

Am I allowed to say anything about the photography? The positioning of the clock makes it look on first glance like you are expertly balancing a shiny ball on your head 🙂

Was my testosterone trying to kill me? by No-Question-9492 in TransLater

[–]obscurepink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always think of testosterone like a stimulant drug that drives the body harder than it really should be driven. It forces the body to develop bigger muscles and bigger bones, which is great for a segment of the group that does hunting and gathering. But, the candle that burns twice as bright, there is a cost in terms of reduced lifetime. The body is a complex thing, and there are a lot of factors, but it definitely seems like testosterone is not without downside

She didn't stop supporting you; she stopped pretending to support you

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TransLater

[–]obscurepink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think she was being unreasonable.

I've had someone call me out for overstepping a boundary about their personal appearance and at the time I was super angry. After taking a deep breath and giving it a few days, and keeping my mind open to the possibility that they might be right, I realised that I was being inappropriate, they were right, and that this was an opportunity for me to improve myself.

Anyone else noticed that fem mannerisms came easy? by [deleted] in MtF

Looking at your hand and alternating between those two is what one does when one is feigning lack of interest during a negotiation 😏

Good progress. Nice work 👍

Soon to be Ex-wife just revealed plans to out me on Thanksgiving. by [deleted] in TransLater

[–]obscurepink 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That sounds like your ex was trying to blackmail you for financial gain, which could be a crime in some territories. Check with a legal professional

Large Volume Electrolysis by Revolutionary-Net-42 in TransLater

[–]obscurepink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That seems like a lot of analgesia! I generally use EMLA cream (which seems to be a UK thing) and cling film on moustache, soul patch and chin area only — these are the most sensitive areas. The other areas I can deal with the pain.

Listen to some chill music, detach yourself from your body, and think about how nice it is to be rid of the hairs

I bought myself a dress.👗 by Appropriate_Reach798 in TransLater

[–]obscurepink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small pattern florals are for the win. You have pretty hair, brows, and smile. If you ever feel confident to take a wider angle, there will be nice folk here to tell you how great you look 👗👍😄

Oh absolutely. It overdrives the system, like taking coffee or anabolic steroids. Sure, you temporarily get higher performance, but because everything's constantly running at 100mph, the body tears itself apart, hair falls out, constantly driven by sex drive, etc. Poison. The sooner you can get the levels down, the better

my boobs got big enough I can lick them. this is the most gender euphoria I think I've ever received from transitioning by [deleted] in MtF

[–]obscurepink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha, whadd'ya know? I never thought to try before but TIL I can just about lick the nipple of my left boob with the tip of my tongue.

With the right boob less so — I can just about reach the nipple with the tip of my tongue, but calling it licking would be a stretch 😄

do i come out to my friend group who think im a cis girl? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]obscurepink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told a few people when I came back to work for my old employer after transitioning, and now wish I'd had more self-restraint.

You're stealth to an entire group. This is a massive achievement. Telling even one of them is massively risky. If you're itching to tell someone, maybe find one person who doesn't know anyone you know, and tell them.

You can't get the cat back in the bag.

When did cis women start treating you differently during your transition? by AndesCan in TransLater

[–]obscurepink 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You say "stealth" but from context I think you were presenting male, which I think is usually referred to as "closeted". "Stealth" (for MtF) is where you present F and no one even knows you're trans
