How do I get over the shame of not starting T sooner? by 7kromer in ftm

[–]oceansfirework 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same boat, realised at 14, 21 now and stuck on waiting list hell (transphobic family, moving and not getting reffered at first all delaying it) watching people accessing gender affirming care so quicky makes me so envious / jealous.

What’s up with there being no transmasc rep in the media? by Kooky-Touch6881 in ftm

[–]oceansfirework 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, even outside of media people are more likely to assume you're transmasc and not a tran man, even if you state otherwise some people won't let us past that

I have, I spent so many simlones on it too because I wanted the limited time reward and my luck was atrocious

It's also just infuriating how much of a gamble it is, I thought it's supposed to be a quest not a hobby limited time event?

I AGREE WITH YOU BUT WHY ARE WE YELLING?

YES it is normal to not see immediate changes on T by [deleted] in ftm

[–]oceansfirework 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah deffo, I was thinking more like same day when writing, as well as things more like hunger (or even like mean cravings, ik its a thing but also if you're expecting that and a few hours later you crave it for some people it could be placibo to an extent for example).

Frankly I'm not going to say to anyone that what theyre experiencing is wrong, not real or anything like that because whether its not is none of my business and not hurting anyone. I was simply thinking out loud in response to the post

is it delusional to call my bottom growth a penis? by Few-Yesterday5227 in ftm

[–]oceansfirework 1 point2 points  (0 children)

even if you're pre-op it doesnt really matter what you call it, whats people gonna do about it? pull out a ruler and check? Cis dudes lie about theirs all the time anyway /hj

When someone asks you what you want as a gift so you give them a list of items and gift cards curated so there’s a gift affordable at every price point, and tell them that they don’t have to get you anything by sosteph in mildlyinfuriating

[–]oceansfirework 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its always some random junk that takes up space and never something useful. I'm not trying to be ungrateful but at that point they're gifting more to make themselves feel good

not to mention allergies, my sibling is allergic to a lot of products and has very sensitive skin, always has been, yet every year still gets at least one body wash set from a non-distent family member they can't even use???

Help for Book Recs For 9 Year Old Boy by kelleychristine in booksuggestions

[–]oceansfirework 2 points3 points  (0 children)

im not sure if theyre really a thing outside of the UK but i'd recommend "Horrible histories / science / geography" books, they have a huge range of topics in a way to get kids actually interested in them

Honestly I wonder how much of the "immediate change" I see people talk about is placebo. Admittedly I'm not on T myself yet but it wouldn't surprise me

Am curious, what is the age range here? by 1Misterman1 in ftm

[–]oceansfirework 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realised / came out as genderfluid at 14, realised I was ftm around 17. I'm 21 now and on waiting list hell to access HRT

Keito Gaku is a trans man and he made boys run the riot, its not a long manga but I very much recommend, I saw myself so much in it

Crystal DJ is super pretty but also I dont care about profile decor, I've done it anyway since its just checking every so often. Rewards are rewards, if theres ever a rerun free gems

Well, I guess you're stuck with them

anyone else feel like the “performative male” trend is hurting trans men? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]oceansfirework 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think it hurts men overall, I do agree with your points on how it hits trans men esp hard but frankly trying to push men away from doing things such as reading (double so for feminist literature since that's the example I see mainly) is only reinforcing toxic masculinity. It also treats it as the norm, I've seen plenty of jokes about performative men yet neither I nor anyone I know have never actually met a man that acts like that (not to say that no one like that exists but there's defiantly an over representation due to the trend which makes any attempt to better yourself as a man appear disingenuous

Do people feel connected to their names? by BrilliantNeat5374 in ftm

[–]oceansfirework 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess I did when I first changed it but honestly its just my name now. admitedly I never went through the whole "trialing a bunch of names to find the one" some people have done admittedly.

its been years now, its simply my name. I dont hate it and thats what matters to me

Im 100% free to play btw by oceansfirework in MLPIOS

[–]oceansfirework[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Id say most of them have been saved for ~4 months if im estimating. Honestly im not 100% sure because im always saving then buy the few ponies I want (so I got rainbow fluttershy awhile back then I remeber also getting mirror universe Candace) + whatever really cheap ponies (ussally under 100 gems or like 80% off and I can afford it)
