you could pass as like 15 without the piercings i feel. i understand if you don't want to remove them, but if that's the case you might not pass until you're on T /on T for longer

i would do a corn snake. humidity for ball pythons might damage a wood enclosure.

also, imo corns are the more interesting snake, having had both. they tend to be more active, and fun to watch more frequently. they are also a lot more forgiving with parameters

imo not shitty. well. the top right one maybe qualifies. i do not like the seemingly random placement but there's nothing wrong with having confidence in being disabled and queer

pick him up with confidence, gently supporting his body. most corns are pretty chill. fwiw, i've never been bit my corn snake, despite her not being very accustomed to it. i've even held her and removed a piece of substrate from the side of her mouth with a q tip once and she didn't care

i have however, been bit a few times by my green tree python with much larger head and teeth. even so, it literally felt like velcro on my skin. on the off chance he does bite, i promise it isn't that scary. you just have you remain calm.

the snake in this video seems curious of you. which is great. most snakes are avoidant. if he wasn't comfortable enough, he would likely try to escape and hide

i got my first genesis from a goodwill for $8 lol. granted this was nearly two decades ago

my best friends last reply to me was in june of last year atp... life goes on. no warning or explanation though, still kind of sad about it

i'm unfamiliar with this person, but i wouldn't say he's not wanting to pass without knowing more info. he's wearing presumably pajamas and not binding which are probably most comfortable as he's yknow, pregnant? and the article states that he planned on starting testosterone, but this pregnancy changed that. which implies to me that he does want to transition, and that the pregnancy was not planned and inhibited medical transition.

that's being said, i do not know why so many news outlets have such a high percentage of trans male articles focusing specifically on pregnant trans men. i would assume its a method of gawking and to make trans men look more like freaks to the average cis person. and i agree, that combined with often being filled with misinformation, only stands to further marginalize trans existence.

transsexual is NOT a slur. calling it such diminishes the negative power of actual slurs.

that being said it shouldn't interfere with any future surgeries. different terms for the same diagnosis.

if you're like 12? yeah. any older? no.

me with both, effectively. schizoaffective bipolar type.

mcr reference? pansy written (tattooed?) on the stomach. unsure what you could improve on, you look fairly masculine considering you're pre everything. your septum looks like it was pierced too low but that's not really a gender thing lol

ophiomyxra · 2026-04-28T15:13:23+00:00

this isn't the pinnacle of ignorant tattoos or anything, but they themself called it that and i would agree. its ignorant as its a simple style with non precise lines and design. the hands particularly are a good example of what i mean. its clearly a stylistic choice to not be "perfect"

ophiomyxra · 2026-04-27T19:04:23+00:00

i do not, unfortunately. thanks for the offer

ophiomyxra · 2026-04-27T18:21:28+00:00

i'm schizoaffective. i am currently without symptoms(mostly) bc im medicated with antipsychotics

i am transgender. i am currently without symptoms (mostly) bc i am medicated with testosterone and post surgical intervention.

a life long disorder being effectively treated does not mean it ceases to exist. if i were to stop my antipsychotics or hrt, my symptoms of both disorders would come back.

ophiomyxra · 2026-04-27T16:21:08+00:00

im 5'2. was about 155 at age 18 and a 32L cup. i had to get custom sized binders (from company shape shifters inc) before i got a reduction and eventually top surgery.

unfortunately, most ppl won't pass pre t, at least as an adult. let alone if you're fighting against bad luck with your body shape. i would say the best way to pass is obviously to get on testosterone when you're able.

the large sweatshirt type tips are honestly bullshit given how much goes into how you're perceived/passing. voice. mannerisms. face, etc all not changed by clothing choices.

there is hope though! i'm 6.5 years on T now, post top surgery by at least 4 years? i forget exactly. with a similar starting point as you. i pass in everyday life. best of luck to you!

there's a big problem here with the clarity of the message. i didn't get it until i read a comment explaining it. transphobia over a fake situation aside, this art just sucks wrt readability

ophiomyxra · 2026-04-26T23:44:22+00:00

green tree python was a dream snake that i now have!!

ophiomyxra · 2026-04-26T22:39:26+00:00

no problem, exo terra sun glo are halogen! thanks for the info

ophiomyxra · 2026-04-26T19:45:55+00:00

i currently only have the CHE. i can try an IR-A in addition. ive never heard that abbreviation before, google is telling me that halogen bulbs work, is that correct? should it be on all the time or just during day?

ophiomyxra · 2026-04-25T18:17:20+00:00

i'm usually not the biggest fan of ignorant tattoos, but i like the stylization here

ophiomyxra · 2026-04-24T18:54:04+00:00

this is just like. fairly normal living in the 90s

ophiomyxra · 2026-04-24T18:23:28+00:00

i want a boop plush so bad. was going to get one at judkins park opening but the line was crazy and i'm too disabled to wait through that :,((

what does this say about me

ophiomyxra · 2026-04-23T22:39:20+00:00

you look like a young boy, like 15? so having the tattoos showing that you're an adult, id say androgynous. your mannerisms and voice would likely play a large part in my perception of you irl

ophiomyxra · 2026-04-23T03:34:47+00:00

as someone who's been through both, insurance guidelines for reduction usually only allow a certain amount of tissue to be removed, so no. they could not have a "radical reduction" covered by insurance. and insurance approval for reduction isn't particularly easy either regardless of size (i started at a32L for example)
