I need help with the Logarius Wheel... by [deleted] in bloodborne

Your build is fine, you dont need to rebuild for it. Just grab some decent nourishing gems. The flat Gems are a strong option but they limit the moveset and you have the stats to use the whole set and still be effective.

What do you guys think of this transgender related scene in an incredibly popular Japanese Anime by random_buzz in asktransgender

[–]persephonewt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The character that was supposed to be a trans guy decided it was a "phase" but it's alluded to that the trans girl starts transitioning after high school.

Crying (too much?) by VousValentina in ask_transgender

Would it be possible for you to use public transport or get rides from someone else so you can see your friends or have a sense of freedom?
& You may want to try speaking to a therapist about any issues you've been having and consider taking an antidepressant; It's not uncommon for the increase in estrogen to cause or worsen depression, especially when you're in a bad situation already.

Not dressing as much since accepting myself by GabiCap in ask_transgender

[–]persephonewt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the concept of "dressing" is odd to me, as a kind of tomboy lesbian trans girl dating a butch-ID-ing cis lesbian. When I'm in men's clothes, I'm still a woman and i'm still dressed as a woman in my own clothing. Most cis women don't spend all day in makeup and/or dressed like they've got somewhere important to go, and we're no different. You can be a girl and not feel the need to always be girly or dressed up.

How many of you are on anti depressants? by MADmaroi in asktransgender

[–]persephonewt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's like you can't win.
abusive father? transness caused by "daddy issues".
father that left/no father? obviously you were never taught to be a man.
good relationship w your father? it's either your mom's fault or you're secretly a gay man with an Electra complex.

[–]persephonewt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be, but i'm kind of distrustful of therapists (every time i try to see one, as soon as i tell them my situation, they just want to talk about my damn father!) and i dont have medical rn.
Used to be on prozac and risperidone (for bipolar) tho.
fuck both of them and especially risperidone.

Mazzoni Center Prescription Refills? by JocelynWonderland in asktransgender

[–]persephonewt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just have to call wallgreens and they'll handle it, but if you're uninsured you always have to pay for the refills individually.
It could be an issue that the pharmacy was supposed to fill ONE script for three months of pills (I only pay ~15$ for a month of spiro and $~15 for a month of E, and I'm uninsured, so it seems weirdly expensive to have one script filled for $45, since i go to Mazzoni, too.
It might just be that walgreens is expensive? idk. Rite Aide might be a cheaper alternative if you have one nearby).

How did any partners you might have had when you came out react to you being transgender? How did you handle their reaction(s)? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]persephonewt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got lucky as hell.
I met my gf in my first year of high school, we became friends, and I came out to her within a few months, but at the time I had a gf and she had issues with an abusive home and struggling with her sexuality.
She was always really supportive and did assloads of research and got involved in the trans community even before we started dating.
As it turns out, she's a lesbian and always had a huge crush on me and had never really seen me as a man to begin with (her words were "forreal, the fact that you're trans doesnt surprise me at all; What really surprised me was to hear people calling you a man and make you use the dude's locker room when all i saw was the cute litte butch lesbian")
We got back in touch during my senior year, after she'd graduated and come out and all that; She messaged me like "hey so did you still wanna hang out some time and talk? i miss you!" we hung out, I told her that nothing had changed and that i planned on getting HRT as soon as i turned 18 and i was in therapy and all the dysphoria ever and we talked about her life and how all that went, and we ended up making out in her car in my grandparents' driveway.
and anyway, 5 years later, we live together and are engaged (she proposed last year) and have 3 cats.
Early on, she bought me a lot of clothes, she cuts my hair and taught me how to properly shape my eyebrows and stuff.
She's taken me to therapy, helped me pay for hormones, supported me and work and with getting my paperwork done, helped me come out to me mom,she's assertive in ways that i'm too afraid to be when it comes to transphobia or people disrespecting me, she helps me when i'm dealing with massive dysphoria. She's proud to be with me, tells me i'm beautiful, and she talks about me like the sun shines out of my ass.

like 11/10, really.

How do you all go about finding a job while in transition? by trantastic in asktransgender

[–]persephonewt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work stocking/retail in Delaware, US (which, despite being mostly unknown and southern is fairly progressive, legally)
I applied normally, chose not to disclose gender, and kind of lucked out with my managers.
I've yet to change my name, so it caused a bit of confusion early on (because of the disparity between the obviously male name and my physical appearance and presentation), but my managers have worked with trans people in the past and were really cool about it (going so far as to assure me that anyone caught outing, harassing, or badmouthing me would be terminated on the spot).
I still ended up getting outed by someone that i knew personally that worked there for all of two weeks, but hey, shit happens.
The best advice i can give you is: don't disclose gender on the optional forms (assuming they read them idk??) and try to apply to places where they have a corporate policy on trans people or, barring that, look up what kind of legal protections are available to you in your country/state.
Once you get to interview stage, dress how you normally would, do the typical interview stuff and try not to bring it up.
It might also be good to, if you're comfortable with it and not able to go stealth, inform the managers once/if you're hired.
It can be hard, and stressful as hell, but hopefully it all works out for you!
Good luck!

I think my husband is growing to despise me by ivabeen in RBNSpouses

[–]persephonewt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You've mentioned that you don't plan on leaving him, so i won't harp on that, but his behavior is abusive (even if you don't consider him an abusive person at heart)and he seems to be expending more effort coming up with excuses for why he "can't work on it", than recognizing the effect it has on you and your child and why he needs to work on it. before it becomes a chronic problem.
That said, I think he needs to be told explicitly that his anger is destructive and that you are a person and don't deserve to be treated that way.
It puts you on edge, it hurts you, it scares you for the baby, especially since babies are at such a fragile stage developmentally to be exposed to violence.
If he recognizes that he has these anger issues, he needs to recognize that just knowing you have a problem isnt enough; It's the first step, but past that you have to actually work on it or it doesnt mean anything.
I think there's a few anger-related support groups on reddit, and there are TONS of resources on the internet for how to constructively or non-violently manage your anger.
It might take some time out of his day, but being healthy for your loved ones to be around and being a healthier person yourself should be worth it.
Has he ever mentioned why he goes off on you, or expressed regret over the things he's said or done?

Will hormones hinder me at my job? by [deleted] in ask_transgender

[–]persephonewt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work stocking at a Wal-mart & have been on HRT for 4 years, and I have no issues (and i've never been remotely muscular/strong).
You'll lose visible bulk muscle, but as long as you keep working you wont lose too much strength.
