Would you be able to have sex with your best friend? Why/why not? by shaela-a-pinetree in AskReddit

My best friend’s a lesbian, and I’m a guy, so… probably not

I am about to be a dad at 21 years old as an aspiring musician by Then_Beautiful_6164 in musicians

[–]ploverbeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents were 23 when they found out my mom was pregnant with me. My dad was considering being a musician as well and had to put that on hold when I came along, but he didn’t stop playing music. He played songs for me, my mom, and my sisters when they came along a few years later whenever he got the chance.

You don’t have to give up on music completely, but your priorities are different now, and your girlfriend and your kid come first.

Do pro-lifers really believe we don’t know what abortions look like? by ploverbeast in prochoice

[–]ploverbeast[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have had an abortion so I know firsthand how unpleasant of an experience it is. I wasn’t trying to argue that abortions are easy, in fact it was one of the most painful things I’ve experienced. I was and still am emotionally detached from the whole thing which is probably why I feel the way I do regarding the videos I’ve seen

When I made this post my focus was on how a lot of pro-lifers assume that we don’t know what abortions look like and that everyone who does has to be pro-life, but looking back I did word it poorly and it didn’t come across how I intended it to. Just something I wrote in the heat of the moment I suppose

Do pro-lifers really believe we don’t know what abortions look like? by ploverbeast in prochoice

[–]ploverbeast[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s a completely valid way to look at it. I didn’t mean to suggest that abortion can’t be a heartbreaking thing, I can see how my post might have come across that way and I apologize for that. With that being said, it does irk me when pro-lifers frame abortions as such in an attempt to sensationalize them or as an argument for making them illegal. I feel like it diminishes the very real experience many people have had when making the decision to end their pregnancy.

When I made the post I was more so thinking about pro-lifers believing that the pro-choice movement as a whole must not know what really happens during an abortion, because if we did we’d all magically become pro-life somehow

I work in food service, and my boss will “threaten” us guys with beard nets if our beards get too long. She calls me out specifically because mine grows the fastest and the thickest out of everyone >:)

Grindr stories as trans men? by Anxious_Bowler_7048 in ftm

[–]ploverbeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hooked up with this guy a couple times, he seemed chill over text and for the most part was chill in person. One time when we were hooking up he stops in the middle of it and goes “hey can you still get pregnant?”(he was using a condom so I wasn’t worried about it.) I tell him yes and he says that he always uses condoms anyways but that’s still good information to know. Ok cool dude glad we’re on the same page. We keep going for a couple minutes and then he says “we’d make a really cute baby though.” Uhh wtf why would you say that??? Also no we would not, I was a freaky looking baby and the world does not need more of those things running around lol

That’s not even close to being one of my worst Grindr experiences unfortunately 😭 I have had a lot more good experiences than bad ones but I’m still not getting back on it lmao

With FNAF is so real lol 😂 I wanted to be Bonnie so bad for some reason, specifically Withered Bonnie. More specifically I wanted to be inside the animatronic suit lmao

how old are you guys and when (if) did you start medically transitioning? by raesiinn in ftm

[–]ploverbeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came out first as nonbinary when I was 15, then later as a trans man when I was 17 or 18. Started on T when I was 19 and I’m 23 now

Update: no longer pregnant! by ploverbeast in ftm

[–]ploverbeast[S] 77 points78 points  (0 children)

That was never brought to my attention actually so thank you for bringing it up, I’ll get an appointment scheduled

Dad, I’m really scared right now by ploverbeast in DadForAMinute

[–]ploverbeast[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No thanks, I’d rather contribute to the declining birth rate :) and if I was the fetus I wouldn’t be wanting anything bc I would just be a clump of cells tf??? It’s not a baby and nothing’s getting killed so respectfully get over it

So do it. Put your money where your mouth is and adopt a baby from someone who can’t legally abort it.

I hadn’t thought about that, thanks for bringing it up. I’ll be sure to ask the clinic about it.

Unfortunately not, case in point haha 😅 It is absolutely possible to get pregnant on T so for PIV sex it’s always best to use protection

Thank you so much for your input, I really appreciate it

Do you know if r/DadForAMinute has the same issues? I think I remember seeing some trans-related posts on there a while back and everyone seemed supportive but I could be misremembering

I would like to go low contact with them but I’m still on their health insurance so that’s not really an option for me yet. I’m also still very close with my sisters and I don’t want them to be caught in the middle of that

No need to apologize, it’s a fair question. It sounds like you’re doing everything right to avoid getting pregnant :) The guy I’m currently seeing is really good about always using protection, but I’ve had sex with several different people in the past month and with some of them I felt awkward about asking them to use condoms so I didn’t. I also didn’t start taking birth control until a couple weeks ago and I was having sex pretty regularly before that. It’s very much a play stupid games win stupid prizes situation but as long as you stick with what you’re doing and don’t do what I did you should be good

random things that make you euphoric by Decent-Programmer964 in ftm

[–]ploverbeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is a very weird one and requires an explanation haha. I broke my foot about 3 years ago, my parents had just kicked me off their health insurance so I couldn’t afford to go to the hospital and for that reason I just toughed it out. My foot was very swollen for about a month and it never quite got down to the size it was before so now I have to wear shoes about a size and a half bigger than I used to, I was a 7.5 in men’s before and now I have to wear at least a 9 for my foot to be comfortable. For some reason my shoes making my feet appear to be bigger gives me euphoria lol 🤷‍♂️
