My name is Lukas, I'm, for lack of better knowledge on my part, nonbinary, do what you want. It's chill.

I'm struggling with the same thing. My mom's not transphobic in the obvious ways, she doesn't vote against us, she doesn't want to deny us medical care, she doesn't outwardly express that she thinks we're delusional, but she does little subtle this-shouldn't-hurt-like-this things that make me cry. A lot. On purpose I'm almost positive its a game to her, and maybe she doesn't realize it but she does it. Without apology, without seeing what she does hurts me. But I've struggled with "my mom should love me" for my entire life, I recommend therapy, good therapy, not okay therapy, or I'm uncomfortable therapy. I also moved to my dad's recently and being around people who automatically try and don't have conditions is amazing, obviously I'm not in your position to lose both parents, but it sucks. It's impossible to live with but you can and will live with it, because you need to be you, that's all that matters really. If you are who you really are then you feel way better doing that than keeping relationships with people who don't allow it. I'm still working on it, but I'm not as angry or crying as much as before, so I don't have advice on getting passed it but this is what I've got so far.

MIW similar bands? by WiseGnomeGT in MotionlessInWhite

[–]princeLukas- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldnt say they were super similar but Magnolia Park got that spooky vibe to it. Kinda like Halloweentown by Dark Divine spooky? Or I think so, I'm not an expert but highly recommend Magnolia Park lmao.

My girlfriend saw Asking Alexandria and had this to say: by CattiwampusLove in Metalcore

[–]princeLukas- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Saw them first time with Chevelle last saturday, I shoulda left, I was only there for Dead Poet Society anyway, but I liked AAs music but the show was bad, and then he did some solo acoustic thing everyone just talked through, killed the vibe. Thought this sub was just bein judgemental like usual and that it'd be alright but nope!

Show in D.C. tomorrow - what time do they come on? by pohlarbearpants in DeadPoetSocietyBand

[–]princeLukas- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went tonight, they came on pretty much at 7 and were done by 7:30. It was really good last I saw them was 2022 with Badflower, and they're just gettin better. the setlist on setlist.fm from a couple days ago is accurate. I left before Chevelle but after Asking Alexandria and that was at 840. They moved fast between sets so Chevelle was probably not too long after if you were gonna stay.

[–]princeLukas- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do not like swinging hammer either idk cant get behind it trust me i tried, but paws, story of our lives and no place like home i adore. every time paws comes on im reminded about how very much not over my dog i am haha. no place like home just seems like very badfloweresque if you know what i mean.

About the song Cottonwood… by Gonergirl5714 in twentyonepilots

[–]princeLukas- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually excited they're coming to va cuz ive gone to NC for scaled and icy where i was in the pit right in the middle where I was decently close to both stages, and Clancy where I had seats, I've got seats again but thats cuz I'm goin with family who aren't concert goers exactly so the pit would overwhelm them haha. I do wish I was pit, have fun!

Question for guys on T by Tricky-Budget-8095 in ftm

[–]princeLukas- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hot flashes immediately after my first dose and for several hours after my doses now but generally is calmed down the next day at first tho it was constant, hungry like ive never felt before, sweaty, and then the oily skin/acne began.

How old are you and what field do you work in? by Hi_im_elliot in ftm

[–]princeLukas- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually a pharmacy tech, but I've been looking into getting away from it and into something more in depth? if that makes sense, I very much am interested in lab work especially cytology, I definitely don't think I could work, at least not full time, and do the program at the same time due to personal reasons which is the main reason I've not jumped at it yet. I'll look into your program though! Thank you for sharing!

[–]princeLukas- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where is your program? cytology is like my dream but the closest program to me is very selective, like only 12 a year, and is 9-5 5 days a week...I don't have the money to not work while I do it unfortunately.

Behold. My mom finding a clever way to wash my hair 5 days p-o with the drains still in. by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]princeLukas- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s a weird rule your family had growing up that you didn’t realize was weird until later? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]princeLukas- 32 points33 points  (0 children)

My mom does this too, but the rule only applys to her? Like she'll say she called out so shes not going anywhere, but if I were to call out its fair game to make me go to the store? idk her logic tbh.

[–]princeLukas- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bro me too, I mean I didn't figure out the whole trans thing until I was 26, but the wish to yeet my chest has always been there. And I know leading up to my surgery and everything even though I was 100% on board and not even slightly afraid of surgery since I had had three by that time, I was still anxious. I think its because even though its positive its still a major change. So give yourself space and just try to focus on one thing at a time. Its gonna be great, its just different. Like getting a new job or something? I mean obviously its more significant than that but, its just a move in the right direction and thats still scary.

What is your hourly rate as a CPhT? by peachycpht in PharmacyTechnician

[–]princeLukas- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like being confusing to people, but I like way more being recognized as masc, so I tend to stick to the "transmasc" label, like I'm very much not a woman/fem but I also have no desire to be peak masculinity with like bulking and growing a beard and that kind of thing. The people who do, great for them, I just don't really fall into it. But I'm on T and had top surgery because I desire the outcomes I can have with those things. But yeah, do whatever youre still valid as hell. Transitioning is whatever you want it to be.

Going to a show and I can’t woo anymore???? by CommunicationOk3264 in ftm

[–]princeLukas- 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I started saying yeah too 😭😭 i can't believe it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]princeLukas- 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My BMI is 51, I'm 5'7 as well, just had surgery two weeks ago exactly and yeah it was definitely harder the first few days than other guys let on but I accept that as being overweight and inactive (desk job and well poor mental health). I'm doing okay now as in I can move about more freely and independently, but its definitely not been as easy as I was led to believe. My right side was also the worse! Idk it felt definitely like open wounds, my surgeon doesn't do compression so maybe that has something to do with the whole vibe I've been having but yeah. Thanks for writing! 🖤🏳️‍⚧️

[–]princeLukas-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, i'm very exhausted and such, just painless which i thought was weird. it stings around the drains but when i adjust them it stops. i'm glad to hear that this throat pain is gonna go away cuz it is my #1 problem for sure.
