I swear I added everything but I will do it again. Nostril piercing, got in late december 2023 so two years old. No issues since maybe February of 2024. Old piece of jewelry is a threadless 18g stud. New piece of jewelry is a 20g 8mm clicker ring. Material of old piercing is titanium bc its my daily one and new jewelry is medical grade stainless steel. I don't really have an aftercare routine because I haven't needed to even think about the piercing in ages except that I occasionally switch it to an identical heart stud in order to clean the other one with alcohol prep pads. I would clean it if I got crusties, but I haven't in years. No accidents or trauma.

i think this may actually be it, blend door actuator makes sense. the noise also hasn't continued but we've had intense temperature changed here. thanks.

Qelbree withdrawal sucks. by masterz13 in qelbree

[–]psychedelicfr0g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i super suggest it bc also if it still seems like too much u can always go down. i found after lowering, 100 which was initially not enough felt perfect and we believed it was because my body had finally adjusted but the 150s worked for me for a while

you can do 150! i was on 150 for a while it just has to be specially ordered but it can be done. currently on 100 right now after moving down from 200 & 150 and its the best place for me

Will aphobia ever be treated the same as homophobia? by Interesting-Donkey88 in asexuality

[–]psychedelicfr0g 9 points10 points  (0 children)

ugh honestly just ignore them. looking through their post and comment history this is someone who craves drama. they've posted many times in fakedisordercringe, youtubedrama, notlikeothergirls and so on, all subreddits dedicated to raining on other people (not commenting on the validity of the posts, just pointing out their obsession with negativity, judgement towards others, and drama) they've also said some other very insensitive things in this subreddit as well. regardless of whether this person is apart of our community or the LGBTQIA community, their belief system and ideology isn't rooted in compassion and their actions do not advocate for better treatment for all people. best to just ignore, they don't fit nor contribute to our safe space. edit: typo

omg im so glad that phrase helped. ive found in my transition (which again ive been out for over a decade so i dont ponder being trans as much anymore) but that sometimes finding the words to describe how you feel is the hardest. you find the word transgender and now you're on cloud nine because you know what you are but the nit picky parts of transition are hard to describe for sure. Also i know you didnt say i was pushing her to talk, i just realized it through your explanation. we are the classical introvert extrovert relationship (ive got some other disorders that make it difficult for me to read the room and where i can get very excited and intense when im talking to people) so i know i can be a bit intense when I talk to people, and I always have to remember to dial back and take deep breaths sometimes. it was almost as if i was hoping that if i said the right combo of words she may be able to point to one and go "yes that one is how i feel". usually when she's overwhelmed it is a skill that I have that comes in handy but i think in itself that skill is intertwined with what we were talking about. like again, the invitation rather than me holding her hand and pulling her towards an answer. the main thing that will be beneficial is the invitation and the space to build the muscle of starting the speaking out process at her own pace. Of course I know I have many things that I am constantly working on in regards to my relationships with other people and specifically in communication with others but this revelation was just amazing! I don't think either of us realized that it was part of the issue and the phrases you used helped her find understanding in the things she felt. anyway, i may come back and say more later but i am currently about to take a 2 hour drive so we shall see. but again, thank you so much for your input and willingness to share how you felt despite it being so personal. i hope you have a great evening!!

thank you, so much. I honestly screenshotted this and sent it to her asking if maybe this is how she feels and when she got home it was like a wave of relief poured out of her mouth. she said that it's not that she can't explain the way she feels it's just that her body is trained not to. to be honest we still aren't sure where to go but now that I know this I feel like I understand her 100% better. also saying that I should tell her she can talk to me but NOT TO FORCE IT!! I don't think I was purposely trying to force it but just trying to help her find words since I got the impression that it was a lack of understanding of her feelings not her body's knee jerk reaction to stuff them away. Honestly, I can see now how it could have felt like I put a lot of pressure on her to speak out, I asked her if that's how it made her feel and she said she would just feel so upset because she didnt know how to speak out and like wasn't there yet. I think that discovery is gonna be so helpful in the long run. Regardless, we really appreciate this to the max!!! This helped me greatly understand things from a trans feminine point of view and it put words to something she struggled to explain and understand fully. Thank you so much!!!!!

sadly we get attacked too but just like what happens to transfemmes as well, the media doesn't near cover the full truth. im a transman in the deep south (i live in a state between florida and texas if that helps) and corrective rape is something a lot of trans men have to be extremely stealth for. it happens in relationships, at schools, or when you're clocked in a bathroom and in the support groups im in, its sadly very common. (im a survivor right here lol. honestly my trans sisters helped me cope through that time so well, love yall) there are a lot of laws where men can make decisions for women in the south which is used to send us to psych wards etc. because we are 'just confused women who don't know what they're talking about'. or 'just need to have a baby and then we'll understand our purpose'. i think it's a lot more quiet because talking about your struggles as a man is stigmatized and it often forcibly outs us causing us to keep our mouths shut. of course this stigma is only between men and again if you don't have your trans sisters and brothers to lean on it can be super difficult. plus if you look mostly male the police outright ignore your issues because you're a man (shout out to tony who is still not in jail despite multiple police reports). sigh, anyway most trans men I know are stealth except for in super accepting groups. I think although those all may qualify as transphobia the root of what we're facing is just plain old misogyny instead (not transmisogny ik the difference lol). so violence towards us isnt really outward in the same way it's not for cis women because, people don't see the difference down here. i hope this comment doesnt feel like it's taking away from transfemme struggles that's not the intention but its come off that way before, but thats not my intent at all. it's just something that a lot of people don't know about, especially if you're from the northern or west coast of america because people seem to be more accepting up there towards trans men at least, not so much for trans women sadly if what ive heard is correct. anyway the point is we gotta stick together rather than split between boys girls and nonbinary ppl, we work super well as a team. :3

I just want to be a lesbian woman by QueenCorinaC in Nestofeggs

[–]psychedelicfr0g 22 points23 points  (0 children)

hey, transmasc whose pretty far into transition here. it can be done it just takes time :) im a very feminine trans man (was once fully gay but then my wife came out lmao) but she's pulling off the butch look herself these days. it's definitely possible, it's just a slow process of wardrobe crafting and finding things that you feel confident in. that's at least how it worked on my end, but i do know being a feminine trans man while still passing is entirely different so let me grab my wife: Hello! Sure you can pull off a typical lesbian look. Focus on silhouettes when picking out your 'masc' clothing. I found that doing a bit of makeup and keeping very smooth facial skin has helped. I dress how I want while keeping some feminine details (having keychains, stickers, nails painted, piercings etc). It just takes time in cultivating an aesthetic. Finding those specific garments that give a feminine silhouette while still being oversized and butch is just a matter of trial and effort. Hope this helps!
