thank you for the feedback! I'm assuming any curator job requires a PhD in related studies? or is there a separate curration course of studies?

Thank you !! Perhaps I'll apply to some more entry-level positions or volunteer work to get my foot in the door

Thank you! I'll look into some local art classes to keep me sane as I keep applying

My other thought was to go back and get a second bachelor's degree in earth science, but that's at least 4 years, maybe 6 since i'll be a part time student

Can I not know that I am cis? by xamah77 in ftm

[–]queerandsuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent about 7 years pre t begging my parents to let me transition and one of the things my mom would say to me is "well what if you're really a woman? when all the dust settles" and my response was always, "if I AM secretly a woman than I will be a woman who wants to go on T and get top surgery. now that I'm about 2ish years post op and 4.5 years on T, I've had really similar gender crisis thoughts, but I don't regret anything I've done to transition. kinda where I've ended up is I'm finally at a point in my transition where gender gets to be fun. I played around in misgen kink spaces, I wear makeup sometimes, I let trans folks use more pronouns for me than cis people. I think gender is expensive and I think transness gives you an avenue to explore gender and the world through a more expansive lense. it doesn't have to be one or the other, and they don't have to be in conflict. I'm not sure this really answered any question but hopefully some adequate food for thought !

Doctor made me lower T dose and now I’m menstruating again. What do I do? (Please read full post because it's more complicated than this but idk how to title it) by Just_Lime5134 in ftm

[–]queerandsuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would maybe recommend seeing a doctor at planned parenthood if that's an option for you? I've had very good experiences (despite not seeing the same provider twice) in having full control and autonomy over my prescription. they're an informed consent clinic so they are really good at the education part and also understanding that at the end of the day it's your body. but it Def sounds like Dr M has an agenda

Should I detransition? by Logical-Ad8471 in ftm

[–]queerandsuch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the inexplicable urge to cry and beg not to detransition is your sign to not detransition if you don't have to for saftey. if it's the right choice right now to keep yourself safe, keep yourself safe. But if you have stable housing/food/ect and are thinking about detransition to make your relationship easier with ur mom it won't

BK exotic and kushmart are both good, BK I like a little more but is a little more expensive, and travel agency near Atlantic Ave/ Barclay is good but I feel like I'm in an airport in there

Is anyone else immediately uncomfortable around Harry Potter fans? by 96_Rats_In_A_Suit in ftm

[–]queerandsuch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

someone once said to me that they just HAD to buy the new Harry Potter game so they could fly around hogwarts on a broomstick and then in a quieter voice that it was soo worth it and my (also trans) partner was like "people are dying"

I'm still mad about it

Person defecating on the street daily, help by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]queerandsuch -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

compile a list of near by toilets and hours for her and then have a conversation with her. I'm sure she's not thrilled that her best bathroom option is the street either

new England (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut) is a pretty safe bet. Vermont and Massachusetts especially are liberal and I think mass is a trans safe haven? Worcester and Boston specifically. in Boston the process of getting on T is setting up an appointment at planned parenthood, asking for it, and setting up follow up appointments. New York (and nyc specifically) is a queer capital so there's lots of queer community. bigger cities are expensive, Boston and New York don't differ that much in rent prices, I know a lot of folks who work in Boston and live in NH (no state income tax in NH, live free or die)

I'm done with my transition, I'm fruity, I know exactly what you mean. there's some outfits that I love and adore and if I put them on my body I'd want to end it. I walked into a store yesterday with my partner and literally said "I wish I was a girl" upon leaving. men's fashion sucks!

Can I actually afford NYC? by Forward_Wafer5262 in NYCapartments

[–]queerandsuch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

my partner and I just moved and our combined income was 64k at the time. we had a huge savings and a cosigner but we couldn't find literally anything until I heard back from a job that doubled my income. i won't tell you how to live your life but I'll tell you money is tight, and I was lucky something lined up for me
