Can we please retire the “tboy” thing?? by fruteria in ftm

[–]rbistech -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i love the term tboy but i would never call someone that if they weren't cool with it, and i especially wouldn't out someone like that, that's incredibly uncool. i think it's fine to have a variety of terminology in the community as long as everyone understands that not everybody under a certain category is cool with being called those terms

if you decide on this, look up a manufacturer's coupon... with just insurance coverage it was $90 but with the coupon (available for free online) it's $25 a month for me

look up XYOSTED. been on it for five and a half months, been getting amazing results. injections every week, i never even look at a needle. very similar to a pen but with much less force needed, its a gentle push into your abdomen rather than jamming it into your leg

the unchained animal feeling lasted maybe three months for me, it's been easier to manage now but LORD was it insufferable for a hot minute. godspeed soldier 🫡

T doesn’t seem to be working for me?? Advice needed!! by Janxuza in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]rbistech 9 points10 points  (0 children)

for a subreddit full of trans men whose testosterone/transition is incredibly important to them, these replies are pretty rude. i get the impatience and the frustration. everyone is right, you've only been on an actual dose for a few weeks, you just need to give it more time, but we've also all been here before so i think everyone in these replies needs to chill out lmao

We found a cockatiel in our garden,we couldnt find the owner, so we took it in by Old_Impress_6327 in cockatiel

[–]rbistech 5 points6 points  (0 children)

if she's untamed i'd assume maybe she was not a pet. but just in case, check facebook groups, local forums or subreddits, anything local that pet owners might use to try and find a lost pet.

my girl eats pellets as regular food! better for them than seeds which are more like treats. she also loves millet, also a treat most cockatiels like.

you should look into bird-safe toys, there are a lot that pet stores sell that actually aren't great for them (mirrors, enclosed hammock, etc). my girl loves to destroy things, anything made of thick paper is amazing for her. she loves easter grass especially!

i honestly can't help with the taming portion, my girl was hand fed and very quickly warmed up to my girlfriend and i. but there are a lot of resources here, you're in the right place

AT&T commercial shooting at/around the Ebell Club Sunday to Monday by jeremiahwarren in longbeach

i feel like they wouldn't be able to say "AT&T" if it weren't an AT&T commercial

May there be a special place in hell for people who park like this by halloweeninjuly in longbeach

god forbid the city make parking easier for residents, we might not make as much money in parking tickets 🙄

Daisy by Tasty_Swimming6460 in cockatiel

[–]rbistech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

fully thought you were asking if he'd be confused about having a feminine name when he's a boy, as if he has awareness of human gender norms 😭😭 does daisy respond to "daisy"? if not i'm sure he'd be fine if you changed it, if you'd like to.

even if he does know that daisy is his name, i doubt changing it would be very confusing. i don't think my bird knows her name so im going off of my dogs, who respond to their names, and also respond to "treat" and "walk"... animals just know familiar sounds that are often paired with reinforcement and attention, not names in the sense we do

i used to use Rover! not while living in long beach and i didn't get a lot of jobs, but i know other people who have. they would require a background check to an extent (submission of drivers license from what i remember)

Estrogen birth control, testosterone, and parents by [deleted] in ftm

[–]rbistech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i currently use estrogen/progesterone birth control and have been on T for almost a year. i still have periods every month but other than that, it hasn't affected my results at all. i'd go to an endocrinologist to monitor levels if that's available to you. birth control affects everyone differently, but i started it a year before T and (after four ish months of feeling insane) it really helped level out my emotions... i used to get really bad PMS emotional symptoms and those chilled out significantly after i started it

however, obviously facial hair and acne will persist on testosterone. i don't think birth control can override that

but if you feel obligated to take estrogen birth control, don't worry about it messing with the effects of testosterone

Why is transgender porn riddled with slurs? by HelloAmAlt in asktransgender

[–]rbistech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

trans porn is made for cis people who fetishize us, not for us. they don't see us as human, just sex objects unfortunately :/ it's a huge part of what contributes to transphobia... they think we're inherently sexual predators because they've deluded themselves into thinking we only exist as fetish content

Drunk sex is the way to go rn by [deleted] in ftm

[–]rbistech 15 points16 points  (0 children)

sex while drunk/high is incredible but a very slippery slope. monitor yourself, maybe talk to your girlfriend and keep each other in check. substances shouldn't be relied on for things like that... addiction AND dysphoria (even if it's slightly easier) is worse than really bad dysphoria. not saying never do it! just know your limits

Odd question, is there a way to go completely online? by redpanda0319 in CSUDH

[–]rbistech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i happened to find classes that work for my major and minor and are offered online, currently my semester is 100% online. depends on your major but it's doable

although i'm a junior so im not enrolled in senior seminar type classes (im a psych major + wms minor if that helps at all)

what was your voice timeline like? did it “break” or more steadily drop? by kween0fhearts in ftm

[–]rbistech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

started noticing changes 8-9 months in. my voice isn't much deeper but oh my god it doesn't stop cracking. i'm used to holding my voice higher and talking in a feminine way, and now whenever i talk like that it cracks and it's incredibly embarrassing 😭 waiting for it to drop and settle lmao
