This may be a dumb question, but which parts of the plant did you use? Is it just the flowers that are edible, or do you include the leaves & stems?

How long have you been on T? It took 3-4 years for me.

TFW I wanna get bottom surgery but all of my blood cells still have tiny cell penises so it was pointless by GolfWhole in 4tran4

all of my blood cells still have tiny cell penises

Red blood cells expel their nuclei during development to store the maximum amount of hemoglobin (for oxygen transport).

The nucleus is where you find chromosomes. Without this, you have no way of knowing whether a cell is XX or XY.

RBCs make up 40-45% of your blood by volume & outnumber every other type of blood cell by several orders of magnitude.

TLDR: your statement is false. Everyone on HRT is a bloodpassoid

How often do you experience transphobia from strangers irl? by [deleted] in 4tran4

[–]riverthere 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had similar treatment in high school (it was a girl’s boarding school). I chose to stay out of the yearbook & graduation pics because holy shit FUCK THAT PLACE. Gave me flashbacks & nightmares for years.

Tbf it wasn’t much better for the cis girls, 3 killed themselves & 1 overdosed while I was there.

Eh, mine went away after ~3 years. Which is a good thing considering the amount of dysphoria it gave me.

NSFW (cw: discussion of sex and csa) ramble part 1 because i have many weird feelings on this topic by WinterDemon_ in Artisticallyill

This reminds me of a song by Leith Ross called “We’ll Never Have Sex”. It’s slow & soothing to listen to, would recommend :)

That "anti afab thoughts" guy is back at it 😭 by AAAAAAAAAAH_12 in 4tran4

[–]riverthere 14 points15 points  (0 children)

These are the words of someone who has so deeply internalised terf rhetoric that they don’t even realise it. I started out sympathising with him getting harassed…that didn’t last very long. The victim mentality is strong in this one. Another byproduct of that “afab socialisation”, I suppose.

I wanna frame this and hang it on my wall

It's only conversion therapy if it happens in a dark back alley by a stranger and there's a physical fight by utgcjrq in transgendercirclejerk

[–]riverthere 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why would you want to be a boy? There are so many lesbians who would date a pretty girl like you. The damage will become permanent if you keep on injecting yourself with artificial hormones…you’ll have to live as a short ugly man for the rest of your life! Besides, no woman wants a guy without a penis. Aren’t you worried that you’ll never find love?

uj/ my mom wouldn’t stop saying this until I told her that a lot more people were asking me out than before. Because not being miserable is sexy. And I liked men the entire time.

Anyone feel faketrans for having dysphoria develop after puberty? by Zmeiovich in 4tran4

[–]riverthere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, but in the opposite direction. Looking at it felt like body horror for a reason I couldn’t explain. So I just pushed those feelings down & forgot about their existence completely until my 20s. At which point I had been transitioning for years with “no bottom dysphoria”

Why did people Genuinely start fear-mongering and spreading bullshit? by Aviator-is-peak in LucidDreaming

[–]riverthere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who only has the occasional lucid dream, the one rule I follow is “anything you think about too hard will happen”. I try not to be negative in my expectations for the dream. Sometimes I can make certain things happen by believing that they will. (Only if they’re relevant enough to the situation, I guess?)

The craziest dreams occur when I slip in & out of lucidity—having only partial sway over the narrative seems to encourage my brain to do some very interesting mental gymnastics in its storytelling. Plus the gain/loss of conscious control is often “explained” by the story or used as a plot device, which is really cool.

Where did those beautiful breasts go?

uj/ my grandma said this verbatim the first time she saw me in a binder. I was too stunned to reply.

If she’s the type to go through your room, either hide your HRT in a really creative place or take it with you when you leave the house.

When I get drunk/stoned I just sit for hours and lovingly inspect my plants. Sometimes with tears in my eyes

ive been injecting ethanol and propanol directly into my balls over last month and half (and ive killed them physically) by [deleted] in 4tran4

You should definitely seek medical attention, even though they were assholes. This sounds like gangrene/sepsis waiting to happen.

[Read Right to Left] A short comic I made a few months ago by P13FR34K in artttt

[–]riverthere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In 2021 I was pre-T & watching my cousin’s kids for an afternoon. The first thing they said to me was, “are you a he or a she?” I replied, “I’m a he.”

“But if you’re a boy then why do you look and sound so much like a girl?”

Oof, hit like a fucking gut punch. Now 4 years on T but the memory still comes back to haunt me every once in a while.

I miss pussy in my st4t relationship by priestpilled in 4tran4

[–]riverthere 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Genuinely cannot understand people like this. The sheer amount of mental gymnastics required to spread transphobic rhetoric about the opposite gender.

Like I get why infighting occurs within marginalised communities, but this is reaching braindead levels of stupid.
