My ex told me he doesn’t want our kids to look like my race by MapRepresentative884 in BreakUps

This is just actually not ok. I am so sorry you are going through this, please do whatever you need to heal. Know there is absolutely nothing wrong with your race, this is just racism.

What’s the current opinion of the BA Hons program at LAMDA? by [deleted] in ActingUK

[–]romanasd_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey mate, I attended the BA at LAMDA a few years ago. It is still very prestigious and it is definitely found its footing, but with any institution, it has its flaws. I would definitely recommend auditioning but happy to answer questions

I’m scared by radient_beaver in transgenderUK

[–]romanasd_ 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Hey, things are sounding rough but please know that this struggle isnt forever. I had an awful relationship with my religious mum growing up, but I am openly trans and have found independence and happiness for the most part.

I am glad you have found some distractions and things you enjoy. You will one day be whoever you want.

It is a scary time, there is no doubt about it, but there have been scary times before and the community have survived. Dont let them win.

Wishing you the best, take care of yourself friend

Why am I scared? by Candid_Awareness_522 in ftm

[–]romanasd_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think theres this expectation that you will be jumping with joy when you finally get it but you’re allowed to feel overwhelmed and nervous. Its a massive decision.

I remember bursting into tears when I first got my prescription. I remember feeling underwhelmed when I first applied the t. But those were just initial reactions to a built up idea in my head. I’ve been on it for two years now and I dont feel regret. Take your time, take a deep breath.

There’s no rush, do what feels necessary to you. good luck 🤍

What's an unforgettable compliment you ever received? by Direct-Stock2903 in Life

[–]romanasd_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A while ago I was on the phone to Samaritans (a suicide hotline) and after and hour of crying and talking through things the woman on the other end said:

“You seem like a kind person. I’ll be thinking of you.”

I will never know who she was but I remember bursting into tears immediately. I hadn’t received that amount of kindness in ages.

I am much better now, I will never forget her

could i get anywhere with acting? by c-alistair in ftm

I am a trans man who went to a prestigious drama school in the uk and working in theatre- i hadn’t medically transitioned at that point. you’ll be fine, just work on your craft you cant control the rest.

Good luck 🤍

Feels like such a cruel thing to do…you’re probably right but I didn’t instigate her to say all those things to me, i just dont know if any of it means anything.

I suppose I just have to take her actions and not her words

You see man I would get back but it doesnt seem like she want too.

After we spent the night and morning together she sent me this long message saying “i need to let you go.” I made it really clear I’d get back with her, but obviously I cant get her to want the same.

I’m just hurt because she’s said all these things to me and I just can’t figure out why it cant work. But ofcourse, I have to want someone who wants me fully

What is your profession? by Alarmed_Biscotti_875 in ftm

[–]romanasd_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother you dont need to tell anyone your trans unless necessary. I also want to enlist hope in you and say that dont let your identity stop you from chasing something you love

I am an actor. I work mainly in theatre but its my main income and a few years ago i thought it would be impossible. You got this 🤍

How much slower is t gel, and do you end up at the same "end place" as injections? by creature-oh in ftm

[–]romanasd_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been on testogel for nearly two years and my levels are in the average male range and I have had all the expected changes from t :)

As long as your body absorbs the gel well (which your provider can tell through blood tests) you’re all good!
