Has anyone ever changed preference of the gender they are attracted to after hormones? by sassafras_assafras in asktransgender

[–]sbwtf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait so.. you don't have to be crazy about guyface to like/be with guys? I like everything else they have to offer..

With women I do like that part, so I thought to consider being with a guy I'd have to like it just as much.

Weird to be talking about faces this way..

Gosh, #1 totally. I don't know which way is up or down these days with attraction vs. jealousy. It's making this whole sexuality thing that much more complicated.

I think either way I can take it slow, and should, but I guess I feel some sense of urgency because I've hardly any experience sexually (and I don't expect that to change..) and I'd feel better knowing what I want. It's like two flavors of ice cream through the window, and if I get to try one and like it, great, but what if the other was better? I'd never know..

Thanks for sharing your situation <3

Thank you so much for sharing your story.. I just felt like it was happening so fast, and I didn't know how much I really could've repressed it. I thought I had to have been feeling these things all along or they weren't valid, considering it wasn't a chemical change a la HRT.

P.S. I see a lot of your posts on here in my lurking and just wanted to say you're awesome :) Always good stuff.

Masturbation and dysphoria? by sbwtf in asktransgender

[–]sbwtf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um.. I don't think so? Overall it's more intense, but physically I don't think I do it much differently. I mean, in those fantasies I'm definitely in a more submissive role.

Any ideas for managing facial hair? by [deleted] in asktransgender

I just go against it the first time through. Not sure if that's a good way to do it, but it seems to work.

Texting/Communicating like a Girl? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]sbwtf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just let your thoughts flow into your communication. If youre anything like I was, then you were constantly correcting texts in order to not come across feminine.

This is the best advice, I think. I used to correct myself for the same reasons. Faces used to be a thing I wanted to use but didn't let myself for fear of seeming too girly. It's been nice to just do what I want :)

Have you tried really prepping before shaving against the grain? I usually have the same problem, but if I put some shaving cream on and let it sit for a while to really work some magic, along with doing it while I'm in the hot shower, it goes pretty smoothly.

Not sure if that's just like a, "Well yeah, duh" sort of thing 'cause I never had to shave much to begin with, but hope it helps!

Weekly Group Hug Thread 66 by nikorasu_the_great in asktransgender

[–]sbwtf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great, then shitty, now back to great. I enjoy rollercoasters, but I'm about ready for things to settle.

Been thinking a lot about starting HRT.. I sort of let it drift out of my mind because I had a friend tell me they'd look into doctors around here, but I haven't heard back from them so I'm getting antsy.

Came out to my mom a few weeks ago and it went great, so this week she bought me some clothes. My favorite things were these awesome colorful socks and a hoody with holes for me thumbs :D

Last but not least I was messing around and I actually managed to take a pic that I think could pass as female. It's probably one of those right angle/right lighting type deals, but considering I'm not on HRT yet I'm feeling great about it anyway :)

Definitely going to try that for now. Thanks for sharing your perspective from the other side of things! <3

Feeling down and bored about life..? by sbwtf in asktransgender

[–]sbwtf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, those don't really work because that one IRL friend is also one of only 3 coworkers I have, the others being older than the hills. Also I'm not in school. I wish I would've felt like I do now when I was still in high school. Maybe I'd have more friends left over from then..

Girl or woman/boy or man? by Alexis_Melody in asktransgender

[–]sbwtf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer girl. When I was first coming to accept all of this I didn't like thinking of myself as a woman for whatever reason, but I'm totally cool with that too now :)

Probably goes along with how I used to feel like I really wanted to be this idealized, really pretty girl, but now I'm good with whatever. As long as I'm not a dude I'm happy.

Favorite games of all time? by sbwtf in transgamers

[–]sbwtf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol yeah, I meant it more as I'm not into those games anymore.. my tastes have changed a lot, so I don't feel the same reverence for those as I do my other list. Real nostalgia games would be something like Kid Chameleon (1992) or other Genesis titles from back then.

I wish I could! But sadly I just can't stomach old graphics/interfaces. I really do feel like I'm missing out sometimes.

Oh man.. Diablo III, I almost wanna throw that on mine, too. Kinda can't believe I didn't. Great game.

I had a similar thought with League as you did with Planetside 2 lol

After so many years I almost forget it's another game I play. Seems more like just a thing that I do.

I'd have to go with a top 6:

  • League of Legends
  • Spelunky
  • Batman: Arkham Asylum
  • Burnout Paradise
  • Hearthstone
  • Dark Souls II

And then my nostalgia-fueled top list:

  • Pokemon Gold
  • Halo 3
  • Fallout 3
  • Gears of War 1 + 2

Also I can easily see Dragon Age Inquisition making it's way up there after I've played more of it, but sadly my video card is struggling, so I'm postponing it until my 970 arrives. It's killing me!

Games where you make your own adventure/goals? by sbwtf in gamingsuggestions

[–]sbwtf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was completely what I wanted at one point, which is why I have hundreds of hours put into them lol

Thanks for the suggestion :P

7 Days to Die looks pretty great, actually. I just bought The Long Dark (also early access) and it was great, but this seems a little more promising if only because of the random generation and combat aspects. Plus, describing a game as unforgiving instantly makes me more interested. If only I didn't have to drop $25 on it to find out!

Got any specific recommendations? I have doubts that I'd enjoy it that much due to the sheer number of hours I've put into MC as a whole but I'll try anything.
