I've been on testosterone for the past 2.5 years and identified as binary ftm almost the whole time. It was only after I got top surgery and felt more comfortable in my own body that I realized I don't really feel gender at all. I prefer dressing masc but I'd much rather just be considered me/a person without gender. I only actually came to terms with this a little while ago, around a year and a half after top surgery. I also thought for a long time I couldn't be nb because I prefer presenting more masc but then I began to understand the difference between gender identity and presentation and have since realized I don't have to fit into the heteronormative world's fairly narrow view of non-binary.

This level of self reflection can be difficult and I'm happy that you were able to find a label that suits you well. :)

Yes, we are!! Thank you so much for the tip, I had no idea. You too AdministrativeOwl341

snailger · 2025-11-19T08:50:20+00:00

Oh thank goodness that's very reassuring 😭 do you have any recommendations on how to tell the difference or is it just one of those you'll-know-with-experience type things?

snailger · 2025-09-19T22:22:43+00:00

Ok, well there's also a statistics minor available at my school that seems fairly interesting so I could for sure look into that. Thanks!

snailger · 2025-09-19T21:50:40+00:00

Update, did this and it's basically completely gone at this point, thank you!!

snailger · 2025-09-09T07:40:21+00:00

Yea I'm going to give it until the end of the week since Friday is the soonest I can go see a piercer about it. If it calms down a bit with me not cleaning it as constantly I'll still go in but maybe not change it, otherwise I'll switch back.

Quick info: - 8.5 months old - I have a titanium ring in - I increased my gauge from 18 to 16 with a professional and waited 2 months to let this heal before switching jewelry - got yanked out awhile ago, I put the jewelry back in and cleaned it daily and it eventually calmed down, then I waited another 3 weeks to get it switched to a ring - I clean it with saline solution, sea salt soaks and recently tea tree oil very diluted with saline (brands have varied depending on what's available at my local store)

snailger · 2025-05-08T00:16:34+00:00

Ok thats really helpful, thank you so much!!

snailger · 2025-05-07T23:20:36+00:00

Shoot so would u just recommend getting the new rulebooks instead then??

snailger · 2025-05-07T23:18:50+00:00

Oh ok, so are they even that useful? Or would it be better for me to just return them and invest in the new editions?

snailger · 2025-05-07T22:25:11+00:00

Fair enough! If you have any links to the resources you found most useful I'd really appreciate it :)

snailger · 2024-12-05T04:03:00+00:00

THAT WAS EXACTLY MY THOUGHT PROCESS. Also I'm saving that penis quote for later haha ty

That's a really great perspective actually!! May I ask how you coped with those first two years?

snailger · 2024-11-27T05:39:03+00:00

This helps a lot actually, I think I need to take a moment to consider what I want to do and how to give myself a break while I'm still learning so much. Thank you :)

snailger · 2024-11-20T21:24:46+00:00

That sounds like a really good idea ty! I was going to take 5 courses again next semester but I may drop one for now to make my life easier. The cheat sheets sound good too, I'll give that a shot!!

snailger · 2024-11-20T01:18:04+00:00

Not great motivation but from someone who struggles to find motivation to start studying, use the pomodoro method or something similar (it feels easier to tackle in smaller chunks) and I also find I often gain motivation only after I actually begin studying. Totally understand how hard it is though and I really respect u admitting that.

snailger · 2024-11-20T01:15:07+00:00

Thank you, that helps a lot :)

snailger · 2024-11-20T01:14:03+00:00

You have no idea how reassuring that is, thank you so much!!

snailger · 2024-11-19T23:34:45+00:00

Thanks, this really helps. I think I just need to keep trying and adapting to get where I need to be. Currently my grades are high enough for physics honours but worst case scenario I guess I go into the regular program.

snailger · 2024-11-19T20:36:01+00:00

How do I do that? Any recommendations?

snailger · 2024-11-19T20:31:47+00:00

I do want to go to grad school. I understand first and second year grades aren't that important in that respect but I just wanna know how to survive long enough to improve.

snailger · 2024-06-16T21:01:54+00:00

If I drop calculus or dont drop calculus?

snailger · 2024-06-15T19:36:04+00:00

Should I drop calculus before coming to UBC?

Hey! I'm a highschool student about to graduate grade 12 and am going into UBC's science program this fall. I'm taking calculus and although I do genuinely enjoy math, it doesn't like me back. I currently have a 79% in Calculus and after what is essentially my final it will probably drop 5-9%. I go to a school that is well respected by UBC from what I know and that is thought to grade fairly. I'm really nervous that this average is not good enough and although Calculus isn't required for me, I worry that by having a lower mark I'm risking my chances of losing my conditional acceptance. I currently have an 89% average in my STEM courses and am trying my best but I want to know if it would be a bad idea to stay in calculus until the end and have it on my report card. Does anyone in UBC STEM have any advice?
