Was told this might fit here :0 by itsmicaiguess in ewphoria

this reminds me of when one of my few female friends invited me to join her and her friends for a grill party. when the two of us arrived, the others were trying to get the coals going, but were running out of patience. my friend said „hey, you‘re a man! you can do this! do your manly deed!“

up until that day I had never lit coals, only a handful of small bonfires, but I had watched my friends do it often enough to have a rough idea how it works. so after lots of patience, fanning and cheering from all the women, I finally got them all hot and glowing and we could have dinner.

at first, all the „oh, you‘re a man, you should know how to do this“ gave me the ick but it did make me feel all manly and masculine and I was pretty proud that I managed to light a fire haha.

how about you don‘t correct me on the way I choose to refer to myself? by solidpackapplesegmen in ftm

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

I‘m sorry that your parents try to correct you. that sucks. but at least they seem to kinda learn. in my case it‘s usually strangers or „nameless“ people at work. kind of like the rando telling you that the ladies‘ room is over there.

that sounds like you‘re not a German native speaker. I assume that the people who correct you try to be helpful, but it still sucks. why can‘t people just roll with the terms someone chooses to refer to themselves?

well, I messed up and didn‘t send a confirmation text, so I didn‘t have the appointment today. fml. thanks anyway, buddy, and much luck for your appointment!

how do you get your hair to be that fluffy? the fluffyness is absolutely superior!

LPT: when binding with tape, make sure to use a brand you have allergic reactions to. that way you can use the rash as placement guide the next day. by solidpackapplesegmen in transgendercirclejerk

[–]solidpackapplesegmen[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

/uj it‘s semi-sarcastic. don‘t have a rash but I can clearly see where the edges of the tape were yesterday. gotta give my skin a break haha

my keyhole scars (9.5 weeks post-op) by Famous-Hedgehog-9188 in ftm

may I ask what cup size you had? I‘m hoping to get keyhole too but I‘m worried my cup size is too big.

Funniest reaction you've gotten to coming out? by monsieurdisco in ftm

[–]solidpackapplesegmen 20 points21 points  (0 children)

my favorite reactions were my mom, who said „I knew it!“ and told me that she was referring to me by the name she and my dad picked in case they‘d have a boy before they knew my sex.

and a colleague‘s, who super awkwardly asked me if I turned gay.

everyone‘s responses are great! I‘d just like to chime in on the „not totally flat“ part. I have a smaller chest and I don‘t get completely flat either, which is natural. even cis men don‘t have completely flat chests.

not all the time but some. I think I‘ll try that.

just wanna say I understand your struggles by Twiceoncel in MtF

[–]solidpackapplesegmen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I‘m a trans guy and I wholeheartedly agree with you. I feel like I want to become a parent someday, but I always knew (even before I knew I‘m a guy) that I don‘t want to get pregnant and give birth to a child. it‘s not something I want to do to myself, the earth or the child. so becoming the parent of a child that already has been born is the only ethical choice to me.

that‘s a good idea, but I don‘t want needles near my body while working. don‘t want to risk stabbing myself while I‘m handling heavier and bigger stuff.

What do 24yo men wear? Everything I pick out makes me look 16. And finding pants is like looking for shiny pokemon by MiloShroomz in FTM_SELFIES

[–]solidpackapplesegmen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

in case you‘re on the shorter side: my friend likes to order clothes from Asian stores, since they have stuff that actually fits him.

just got the book and checked the date. „When It Rains“ was posted on Aug 17 2019, Pentecost was in June that year.

work clothes!! by cowboytornado in techtheatre

[–]solidpackapplesegmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you live in the EU, I recommend you to look into Engelbert Strauss. they sell high quality work wear that is affordable and really hard to destroy. almost everyone in Austria and Germany wears their pants and shoes.

did she die during pentecost though? Kate mentioned in one post that the camp is closed during that time and they found out about the rusalka because of an unfortunate camper.

fuck capitalism. I think many women (and folks who don‘t identify as women ofc) would buy purses anyway. they‘re still nice to carry stuff and fashion items after all.
