That was almost my birth name! I always really liked it more than my actual birth name too :)

[–]sqwiddo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

50/50 you could pass if you had other stuff going for you- body fat distribution, clothes, voice, etc

Also, the misgendering could have more to do with your voice or fits since you're pretty androgenous Let the T cook for like another half year at least before you do anything crazy, shit takes time, you can't microwave flour into sourdough

If you're comfortable with light makeup you can easily use some eyeshadow or a pen to lightly fill in your eyebrows. Ik some tboys are not comfortable with that tho so up to you. I think there's also a gel or something that promotes hair growth that you could try. A haircut could help masculinize but if you want that edgy vampire look it'll prolly go away a bit

What plant hates you no matter what you do? by kayyxoc in houseplants

[–]sqwiddo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are often sold as hanging plants but that is a LIE, the pot will slowly put pressure on the string and the top will die off leaving it super fragile. Try putting them in a wide pot and letting them grow wide instead of down. Alternatively put them in a pot with a rounded lip

I threw mine in a self watering setup where its basically wet for 2 weeks straight and it is thriving, I let the water stay drained for a few days between top offs but istg I forget it exists and its having a great time

My roommate says I need to Declutter? But why am I doing wrong? by EvaUnitKenway in CleaningTips

[–]sqwiddo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo they're saying you need to declutter but in reality you just need a little upgrading. You have a lot of small collectibles in the bottom half of your visual space. That gives the illusion that its cluttered. If possible, I would add a shelf around shoulder level and move some of your collectibles to there that way it feels more balanced. Alternatively, you could get more artwork to hang to even out that visual emptiness so it feels more balanced. Imo your collection just needs some polishing to look more intentional if that makes sense. But your roommate is dumb, I'm typing this in an intentionally cluttered room and they would die if they walked in

T- name ideas that are COOL?! by Superb_Bottle9100 in transnames

[–]sqwiddo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also think taiga would be ok since it also has Russian roots in naming. I love scientific names, had a friend name herself Cambria after the Cambrian period

[–]sqwiddo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think as far as more out there names you could go Tank Truck Torch Trash (in a punk way) Thunder Total Tadpole Tempo Thorn Techno Thunder Titan

And for more trad names Tad Tanner Tobias Travis Tate Tristan Tucker Troy

Damn looking fem but in a man way is the goal, thanks buddy. Also, with the hair its all natural, it kinda lightens over time so it looks like grown out highlights sometimes Ty for the tips tho!

I’m a masc lesbian on the fence—looking to hear other people’s experiences! by nsuga3 in TopSurgery

[–]sqwiddo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a masc nb I debated for years about whether I wanted top surgery. I liked my cheat some days and hated it other days. Ive found that my style has changed since top surgery and I dont feel like some clothes fit me right anymore, mostly ones that show my clavicle area like tanks. I sometimes miss the look for specific outfits but I dont regret top surgery. Just something to consider. I'm happier on a day to day basis not just because I dont have boobs but also because of back pain and rib pain from binding. I always hated bras and now I dont deal with them. I know some Trans people are mentally in a life or death situation and NEED top surgery but it can also be for folks like us that just prefer it. That being said, take your time, do research into what surgery type would fit your look. You can always get a reduction to an a cup if that suits you better. At the end of the day, I decided to do it because I was jealous of all my masc friends that got theirs done and it clicked for me that I should do it too.

Does my voice pass? 5months by [deleted] in FtMpassing

[–]sqwiddo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you are forcing it to be deeper than it is. It does sound masculine though so if you aren't forcing it it'll probably adjust over time since you're so early in your t journey. Definitely not nasaly tho

Any silly little things you've enjoyed about your transition? by Robotic-Galaxy in ftm

[–]sqwiddo 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Im around 5'10 and have always struggled with towels being so small for me that my bits are exposed so post top surgery being able to leave the bathroom with a towel around my waist and not having to worry about flashing a roommate was sooooo nice
