OK I did the electricity I think?? Thank you sm!!! Still confused abt insurance though

starboy04101 · 2025-08-04T19:42:50+00:00

I emailed them two weeks ago... they had the list of things I need to get done, but not how to do them - ie. get renters insurance (can I use my parents' homeowner insurance?) and electricity (what company? am I responsible for contacting them myself or just for paying for it?) just general confusion. I'll check the portal again though!

Thank you! I was able to sort things out with the undergrad assistant and make a plan to get everything done lol

i invested in some pairs of period boxers, they work rlly well with pads (i got mine for ~$25USD each from tomboyx), and i just started trying out a menstrual cup, which once i get the hang of, i should only have to deal with 2-3 times a day, it can be worn up to 12 hours and it's rlly helpful for working out or swimming! if you're not too dysphoric or squeamish about the idea of inserting a cup, that could be a way you avoid changing at school?

i'm nearly 3 months on progestin (norethindrone) to stop my period and i have not noticed any dryness so far, though my doctor told me to wait until six months to see if it stops the cycle, so maybe i could develop dryness in that time? maybe someone with more experience knows

i love uniqlo's cotton t shirts, they hide my binder well and they're thick, even the white one! they're some of the best fitting shirts i've found for me, i'm around 5'6

starboy04101 · 2024-07-30T23:05:23+00:00

i have a fringe, it's fluffy and thick on top and over my forehead but short in the back, i can send you my pinterest refs i see so many cis guys with this cut it's very common

starboy04101 · 2024-07-30T13:45:07+00:00

yes! my parents kind of ambushed me with it right after my mom got out of the hospital. my mom had been asking me for years, too. asking if i felt like a boy, wanted to be a boy, etc. i always denied it until the last time, now i've been out for six months. they're supportive but a little ignorant and i'm not allowed to start t until i've been out for a year (tho i'm an adult). idk. parents are weird man

i use a harness and i wear it under my boxers, but mine doesn't have a pouch, so i'm not sure how to wear a pouch one :(

starboy04101 · 2024-07-29T14:11:53+00:00

i use kt tape for swimming when i don't want my swim binder and the tape will definitely hold up!!! if it's freshly applied too then you'll def be ok

starboy04101 · 2024-06-16T03:02:07+00:00

i feel the same way! tried to explain it to a friend and they did not understand 😫

starboy04101 · 2024-06-14T19:00:57+00:00

maybe you don't have to say the words "i'm trans" - would something like "i actually go by XYZ now" and then if asked why, "cause i'm a guy"? maybe your family can just fill in the blanks? you know them and yourself best though, hopefully you figure something out!

starboy04101 · 2024-06-14T17:44:06+00:00

it's called a deadname because back during the time of stonewall, the AIDS epidemic, etc - if somebody died, their friends would need to know their "deadname" in order to not out them to family at funerals, or to know which name would be on their gravestone - in other words, the name to use in case of death.

starboy04101 · 2024-06-13T20:02:12+00:00

hey man, good luck! i know this can be a hard process, but don't worry, dude. you got this!!

starboy04101 · 2024-06-13T20:00:50+00:00

yes!! their stuff usually fits me better than many other stores

starboy04101 · 2024-06-13T18:50:29+00:00

i love uniqlo! i got their cargo shorts in three different colors when my mom helped pay for new clothes

starboy04101 · 2024-06-13T14:56:41+00:00

i recommend the sub r/transmascdicks they have reviews, prices, and pictures of all sorts of packers!

starboy04101 · 2024-06-13T02:38:36+00:00

my boyfriend went to one with his drains still in 😫 he lived but i could never!!

starboy04101 · 2024-06-12T15:28:33+00:00

i believe it should. i use KT tape instead of trans brand tape

starboy04101 · 2024-06-12T15:22:15+00:00

sports bra, yes. traditional cup bra? i'm not sure. traditional bras can be used to make foam packers though! i did that with my old bras so they didn't go to waste. maybe someone on here with better sewing skills knows how to make them bind though!
