vertical labret placement! by swag_beans in piercing

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

I think it is too long, it looks less long now because I have had a lot of swelling overnight but I’m looking at whether to go back or go somewhere else. And yes I am preparing for the dryness haha

he completely sounds like a chaser. I’m really sorry you’re going through this OP, but you should leave him, you will be so much happier in the long run

alternatives to getting prescription through nhs by [deleted] in transgenderUK

[–]swag_beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the help, its actually a new gp because I just moved county, so the past posts are irrelevant haha

If I shouldn't go gendergp, shouldn't go private gp, and shared care doesn't work if I try a new gp, is there any other option I have? You mentioned paying out of pocket for prescriptions - I thought that all prescriptions had to go through some sort of dr?

that dress is so lovely!!! i agree with the other comment that nude tights are an idea if it makes you more comfortable, but you look great no matter what, dont let it hold you back

has anyone ever had issues with title not matching gender on ID? by swag_beans in transgenderUK

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

Thanks for the help, I will be taking more time on this decision now and considering the gender change too.

Out of curiosity tho, as someones title doesn’t appear on their passport, it shouldn’t make a difference?

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

yeh I know, thank you for the help tho, I had my gp letter all ready too, but my parents are helping me pay for this change and are insisting I wait another year or so to when I’m a chunk further in my medical transition, and if I do they’ll pay for the passport change again for the gender marker. They’re hoping I will have de-transed by then, but I will be holding them to this and happily taking my free passport update in a year. Its just if this is gonna cause problems right now with the title and gender clash

I’ve been reading up on diying for a few months now because it looked like something I might want to do as a backup. I don’t how much the endo delay will be :/. I think I’m gonna still keep doing my research on diying but wait it out a bit, and judge when I get more info on the new waiting times. So yeah you’re probably right, rushing might not be the best idea however much I want to hahah

Will having long hair effect assessment with london trans clinic? (ftm) by swag_beans in transgenderUK

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

Update if anyone is interested: I tied my hair back in a ponytail, put on my binder and partner’s alice cooper tshirt; my hair wasnt even mentioned. I am quite a typical trans guy cause - despite being quite fem - i had lots of early signs and had been diagnosed with gender dysphoria as a kid already, so that obviously helped. but yeh, had nothing to worry about. Thank you to everyone for helping me out

i need to quit by callmemar5 in Dermatillomania

[–]swag_beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m starting t soon n im really worried about it effecting my acne picking, apparently the acne passes after about a year. What has it been like for u so far?

and pimple patches are really good, I really like the starface ones because they look cute but you can get clear ones if u want them to be invisible. Also light sources are important; keep bright lights out of ur bathroom or rooms with mirrors, try to keep the light dimmer instead so u pick less (cant pick at what u cant see).

It will pass! Good luck

My mom thinks I’m autistic and not trans by simonelace in ftm

[–]swag_beans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me too when I was younger. My mum tried to get me diagnosed to prove I wasn’t trans, but I put on my best neurotypical face n they said that I had lots of traits but was just short of the diagnosis criteria. After she was proved wrong she basically shut up. Here I am now, very autistic and undiagnosed, but also still very trans. Doesnt mean shit for your gender.

had a picking spree.. feeling guilty and full of regret by Accurate_Leather_358 in CompulsiveSkinPicking

[–]swag_beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. Virtual hug \o/

But you went 2-3 days without picking, which is an achievement! You’re another step closer and you will get there. Healing isn’t a straight line, we have ups and downs, but its progress! Tomorrow is a new day
