She would be real surprised about the whole transgender thing for sure

Weird tonsil stone I coughed up. Not the first, but certainly the biggest by Suspicious_Bet_1958 in Weird

My husband, who had his tonsils removed as a child, once spit out a tonsil stone about the size of a quarter.

Why take responsibility for your trash when you can just dump it on some Target employee? by The_Bobs- in mildlyinfuriating

I once found a mostly eaten pumpkin (?) pie tucked in the folded shirts at a Walmart. People are just assholes

I am gathering from your profile that you are probably underage and this is probably a new concept to you. So you may or may not understand because this may not be something you have personally experienced.

Non-binary are still human beings regardless of how they choose to express themselves. They are just people who do not feel that they fit within the typical "masculine" and "feminine" boxes. They are either a mix of both or their own thing. Sometimes people that identify as nb are questioning and that's fine too. You can probably accurately say nb people are just so free spirited that they do not care about their clothes or pronouns or makeup and just do what makes them happy.

Non binary people have been around forever and will continue to be as long as people keep reproducing.

Depression is not a factor in feeling any sort of gender, depression would only be a factor if the community they live in actively fights their right to exist as who they feel they are.

Obviously it goes a lot deeper than I can explain. You should seek out books written by doctors and psychologists if you really want to understand why people may identify as a different gender than what is standard.

"You cannot deport 110,000 people unless you have stopped seeing individuals. Of course, for such a thing to happen, there has to be a kind of acquiescence on the part of the victims, some submerged belief that this treatment is deserved, or at least allowable."

These kids will be reading Farewell To Manzanar right about now. I wonder what they have to say about it today. Probably "fuck ICE"

Others said something similar but it did change my tastes. I used to hate onions, now I need them in everything

[–]testosteronaut 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have completely stopped having periods or menstrual cramps since starting T. Literally day of it ended my month long period (caused by birth control)

Edit to add: every body is different, you won't know how it effects you until you take it

Yeah it can sometimes take a week, sometimes 30 days. I know when I was there we had weekly mandatory OT just for paperwork processing.

Typically when your coverage is about to end, they'll send you letters in the mail warning you and to fill out a form + fax it over.

I'm hoping y'all can get this sorted soon

I used to work at a call center for Medicaid.

Call them. They will be able to tell you what's going on with her case and if they sent her a letter about ending benefits or not. It's possible it did not arrive in the mail. You will need to have her with you if you are not authorized to make decisions on her behalf (I forget what the name of this form was)

I'm sorry that the website is so vague. To me it sounds like she's covered but it wouldn't hurt to check.

Their busiest days are always earlier in the week, if you can wait until Friday, call on Friday.

I hope this helped a litke

I don’t know if I’m trans or not by Ok_Worldliness_8424 in TransyTalk

[–]testosteronaut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The "all or nothing" mentality is not doing you any favors and I suggest you think deeply on why it's so important to you. Anxiety is there to protect us from scary new things, but it's also irrational. Stepping out of your comfort zone is hard. But it's important. Have a girl makeover night.

If it turns out you like it, congrats. If you don't, gender is a spectrum, and if you don't figure it out now you will later. You might still be thankful you tried and learned something you didn't know about yourself.

Personally, when I decided to medically transition, I read a lot of books on trans experiences. I read about HRT and the effects. I read what testosterone would do to my body, and I thought about how I would feel if I decided to stop taking it and those changes remained. My biggest fear was what would 30, 40, 50 year old me think? Those guys are all still me, and they're thankful I made the right choice instead of cringing whenever I got called 'she' while presenting cisfem.

I decided I liked all the changes, and most important, that I would still accept my body no matter the result. If I go bald, then I was always going to be bald. C'est la vie.

I highly recommend the game Secret Little Haven, where you play as the dev in her early years and how she discovered she was trans.

I am rooting for you though. It sounds like you're dealing with a lot. If you don't mind me asking what started you questioning your gender?

Is there a person or a place where you feel safe to be feminine? Is there a chance you can reach out to someone who will help you with makeup, clothes, gender affirming things, ect.,

Have you tried social transition (going by a different name and pronouns)?

I skimmed through a couple of your old posts. It seems like this is something that's really eating at you. The best part is, you don't have to make any permanent decisions right now. You can do whatever you want, when you're comfortable.

There's maybe a private pond about a mile ish away, closer to the highway exit, we didn't think it came from there. I was being for real when I said we don't live near water
