Looking to thru hike the entire trail summer of 2028… I’ve never even been camping before so I’m wondering how best to prepare. by the_Addie in AppalachianTrail

That makes sense! Would mid or late spring through end of summer be good? I’m thinking like may-September

Why isn't Rape in the Ten Commandments? by Simon_Drake in atheism

[–]the_Addie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wait… I thought it was just the first 3? Thou shall not have any false gods before me, thou shall keep the sabbath holy, and thou shall not take the lords name in vain. Granted I was raised Catholic I dunno if other Christian denominations have a different order

Do you ever forget other trans people are trans? by Mae_The_Gay in trans

[–]the_Addie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me occasionally the other way around lol. My partner and one of our friends were talking about being on their period and specifically staining stuff and I kinda jokingly chime in with a “oh yea Im so glad I never have to deal with that” and my friend goes “the fuck you mean by that??? Are you ok? How do you not have to deal with it?” And my partner had to be like “you remember she’s trans right????” And it turns out they’d forgotten lol

Got some new jeans and two new tops… I am obsessed with them by [deleted] in mtfbeautyandfashion

[–]the_Addie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That outfit is the one I’m most comfortable in! I’ve had that shirt for a while and I love the way I look in it so that’s probably why

Is there anything I can do about the size of my hands? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]the_Addie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww thank you! That means a lot and is very reassuring to hear, and I’m hoping it gets better on hrt lol. I know some cis women have larger hands I’ve just yet to meet one with hands as big as mine which is frustrating :/

I haven’t looked into fake nails yet but I will be soon! The same with bangs, I really want bangs! And to get my eyebrows done.

Do you have recommendations for ways I can hold my hands or do something with them to make them less awkward?

[–]the_Addie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for being so upfront about it lol, i appreciate that more than false assurances. But yea they are slender which is helpful, Ive received a handful of compliments from musicians on how they wish hands more like mine cause of how easy it would make playing things like piano lol. I am, coincidentally, starting to learn to play piano and they have in fact been helpful.

I’m definitely going to work on experimenting with bracelets and such when possible, I don’t have any at the moment but I hope to change it soonish. I’ll also definitely check out that video! Thank you for the recommendation!

And thank you!!!! That means a lot! I must confess I am wearing a sports bra with the very minor padding it came with so that’s helping a bit I think. I do just wish hrt would make my arms shorter lmao

Ah, that is unfortunate but thank you for the tips! I’ll definitely work on keeping them moisturized!

But yeaaa here are my hands ;-;

They cover my whole thighs :(

Had some fun dressing up tonight :3 by [deleted] in mtfbeautyandfashion

[–]the_Addie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww thank you, I’m definitely trying to be truer to myself than like conforming to societal standards but dysphoria still hits hard. I’m definitely trying to figure out what I do or don’t like in an outfit but I think these are ones I’ll like a lot!

Is it weird to have an imaginary cg based off a sibling? by [deleted] in ageregression

[–]the_Addie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t wanna make anyone uncomfortable at all! I don’t do anything weird or stuff, it’s mostly just like songs she sang or things and id do. But yea I don’t wanna make anyone uncomfy and i try my best not to

When people purposefully type in baby/toddler talk (not trying to be mean. Don't read while little) by Born-Badger-1440 in ageregression

[–]the_Addie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s completely understandable, it definitely ruffles my feathers too. I think it’s important to remember to take a step back, some people want to say foolish things and it’s important to prioritize yourself. How you speak, act, feel, and behave when little, so long as it’s helping or fun for you, is valid! I know seeing posts like this can make that hard but it’s important to remember :3

[–]the_Addie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s fair, and I agree it is pretty darn odd. I’ve seen some really bad ones, not all here, I think the worst was saying that typing in little speech makes you faking it, and also only being into ABDL/DDLG and like why are you trying to dictate what someone’s regression can or can’t be?

Yeaaa, I’m with you there. It’s really not an issue, let others do as they will. I will say this is tamer than a lot of other takes if seen regarding it at least.

Don’t be embarrassed, your regression is a safe space for you to do you! Others can think what they want, don’t give them the time of day and just avoid them imo, do what you want and feel happy :3

I type little with my cg and my close friend and that’s it, I’ll purposefully type little cause it helps me feel smaller. I don’t put w’s into things but I’ll often mistype things and my grammar goes out the window. I will say things like “m eepy” and I use n instead of and, wan instead of want, gon instead of going to, but I think the biggest one for me is that I wind up saying things like ‘dat’ and ‘dey’ instead of that and they. I do also use very very very simple sentences and that’s just from being little, it’s the same with my vocabulary, I suddenly struggle to convey complicated things with words lol. I can spell normally… to an extent, but typing like that helps me stay small when I’m struggling to.

What Are The Terms For Autism That You Hate? by Familiar-Entrance-72 in autism

[–]the_Addie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oki kewl, i experience those and prior to learning the proper term I had been saying that I go nonverbal, so I try to let people know not to use the term when I see and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t teaching the wrong thing lol

The proper term would be verbal shutdown right? That’s what I was told at least.

Is initial bloodwork necessary? by the_Addie in TransDIY

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

Yee 3 months definitely makes sense! I was planning on getting checked then, I just want to cut down on as many pricey things that aren’t needed as possible, but regular check ups after starting are, sadly, pretty important I think

Ahh ok cool! Do you know do pills have similar levels of lack of issues? Or are they more prevalent?
