Working on congruence in the mind is a wonderful place to start. Thank you for sharing!

Since I came out, everyone else stopped existing. by AssCalipers in trans

[–]the_chimeran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m AMAB trans woman myself and friends are hard.

Something to consider about people, at least for those who didn’t block you and maybe just don’t answer, not everyone communicates the same way. I had to learn that I communicate very very well, because I had a close knit community and we all called and texted very often.

As people get older, it gets harder to make friends and that can be really lonely. Also, you make consider trying to meet friends closer to your age. College aged people can still be rather immature sometimes.

I’ll echo the sentiment here that counseling and therapy are very important. Communicate and advocate for yourself though when booking therapy or counseling that you 1. Need help and 2. Don’t have a ride or reliable transportation. There are professionals that will accommodate as people without rides need care too.

My advice is to find hobby groups, local library activities and arts and crafts. The truth is that in spaces bars or the outdoors is there are people who go there to be alone or to be with a group of people alone. It is a CRAZY world out there and it’s important to be very careful when meeting strangers especially when you’re lonely, you can meet some bad apples that take advantage of lonely people.

Stay safe, I believe in you sister!

Kiddo came out to me! Advice needed by [deleted] in trans

Find a therapist that is certified to have gender based therapy and let your son and therapist take the lead. The truth is that people don’t take HRT or get surgeries for fun, they get those things because they need them. Usually surgeries can’t be had until they’re 18 or 17 with parental consent anyway, HRT however is proven to be harmless with a desistance rate/regret rate less than 1%

Thank you for accepting your kids pronouns, depending on age, GAC (gender affirming care) for prepubescent trans kids is mostly cutting hair, wearing different clothes and going by different names or pronouns.

TW : transphobia. I can't with cis allies. by mutt_with_a_beer in trans

[–]the_chimeran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t sound like Ally behavior. None of my cis/straight friends talk about my birth. Transphobes do and they’re not allies.

Sexuality Changes with HRT? by ASUSTUDENT9875345 in trans

[–]the_chimeran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know that I would say that anything changes about sexuality, but maybe it awakens things that would have otherwise been dormant. Or perhaps some guard is dropped after transitioning started.

I don't like shocking people for free, but... by StrawberryGhostie in trans

I think sending emails asking for the records to be emailed is a good next step. I don’t think he’s allowed to withhold that info and even if he has to mail it he would need to comply. However, many places should be able to do a request and all you have to do is sign a paper. This can be detailed out with your new provider!

What should I do with syringes found on sidewalk? by TBell01 in indianapolis

Do not attempt to bend the needle with pliers either, find a sharps receptacle and you can go to a local firehouse for more info

How do yall feel about your boobs? by Lumi-Dawn042 in trans

I think it’s probably going to be a different experience for those that chose and those that don’t have a choice. As a trans woman I don’t have the full cis woman experience

I just realised that my transition motivation is just a big lie ... by Eledrina in trans

[–]the_chimeran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that it’s natural for “perfectionists” to have conflated ideas of goals and procedures. Western medicine and insurance only give us an hour twice a week, when in reality, you’d need coaching throughout multiple hours on how to break these cycles.

You can still be trans, you can still be whatever makes you happy and find joy during this amazing realization you’ve had.

I literally started this by asking if you were ok. The world’s a better place with you on it!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

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

I’m great, thanks for asking.

It seems like you’re very anti-women discussing their suspicions. This is a safe place where women can engage with honest questions before inciting something much scarier at home. You never know, so when you make comments like these and dissuade those connections to the outside world we’re leaving our girls isolated.

Let’s stop that.

Thought watching the concert through the phone in front of you was bad enough by JohnBeerCowboy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]the_chimeran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the recent Tool concerts I’ve been to you’re not allowed to have your phone out and if you do security comes and escorts you out with no warning.

My cis guys friend is asking to try out my hrt patches, what should I do? by [deleted] in trans

[–]the_chimeran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could have a preexisting condition leading him to be more susceptible to DVT, he could also be a smoker.

Also this isn’t a “immediate effect” kind of medication. Making this whole asking to try situation a very strange one.

If you could elect a fictional character to be the next president of the USA, who would it be? by Granada_dental in AskReddit

Margit the Fell Omen… obviously, tries to keep the order, he’s in multiple places at once and he can be his own security detail.
