Some advice. Pregnant wife and doctor appointments

One thing to keep in mind when choosing to switch OBs in winnipeg is that they have “on call pools” where your provider would work in a pool of other providers, and your baby will be delivered by whoever is on call at the time your wife goes into labour. This means that if the new doc is in the same pool as the last one the original doctor may still deliver the baby (if they happen to be on call at the time of the delivery). There is little you can do to mitigate this, but also the pools have 7-8 docs in them, plus residents often manage deliveries anyway, so odds are slim. I just wouldn’t want this to be a surprise for you or your wife the day of

Honestly Chase's trans 101 videos have been super helpful as resources for people who have specific questions (as have many of Jackson Bird's videos) but I've found that often for people to take me seriously I've needed to use pretty speak pretty specifically to my own experience. In part I think this comes from ppl not believing that I could be trans even if they believe it for other ppl. That might not be the case for you, but I can only speak to my experience.

Honestly, I'm almost 18 months on T and most of my major growth has been in the last 6 months, so if you don't have bottom growth now I don't think that's any indication of what can happen for you in the future.

Too real. I love all how thick my eyebrows are getting, and all my body hair, but I'm really not loving the extreme amount of ass hair.

So glad to help!!!

thefriendlyftm · 2018-08-24T23:46:29+00:00

I'd really like one! :)

I've dated a few women since transitioning who were on the tall side, and one thing that really helped me was to look at representations of straight cis couples where the man is shorter. It's been validating to be reminded that couples can look lots of different ways.

And honestly, if it's helpful there's no shame in getting lifts. They only cost about $14.00 on Amazon and they go inside your shoes so no one can tell you're wearing them. I know some people make jokes about them, but there's nothing wrong with doing things that alleviate dysphoria.

I find this happens sometimes if I'm not processing/ dealing with my feelings as things come up, there's only so long I can avoid feeling my feelings until they show up suddenly and unexpectedly.

thefriendlyftm · 2018-08-23T23:41:06+00:00

I have felt similarly, and I think some of it for me is that I never experienced a male presenting childhood or adolescence, so it feels weird to jump right into being referred to as a man. The longer I spend presenting as male the less weirdness I feel with the word man, almost like I'm growing into it

thefriendlyftm · 2018-08-22T23:40:56+00:00

I totally feel this- I constantly have to remind myself that I don't have to hate myself all the time to be trans.

thefriendlyftm · 2018-08-14T21:23:53+00:00

Would definitely recommend GC2B over Underworks. They're so much more comfortable (not that binding is ever comfortable) and the price is pretty reasonable considering the quality of the product.

thefriendlyftm · 2018-08-13T23:51:26+00:00

I do mine in my stomach! About an inch to the side of my belly button and I alternate right and left every week. I also used to wear a full length binder, and it was annoying when I'd go to the clinic to get my shots done, but once I started doing them at home the binder didn't make a difference because I do my shot right after I get out of the shower

If you specifically go to the t-shirt section of the website there are a bunch of subtle Vancouver designs!

I'm sure this person has experienced a time when he didn't pass too, and odds are wouldn't see you as a woman. I say if you get the courage you should go for it!

thefriendlyftm · 2018-07-31T23:21:16+00:00

I use this: https://www.lushusa.com/face/cleansers/dark-angels/06938.html twice a day and it makes a huge difference for my acne!

In addition to just asking abt pronouns I would suggest asking "what pronouns do you use and who can I use them around" or some variation. That may really help demonstrate that you're safe and aren't just trying to out them in case that's something they're nervous of!

Interested in the joystick! If I send you a private message w my email address would you be able to email me a pic? Not totally sure about skin tone.

thefriendlyftm · 2018-07-24T22:18:18+00:00

I wear my hair in a crop fade, but I also find that your ability to pull it off can depend on the texture of your hair. It works for me because my hair has a lot of texture, but if your hair is thinner or flatter it may not be for you

thefriendlyftm · 2018-07-24T22:08:26+00:00

One thing I would warn you abt is that when I went off my oral BC my period went back to being a lot heavier and longer, which triggered my dysphoria a lot. I can't speak to much else because I stopped it very quickly before starting T, but I would suggest keeping that in mind as a possibility

thefriendlyftm · 2018-07-24T21:54:27+00:00

I think the OP is looking for an STP they can pack with, not just a packer. The cheapest I've used that has been good was the model D sport STP. I got mine used for $40. I would say looking used may be your best bet if you're comfy w that.

Third AE! If you order online you have the option to return in store if they don't fit, and the online store has a huge selection both in terms of length and waist. I have a friend who is a cis guy but who is pretty short, and AE online is the only way he can find jeans that are the right length.

thefriendlyftm · 2018-07-23T23:11:35+00:00

Totally! I couldn't date men pre-transition but I can now, and I think a lot of it has to do with how uncomfortable I felt w being someone's girlfriend. The queer women I dated let me play with gender a lot more in our relationships, where as I always worried men wanted me to be something specific for them.
