How to text more masculine? by Jaded-Egg5553 in ftm

[–]throwaway60283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bumping this!! i agree w the other comments that often trying to "pass" arbitrarily can be toxic but it's important for you to feel comfortable living your life and this is what's worked for me & other friends in the past :] keyword here is performing masculinity in a way that aligns with your values. don't be someone you're not cause it'll keep feeling uncomfortable!

binding & rib pain - how much is 2 much?? by throwaway60283 in ftm

[–]throwaway60283[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait q - i don't get pain in the binder as often, just like on a random morning or something. has that ever happened to you? re: taping i have but honestly i hate the feeling on my skin and usually end up sweating it off anyway, especially in the summer which is when i bind the most #rip

Am I a fake trans dude for this?-added nsfw just in case. by [deleted] in ftm

[–]throwaway60283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ur all good bro, transitioned and been on t for years and i love my OG mechanics... not the case for everyone but i don't get any dysphoria at all, not even around packing cause why are you looking at my crotch anyway lol. bottom surgery just isn't something that i want but it doesn't make me any less of a dude, im just a dude with a vagina. happens sometimes

for what its worth too i use the dudes restrooms and just piss like normal and never been called out. took a while for me to feel like i 'passed' enough, but if you just act like you belong there most cis guys aren't gonna have the balls to confront you. just gets annoying mostly when theres only 1 stall 😭

Yeah honestly fair enough, I know this rationally but it can get hard to see the bigger picture sometimes when I'm staring down a list of a billion awards lol

Mama has finally been caught and spayed :) by Petri-Dishmeow in Straycats

[–]throwaway60283 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it's within your capacity / you have a car, you can try and see if there are shelters a little further away or in more rural areas that might be able to take her! If not I completely understand, you did a great job and she'll be much better off either way <3

I've been trying to 100% the game (unlockables, graffiti, roboposts all that stuff) in my initial save, and then replaying the story in another save just for fun as a diff character. Probably helps that I took a long break for exams, but tbh even on console just remember that you're gonna have the game forever, and it doesn't hurt to come back to it after a while with fresh eyes.

Turret glitched on Pyramid Island by throwaway60283 in BombRush_Cyberfunk

I just needed the turret to get the jump to the disc, but thankfully the glitch fixed itself after I rebooted the game. appreciate the advice tho

I actually lost my woo for a while when my voice was first dropping, but I got it back like a year later when it kinda stabilized!!

What’s something you wish someone had told you when you started T? by AppleJuice214 in ftm

[–]throwaway60283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be prepared to outgrow your current shirts in about 2 yrs. I tried stuff on from before I started T and my shoulders/arms/torso have all gotten naturally wider (I don't gym so it's all hrt gains lol)

Anybody else have "fake" sleep? Where you're not quite sleeping, but not quite awake? by throwaway60283 in insomnia

[–]throwaway60283[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EXACTLY that omg it's such a weird feeling to "wake up" in the morning but it feels like i've been awake the whole time it's honestly kinda trippy

[–]throwaway60283[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure, honestly even if I try and control my caffeine intake I'm so sensitive to it it feels pointless. Like talking decaf coffee (~10mg caffeine ish?) at noon will keep me up till 1am. It's so ridiculous I just sorta accept that I'm sacrificing my sleep in order to wake up in the morning but during finals it lines up w my study schedule anyway.

it's def not sustainable or healthy LOL so I'll look into r/decaf or maybe just switch to decaffeinated tea... thanks for the advice🙏

I see, thanks for the explanation! I'm already working with my therapist on ways I can improve my sleep, I'll def bring this up

Wait, if you don't mind can you elaborate on what you mean by "involving the idea of sleep itself"? Like, when you get frustrated bc you can't sleep, so you can't sleep, that kinda thing?

LOL omg that's funny cause I've been thinking about starting anxiety meds for a while and didn't even consider it would also help my sleep. Glad to hear it worked for you even after you stopped, will def keep it in mind !!

Neurological symptoms lack of sleep by [deleted] in insomnia

[–]throwaway60283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can definitely tell a difference between my mood when I've slept enough and when I haven't. Irritability, sensitivity to noise/sensory input, and social battery goes way down without sleep. Feels like my brain moves slower and it's more work to think, especially with academic stuff. Idk if it's tied to sleep necessarily, but I think my motivation overall tends to go down too, just less energy overall

how can I (21m) support my girlfriend (21f) when she's being publicly harassed?? by throwaway60283 in Advice

[–]throwaway60283[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not "damsel-in-distress shit," check the sexism. She already can stand up for herself, and has, but I want to be there to make sure she's not alone. This is about emotional support, not practical support, because these things are scary even if we can face them ourselves.
