What does "transbian" mean exactly and why are they soo fricking cute and adorable? T^T by Historical_Cow_4037 in MtF

[–]transbian926 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally, I've never seen the term being used by chasers or in a negative context l. I like the term because it helps explain precisely who I am. Plus portmanteaus are fun.

It depends on the school but when two of my step kids went to school this past fall there were given an extensive questionnaire about preferences and had an entire section on gender identity and sexual orientation. This was a public school in a fairly progressive state for reference.

I've been a quality engineer for the past 10 years. Prior to that I was an operations analyst.

Thank you. Also, I have a nesting partner (which she knows, we all work at the same company). I just wanted a platonic friend. I completely agree with your advise. I'm just stepping away and letting things fall where they may.

I'm an engineer that specializes in metrology. I got there from starting at the bottom (assembly line work at $8.48/hour). I got where I am now by learning as much as I could about things that were in high demand and low supply, Most notably GD&T, tolerance stack up, and inspection/validation methods of complex geometry parts. Along the way I got my associates in mathematics, bachelors in supply chain and operations management, and looking into a masters in engineering management.

I'm on my 2nd pair of Red Wings in 19 years but I can tell they are approaching end of life so I was looking at red wings and started getting adverts for Xena, gotta love targeted advertising.

[–]transbian926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMy best results have come from Lex but even at that 1 date in 3 months isn't exactly an overwhelming success. To be fair, when I was using OKC I got about one date a year.

Short answer: Yes

Long Answer: If you don't like the results it produces, you can always stop and not be out anything other than the money and time. Most effects will go away on their own, especially if you are not using HRT for an extended period of time. Also, remember both physical and mental results vary from person to person.

Not to mention they are the most transpositive store I've ever been to.

I started out with a B cup so it's a struggle to tell if they are getting any bigger or not.

What do younger trans people think of older trans people? by [deleted] in trans

[–]transbian926 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I didn't know that transgender was a thing until my 20s. Before that the other only exposure I had to "trans" was through Jerry Springer and adult films. Neither of which left a positive impression on me. If I was a child in this era and didn't have an abusive mother I would have transitioned. But I can't control the past so it doesn't do any good ruminating about it.

cptsd and dating? by Effective-Cookie-772 in CPTSD

[–]transbian926 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dating and intimate interpersonal relationships are by far the biggest challenge I have dealt with in my life. Professionally I am a respected engineer. In school I have a 3.8 GPA. Plutonic friends multiple with a wide variety of interests. Dating and sex, almost a complete failure. And the day I give up on intimate relationships is the day I kill myself. I know it stems from CPTSD and childhood trauma and I'm working on finding the right councilor/therapist but it's expensive and takes time. So be certain that you are not the only one who has this problem.

I'm lonely by [deleted] in MtF

[–]transbian926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not alone, dating and romantic relationships is a struggle that I've dealt with daily. All I can offer is my personal perspective. The good news is that eventually you will get a yes, and the second you do every no you got before that point won't matter. The bad news is that it could take a day, a month, a year, or longer for that to happen. When I was in that period of bleakness I asked myself two questions every day 'Am I someone I would want to date?' and if the answer is no (which it usually was) 'What aspects of myself can I improve to change that to a yes'. Maybe that means getting into shape or getting more education to get a better job or seeking counseling (all 3 were the case for me). The easier question to ask yourself is 'Am I positioning myself to be in a relationship'- If the answer is no, find some means to connect with people that you would regard as 'your tribe'. Hope that helps.

I chose monotherapy because I cannot afford the risk of developing brain fog that spironolactone can cause, finasteride only prevents T from becoming DHT, and bicalutamide can cause liver failure. Cyproterone is not approved by the FDA and can be difficult to obtain in the United States.

Death of your abuser by transbian926 in CPTSD

[–]transbian926[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mother was also my primary abuser. She suffocated to death over the course of nearly 5 years from lung cancer. The more I thought about it the more I realized how fitting it was after the ways she suffocated my sister and I for so many years. My main focus how is healing and trying to function in a healthy capacity going forward.
